South Iceland - All the sights are amazing especially the Skogafoss, Seljalandfoss, and Reynisfjara. Quite contrasting sceneries to find and enjoy.

Absolutely Worth It! - Kristina did an amazing job guiding us on this tour!! We saw the most beautiful waterfalls and incredible black sand beach!! Much more to see as the adventure goes on but those were my main highlights! Just like every other tour pick up and drop off were smooth and easy! Loved every second of it!!

Amazing South Coast tour - Had the most amazing tour on the South Coast with our guide Michael. He was funny, friendly and eager to answer all the questions we had. We also had nice weather and really saw Icelandic nature in its greatness. Definitely recommend! :)

Good, Well Organised Day Trip - This day trip is ideal if you want to see the diverse landscape of Iceland, but do not have a lot of time in the country. My partner and I enjoyed the pace, informative tour guide, and sites seen in this tour. Side note: If you like a fast paced tour, this is not for you. We spent 10 hours in total from pickup to drop-off. However, my partner and I didn’t mind and thought it was worth it.

Long but scenic - The coach was comfy and the guide was knowledgeable. The waterfalls were stunning and the black beach was so worth it! The drive is just a little long and half the day is gone before you get anywhere. It's not something I would need to do a second time, but was worth it for the first time.

Do not recommend. - Didnt go on the tour, my husband and I were at the designated pick up locations for over 30 minutes waiting. I finally contacted the company and they stated the bus had been to the destination and we missed the bus. I talked to 3 different representatives and none of their stories and pick up locations were the same…..It is absolutely mind blowing to me that if said bus had been at location they did not call out names, anything to try to locate their passengers. Super disappointed in this booking and company... complete waste of my time and money. Save yourself the hassle rent a car and look up south coast tour on your own. Do not recommend this company. I have gone on over 50+ tours and have NEVER once missed or had issues with any company.

Never Viator - The local company, Reykjavík Sightseeing, did not follow through on hotel pickup and my party of 3 missed the tour. They denied that no one came within the designated time and would not issue a refund. Our group followed all the rules because we were very sensitive to the time issues. Our word against theirs.
