South Coast is Beautiful

4.00We were incredibly lucky to have a bright sunny sky (4.5 hours) and no clouds. Our guide Rosamaria was lovely. Personable and knowledgeable. Pavel, our driver, was also great. Our only complaint is how long each stop was. In the winter, we just don’t need that much time. We could get back to Reykavik sooner and still see everything. The sites along the south coast of Iceland are quite beautiful.

5.00This experience was the best, there are few tours worldwide that not only show us history but history in action, being able to learn about the melting of the glaciers and see it happen is an interactive piece of history you can hardly get anywhere else, to be a part of a process that has spanned thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years is breathtaking, and I wouldn’t have wanted to be brought through it by anyone other than Pawel, our safe and swift driver that made sure the ride was smooth and safe and our guide rosa- Maria that not only taught us all there was to know about our attractions but also allowed us to realise the significance of what we were seeing. I would recommend this tour to anyone, an absolute must experience and easy for all.
Great experience

4.00Our trip leader on the bus for the day was really good! She knew so much about Iceland and growing up in a small town on the Island. I would have loved to talk with her more. She even mentioned a few snacks we should try when we stopped at a rest stop. We stopped at many waterfalls and E15 was out of the clouds when we went by so they made a quick stop to take photos of the glacier on top of the volcano that wasn’t planned. While the whole trip is long it was worth it! Our final stop was to walk on the Katla glacier which was the highlight of my trip. Even though we were slow the bus waited for us when we got back. Thank you for making this experience possible for me and my family!
A nice day for a a real islandic visit
