Great Tour of Southern Coast - Had the tour with Dylan from Reykjavik Excursions. It was a great experience all around. Each stop was beautiful and we were given a good amount of time to take in the sights and take photos. Dylan provided great info on the locations and on Iceland's history in entertaining fashion. He also did a great job preparing us with what to expect at each stop and ensured we knew which ones had food and facilities.

Eric the Best! - This was a full days tour of Icelands beautiful landscapes, towns and sites on the south coast. Our driver/ guide did an excellent job navigating ever changing weather, relaying practical information, providing informative narrative and a bit of comic relief all while keeping us safe, and fed! He was the best tour guide ever! The sights were breath taking, albeit a bit busy/ crowded. Once in a life time day for us! Thank you Eric!

Waterfalls, Glaciers and black sand beach - Trip was well organized and our guide Albert was very knowledgeable and a pleasant to be with. My only suggestion would be to have a cooler full of water bottles as not all people are prepared for that 10+ hour trip.

Eye opening and amazing!! - We had Benedik as our tour guide. He was excellent. Benedik is very knowledgeable, kind and all his explanations were very clear and well informed. His command of Icelandic history is admirable. We enjoyed this excursion very much. I highly recommend it.

South Coast Wonders…nature at it’s finest! - Both me and my partner had such an incredible time on the South Coast tour. There was so much to see and we were out for pretty much the whole day, but it was so worth it! Skogafoss and Sejlandsfoss waterfalls were stunning, and seeing Solheimjokull glacier and how far it had receded was shocking but breathtaking at the same time. Our tour guide Albert was fantastic and even showed us some hidden treasures (like the Gljúfrabúi secret waterfall). Would 100% recommend this tour to everyone who visits Iceland!

A Bad Experience - Wife and I booked the South Coast tour. Supposed to be picked up at our hotel (Hilton). We got down to reception about 5 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time. Bus had gone, driver apparently didn't even bother to enquire at reception! Sent the tour company email, complained, and asked for a refund. Company responded with "too bad, you were late, we don't hang around, you will not get a refund"
