Beautiful Landscape, Decent Tour
W5206HBgregoryl,Dec 14, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00The landscape of the south coast is definitely worth a visit. Overall, the tour was well-paced and our guide was decent, but not exceptional. He did an excellent job of warning us of how to be cautious around the surging waves of the black sand beach, and provided some good information, but possibly could have been a bit more informative. However, it was still a solid tour that I recommend. One word of caution: Back To Iceland did not seem to operate this tour. Our instructions for meeting the van said to look for a Back To Iceland sign. However, our bus was labelled as EastWest tours: a different company. All went smoothly, and the guide jumped out at our stop and specifically asked for us by name. However, it seems like Back to Iceland does not fully operate their own tours with their own labelled vans.

4.00This tour is good, not great. You see a beach, some waterfalls, a glacier, which are all cool, but not necessarily special. We enjoyed the experience and would still recommend doing it, but our silver circle tour was better. Of course it is a matter of opinion. What you should know is the tour operator and guide are great as well as the vehicle they use to transport you.
Nordic Visitor Guided Tour of Iceland for Northern Lights

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Just returned from 8 day Northern Lights tour with Nordic Visitor tour group. A wonderful trip. We traveled the Ring Road around the Island. Our guide Dagur was great. His entertaining stories made us laugh as we learned about the History and Culture of Iceland. Nordic Visitors picked us up from the airport, we booked an extra stop at the Blue Lagoon and the driver waited up to 2 hours for us then continued to the hotel. We started our tour the next morning. We traveled the Golden Circle, then started making our way around the island, hitting all the major points of interest and a few lesser known ones. The accomodations were all clean and comfortable. Most breakfasts and dinners were included. Our main desire was to see the Northern Lights and we saw them 4 evenings. Being on the Ring road was helpful with less light pollution and it seemed the coastal areas of the east and north were more likely to have clear skies at night. All of the locals were very helpful and tapping a credit card made shopping easy everywhere without having to worry about having Icelandic Krona. Free Wi-Fi was available just about everywhere we went. Our tour had a maximum of 16 and no minimum so we didn't have to worry about the tour being canceled on us last minute. We had 13 in our group. We booked our own flights through Iceland Air. A direct flight from Orlando, Florida was reasonably priced and we drove down from Jacksonville, Florida. Iceland Air seemed to have direct flights from many major hubs. We did not have any cons to the trip. I highly recommend Nordic Visitors as a tour group and hopefully you can also get Dagur for the guide.
Wonderful experience

Private South Coast Tour
Journey25536692213,Apr 23, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We booked a private tour to the South Coast with Back to Iceland and weren’t disappointed. Anton our guide picked us up at our hotel in a minibus so we had plenty of space for the four of us. We visited all the places on the itinerary and more.. Anton provided lots of information as we were driving about Iceland and the places we were passing as well as little stories and jokes. We had a brilliant day on the South Coast and would highly recommend both Back to Iceland and Anton. There weren’t many reviews on the Facebook groups I’d joined prior to our trip about Back to Iceland but we couldn’t fault them!

5.00An excellent day trip. Our guide Anton was friendly, informative and pleasant to be with for the full day tour. We visited three waterfalls, black sand beach, and a glacier with plenty of rest reststops as needed. We had all sorts of weather during the trip from sunny moments, to rain, snow, sleet, and brief blizzard with high wind and Anton got us through safely and efficiently. Recommended.
