Dóra and Levente, at home in Iceland
We have lived in Reykjavík since 2013. We show you what we love ourselves: quiet bays, hot springs and the blue ice of the glaciers.
Our story
We came to Iceland for a summer job: Dóra to a research station by Vatnajökull, Levente as a driver for a coach company. In September we did not book a flight home.
Dóra is a geologist and knows the volcanoes, glaciers and plates. Levente has driven winter roads for ten years and knows where the evening sky is clearer.
We started Bazalt Túrák in 2019 with one minibus. Today we run eight tours, and on the glaciers we work with certified glacier guide partners.
Who you will travel with
Dóra
Guide and geologist
Hungarian, German, English
She grew up in Sopron, near Austria, which is why she speaks German. She leads the glacier walks and the lagoon trips.
Levente
Guide and driver
Hungarian, English
The man for the northern lights and the Ring Road. He checks the cloud map every evening, even when there is no tour.
What matters to us
We plan fewer places into a day, so there is time everywhere to stop, walk and eat.
Safety first
Every morning we check the weather and the road report. If it is not safe, we do not go.
Your pace
Where you want to stay longer, we stay. Where one photo is enough, we move on.
We look after the land
We stay on the marked paths, never step on the moss and take all our rubbish back.
Local food
We show you where locals eat lamb soup and which bakery makes the bread baked in hot ground.

The first evening was cloudy, and Levente wrote in the afternoon that we should not go. The next day he took us above Þingvellir and the whole sky was green. Even my phone took good photos, because he showed me the settings.
Dóra guided the whole day in German, although half the group was Hungarian. We had an hour at Geysir and saw four eruptions. We would never have found the lunch place by the lake ourselves.
I had never been on a glacier and was nervous about the crampons. The glacier guide was patient and Dóra walked beside us the whole way. The blue ice in the crevasses looks better than in any photo.
