South Coast and Diamond Beach-all in one day from Reykjavik! - It’s a long day but so worth it! We had only a few days in Iceland and Alex made sure we got to see everything we wanted to. Alex is great- knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about him.

Our guild Dmitry for South Island, diamond beach … - Our guild Dmitry was fantastic, We had an outstanding experience with him. He is great and attentive and able to propose alternative when weather changes. The pacing of the tour was well-balanced, with enough time for photos, questions, and rest. What stood out most was the guide’s attentiveness — they checked in with everyone regularly, ensured the group stayed comfortable, and even offered personal recommendations for food and activities after the tour. Overall, they went above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

Personalized, Comfortable & Truly Memorable Tour - Had the best experience with our private tour guide Aleks for the South Coast & Glacier Lagoon! He was not only knowledgeable but also thoughtful – making stops for photos, sharing stories, and even treating us with lobster soup along the way. The whole trip felt relaxed yet full of highlights, from waterfalls to the stunning Glacier Lagoon. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to explore Iceland without rushing and with someone who truly cares.

Thank You Jakob: Not just a tour, memories for a lifetime - Our trip to Iceland was made special with a wonderful experience provided by a private tour we decided to book to the South Coast and Diamond Beach. Our tour guide, Jakob picked us up at our hotel in Reykjavik at 8 a.m. and dropped us off at midnight. Although it was a long day, Jakob made the day feel so memorable and special. Jakob made this more than just a tour;he made it a customized journey to our every need. Jakob's personal touches, warmth and attentiveness catered to our every need. He made us feel like we were his lifelong friends. He provided outstanding service tailoring our interests with major attractions and special stops for coffee, food, and restroom breaks, ensuring we always felt comfortable and cared for throughout the journey. Jakob's knowledge of the landscape and history was a nice touch. He demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile that made this tour a 7-star experience above and beyond any five stars out there. We had such genuine and sincere conversations truly feeling a sense of family and connection with him that is rare to find. If you are looking for a personalized, custom tour that will leave you with cherished memories, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and most importantly would highly recommend requesting Jakob. Thanks again Jakob for making our trip memorable and special.

From glittering icebergs to adorable puffins, this South Coast tour was pure magic! - Took the South Coast tour with our amazing guide Alex and it was an incredible day from start to finish. Our guide and driver, Alex, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and enjoyable. Highlights were the magical Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, sparkling Diamond Beach, Vik and the puffins at Dyrhólaey. A comfortable ride through stunning scenery all day. Highly recommend!

Kiril - France! 3rd tour with Alexander - Alexander Iceland Review It’s always a pleasure when we’re treated not just as customers who paid for a service, but as guests whom someone genuinely wants to make feel cared for and comfortable. That’s exactly the kind of attitude we experienced from Alexander. For him, it’s not only important to provide high-quality service—it genuinely brings him joy to delight his guests, and he does his job with visible enthusiasm. Moreover, his tour offer includes the pleasant extra opportunity to purchase memorable souvenirs and order Icelandic delicacies at a fair price. Alexander stayed in contact with us not only while planning our two-day tour but also offered interesting activity options for the rest of our family stay in Iceland, and arranged our transfer from the airport. During the trip, he adjusted our route according to the weather conditions, and we were able to plan a boat ride in the Diamond Beach bay. When my younger brother asked to see a geyser he had heard about during the trip—a stop that wasn’t originally planned—Alexander didn’t object. He simply added several dozen kilometers to the route, and my brother was absolutely thrilled! The warm aftertaste of our trip through southern Iceland with Alexander not only made us hold on for a few extra seconds in a firm handshake when parting ways, but also inspired us to write this review five days after the tour, when we finally had a few minutes free after returning home, no longer fully immersed in the vivid festive impressions from visiting the beautiful and welcoming Iceland!
