Had a wonderful south coast tour
We had a fantastic day on the Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón) & South Iceland tour with BusTravel Iceland. The landscapes were stunning, and the long trip was very well organized. Special thanks to our guide Vjeran, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave clear instructions throughout the day, and to our driver Artur for his safe and smooth driving on such a long route. My husband and I really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend this tour!

A long day, but well worth the early morning pickup and bus ride
Extremely knowledgeable tour guide (aka Sharp), highlighting key facts, historical background, and photo opportunities. Obviously the highlight was the glacier lagoon, but what a surprise to eat the best fish and chips (no condiments required) from a food truck there!
