Nataliia was not feeling well, and was kind enough to send a friend rather than expose us to her ailment. Our guide was Maria. She is delightful!! She met us at our hotel, which we greatly appreciate. She rearranged the path of the tour to start at our location! Her English is exquisite so we were able to understand all of the interesting historical stories, which she told very well. She introduced us to Iceland’s history with enthusiasm and humor. We felt well informed, and also felt that we truly got an experience with a “local” who made us appreciate the Icelandic people very much more. Everything we hoped to have on this tour, we had — even ending at a bakery with the best warm cinnamon rolls in the world! Thanks to Nataliia for caring about our health (we hope you feel better!). Thank you to Maria for caring about our experience and making it unforgettable!This is About Maria, Not Nataliia!

From the instant we met Said we knew that not only would we have an amazing day, but that we had made a friend for life. He was easy and funny, and laughed at all my hy husbands jokes. He explained where we were, and why we were going certain places. He took us to the Tomato Restaurant which was amazing. And truly showed us why Iceland is such an amazing place to visit. Thanks Said, we will never forget you or Iceland.Thanks Said !

Nataliia was a great host- so knowledgeable about all aspects of Reykjavík. She was enthusiastic about Icelandic culture and personalised the tour to our needs. Would highly recommend. Our price value rating in no way reflects Nataliia - it’s just that everything in Iceland is so expensive!

This driver really warms me up! From the moment he got in the car, he greeted us with particular enthusiasm, offered to chat and greet us, and intimately asked me if the temperature inside was right. The driving was particularly steady, it made people feel safe, and I was reminded of the beauty along the way, as kind and natural as an old friend. The room was clean and tidy, there was no smell, even the details were well taken care of. Being particularly familiar with the route not only didn't take a detour, it saved me a lot of time. To meet such a thoughtful and professional driver is a particularly enjoyable travel experience, must give five stars praise!Good driver for Said

The wife & I had the best time with the likely happiest guide in Iceland! Iceland may be gray, rainy and cold but SAID was warm, knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining! We had the best day (we were here for 4) with SAID - he selected the route, sights, timing & dining and we just relaxed and had fun. We didn't stop talking, smiling & laughing the full day. If you want to see/learn about sights & feel warmly treated - please call Said. Such a personable man, we even met his family who were lovely! He picked us up at the hotel for our on time transfer to the airport for our flight home. Ober offers all transport, private and group touring and will make your travel to Iceland hassle free! We highly recommend.The best private tour service in Iceland -

We met Nataliia in front of the Hallgrímskirkja church. She was nice and enthusiastic and told us (in English) a lot about culture, history, buildings, food, etcetera. After a citywalk with a lot of information and about 8 different tastings (which are chosen in consulation), we said goodbye. It was an awesome experience and I can surely recommend this activitity. Great way to learn about Iceland/Reykjavik

We were looking for a food tour with unique local delicacies and we found it! We tasted delicious cod stew and soup with lamb. And Natalia also challenged us by offering to eat the local treat Hákarl, fermented shark. Quite an experience :) Together with the other tasting we had more than a full diner. Next to this we had a lovely strawl through town and Natalia told us all about local culture and the history of Iceland. Also she gave us great tips for the rest of our stay. Definitely recommended!Super enjoyable food tour

I highly recommend Said and the Ober company. Said went over and above our expectations. He was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, helpful, and trustworthy. Our first encounter was at the port, and we rode in his taxi to our Air B&B in Reykjavik. He played a guessing game; he was so surprised my friend guessed correctly. Because of the correct guess, he gave us a discount card to use for a future taxi booking. When we arrived at our destination, he was not able to pull up to the entrance; he parked and carried all our luggage into the building for us with a smile. We were impressed, appreciative, and happy. When we inquired if we could have him as our taxi driver to take us to the airport in three days, he said yes. Said made it so easy, gave us his card and at least four different contact options. We could call or text by our phone or call and text by What’s App. Said answered immediately when we called him to schedule the time of our pickup and arrived promptly. Said greeted us with a smile and again carried our luggage to the car. He pointed out the points of interest and answered our questions about the sights and Iceland in general. I absolutely plan on booking my taxi and sightseeing trips with Said on my future Iceland trips!!Outstanding, friendly, courteous and fun Ober Taxi Service!!

The place is amazing. So quiet and serene and beautiful that never wanted to go back home. The service of hotel staff was gracious and generous. All happily ready to help out. Was also safe to venture out at 3:00 am chasing northern lights which refused to show. That’s the only regret. Else it’s heaven on earth.Wonderful

We had a great tour with Nataliia while in Reykajvik! Not only did she introduce us to some special foods found in Iceland, she shared a bit of the culture of Iceland. We enjoyed our time and appreciate the items she shared with us! Nataliia also provided us with recommendations for restaurants in and around the city, as well as a wonderful one in the city of Vik! Great tour with Nataliia!

Our 83 yr old mom had a 9 hour layover in Iceland. Our mom is very well travelled and has been to well over 35+ countries but had never been to Iceland. So on her way from Canada to Norway we arranged a day trip with Nataliia. Our mom had an excellent day with Nataliia. She was very helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Thanks Nataliia we appreciated you taking on a single client.9 hour layover in Iceland

We had a wonderful experience with Natalia. She provided us with lots of information about the history of Iceland, the significant landmarks of Reykjavik, and the significance of traditional foods. There were so many delicious foods on the menu and a few that challenged our pallets! Natalia was lots of fun and helped us to understand the history and significance of Icelandic dishes. I would highly recommend choosing Natalia’s tour.Fabulous Food Tour

Nataliia was very responsive to our needs including meeting a bit later than planned. She was enthusiastic, knowledgable, prepared and organized. She is passionate about tourism and Reykjavik. A walking tour is worthwhile with Natallia and with locals. Thank you Natallia! Beth Great local culture and food tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed Natalia’s 3 hour walking tour from Hallgrimskirkja church, through town, to the port and into the beautiful symphony hall. Natalia cheerfully shared history, stories, and stats of the places we visited as well as Reykjavik and Iceland. She also gave us restaurant recommendations and tips for visiting attractions on our own. An unexpected surprise was the popular lamb hot dogs for lunch! Natalia did a great job!
