What To Expect
Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss is one of the best-known waterfalls in Iceland. It is 65 meters tall according to the National Land Survey of Iceland and it is breathtakingly beautiful. It is a must visiting Seljalandsfoss when visiting the south-coast, you will not regret it!
Skogafoss
Skógafoss is possibly the most famous waterfall along Iceland's Ring Road, simply by proxy of being within an easy drive of Reykjavik and being prominently visible from the highway, however the falls are quite significant and make a very strong and lasting impression when they first come into view. Most of the filming locations in Iceland are easily accessible for visitors, including the famous Skógafoss Waterfall in South Iceland where the famous TV shows Vikings and the Marvel movie Thor was filmed.

5.00Booked this full day excursion with Andres Ivanovic and it did not disappoint. Andres was fantastic! He picked us up from our hotel in Reykjavik on-time in a very clean SUV. We had booked a full day and he gave us a quick overview and then made a couple of real-time adjustments to the plan as he got to know us better. Great info, great insight, lots of great conversation. We did several waterfalls, volcanos, glaciers, a couple of museums, the black sand beaches... it was a really terrific tour and we cannot recommend Andres highly enough.

5.00We booked a full day (10+ hours) guided tour with Andres and it did not disappoint. Andres picked us up at our hotel in Reykjavik, was on time, super clean SUV and very knowledgeable of the area, politics, culture, geography, etc. We made a few small changes in the itinerary as we went and André’s was always full of suggestions and recommendations. Outstanding in every way!
Best decision ever!

5.00We found Andres & Mercury Grail after another company suddenly closed & canceled our South Coast & Golden Circle tours. It was immediately obvious that he was the right choice. Andres responded very quickly to our emails & went out of his way to assure us that both of our day long tours would be possible. Even tho he was already booked for 1 of the days we were needing, he offered to provide another car/driver so we wouldn’t be disappointed & miss the sights of the Golden Circle. We found him to be extremely personable, punctual & knowledgeable & took into account our different mobility issues & adjusted all of the places we visited accordingly. The service he provided was definitely top notch & we won’t hesitate to contact him again when visiting Iceland and we highly recommend his services. Thank you Andres (Margarita too!) for 2 extremely memorable days & sharing the beauty of Iceland.
Great tour

5.00Andres was very accommodating to allow us to go at our own pace. Walking behind a waterfall was a highlight! We also enjoyed being able to customize our itinerary to stop at an outdoor museum. We were back to the hotel at the promised time and never felt rushed. We would definitely recommend Andres to our friends and will call on him again for future trips to Iceland.
Epitome of Excellence and Professionalism!!

5.00Andres and his business partner Margarida provided excellent professional service for the duration of our 3 day stay in Reykjavik. They provided kind and knowledgeable transportation and touring for a city tour of Reykjavik, Blue Lagoon, and a South Coast tour of Iceland. Both went ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty to cater to our needs. Exceptional service and professionalism!! Would recommend this company without any hesitation.

5.00Our private tour of South Coast for 8 started in the morning. Our driver and guide for the day asked us if there was anywhere special we wanted to visit and gave us an outline of how the day would go. Our 1 request was to do a Costco run and he was able to pull that off and get us to our sky lagoon appointment at the end of the day . We toured the entire South Coast and did not feel rushed . We had time where we wanted to stay longer . This is a very nice tour and highly recommend.

5.00I had a lovely 4 day break with my daughter in Iceland and we did three tours with Andres. He worked really hard to make sure we saw some Northern Light activity even though the magnetism was low. On the other tours we saw amazing scenery from waterfalls and glaciers to crazy rock formations and geysers. It was an amazing trip and thank youAndres for helping to make it so memorable.
