The tour is very good, as other reviewers have said. Tour guide Thorsteinn is absolutely passionate about the region, very knowledge and humorous. His English is excellent! For lunch, he took us to a really genuine lovely local cafe where we could help ourselves to homemade soup and bread with butter until we were full, for about £6 per head,... More

I enjoyed this tour very much. Our guide Thorsteinn went the extra mile to make sure we got to see everything we wanted to see. He told us stories along the way only a true native of Iceland could tell. I also liked the way the tour did not feel too touristy. You can't go wrong with "Salty Tours"! More

In spite of the fact that this tour was expensive, we picked it because it sounded like the best way to see the most of Iceland we could with our limited time. It was worth every penny! Thor took the three of us out for at least 12 hours from Reykjavik along the southern coast. He was knowledgeable, charming, and... More

We had a wonderful time on this tour. In a few hours we saw stunning scenery, hot pools, had lunch by the harbour, tried dried shark with schnapps, saw the sea pounding the cliffs and more. The guide was informative and funny. Highly recommend it. More

Undeterred by rain, fog, and frozen and snow-drifted roads, Thorsteinn safely drove our sixteen-adult group to each and every promised attraction on his Mercedes bus all the while amusing us with onboard narratives and wry comments that made travel times seem shorter. We never had to concern ourselves over finding good lunch spots as he had made prior arrangements with... More

We joined a small group on 16 Jan following a breathaking Aurora Borealis display at the Northern Light Inn the previous night. I didn't think the trip to Iceland could get any better but this was the highlight. Thorsteinn, being a Grindavik resident and former fisherman took us all over the Rekjanes penninsular on the most fantastic geography field trip... More

We toured Iceland in the worst weather; snow, freezing rain, and sleet, however no one felt uncomfortable as our guide gave off an aura of confidence as he drove the van. He is very knowledgeable about the country he loves, providing intelligent insight into the people, geology and history. I would highly recommend Salty Tour to anyone visiting Iceland. We... More

Driving on packed ice? No problem. Giving great suggestions? Yup! Unflappable and patient? Check! Thorsteinn is such a great guide and an all-around gem of a guy. If you want a real experience of Iceland (especially Reykjanes Peninsula - but everywhere else too) be sure to call SALTY TOUR! Ask about their manicures too! :-) More

Salty Tours met us at the airport, it was 6am in Iceland and most of us had already been awake for around 18 hours. It was dark, which wasn't exactly surprising--we'd done our research, but still disorienting. It was a relief to meet our wonderful guide, Thorsteinn, who gathered us up, immediately told us where the coffee was, and whisked... More

Talk about harsh weather?! While we visited Iceland, our weather consisted of snow, sleet, rain, freezing rain, a bit of clearing then all of the above all over again. Our tour guide Thorsteinn couldn't have been cooler and more in control of the bus. His commentary of the area was informative and well explained, his knowledge of the terrain was... More
