Magical - Overall a long day- but once you get to Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach - it’s all worth it. This is a must do tour on your Iceland trip. Many don’t make it down this far - they stop at Vik- more than worth the extra time on the bus.

Long bus day, but well worth it. - A great trip, and a must see!
Be prepared for a LONG day on the bus. That's the only part I wasn't all that excited about, but the tour was great still.

Glacier Trip - The bus driver and leader were great!! Learned lots of cool things while driving. Bus ride was smooth and comfortable (I’m tall). Food was good at stops. All the sights were great and we got to see the northern lights on our way back.

good guide and driver with the most beautiful Northern lights as a New Year Daýs gift! - The trips were reorganized a little bit because many stores were not open on the morning of January 1. It was organized well and he was clear about the informations and the schedule of the trip. What made us most happy was that he also observed the Northern Lights on our way back to the final stop Seljalandsfoss, and we stopped at a parking lot where we saw the most beautiful Northern Lights! He also showed us how to get the clean water from the river by Seljalandsfoss. This is an amazing trip!

We had Matt and Tomek as... - We had Matt and Tomek as our guide and driver and they were both fantastic! Matt explained everything we saw and gave us very fun facts about Iceland that we wouldn't have known. Though this tour is long, Matt made the experience very fun as he and Tomek made frequent stops for sightseeing along the route. Matt also provided great recommendations for after the tour for us to visit while in Reykjavik. We absolutely loved this tour and highly highly recommend it as a great way to explore the south coast of Iceland!

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon & South Iceland - 01/01/2025
We had the most amazing experience with this tour. It was really well organized, pickup was on time and communication was great. Our guide, Gerri and Kelli were so nice. They told us all sorts of facts about Iceland. We were so lucky to have a sunny day on all sites. The bonus was that 1 1/2 hrs hours before getting back to Reykjavík Gerri spotted the Northern Lights and stopped for us to see and enjoy them. It was our best memory of our Iceland trip and I will never forget it. Thank you!!

Out of this world - A 14 hour trip but TOTALLY worth it - we saw water falls, glaciers, lagoons and Diamond Beach. Truly out of this world but very cold - wear lots of layers !!

See the topography of Iceland in a day! - Seeing the changing landscape on the drive, amazing to see the changing topography. The Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach were wonderful. Our tour guides, the one with the pink hair, was so friendly and knowledgeable- would recommend another tour with her.

Guide inappropriate stories on coach over the mic and never shut up for hours. 7am to 9pm Lord help you!!! - Lovely places to visit. The tour guide never shut up. Now please don’t get me wrong I’m thrilled to hear about a little history of the country and the places we visit. But alert from 2 hours he didn’t stop talking.
Inappropriately we got to hear about the summer he had a job in Norway where he hunted reindeer - how when they were hunting them they were between to glaciers and how they couldn’t escape. How when he’d killed 5/6 of them how they would be so frozen when he was skinning them the skin was so frozen he had to rip it off.
So hugely inappropriate with kids on board, and vegetarians too. As a human being I don’t want to he’s this not the other 9 hours yes count them 9 hours of absolute drivel.
Get different guides. Bus driver safe and amazing. Guide, simply awful:
Sights truly amazing.
Travelled on Thursday 20th February.
