Great trip for first time to Iceland.

Annlouise_W, Feb 2024

Antonio was a great driver with plenty of knowledge to share, in a fun way. The places we visited are amazing. We did have some boulders rolling down at the glacier, but we managed to avoid them. You can't go behind the water falls in winter..understandable, but we'll just have to come back.

Anton was entertaining and very informative!! Highly recommend!!

Lynn_P, Jan 2024

Anton was an excellent guide with lots of funny anecdotes and interesting facts about Iceland which made the journey easy and entertaining! We managed to hit most of the destinations before the big buses which made seeing the sights much more enjoyable! Being a small group made it much slicker, Anton also provided crampons for us to use which was a nice touch and much needed - we saw lots of people slipping without them. The Glacier for me was the stand out must see but everything was just beautiful and I would highly recommend!

We had a brilliant day on...

Debbie_G, Jan 2024

We had a brilliant day on this trip. Our guide/driver Anton was great and very knowledgeable. Plenty of time at stops and for lunch - highly recommend!

Great Experience, Highly Recommend

Jess_A, Dec 2023

This tour was excellent. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating of our needs. This tour was worth every penny and better than the typical larger touring company.

Awesome tour!

Deborah_A, Nov 2023

The scenery and waterfalls were amazing. Loved, loved, loved our tour guide. We would definitely recommend.

South coast minibus tour

Lisa_P, Nov 2023

The whole tour was great, the Glacier was a real ‘wow’ but there were so many amazing sights to see! Thomas our driver and guide was brilliant and gave us so much information throughout the day, plus he planned which sights to see when, according to the weather etc. Being in a minibus was also a plus point and as a small group, we all got along well and enjoyed the experience together. A brilliant day!

Wonderful day on the South Coast!

Joanne_W, Nov 2023

Antonin(?) our tour guide was wonderful. We couldn’t go to one of the places on the tour because of the weather so he allowed extra time at others. We say a lot of waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers.

Excellent tour, excellent guide!

Jessica_K, Nov 2023

This was basically a personalized tour; it was great to have such personal attention! I'm glad I chose this one!

Perfect day trip/tour in Iceland

Nicholette_I, Mar 2023

Found this tour relatively soon as an alternative plan for the day fell through. This tour was 10000x more enjoyable than others. To begin, the sprinter van was so much more comfortable than the other "minibus" of other tour companies which are so uncomfortable & offer no leg room or recline - this tour bus had both. Anton gave us more history and fun facts of Iceland than any other guide and it is so clear he loves his job and Iceland. We never felt rushed at any stop and there were multiple stops for coffee/restrooms throughout the journey. Again, everything was great but Anton was the best part. Great jokes on top of everything. I caught the "Iceland virus" and plan to utilize tours with back to Iceland. Thanks again for such a memorable day!

Small group tour was perfect!

Lori_K, Mar 2023

The small ground tour around Southern Iceland including our 4 people and one other couple. I was like a private tour. Chris, our guide, was wonderful! He took very good care of us and stopped for bathroom stops, food. He asked if we wanted to see another waterfall and it turned out to be the most beautiful one we saw on our trip. He had many stories to tell on the ride too. We would recommend this tour.

Best Day

Donna_N, Feb 2023

South coast

ThomasMark_P, Feb 2023

Superb trip and Anton the driver/guide/owner is superb and very knowledgeable. We visited lots of attractions and places of interest.

Great tour, excellent guide

Nigel_C, Feb 2023

Very good guide, very knowledgeable, Picked you up at stated times and good communication before hand. Vehicle was very warm and clean, the guide couldn't do enough to make the trip fun. Would highly recommend this trip to anybody thinking of a tour. Well worth the 5 stars!

Great South Coast Day Trip

Chad_R, Feb 2023

From start to finish this day trip was exceptional. My wife and I travel alot and this day trip was full of great activities. Our driver was great and full of knowledge. He allowed us to call the shots on the trip as it how long we wanted at each activity, when we wanted to stop for breaks and extra time at lunch. I would highly recommend this travel co and this day trip.

Our best tour in Iceland

John_B, Feb 2023

We enjoyed it all. Waterfalls, black sand beach, glacier. Great intersesting guide Anton who did not rush anyone on the tour. He was a lot of fun.

A fabulous day - whatever the weather!

Matthew_J, Feb 2023

If you find yourself reading reviews trying to find the best your company to book your Iceland trips with look no further! The weather can be very unpredictable in Iceland causing plans to change suddenly. We had booked the South Coast tour and Golden Circle tour via Back to Iceland tour company. Thankfully Back to Iceland were very accommodating and changed our tours around to different days so that we were still able to do both. We had tour guide Antanas for both trips. A great guide - funny, informative, flexible with time if able. There was the odd snowy blizzard (with very poor visibility on the roads!) during our trips and we always felt safe thanks to Antanas’ experienced driving. He was also prepared with crampons and ponchos should they be required. The tour itself is quite long approx 9 hours but we enjoyed every minute! Thank you 😊

Informative Tour

Natalie_B, Feb 2023

The tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. I learnt the most on this tour compared to others I had in Iceland during my stay.

Amazing experience - breathtaking places

Ariela_D, Jan 2023

Anton was a great guide. He gave us a lot of information about the places that we were visiting and Iceland in general. We were the only people in the group and he gave us a private tour without extra charge The places that we visited are breathtaking and probably the best things to see in Iceland

Excellent trip at Winter south coast day tour with Anton

flc754, Jan 2023

Excellent experience with Anton who was very nice and knowledgeable. He brought crampons for us to use and be safe. He was funny. It was a small group and that gave us more time to ask questions and explore the different places he was showing us ( so many and so hard to pronounce that I couldn’t remember the names but awesome places). Highly recommended.
