Great tour but very weather dependent - The weather wasn’t great but the tour guide did his best to help us see the waterfalls and the glacier. The bus driver was also amazing because at times, all you could see was the fog. We saw some great views which would be even better with good weather, so I guess I have to come back! The tour guide was great at the end as he went around to check where everyone wanted to be dropped off and found close spots - very handy and thoughtful!

South coast of Iceland 🇮🇸 - Gregory and Darren were absolutely amazing, Darren was very knowledgeable and friendly, I loved how his humour peeked out through the tour it made it that extra bit fun and felt like we were actually apart of the group as he got us involved by speaking to everyone separate. I learned so much about Iceland from being on the tour from him. Our bus had broken down on the first stop so we had to wait 2hrs but both Greg and Darren resolved it quickly and got us transferred onto another bus to continue the tour. Gregory made us feel so safe when driving, especially when it was harsh wind and fog, he went through it at ease and safely while still getting to our stops on time and finishing at the original time despite the 2hrs we had lost due to the bus being broken. They both made the journey fun and exiting and well worth the money. I highly recommend gray line tours to anyone that is coming to Iceland!

Best trip of my stay in Iceland - The trip was excellent from start to finish. I was in a group with Darren as the guide and Gregor driving. Darren was very knowledgeable and very pleasant and I feel like I have learnt a lot. The places we saw were incredible and we had a decent amount of time to explore each place. There was always a check once on the coach to make sure everyone was back which is also important as I was on another tour (different company) a few days before where a couple was left behind and we had to go back. The black beach and the glacier were one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous country! - When I first read about this day-long tour and its attractions, I wondered if I’d see enough to justify devoting a whole day to the outing, since I had only 4 days in Iceland. I’m now so glad I committed to the excursion. The pictures are appealing, but it’s an entirely different experience to see the beauty of the Southern Coast in person. The pictures don’t capture the scale of the majestic waterfalls and the majesty of the mountains. Despite it being a rainy day, everyone in my trip felt humbled and excited by what we saw. Our guide entertained us with stories and kept us safe in hazardous driving conditions. I’ll remember the perspective I gained about Iceland I gained from this trip for years.

Best vibes - We really enjoyed this tour. Karen is knowledgeable and entertaining and Damian is a great driver. My favorite stop was Skógafoss. Bring waterproof gear if you want to go behind the waterfall!
