South coast waterfalls

5.00All three waterfalls listed on the itinerary are very impressive. On the Seljalandsfoss stop definitely budget enough time to walk over and take a look at the hidden waterfall, Gljufrabui, which is a unique experience. You have to step on some wet stones to get in so definitely wear reliable (preferably waterproof) shoes. Pawel was a great guide and also gave us a lot of important safety information, especially at the beach -- the waves don't look very dangerous from afar until you see a sneaker wave hit the shore. I had some issues with the payment portal when I booked and the staff at Nicetravel was very helpful in resolving it for me even though I only realized the problem after business hours the day before the tour. Thanks :)
Great Value

5.00Bjarki was a great guide - very knowledgeable on things we passed on the road as well as the destinations themselves. On a day with a cruise in port he was able to adjust the itinerary to add an additional spot not included in most tours. It’s great value since you get to see a lot. Be sure to have waterproof clothes (at least but a cheap disposable rain jacket beforehand) since you’ll get wet just being near the main waterfall. You can also get closer if you’re not scared of getting soaked. Definitely worth the money!
Great day!!

5.00I was on the South Coast tour today and my wife and I really enjoyed spending the day see the sights with you. The sights, music and commentary were incredible and meshed together for a great experience. Thanks again for making our first experience in Iceland the best.
Lots of ticks on my Iceland bucket list

5.00We were picked up for our tour close to our hotel. It was very easy. Our driver and guide Philip - who calls himself a bus dj - made the trip a lot of fun. With only 7 of us the trip had a cosy feel. We saw Skógafoss, Seljandafoss and Reynisfjara, the black beach at Vik. There was plenty to see along the way and the whole tour lasted 10 hours with the drop off back where we started. A long day but worth it.
Iceland Awesomeness

5.00This South Coast tour was a PHENOMENAL experience. Going the third week of May was the perfect time to go. Sun was out for most of the time and experienced no rain. Just slight cloudiness and wind. Addi, our tour guide was great! So knowledgeable in Iceland history, was punctual, and all around nice. I definitely recommend this tour.
