Book this tour! - We had an amazing time touring the Icelandic South Coast with Andre of Mercury Grail. He goes out of his way to ensure that you have a great experience. We definitely have many memories to cherish for years from this tour. He was very patient with us, knows a lot about Iceland, the history of Iceland and has a great sense of humor. Thank you for everything. John & Krystal

Good private tour - This was a great tour. We never seemed rushed at any points of interest. We highly recommend this tour. Andres was a good tour guide. Pick up point was defined and was on time.

A safe & excellent driver, many stories to share! - We had an enjoyable time seeing the best of Iceland with Andres over three days. Communicating over e-mail before we got to Iceland was easy, and while there Andres was more than accommodating for the continued customization of our days. Even after a full day's tour, Andres took us to Sky Lagoon in the evening and patiently waited for us to finish so we wouldn't have to cab back. Andres took us around in comfortable 4WD, is a safe & excellent driver, and has many stories to share! Most enjoyable day for us was South Coast.

Irresistible Iceland - The country of Iceland is truly amazing for its beautiful out of this world scenic places. Once in a life time , it is definitely worth our effort & time to visit. All the attractions are totally irresistible. Must view the Arora - Northern Lights Show, the Glaciers, the Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, Kerid, Volcanic Crater, Dynjandi Waterfall, Lake Myvatn, Diamond Beach just to name a few.Puffin viewing is a must too.
To enjoy Iceland at your own pace, suggest that you rent an EV car(from the airport) and drive along the 1300 sq km of the island. Kindly adhere to the speed limit although the drive along the coastal roads can be rather challenging. As most food are imported into Iceland, the overall food variery is rather limited and could be slightly pricy although the icelandic water is free and superb. It is very convinient as its cashless as all establishments accept cards as payment. There is no necessity to change to icelandic krona. Best time to visit is around July to September as we can enjoy almost 18 to 20 hours fof daylight.

Book the trip hands down! - Mercury Grail is a fantastic company to use. I initially chose this company because I read on Reddit raving reviews. My friend and I took a private day trip and although the trip was planned we were able to cater our trip to however we wanted. I highly recommend the south coast over the golden circle. Both are great, but the views are breathtaking on the south coast! Andres is went above and beyond to make our trip extra special. I highly recommend him as a personal driver!

Memorable Trip - Absolutely brilliant tour and would recommend to anyone.
Andres was such a good host and couldn’t do enough for us. He was fully flexible and was open to various other stops along the route so we got to see some “off the beaten track” sights as well as what was planned.
We never felt rushed at any stop and he was more than happy to take pictures for us, or leave us to do our own thing.
I had messaged Andres prior to the trip as I was planning on proposing to my partner and he was so helpful, giving ideas to make it exactly what I had wanted and it made the trip so special.
If we return to Iceland, we will 100% be booking again with him!
Thank you!

Mercury Grail is the way to see Iceland - This is the way to see Iceland-- with a private guide. And Andres the owner of Mercury Grail is just a great guide, and reasonably priced too! We spent -on and off - 5 days with him. He took us back and forth to the airport. He took us on a full day's trip to the South Coast and another full day trip along the Golden Circle. We also did a night tour searching for the Northern Lights. What we wanted to see and how long we stayed at each sight was totally up to us. You need to stop at a bathroom? No problem, Andres knew them all, and Iceland has the cleanest bathrooms we have ever seen. And we have seen a lot of them in our world travels! As two senior citizens from America spending our first time in Iceland we felt so protected and cared for by Andres. Don't be concerned by some of his use of English in his written review responses. His speaking English is fine. Andres and Mercury Grail are a great choice for seeing Iceland.

Spectacular! - We fell in love with Iceland! This was in fact due to Andres ~ Mercury Grail! We were taken for a full day to the South Coast ~Seljalandsfoss & Skogafoss ,Vik, Reynisdrangar , Reynisfjara and lunch at Black Beach Restaurant...all the while taking pictures of us and telling us the wonderful history of the area. So that our day would end on a perfect note went back to Skogafoss to see the rainbows that had appeared once the sun came out! Wow! Our second day was carefully recalculated because we wanted to go to Solvangur Horse Center and take a lesson. Andres worked his magic and we had a wonderful time then off to the Golden Circle ~fabulous and a special treat of ice cream at Efstidalur II ~ Kaffihus/isbud! at the end of this unbelievable day we went on to see the Northern Lights and yes we saw them! Andres was tireless and thankfully so since the rest of our stay in Iceland was cloudy and rainy so we would have missed them.

South Coast private tour. - Andre's was a wonderful tour guide. Our weather wasn't the best. However, he was knowledgeable, funny, and it made a not so good day, better. The drive to the South is long with bad weather. But the waterfalls, black sand beach is beautiful. I would without a thought hire this tour company whenever I could. He makes it very easy to relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. So thank you so much for sharing Iceland with us...
