Phenomenal local guide

Our group just finished a trip to Iceland. AdventureTripr set us up with a phenomenal local guide. While we had an itinerary, our guide Rakel made the trip special with little detours to places she loved that were off the beaten path. These side trips often included her personal stories from when she was growing up. It felt like we were more than just tourists. She also took us to the best restaurants, some you wouldn't stumble upon unless you were a local. Additionally, Rakel is unbelievably knowledgeable about the history, geology, and geography of Iceland. This kind of knowledge only comes from someone who loves and takes pride in her home country so deeply. This was our first trip with AdventureTripr, and we and our guests are returning home with full hearts and memories of a lifetime.

Highly recommend this experience to anyone going through a transition

I joined Rakel's trek on the Laugavegur trail in Iceland mainly for the experience, not for coaching. At the time, I was going through an important transition, but I did not sign up thinking I needed executive coaching, What I discovered along the way was how powerful the environment can be for reflection, and how exceptional Rakel is as a coach when those moments naturally arise... I came back from the trip with stronger conviction in my decisions and a clearer head than I had in a long time. What started as a trekking adventure turned into one of the most meaningful personal and professional resets I have had. Rakel's ability to combine challenge, reflection, and coaching in a natural way is truly unique and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone going through a transition or looking for clarity.
