Stunning tour! - Such a great tour, so worth it! Big thanks to Zack our tour guide who had lots of knowledge and took us to a few extra stops than what was listed! That really made our trip special. Great views and stops all day long. Definitely get wet at the waterfall.

What a great tour - Our guide, Allen, was great! He gave us a lot of information on the drive to each stop and gave us plenty of time to take in the sights. The beach and glacier were both breathtaking! The waterfalls were incredible also.

Good tour but different itinerary to described. Some parts felt rushed. You need to be fit and a fast walker to see all - Although the tour is advertised as 10 hours we were the last drop off and back in Reykjavík by 5:30 pm (pick up was 8:15am). Petar was our driver and was knowledgeable but not hugely chatty. There were 5 stops on the tour and for 3 of them, we felt rushed. First waterfall you had the opportunity to climb up a lot of stairs to a viewing platform which took at least 15 minutes. Time spent on the black beach was fine. We had lunch in Vik, then headed to the glacier. It was a 20 minute walk to the viewing platform so literally there and back and straight back on the bus. The last stop was Seljalandsfoss which was the most rushed of all. we followed the path behind the waterfall over slippery rocks, looped back and then straight on the bus back to Reykjavik. An extra 5 or 10 minutes would have made so much difference to appreciate the sights, and grab a drink and toilet break without constantly feeling rushed.
You do need a reasonable level of fitness for this tour and to walk fast enough to see everything. Did over 15,000 steps. Comfortable small minibus was preferable over a large coach tour.

Lots of hours on the road to see very little - A lot of hours to see very little. The worst of my 6 tours on this trip. The weather did not help as it was grey and rainy and our guide Pieter was very dour so did not add anything lifting. Despite the fact that we were a small group of only 8, he made no effort to engage with any of us or to lighten the mood. He spewed loads of history, dates and facts, but failed to bond with us.
Considering that I had experienced such fabulous guides all week, this was a serious let down to end the week.

RUN! Bus Travel is a SCAMMER n ROBBER - Opt for Bus Travel if you're seeking to be deceived and encounter the most unpleasant experience in Iceland.
I made a reservation for Bus Travel's 2-day South Coast Tour on February 24, scheduled for February 26-27. Additionally, I paid an additional $310 for the optional blue ice cave tour with a Super Jeep. However, on the night of February 25, just a day before the tour, the company notified me that, "due to unforeseen operational circumstances, the tour had to be outsourced to Troll.is." With no alternatives such as a refund available, Bus Travel compelled me to participate in a tour I had no intention of joining.
Initially, Bus Travel assured me that it would be the same tour. I even sent an email to double-check if the blue ice cave tour with the Super Jeep, for which I had paid extra, was included. The company confirmed its inclusion. However, Bus Travel did not respond until the second day of the tour, revealing that it was a deceitful and false claim. Ultimately, the Troll tour did not feature a Super Jeep or a blue ice cave. Instead, it involved a three-hour glacier hike to a small black ice cave, akin in size to a tiny bathroom. This was undeniably a scam orchestrated by Bus Travel.
Due to my mother's physical condition, I opted out of the glacier hike and did not sign up for the Troll tour, choosing instead to stick with the Bus Travel arrangement and pay for the Super Jeep. Despite Bus Travel's assurance that it would be the same tour I had paid for, it turned out to be entirely different. The glacier hike was unsuitable considering our physical concerns, yet the company forced us to partake in it.
Furthermore, Bus Travel engaged in fraudulent advertising practices by denying that I had not received the promised blue ice cave tour. Subsequently, I discovered through various social media platforms that Nice Travel, operating the 2-day South Coast tour on the same day, indeed took customers to the blue ice cave in a Super Jeep. In contrast, Bus Travel falsely claimed that they would not bring customers to the ice cave as advertised.
Despite my persistent attempts to communicate with them and await their response, Bus Travel chose to disregard their errors and fraudulent activities, persisting in deceiving more tourists into booking their tours.
