BEST Experience from our Iceland Trip! - This excursion was absolutely the highlight of our entire trip to Iceland! Our guide, Michal, had extensive knowledge of the country and every stop we made during the day. We travelled to see two impressive waterfalls, hike on a glacier, and see a black sand beach. The weather for the glacier hike was looking questionable, but Michal made sure we were still able to hike while staying safe. If your hike is cancelled, the decision was definitely made with your best interest in mind! We had a wonderful day seeing more of Iceland and cannot thank Michal enough for sharing his knowledge and making the day so much fun! We highly recommend this tour out of Reykjavík to anyone visiting Iceland.

An unforgettable experience with Holidays Tours in Iceland! - Our tour with Holidays Tours was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our guide, Michal, was truly outstanding – friendly, knowledgeable, and so attentive to everyone in the group. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible, adapting the trip perfectly to the weather and our pace. The glacier hike was the highlight of the day – breathtaking scenery, a real sense of adventure, and Michal made us feel completely safe and confident the entire time. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had while traveling, and I can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re visiting Iceland and want an authentic, exciting, and perfectly organized adventure – don’t hesitate, book with Holidays Tours!

Perfect day trip - It was an amazing day! Our guide Michal was really good and passionate about his job and Iceland, he made us enjoy the trip a lot, while gaving all the safety instructions that were necessary. Due to his good planning skills, we got to the glaciar without raining and wind, and it was a perfect experience.

The Six Ex-girlfriends - It was awesome! We learned a lot from our guide, Smári. The trip was exhaustive and relaxing at the same time. Very informative and the sights are really unique to Iceland. Coming from Asia, our Iceland tour was a trip of a lifetime and this day tour showed us what we just previously saw online and in pictures.

Awesome scenery and experience - Michal was an amazing guide—he shared very fun and insightful facts about the natural wonders of Iceland and made sure to keep us informed about the potential weather impact on our hike. The waterfalls were stunning, and the glacier was unreal. It wasn’t a very strenuous hike, but we also got lucky with good weather. Very cool to have been able to climb up a glacier and to have experienced just how magnificent the landscape is. Made me want to try ice climbing next!

Simply Awesome!! - I can’t recommend this trip enough but it’s not for the faint-hearted!! You definitely need an element of fitness and the right walking gear - not trainers/sneakers - invest in decent walking boots and warm clothing. The trip is very well organised. Our guide, Kristopher, was amazing and had the patience of a saint with our particular group. Our walk on the glacier was almost cancelled due to strong winds but Kristopher took us to the waterfalls and black sand beach before lunch so he could assess the weather conditions in the afternoon to ensure it was safe for us to trek the glacier. Luckily the wind was less on the glacier so off we went. His attention to safety was exemplary and he took care of everyone on the trek regardless of their differing abilities. It was simply amazing. We ended our day at the waterfall which we walked behind before the long drive back to Reykavik. The whole day was totally awesome and Kristopher was the perfect host. If you want to see the South coast with a bit of adventure thrown in - don’t hesitate to book this trip!!

Once in a lifetime experience! - Our experience was surprisingly amazing and I only say that because I have never hiked in my life as well as I’m “allergic” to workouts! lol! I think the best part of our tour was our absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, charismatic tour guide Michal. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone including people who may be afraid of heights and hiking. The black sand beach was my least favorite part of this tour as the day we went the wind was extreme and almost blew me away! Thankfully Michal (tour guide) made a great decision on spending less time there and more time on the glacier hike!

Glacier Hike & South Coast Exploration - We had such a great day! From the get go, Michael was warm and welcoming and made the experience so full from start to finish. We loved the glacier hike and were very impressed the level of detail and explanation that went into keeping us safe while on the ice! Hands down would do again!
