Great experience - Great tour in general! You cover loads of nice attractions in one day. Our tour guide and driver Dylan was very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely recommend if you are visiting Iceland for only few days 😊

South Shore spectacular - We were especially lucky with this 10 hr long tour as we had clear blue skies and golden sunshine, which I'm told is fairly uncommon at this time of year. Our guide Ragnar's commentry (both in English and German) was interesting and just right and the highlights of the day was the visit to the black beaches at Reynisfjara and Vik as well as the Sólheimajökull glacier - and just the views from the bus window. The drive itself was stunning.

Memories for a lifetime - Memories for a lifetime Once again, Gunnar was our guide - breathtaking views, dramatic mountains, glacier-capped volcanoes – for each of them, Gunnar invited us in a journey in time. And we saw Skógafoss Waterfall - natural marvel with rainbows, Sólheimajökull Glacier majestic and serene, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach - basalt columns, sea stacksand and cave – amazing beauty combo, Vík Village- charming coastal beauty, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall- a rare experience at night. Iceland natural beauty is amazing and sometimes, out of this world ! Our busdriver, Ragnar (hope I write it correctly) was an excellent driver, preocuppied with our safety and comfort. In an parkinglot like an ice rink he found the single spot where there was safe for us to go out of the bus. Gunnar surprised us again, reading us an Icelandic story and, for our delight, he offered a voice for each character of the story ! Again, amazing voice. Thank You

Wonderful tour! - I think our tour was actually called South Coast Wonders. Our tour guide Gunnar was wonderful. We had a bi-lingual tour in English and German, he seemed to do a good job communicating well in both languages. He was knowledgeable, funny, and friendly and certainly kept our interest throughout the tour. We learned so much about the beautiful country of Iceland and can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this tour.

Fast but efficient - A quick but effective overview to discover in one day without having the fatigue of the road a part of the far south.

Meraviglioso!!!! - Spectacular tour. Well organized. It seems to be in a fairy tale or inside a Game of Thrones episode. The snowy mountain or the black beach lashed by a tremendous wind that made you fall such was the strength are unique experiences

Great tour - fully packed - This is quite a full-on day with a lot of driving and in December the daylight makes it all a bit tight. That said, the low sun gives some great photos. Our tour guide was Albert and he was full of amusing anecdotes and quite savage warnings delivered in a dry monotone. The warnings felt a bit like scaremongering, although I do like the icelandic attitude which shines through ("it is possible to die here, but this is mother nature and you would have to be quite stupid not to give her the respect she needs") Great wateralls, wild sea, treacherous ice path to the glacier and a couple of little extras like the traditional homes. Excellent driving skills, but sometimes you need to consider passenger comfort as much as the schedule.
