Not to be missed. - This was a fantastic tour with a wonderful guide named "B" and an excellent driver. The scenery is amazing, everyone is helpful and considerate, and they know their stuff. I wish we could have spent more time at Vik, but that's just me.

It’s a core memory type of experience - This was an unforgettable experience! Travelling here solo and this was my first tour. Birta, the tour guide, was wonderfully warm, personable and kind to us. When you’re on a once-in-a-lifetime trip like Iceland, it’s important to have folks around you who encourage you to go see something and match that positive energy that makes an adventure more worth it — and Birta was this! We squeezed every minute at each place to soak all the beauty in. Thank you for making this Canadian very happy and welcomed. Thank you to the bus driver as well (forgot to grab his name) for keeping us safe and sound. For extroverts seeking that thrilling experience, highly recommend this.

Awe inspiring sight seeing! - I was profoundly fulfilled by the South Coast tour experience! Every stop we made surpassed my expectations; from gorgeous waterfalls, to black sand beaches, and the immense glacier. It truly was the best day of sightseeing I could have asked for. A heartfelt thank you to our guide, Birta, who shared such extensive knowledge of the culture and places we visited, and our bus driver, Sigurður, who ensured a safe and memorable trip.

Amazing Experience All In 1 Day - Having been to Iceland before, I wanted to show my girlfriend the amazing places which I’ve been to before while also having time to see many new sights. This tour took us to 4 amazing places: 2 waterfalls you can completely approach, the famous black sand beach with its unbelievable basalt columns, and the stunning glacier you can touch if you’re brave enough. All in a day, it let’s us go to other sights as well while not missing the beauty of the south coast. It was definitely all made possible by our driver who sigirdur’s experience and the knowledge of our tour guide Birta, who made sure to inform us throughout the journey. Thank you guys!

Everything is wonderful - Wonderful tour on a leafy and comfortable bus, with excellent stops, and dazzling paradisiacal views. The guide KRIS and also the driver FÚSI have been very cordial. They have made an effort to communicate in our Spanish language. I add that the weather has been an additional privilege. More free wifi on the bus. Highly recommend this "South Coast Wonders" tour!!!!
