Kristi & our driver were so knowledgeable and provided us with the best south coast experience. Highly recommend if you are looking to cover a lot of distance in a short period.

Our driver/ tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Since it's a small group, we got the chance to chat with him and learned a lot about the country. Aside from the arrenged stops, he would also make quick stops for photo shoots. The scenery was amazing, we saw two types of glaciers, from the mountains and from the ocean. This was a very long trip, we drove for 10 hours, but it is definitely worth it.

Very well organized excursion, kind and friendly tour guides! Amazing landscape! I liked most the Glacier Lagoon and the Diamond Beach! I recommend a waterproof jacket for the waterfall.

The South Coast tour was easy to book, and all information was provided. The tour is a very long day, but both me and my teenage daughter had a great day. We were lucky to have really good weather, so we were able to see more of the landscape on our journey to each stop. The guide explained what we were seeing on the way, sharing both the facts and folklore, we really enjoyed all the folklore stories. We had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy at our own leisure with a time to come back by. The time is important as there is a schedule to keep to so we do not lose time at other stops, unfortunately there are always a few that do not listen making everyone else wait, leaving the guide to try and find them. Every destination had amazing sights, and showing what a beautiful country iceland is. Diamond Beach was our favourite, and the guide explained that we were lucky as there was not normally that many diamonds. The last part of the journey to Diamond Beach was so windy, and i can only say what an amazing driver we had to be able to drive in these conditions. On our journey back we had a few issues with the bus because of the wind being so strong, the bonnet popped open twice, wind causing luggage compartment alarm to go off and the roft sky light popped open and in the end would not shut. This could have been a scary situation but both the driver and guide were amazing, keeping the situation calm and under control, even when they were having to push with force to open the door to let the guide out to fix the problems, as the wind was so strong the doors couldn't open. While the guide was standing holding the roof window shut driving to a safe place to stop, it stayed calm and both the guide and drivers sense of humour kept the situation positive. After fixing the bus with what we could pull together on the bus so we could carry on the guide stayed professional with no indication of stress, we even still managed to do the last stop at the waterfall on the way home. Unfortunately the bus got a little worse 30 mins from the city and a decision was made to wait for a new bus to collect us. We were all dropped as close to our hotels as possible as it was very late when we got back. This is probably something that does not happen but wanted to say that even in the worst situation we were in safe hands with the guide and driver, they were amazing. Looking back this just showed us how unpredictable Iceland can be with the quick change of weather and what icelandic population live with daily. Thank you for an amazing day.

The experience was fun and our guide, Kris, always takes the opportunity for us to stop at important sights, even if it is not included in the itinerary. She provides us enriching information about Iceland and she cracks up jokes at times because the entire trip was long and exhausting. The driver was very stern and strict, though, he does not allow food or drinks inside the bus. It was hard because the tour was long and we end up getting hungry.

An unforgettable tour of the most beautiful parts of Iceland with the loveliest most helpful tour operator you could hope to meet, Emilia, and the awesome driver Emil. The tour took us to see waterfalls, icebergs, breathtaking scenery and unbelievably there was volcanic activity in Grindavik occurring just as the coach was driving directly back towards it, the timing was perfect for spectacular views of the erruption!
