“We actually needed to shift our tour one day due to a change in our travel plans. This tour was so accommodating and we were SO lucky Eggert & Darren were our guides the next day! Eggert was an incredible driver, the bus was clean, comfortable and a smooth ride. No matter the weather we encountered, we felt so safe.

Every single stop was worth every penny and well worth the full day of travel. No matter the…”

Long south coast bus day to Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach, plus Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Seals, ice, and waterfall mist.

On our way back, at the last attraction, a beautifully illuminated waterfall, we were lucky enough to see the aurora borealis.”

“We were picked up from the nearest bus stop in Reykjavik (tip: if you want hotel pickup instead of walking to the nearest bus stop, book a hotel that isn't in the city centre exclusion zone). The whole pickup process was seamless, no complaints there. Firstly, shout out to Paul who was our bus driver/tour guide (this company doesn't employ a seperate tour guide so the bus driver has to drive the bus, be the guide and organise everything). Paul was a warm and friendly local who knew Iceland like the back of his hand. He took us to little spots where he grew up and told us stories about…”

“I just came back from the tour an from pickup to the return to Reykjavík, everything about this tour was absolutely perfect. The pickup was right on time, and from the very beginning I felt extremely well taken care of. Jon, the driver, guide, and photographer all in one was truly outstanding. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. During the drive, he shared many fascinating stories and interesting facts about Iceland which made the journey very enjoyable.

Minibus south coast waterfalls and black sand, then a small-group Sólheimajökull glacier hike. Gear included, pickup in Reykjavík, small group.

“I couldn't ask for a better guide than Roberto. He told us a lot of interesting stories and information about Iceland and its beautiful nature. He's was so entertaining, not to mention how beautiful was the path to reach the different locations, such as the Waterfall, the stunning black beach (the best place I've seen in Iceland in my opinion), and the Glacier. He also guided us in a safe way throughout the whole trip. Really recommended, thanks so much Roberto and Team.”
