Amazing Experiences on the South Coast - We did the south coast tour with Fanny as our tour guide. The waterfalls are beautiful, as is the black sand beach. It was an amazing experience to put on crampons and hike on top of a glacier. Fanny (I hope I'm spelling your name correctly) was an excellent guide.

Once in a lifetime experience! - This tour was amazing in every way and worth every penny! We were originally scheduled for Wednesday, but they moved it to Friday due to the rain and thankfully, we ended up with perfect weather the morning of our glacier hike. It was a once in a lifetime experience hiking on the glacier, made even more memorable by our wonderful guide, Michal. He provided us with a real education about the glacier and everything Iceland. He made sure we were all safe during the hike, and took lots of breaks for the group to take pictures and rest so that even folks of only moderate fitness could participate. He also provided recommendations for restaurants and other activities to do in Reykjavik.

Glacier and waterfalls tour. - We experienced an amazing glacier hike, walk behind the waterfall and up to another awesome waterfall, plus walking on the black sand beach. Roberto shared lots of history about Iceland, the areas we passed through and visited. I highly recommend this company and your guide when you come to Iceland!!

Awesome time with Roberto, our tour guide, getting to explore the beauty of the South Coast of Iceland - Loved going on the tour and getting to see some awesome places around the South Coast! The glacier hike was super fun and we all got to drink some water straight from the glacier if we wanted to, and the view was amazing! Huge shoutout to our tour guide Roberto too, because he knew a lot about the different places we went to and it was obvious he loved the country. Definitely recommend going on this tour, completely worth it!

Glacier walks rock!! - Amazing trip!! Michal was an incredible guide with great stories, history and energy!! I had read other reviews about him, and he did not disappoint! The waterfalls were awesome, but the glacier walk took the cake. Michal made sure we got as much time on the ice as possible. I would highly recommend this excursion!

Unfortunate circumstances - We chose those company because it was rated 5 stars, but that was not our experience. The bus picked us up 30 minutes late due to mechanical issues. We had to wait on other passengers throughout the entire day who were not following time restrictions. After already a 10 hour day we get down from the Glacier hike (which was the best part) the van would not start and we were stranded for 2 hours. What was supposed to be a 13 hour day turned into 15/16 hours. It totally ruined our last night in Iceland.
