Traveler reviews
A piece of me left behind on every one of these marvellous sights
Gorgeous natural sights to admire combined with hiking on the glacier with a great glacier guide. The tour guide Skùli was experienced and easy-going despite tight schedule. To the Troll company a small minus from tight schedule - the clients would benefit from changing the structure of the tour since many sights offered not enough time to enjoy of them in a relaxed manner. Otherwise I had a wonderful day!
Incredible glacier hiking with waterfalls visiting
I went with my fiancé to Bjorn and he really enjoyed the places in the South Coast and the explanations he gave about his country. It was mid-August and we saw a lot of puffins in Reynisfjara (black beach at Vik). For me the best part was the Glacier hiking and we were super happy to have Federico (Pedro) as our guide cause he was very attentive to our security, but also very friendly and fun to keep the spirits up for the physical struggle. Definitely recommend it
MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT
I genuinely hope someone reads this review before booking, as this company does a terrible job at communicating what this tour is actually like. Firstly, ill say that the the bus tour operator, Bjorn, was lovely, and none of what im about to share is a reflection of him. But i had two major issues with this tour. 1. Way too little time at black sand beach—for me this was the best part of the whole thing—it was both accessible and uniquely beautiful—black sands, puffins, and stunning rock formations. Yet we only got 45 minutes to see it and have lunch at an extremely crowded restaurant. Insteqd we wasted time at two waterfalls that look like waterfalls everywhere. 2 ok, now the worst part: the hike itself: it was described as “easy to moderate” and doable for anyone who can walk 3 miles. This was NOT the case—it involves q steep, dangerous trek to the glaciars themselves that doesnt match whats on the website—the very rude hike leader didnt share this until we were halfway through it—leaving the three of us who couldnt do the walk to trek back on our to own to the parking lot in the freezing rain, where we waited 2 hours + out in the open while the rest of the group finished the tour. If i had known how difficult the tour was, i would have booked something else. Such a bummer on my last day here. Just sharing so that no one else ends up in the same position, as i dont trust this company to update their description
The best tour ever
The best tour we have had yet! Wow wow wow! We are traveling by cruise which means we had only one day to explore The south coast, and this tour was ON POINT! We did rush a bit in our stops however we got to see A LOT in just one day! Great appreciation to BJORN and MIKA, they were a very big bounce to our trip, the best vibe and atmosphere in those two ( we loved their stories and facts ! Added a lot ) (: would recommend this trip to everyone!
Amazing experience
Glacier hiking is amazing experience. Must try if you come to Iceland.
