It was a great tour to... - It was a great tour to explore the south coast and be able to see the waterfalls and glaciers. Lots of great picturesque spots. Lily was a great tour guide and provide so much information on the tour. Unfortunately the weather changed constantly and we had a lot more rain and the boat tour was canceled (but will be refunded) due to the ice but that is no fault of this tour/company. Overall, it was a great experience.

The glacier was a highlight and worth the trip! - This was an amazing tour that took you to see a glacier! I am still in awe of what I saw. Simon was my tour guide and both he and the bus driver were great. Simon knew a lot of history and facts and was very informative and knowledgeable. Highlight was glacier lagoon and going on the boat ride. I was amazed at the size of the icebergs. There were also a lot of iceberg pieces in the water and on black diamond beach that were beautiful. We stopped for dinner in Vik, but I would recommend going to the black sand beach during that time instead because it was quiet and beautiful. The waterfall at the last stop was also pretty. It’s definitely a long day trip, but it was worth it!

Glaciar Boat ride was... - Glaciar Boat ride was fantastic and the staff was superfriendly and polite. I would have prefered "Sunny" to provide a little more historical conversation regarding Icelandic history.
The one biggest issue was not enough time during the lunch pickup and dinner stops at Vik. With number of busses stopping, there was not enough time to really enjoy the dinner.

Our tour guide, Victoria... - Our tour guide, Victoria and our driver were great. Victoria’s personality and stories were entertaining and she made the time pass more quickly! She really is a great guide and the driver made me feel very safe. The tour was a lot of fun and we got to see so much. I would have given it 4 stars but I learned that I would MUCH prefer a smaller group to a large bus tour. The bus was completely full and it just felt like too many people. The person sitting behind us had a strong odor that was really unpleasant and offensive each time he got up to get his belongings above us. Additionally, I would have preferred more choice or something more novel for the dinner stop. We stopped in a shopping center with counter service. I would have liked the freedom to choose another place to eat such as the black crust pizza place down the street. I think a smaller group gives more flexibility.
It was a long day but definitely worth it to let someone else drive and see Diamond Beach, Glacier Lagoon and get to walk behind a waterfall! Truly unique experience.
