Our guide Almar made this incredibly scenic tour a warm, fun and engaging day. The list of stops listed here may seem unimpressive but it is in reality more than generous – many smaller stops and photo occasions encountered along the way aren’t accounted for and the landscapes driven through are breathtaking even on a cloudy and/or rainy day. Perhaps even moreso!

Super South coast

Olivia_B, Nov 2022

Such a good day! Our tour guide (I think his name was Hillar) was wonderful! He was engaging with great stories and anecdotes. Even though it was a bit cold and murky the bus was warm and comfortable and the sights were so beautiful!

Great trip to the south coast

Sean_H, Nov 2022

Trip was great, explored all of the main areas of the south coast, even if the weather against us. Tour guide was very chatty and friendly. Made the trip very enjoyable. Plenty of stops for food, drinks and toilets. Would recommend people to go on this. However our minibus did not have Wi-Fi or chargers so be prepared in case.

Great scenery, great guide

peter_d, Nov 2022

First, what an amazing place Iceland is. And Reykjavik, which seems to get no love from most commenters, was surprisingly quaint and fun (at least in the harbor area where we stayed). More to the point, my two adult daughters and I went on this tour with pretty high expectations, and still managed to be absolutely blown away by the scenery and our tour guide, Devin. As for the scenery, the best way to explain it is that we found ourselves on multiple occasions looking at vistas that seemed almost digitally-created or enhanced. Like living a Game of Thrones episode, uniformly harsh but beautiful. Waterfalls, glaciers, gorgeous beaches with huge waves, stunning rock formations. And tour guide Devin masterfully orchestrated this long day with pacing that was perfect (meaning length of stops, breaks, etc). He's an Arizonan that recently emigrated to Iceland, and has clearly fallen in love with the place. We appreciated his objective, outsider's view on all things Iceland, and his grasp of the history, the terrain, the general science, the culture, was incredibly comprehensive. Just a good, friendly, comfortable guy to spend a day with. We went on other tours while there, with guides that were effectively bus-drivers. We will do Iceland again, and we will do everything in our power to get Devin and EastWest Tours (I think I have that right), when we do so. Thanks Devin.

Magical

Jamie_A, Oct 2022

A good time!

Lililani_K, Oct 2022

Petra was our guide, she told so many stories and was very communicative! She always had our safety in mind. Would do this tour again!

Great value with lots of stops

Tia_J, Sep 2022

Great experience. Good value for full day trip. Walk as much or as little as you want. Careful with on and off the bus. Great guide who led us to icebergs, behind waterfalls, and allowed time to explore and take a million pictures. Really a great time.

South coast beauties

Elvira_T, Aug 2022

The water falls and black beach were awesome and got a chance to see the puffins. Nicely pace trip. Glacier was tremendous but sadly to say our planet is getting old and human progress has a big factor too. Are we ready to go back to the 60s and limit the …..?

Feedback

Aina_D, Jul 2022

Spectacular nature and a knowledgeable Guide who shared information about history, geology, fauna and biology of Iceland. A great day in a wonderful scenic landscape

Petra was a great guide!

Lester_S, Jul 2022

The first waterfall (name?), the black sand beach, and the town of Vik were our highlights! Petra was a great host.

Great experience!

Cheryl_B, Mar 2022

Awesome day! The storms blew on and off all day, but we were still able to do everything! Our guide Toti was terrific. The beauty is overwhelming!

Brilliant guide

Charlotte_C, Nov 2021

Brilliant tour, really packed full of amazing sights. The drive to the first stop was quite long but the guide was so engaging and interesting, telling us all sorts of stories that the drive was made really fun. Brilliant guide who really made the experience

Best tour in Reykjavik!

Saundra_Q, Nov 2021

This tour was amazing. Outside of the beauties you'll get to see - Anna, our tour guide and driver was great! The smaller group size was also a plus as our other tour was on a large bus and felt totally impersonal (especially when we had to wait 30min for two guests who were late to return) I would highly recommend!

Made the best memories

Harini_S, Oct 2021

Hawk was our tour guide. He shared interesting stories about the places we visited, all along the way and have each one of us individual attention. Small group, fantastic tour guide and a lifetime experience.

Highly recommend!

Christie_S, Sep 2021

Fenar was awesome. He is such an interesting guy and was very informative. Even played music from Icelandic bands. The sights were amazing. The black beach was beautiful and a wonderful place to stop for lunch. The waterfalls were amazing as well as the glacier. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company.

Funny guide, great spots

Eszter_B, Jul 2021

We had a very funny guide (called Wallie by the Americans :))). He told us lots of interesting things about Iceland through the trip, showed us some special (unplanned) spots as well. We recommend it with kids as well!

Highly recommended trip 5*

Stevejb4u, Feb 2020

Booked this trip with viator.com because it had a trip to a glacier where as other websites didn't It was worth it & we were blessed with a winter wonderland too & dramatic skies too Black beach is so surreal the waterfalls are huge with snacks available to buy if peckish. I spent my time on locations but did buy a delicious hotdog at one waterfall yum Definitely recommend this tour if in iceland
