    We were picked up by our driver Ian at bus stop 6 near to our hotel. Luckily for us Ian is from the same part of the world as us so we had lots to talk about throughout the day. He was very knowledgeable and had lots to tell us about Iceland (and quite a bit about himself :) )

    Our first stop of the day was a stunning waterfall Uriddafoss. Followed up with the even more impressive Skogafoss.

    After a stop near the infamous Eyjafallajokul volcano we came to my highlight of the day, the incredible glacier Sólheimajökulsvegur. Absolutely breathtaking and unlike anything I’d seen before. It’s a bit of a hike to get to the viewpoint so make sure you wear good walking boots but it’s definitely worth it.

    Our lunch stop off was in the town of Vik where we found a pub to shelter from the rain.

    From there it was on to the nearby black beach and the stunning cave used in Game of Thones. I feel the cave would benefit from someone stopping people going in as not only does it spoil your pictures but it’s a dangerous site where people have been injured by falling rocks.

    The last stop of the day was the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss waterfall. If you can I’d avoid using the toilets here as they are also used by nearby campers and aren’t exactly 5 star.

    Highly recommend this tour and Your Day travel

    Tomas was our guide. He was superb in all respects! We were picked up at the designated bus stop in Reykjavik and started the long drive toward the glacier but it went by quickly with Tomas’ information. Instructions for use of the crampons and harnesses were clearly communicated, and Tomas was patient with all in the group. The hike itself was spectacular - the glacier lagoon, the glacier itself and the views! Additional stops included the black sand beach which was most notable for the interesting basalt rock formations and the nesting birds on the cliffs. There was a nice restaurant at this site at which we enjoyed a late lunch. On the way home we visited 2 spectacular waterfalls. We returned back to Reykjavik at about 730 pm. A long day but the highlight of our trip!

    Absolutely amazing, well thought out trip.

    Book with these guys if you want a tailored memorable trip. Finnar, our host and driver for the day was entertaining, kept us safe and very knowledgable.

    It was a brilliant day out. We also avoided the crowds a lot!

    This tour was the best highlight of my trip to Iceland. We had a small group of around 12-14 people on our mini-bus for the day. Our driver/guide was informative and engaging all day, and was an expert glacier guide. We walked past all the big-bus tour groups milling around at the bottom of the glacier, put on our crampons and helmets, and hiked away up the empty, quiet glacier. I got to see things that only a small fraction of tourists will get to see. The tour stops were timed so that we reached the glacier around noon, and we mostly had the glacier to ourselves for our hike, since other tours take people for lunch at that time. The hike is quite long, but only moderately strenuous, and we took lots of photo breaks on the way up. Anyone in good health should be able to do it.

    We stopped to buy our lunches at a convenience store before the hike, and then ate on the bus after the hike, on our way to the other waterfalls and black sand beach, so no time was wasted. Everything was efficient, giving us plenty of time to see all the natural attractions at the stops. All the south coast tour buses stop at the same places, but the chance to hike on the glacier instead of simply seeing it sets this one apart.

    My third trip to Iceland but first time to the South of the island. Incredible scenery - waterfalls (can get closer than golden circle so better in my opinion), glacier and fabulous black sand beach. Vik (bay in Icelandic) was very pretty.
    Alain our guide (from Netherlands) was excellent - good driving, knowledgable and funny. Brilliant trip.

    It was an overwhelming and great experience, to have seen so many waterfalls, the beautiful glacier and the black beach was something wonderful and epic. Our guide Simon was very professional and friendly all the time, he told us several stories about Iceland, about the territory and all the places we went to. Near the end we went to a place where the food was delicious. This was an unforgettable and beautiful adventure. Thank you very much.

    If I could rate this trip more than 5 stars I definitely would! Dmitri, our guide, took us to the most amazing locations and even added stops along the way to ensure we made the most of the trip. He helped us navigate the snow and ice safely to reach incredible hidden waterfalls that other tours often do not include. Afterwards, he also sent us all the amazing photos he took of the places we visited! Dmitri was so lovely and without doubt would contact him again when we return to Iceland.

    This was on my bucket list and we had a spectacular day for exploring. Our guide and driver Gummie was amazing, the tails & history he shared was amazing. We learnt a lot about the Icelandic culture, people and history of the geology. For a very long day this was welcomed.
    I would do this again in a heart beat because it was just the best experience.

    Let me tell you - go on this tour. Iceland scenery is spectacular and if you take this tour you're guaranteed an excellent driver/guide. We had Lorin and he was wonderful. Kept us informed of everything along the way and added little tidbits on the areas we were traveling through.
    I can't recommend this group more!

    Anton was amazing, we got a private tour when everyone else cancelled and we decided to take our chances on the weather and it all worked out and we got to see the most beautiful part of the country. I was very impressed with the beauty and Anton was an efficient driver who avoided the crowds and kept us well informed on everything. Thank you Anton!

    The tour was incredible, our guide was very friendly and always followed the itinerary, in addition to telling us a lot of history about Iceland, the wonderful landscapes, the spectacular climb to the glacier with all the equipment provided, to finish with a luxury dinner. The company is highly recommended since the organization and quality of the tour are unmatched.
