Amazing Day Tour! Must Do! - My two grown daughters and I went and we had a fabulous time. Bjorn was our tour guide and driver and he made the trip extra great! He shared history, current political makeup, governmental policies, heating and water practices in Iceland, society norms, education options, landscape variances and what is behind them, local legends, recommended restaurants, music venues, and sites all with humor and transparency. He didn’t talk all the time, plenty of quiet music times for rest, but answered any question asked. The Mercedes mini bus for 19 was top-notch with each seat having usb chargers, cup holder or tray, speakers, air vents, reclining capabilities, and pockets for storage as well as cell phone holder. Bjorn planned each stop to avoid crowds, and planned the 2 wet waterfalls for last so we were not wet for the other sites. We even had an unexpected 50 mins at the glacier and if wanted could go down to touch it. It was fabulous. We choose to go through a stream with a few rocks to get right next to one waterfall and went behind the other. Both were easy to do but when coming out from behind the waterfall we did get drenched. A good laugh though. Water resistant items dried quickly and other gear overnight. Saw lots of beautiful Icelandic horses, some with English style riders. There was high wind and harsh sleet/hail at the black sand beach so after lunch made it a shorter stay and wanted back in the warm bus. Plenty of bathrooms even at the most of the sites. East west is great. Answers chats and great communication. Scheduled an added tour it was so good! Btw, winter roads were hard to drive so glad we didn’t rent car. Snow covered signs often.

Mackems on South Coast Tour of Iceland - We had a brilliant day visiting the south coast of Iceland. Our guide was friendly, informative, helpful and we listened to some great music which helped set the scene to this beautiful land. All in all we could not fault our venture to the south coast. Thank you to our guide for his professionalism and in keeping us safe from the trolls and elves!

Incredible tour & nature - This tour was AMAZING! I was traveling alone and booked this tour along with the Golden Circle tour with them. I was lucky enough to have Einar as my guide for both tours—he was fantastic! Funny, knowledgeable, a foodie with great restaurant tips, and easy to talk to. The South Coast was incredibly beautiful and brought me so much joy. I 100% recommend this tour!

We had so much fun on our South Coast tour! - We had so much fun on our South Coast tour! It was rescheduled because of the weather so we were very happy to get to go! Leroy was our guide and he was amazing! We loved hearing about his journey on how he ended up living in Iceland and he taught us all kinds of interesting things about Iceland. The weather was still wild but we were able to see everything! Our favorite stops were the black sand beach and the waterfalls. We were able to see a rainbow! We were definitely glad to not be the ones driving, I highly recommend a tour if you want to see the South Coast in the winter, but don't want to rent a car.

Amazing adventure of the beautiful south coast - The south coast trip was great. It hit all the highlights of the amazing south coast and was fun and informative. Our guide David made it fun and safe. He was very safety conscious and kept everyone from harms way (this tour has some spots that are very slippery and can be dangerous if you don’t listen to your guide!) He expertly drove us through a complete white out snow storm and still made it fun and exciting. (We passed multiple tourist car accidents yet he handled the roads like a champ) the glacier, the black beach, Vik, the waterfalls… it was breathtaking. Take a usb A to whatever size cord, the van has wifi. Dress appropriately and traction cleats are highly recommended. The trip was great. Completely recommend

Good tour with lots to do - The original trip got cancelled due to bad weather. We were able to make it out the next day, despite the snow. The waterfalls were breathtaking and the glacier, what we could see through the fog and clouds, was beautiful. Definitely a stunner in the summer, and not bad for a winter trip.

Einar is the best - Wonderful, Einar was a brilliant tour operator and kept us entertained the entire time. It would be 5 stars with the same tour guy but a different tour, the sites were a little dull and maybe we should’ve chosen something else. Einar is the best

Black Sand Beach and Waterfalls - Tour Guide was great. Details said we could walk on the glacier. We couldn’t we didn’t have time. Package said this is part one of a 2 part northern lights tour later on in the evening it didn’t happen. The spots were amazing. Thor our guide was awesome.
