Lilja Tours: Our Story
Founded in 2021 by Julien, Lilja Tours was named after his newborn daughter, Lilja, a name symbolizing the warmth and personal connection at the heart of our travel agency.
From the very beginning, our mission has been to create a truly personalized travel experience. We design your trip together with you, ensuring you're involved in the planning from start to finish. Once you arrive in Iceland, we don’t just guide you, we already know each other, making your journey feel like an adventure with friends rather than a standard tour.
In late 2024, Philippe, an experienced guide who has led many tours for Lilja Tours, joined as co-owner. Now our lead guide, he is dedicated to delivering unforgettable experiences and personally leading most of our tours.
While multiday tours remain our specialty, we also offer a variety of ready-to-book private day tours from Reykjavík, available for direct booking on this website. If you'd like to adjust any of these tours to better suit your preferences, we're always happy to customize them.
Our premium fleet
Our fleet consists of two high-end vehicles, carefully selected to provide the best travel experience in Iceland.
Mercedes V-Class: Comfort & Elegance
For those who value luxury and comfort, our Mercedes V-Class is the ideal choice. This spacious van accommodates up to 6 passengers and features a large trunk to store your luggage with ease. Perfect for families and travelers who prefer to explore Iceland’s paved roads in style, this vehicle ensures a smooth and comfortable journey.
Toyota Land Cruiser: Adventure-Ready
For those looking to venture into Iceland’s rugged Highlands, our specially modified Toyota Land Cruiser is built for the challenge. Designed to handle the country’s legendary F-Roads, this off-road powerhouse ensures a safe and smooth ride through even the most remote landscapes. With a maximum capacity of 4 passengers, it’s the perfect choice for those who seek adventure without compromising on comfort.
Our team
Our team is small but deeply passionate about Iceland and dedicated to providing exceptional travel experiences.
Julien – Travel Designer & Founder
Julien has called Iceland home since 2016. A true outdoor enthusiast, he spent six incredible years guiding travelers across the country, exploring its every hidden gem.

Philippe – Lead Guide & Co-Owner
Philippe has been an integral part of Lilja Tours from its early days, regularly guiding our tours. Now a co-owner and lead guide, he is the first to be assigned to our tours—so chances are, you'll find him behind the wheel, ready to take you on an adventure! In addition to guiding, Philippe also ensures that our vehicles remain in top-notch condition and that everything runs smoothly for your journey in Iceland.
