Once in a lifetime experience - OUTSTANDING DAY! Our tour leader, Johnna and driver Thomac were just delightful, and full of stories, fun facts and intimate knowledge of Iceland. The bus was so comfortable. Times at each site were good. Simply breath taking sites and to be safe with this tour was great! Food and restroom stops were perfectly timed. And a bonus there was a bathroom on the bus if needed.
Do not miss the south coast when visiting!

Loved every minute of it. - A long trip but worth it to see so many amazing places along the route.
The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable so I feel like I learned a lot along the way as well as heard funny Icelandic stories from the guide too.
Each stop was well planned and we got to see a lot in one day which made it a bit tiring but was nice to not have to worry about driving and we had the knowledge guides to assist us and provide local knowledge at each stop.
I just wish I’d had more time to explore the black sand beech but I understand why a schedule has to be adhered to.

Breathtaking - Unbelievably beautiful is the South coast of Iceland. The tour was long but well worth it. The driver Mike, and Jaena ,our guide were amazing. Their knowledge and kind service added to the overall experience. Food stops were a little rushed but more time for the itinerary made a little indigestion worth it. Also, was I the only one on the tour that did not know there was a rest room on the bus? I found out at the end of the tour that there was a hidden water closet, no signage, in the rear stairwell. When I had to use it, it was full and out of service! Anyhow, take this tour if you are in Iceland. Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you!

Icebergs at (or near) your fingertips - It is rare to drive and pass near a glacier. This is the case on the south-east coast in Jokulsarlon. The huge Vatnajökull flowed recently into the nearby ocean. Today a huge lagoon joins the sea and we can then see huge icebergs detached from the glacier front, drifting slowly.
Boat rides allow you to get closer to these masses of bluish ice. Everything is organized from a large parking lot.

Beautiful South Coast Day - We had a wonderful time exploring the South Coast with our guide Joanna and our driver Helgi. We visited many beautiful locations across our journey as Joanna provided background about Iceland’s history and culture. She was very insightful which added great value to our first excursion in the country. Would recommend.
Unfortunately, our boat ride was canceled due to the strong winds but we were refunded appropriately and had a great adventure.

South Coast - Glacier Lagoon was a neat experience. Long ride with beautiful scenery but the distance of the tour does not allow for many stops. Would have loved to stop at Skogofoss waterfall but stopped at a smaller one instead due to time restriction. Also we couldn't understand the guide very well as the sound was so muffled. All in all it was fine.

Attractions were amazing - Everything we saw was amazing. Did not like the places we stopped to eat at. Food was not good and we weren’t given very much time. It would’ve been nice to have known that we were stopping to eat that many times . Information provided only said lunch.
