Great experience and best service - Excellent tour and tour guide. Very flexible and focused on our needs and choices. Extremely friendly and courteous from pick up to drop off. Tour content was excellent. The misty weather added to the very different landscapes this tour has to offer. Highly recommended.

Iceland's South Coast Tour - Stupendous - Anton, our driver & guide, was outstanding. Thorough, thoughtful, kind, patient, he picked up that I love photography & helped me find opportunities. The beauty of this country must be seen. Pricing was fair, we say "just do it", you will cherish the memories.

Great South Coast tour! - I did a spread sheet evaluation of all similar tours. This one won for schedule, stops, size of group and cost. The van was clean/comfortable. Our guide/driver, Anton, was very good at both. He provided so much information and sense of culture. The lamb soup recommendation at the Black Sand Beach was right on. The falls and glacier stops were well timed for length of stay. This was a memorable second day in Iceland.

Amazing tour, great guide, would book again. - We were recently in Iceland for a couple days as a family and took the south coast day tour. Our guide Anton was fabulous and provided just the right amount of information about the sights we were seeing and Iceland in general. Loved the small group size and the stops were perfect. The minibus was good and had USB ports for charging and fairly reliable wifi as well. We would do another one of their tours (in fact we did the next day, will review that one separately). I should mention that the south coast tour is an out and back and your return trip from the last stop is about 2 hours of straight driving so if you're bringing kids probably worth packing an activity or two for them to do on the return.

Great tour even on a rainy day - Anton made a cloudy, rainy tour of South Iceland brighter by providing the humor and information we needed throughout the day. Breathtaking sights even on dreary weather day. We will definitely be back.

VIP treatment on a small group tour - Even though we booked a small group tour, it was just the 3 of us - so it was perfect VIP treatment from Anton and Back to Iceland Travel! We had all the time we needed at each stop, and we were free to explore however we wanted. Anton had a great sense of humour and gave us plenty of interesting information on the tour, but also gave us time to rest quietly - it was a perfect mix! The South Coast is a MUST do in Iceland. Stunning scenery with a perfect guide! Highly recommend Back to Iceland Travel.

Excellent tour and guide for southern iceland - Anton was amazing, we got a private tour when everyone else cancelled and we decided to take our chances on the weather and it all worked out and we got to see the most beautiful part of the country. I was very impressed with the beauty and Anton was an efficient driver who avoided the crowds and kept us well informed on everything. Thank you Anton!

Best Tour Company in Reykjavik! - My extended family and I booked private tours from Reykjavik to Golden Circle, South Coast, and to Blue Lagoon through Back to Iceland. Attached photos are from all the different tours. We also booked all of our airport transfers through them. The owners and their other guides were all excellent! Cannot recommend them enough. They were prompt and provided a lot of information along the tour routes. The owner Anton was our guide for the South Coast tour and was especially great. Highly recommend Back to Iceland!
