“This was a fantastic tour and was a great way to see several of the beautiful sights along the South Coast! The pickup from downtown Reykjavik was very convenient and the tour company communicated how this process worked very clearly. Each of the stops along the way was well timed and the guide was very knowledgeable about the history/facts of each sight. The highlight of this trip was definitely the glacier hike! Michal our guide made sure we were all well prepared and did a great job keeping us safe on the hike. It was the first time hiking a glacier for several of us on our tour but that…”

“Great trip. One word of caution…if you book through Viator, pick up location was not accurate and the only way we knew about this was through a message through the App, not by a notifying email. We could have easily missed it had we not decided to message the operator to confirm that we were in our hotel lobby. Check the app the night before the trip.”

“Anna was very knowledgable and a great tourguide! She was very empathetic and catered to all of our needs. She made a lot of the facts relatable by sharing her own experiences. She knew everything! It was super interesting. She also kept a nice ambiance on the long bus rides with authentic, nice Icelandic music. She was very accommodating with regular bathroom and food stops. The bus driver was also very kind and concentrated for the whole 16 hour tour, driving safely whilst trying to navigate the bus against the strong winds. Personally, I thought 16 hours was too long. I’m grateful that I did it, because I otherwise wouldn’t…”
