Trip with teenagers
I highly recommend this trip. Our guide, Brahim, was fantastic! He was so informative, fun and friendly. We learned so much and all the stops on the tour were worth it!
Monika made our trip unforgettable
Monika made our South Coast day truly unforgettable! She’s an energetic and warm guide who kept the whole bus engaged with fantastic stories, clear explanations, and lots of great music. She mixes storytelling and music like a professional DJ. She shared Viking legends about high-seat chairs and how settlers chose their land, explained how Iceland’s forests have changed dramatically over time, and gave a fascinating breakdown of the two rivers with different colors and densities. Her take on Icelandic food culture was brilliant — especially the deep dive into skyr: how thick it is (bowl upside-down test!), how it takes 4 liters of milk per kilo, and the old vs. new ways to enjoy it. She made sure we tried it at the first stop! The cultural touches were lovely: she described the classic Icelandic dating progression (ice cream date → hiking date → dinner) and played a romantic song by Brynja (Iceland’s Lady Gaga) about a hiking date with views over Reykjavík. She shared plenty of Icelandic music throughout the drive, which really set the mood. Monika was attentive and caring — she quickly adjusted the heating when the bus felt chilly and checked if everyone was comfortable. She also gave a calm, reassuring update when asked about volcanic activity. If you’re booking a South Coast tour, ask for Monika. She turns the drive into a fun, informative, and very Icelandic experience with the perfect soundtrack. Highly recommended! 😊
Amazing 2 day South Coast Winter tour. All well organised.
Amazing 2 day South Coast Winter tour. All well organised. So nice of the company to provide microspikes that were so helpful in visiting all the icy locations at ease. And Collin our guide was very good. He conducted entire tour at a very relaxed pace, with lots of very interesting info about all sightseeing locations, especially glaciers. I learnt so much about galciology from listening to him. He also went extra mile to recommend short hikes around viewpoints. His interest came through in his guiding and that made the overall experience very memorable.
Perfect!
This 2-day tour was guided by Torri, who told a lot about Iceland along the way, was also interesting and left plenty of time for each attraction. In short, it's a wonderful memory!
