We had a great experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The minibus was clean and comfortable. We got safely and comfortably to all the tour's locations and had a good amount of time in each spot. Every stop was so beautiful! Even just looking out the window while driving was enough for incredible views. We really enjoyed the tour and felt like we got to see a lot of beautiful nature that we couldn't otherwise have accessed (since we were not in a position to rent a car). If we come back we will definitely book a tour with Back To Iceland again!

We just got back from our second trip to Iceland this fall which actually inspired me to write a review for our experience last year with BTI on our Golden Circle tour. We used a different company to take a Golden Circle tour this year and it was not nearly as good! You get to see the most variety on this tour of any Golden Circle tour I've seen, many only include Geysir, Thingvellir and Gullfoss but the Kerid Crater was one of our favorite parts! It feels like there's endless options for Golden Circle tours, but can say with great confidence you will love this route with Back to Iceland!

Wonderful day out with Anton. This side of Iceland is massively underrated and we had such a nice day out seeing absolutely beautiful waterfalls, fjords and then relaxing at the Krauma Spa which was super nice. It's also much less crowded at least when we were there than the Sky Lagoon I'm sure because of its distance from Reykjavik. In general, would recommend this itinerary for anyone looking to go outside the "typical" tourist destinations and tours offered by so many other companies, this route was exactly as described, unique and would highly recommend.

There are many agencies that offer this tour - we decided on BTI based on Trip Advisor’s reviews - and we could have not been happier! Anton is truly an amazing guide, knowledgable, personable and so accommodating! Excellent and lively commentaries. Got to learn so much about Iceland! Definitely ready to get Back to Iceland again!

This was an absolute pleasure to take this 8 hour day tour! We saw so many different areas of Iceland - tectonic plates in a small shopping area, craters, waterfalls, Icelandic horses (don’t call them ponies!) tomato hothouse, fresh dairy ice cream, and walked between the tectonic plates! The whole day was wonderful !

We needed an early shuttle to the Keflavik airport, and decided to use Back to Iceland for the simplicity and because we had the family and a family’s worth of baggage. The service has plenty of pick-up spots around Reykjavík, so we walked less than five minutes to the meeting place. The driver was there waiting for us, and our ride was smooth and efficient. We also got to hear some history about the places we passed along the way, and had a nice chat about tourism patterns in Iceland these days. All in all, we highly recommend!

Having booked this small group minibus tour ahead of our cruise, we were surprised to find out a couple of days before arrival that we were the only people booked on that particular trip. When we arrived we spotted Anton (our driver / guide) with my name on a piece of paper and he confirmed it was just us and we would be in a car with him. How cool. The real joy of having this private tour was that at every stop we could spend as much time as we wanted - Antanas (Anton) just told us to come back to the car when we were ready to leave each location. The tour itself was really cool...starting off with a drive through old lava fields and a short stop at a shopping area at Hveragerði where the American and European tectonic plates meet. We took photos where I was in Europe and my wife was in America! We next drove to the Kerið Volcanic Crater where we had some time to explore and take photos. Up next was a visit to the Friðheimar Green House, where we sampled some fresh tomato soup and freshly baked bread. They even had tomato beer and tomato ice cream but we skipped that! Next up was the immense Gullfoss Waterfall (which we visited before Geysir as the hot spring area looked very busy). After the waterfall we headed back to Geysir to see the hot water eruptions (roughly one every 4 minutes but some bursts were more powerful than others). Next was a stop at the popular Esftidalur II Farm where we saw ice cream being made (and sampled some) and we saw some Icelandic Horses and petted one. Our final stop was the Þingvellir National Park although we asked Anton to swing past the massive cathedral in Reyljavik centre before dropping us back to the cruise port. We were amazed when Anton stopped on a roundabout near the cathedral to rescue a stranded cat, moving the kitty to the pavement and then getting back in the car and carrying on the trip! It was an amazing day, with a superb guide and the flexibility to take the whole day at our own pace. Huge thanks to Anton and to Back to Iceland Travel for going ahead with our tour despite it being just the two of us. Such a special memory.

The South Coast tour with took with Back to Iceland is one I would do again. Anton was a great tour guide, providing us with information about Iceland and stories that made the day educational and fun! Four waterfalls, Black Sand Beach and a Glacier top the list of sites you will see. We had time to explore and enjoy the scenery at each stop. Anton gave us recommendations on what exactly to see at each stop gave us background on what we would be seeing. Recommend you wear comfortable sturdy shoes as you'll be doing some walking. You'll have the chance to go behind a waterfall for an interesting perspective. You'll likely find rainbows around the falls if there is sun. I would recommend this tour with this tour company to friends and family!

This tour was amazing! The minibus was very comfortable and provided power to mobile devices as well as WIFI (extremely helpful when you forget to bring an adapter for your devices like I did). Our tour guide had extensive knowledge of Iceland and shared both facts and stories that made for a fun and educational day. We stopped at 7 stops where we had adequate time to explore and just take in all the sights. The food we were able to purchase on our journey was excellent. Highly recommend the Cinnamon Bun at the first stop (don't eat breakfast before you go) and the Lamb Soup at the Bistro in Gullfoss was outstanding (really recommend you try the local foods). When we get back to Iceland, we will be booking with Back to Iceland again and will definitely recommend to friends!

Used this transfer company to take us from the airport to our hotel in Reykjavik. Our drive was prompt and friendly. I would recommend this company if someone was looking for a transfer.

There are many individuals and companies that offer tours going to all of the scenic locations in Iceland; however, if you want a "sure thing." take this tour with Anton! What a joy. Anton is knowledgeable, personable, and just a delight as your personal tour guide. We recommend him without reservation!

Excellent service. great content. Very friendly service - willing to go the extra to make the day very worthwhile. Great way to start a holiday.

We had high expectations when we booked the Private South Coast & Jokulsarlon Glacier Tour, based on the unusually engaging descriptions of the stops on the itinerary. And we were not disappointed! Our guide, Anton, picked us up on time and whisked us away for an unforgettable day of glorious scenery and unique experiences. Throughout our journey, he shared an interesting array of facts, insights into Icelandic life, and witticisms to hold our attention during the longer drives, and ensured there were plenty of restroom/snack stops along the way. We never felt rushed and were impressed that Anton managed to get us to most of the popular stops ahead of the crowds. The flexibility of the private tour enabled us to explore several delightful spots in addition to those advertised on the itinerary. We highly recommend this tour for any couple or family seeking an AMAZING way to experience the best that Iceland’s South Coast has to offer! Thank you, Anton!

This tour was the highlight of our iceland trip. This was the second tour we booked with Back to Iceland and, as it turned out, there were a few cancelations so we got our very own private Golden Circle tour. Our guide, Anton, was fantastic and gave us as much time as we wanted at every attraction we visited. He remebered what he had told us the previous day and avoided repeating information, and provided intesting information without being overwhelming. He also, on account of the tour group being just us added some other interesting stops including pointing out where Önnuhver (the garbage hot spring) was, as well as letting us pick where and when we wanted to grab lunch. This particular tour stopped at several places that some of the others did not which is why we chose it. As mentioned in my previous review, the minibus was good, with USB for charging and fairly reliable wifi. Would book with them again!

Antoine was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. Gave us plenty of time at each site so we don’t feel rush at all. Also stop at places we can get snacks in between (greenhouses that grows tomato and dairy farm). Enjoyed the trip immensely!
