Absolutely amazing activity with a great tour guide (Emilia) - My family of four (two daughters of 14 and 16) had a great time on the two day tour. It was perfectly organized, and our amazing guide Emilia really packed in as much as possible during our time together. The company was great in all emails and pretrip planning. One relevant piece, my daughter has slightly affected mobility, and she was still able to do the glacier hike, so there is no reason not to go for it! Could not recommend this anymore. Small note: we were supposed to do a second tour with them that was suddenly canceled (these things happen), but they went above and beyond to set up an alternative for us and make us whole.

Two Days Touring Iceland in the Wind - We thoroughly enjoyed our two-day south coast tour. Our guide Emilia was knowledgeable and made us feel like we had some independence even though we were on a tour. We were really hesitant to do the tourist thing but ended up really liking it. Really enjoyed the waterfalls. (We even get stuck in a windstorm and had to stop for awhile and Emilia was so professional and calm.)

Amazing 2 Day Small Group Tour!! - We were so excited for this 2 day experience and it did not disappoint. We had the pleasure of doing our second tour with Matej who is fun, friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about so many things related to Iceland…. not to mention his excellent taste in music. We had a small group and he was accommodating to our extra request to track down some puffins, which we were lucky enough to see!! Overall the entire 2 days was fabulous and our young adult boys said it was the best tour and their favorite family vacation. Do not hesitate to book with Hidden Iceland!!!

Perfect trip planning - I planned a trip to Iceland for my high school friend and me for our 50th birthday. We did not want to drive but also did not want to do giant bus tours. Hidden Iceland was perfect - small groups with excellent guides. First, they spend six months on back-and-forth emails to help nail down the exact plan, including airport pick-up and an unforgettable day at Blue Lagoon. The two-day trip was our first and also the best. Our guide, Prokop, was terrific - knowledgeable, interesting, kind, and funny. It is hard to overstate how beautiful Iceland is, but you need a guide to appreciate what you see. The two-day trip was my favorite, but Golden Circle and s. Peninsula are also amazing. Also, Hidden Iceland helped with the whale-watching tour - the partner they used for this trip was fantastic. All in all - 5 star experience!

10/10 would book again! Amazing experience! - An amazing two days travelling the south cost. Our guide Holly was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to show us all of the sights and give us information on each location. There were plenty of stop off points for pictures and snacks! As well as being super fun, Holly was a geologist specialised in volcanos, so was able to give some really interesting information on the volcanos we passed, recent volcanic activity, and the volcanic history of Iceland! Thank you Holly for making it such a great trip! We got lucky with the weather but also got to experience some of the famous Icelandic wind which is really strong! The highlight had to be the ice cave which was just amazing and unlike nothing we had seen before. The waterfalls were also super pretty. The guesthouse we stayed at was amazing and the view was beautiful. Unfortunately no northern lights to be seen. Hidden Iceland had booked out all the north facing rooms for us however so we had more of a chance. Truley an incredible experience - we will definitely be coming back to Iceland and booking more tours through them!

2-Day trip Iceland trip - I had this trip booked as a surprise birthday gift. From first moment both guides were amazing, Matej and Fennar, they took amazing care of us for the entire trip. From all the background stories on iceland and their personal experiences. Stops were great and always made sure we had everything we needed. Other great aspect was how much they took care of our safety and overall wellbeing. Amazing trip, amazing guides and amazing memories! Highly recommend!
