Fab Trip - Long day but worth it, plenty of stops for toilet breaks and food. Guide Anna was fab and even sang a few songs for us in Icelandic.

Beautiful scenery, even better guides - Shoutout to M-Dawg! Our tour guide Matt was amazing. I have been on many guided tours in different countries and he just might be the best guide I've ever had. PLEASE NOTE: It's a GUIDED tour. If you're not interested in learning cool information as you drive along the South Coast, you're welcome to rent a car and make the stops yourself. M-Dawg did warn us that he would chime in on the PA about every 10-15 minutes or so, and he did just that. Always with a cool piece of information each time, and some fun facts or jokes you wouldn't hear otherwise. He was comedic, informative and overall a cool guy, also happy to take your photos for you! I absolutely loved the information and didn't mind it one bit, but I can see how some people might not be a fan of it, especially in the early parts of the morning, or the frequency of it throughout the day. But it was all cool with me. I don't blame M-Dawg, there's just so much cool stuff to point out at every turn. 10/10 would go again.

Thank you M&M! Must do tour. - Wow Wow Wow! This tour was incredible. I’ve never found waterfalls so beautiful or interesting but these are some sights to behold! The Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach is breathtaking and definitely something I would love to see again even if it takes 200 odd miles! Everything went smoothly, no one was late after each stop and everyone was so friendly. Big shout out to Matt for his amazing fun facts and for keeping everyone entertained on the long journey. Also a huge thank you to Mr Miami (Apologies I can’t remember your actual name!) amazing driver and very friendly. Fun fact from my home of Wales! There are 4 times the amount of sheep than there are people in wales.

Highly recommend travel with bus tour - Very recommend . I now believe the positive reviews. For solo or small friends travel group, it takes off pressure to drive as you may not be familiar with the road confidention, it also takes off pressure of planning as the guide sorted everything out. Also big advantage is having guide just chats about local life, and getting insight of their culture as well as stories of the places.

Jeff & driver!! - I think our tour guys name was Jeff! He was brilliant, after a little commotion trying to arrange busses and people on the right ones we got on the road a little later but the whole day made up for it and it wasn’t too bad. Everyone was sat on the busses instead of in the cold whilst people were switched from groups depending on the tour they were doing! This was brilliant as it was freezing outside!! He was very informative, really chatty and helpful, gave so much advice and information about everything, from the driving to the locations we were going, he gave his advice on where to stand at certain places and was just overall a really lovely guide! Me and my partner had the best day, we would definitely recommend this tour. The driver was brilliant too, drove in some tough conditions but did so really well, we all felt safe, it wasn’t crazy and like a rollercoaster, he was very mindful and got us everywhere we needed to, on time and happy! Really really pleasant trip and we were so pleased we would definitely do it again!!

Stunning - This tour was stunning from start to finish. Even though we only had about 4 hours of daylight being here in December, the lighting was beautiful and enhanced the views. Plenty of restroom and food opportunities on this tour. Ample time at each site. 100% worth it.

Great tour, great tour guide - Fantastic tour despite some challenging weather. Great commentary from Thor (not the God, or well known actor) and Paco our driver kept it all smooth and comfortable. There are some long drives, to be expected, but the views are worth. If you're going in winter then worth investing in ice grippers for your shoes.
