Grateful for the experience

Being physically active seniors in our seventies we were pushing the upper age range for the glacier hike. Our joyful guide Beth made the hike fun, safe, and interesting. John the other guide who drove us around the South Coast was very accommodating. The trip was an experience of a lifetime and we were grateful for having this opportunity.

Id recommend this tour to anyone!!

We were in the wrong location for pick up but Þorkell (we think!!!) called and ensured we met him just around the corner. The van was very comfortable, he offered information as we drove through the south coast. We were spoiled with beautiful weather. we completed our glacier hike with Jerkoff who was exceptional - truly. I recommend this tour. We loved the Golden Circle but the South Coast became our favorite after this experience!

Amazing glacier tour and a fantastic guide

Overall, the experience was really very nice. Anna, the guide for the glacier excursion, was fantastic and very friendly. The bus driver was very skilled at driving and handling the road, although he sometimes seemed a bit less friendly in his interactions with people.
