Take this Tour! 1 Amazing Day! - This Tour was Great! I thought 14 hours would be too long but took the chance and found it was very pleasant. We got to see everything we hoped to see and Daniel our Tour Guide was amazing! Not only was he very informative but he was a professional photographer and captured photos of us that made this whole trip worth it. This trip could not have been more perfect. We are looking forward to returning.

Amazing south coast trip - I normally don’t write reviews but I thought it would be unfair not to appreciate the way our super informative fun guide Ritchie Rich and driver Paco managed the whole day. The bus was comfortable, guide was thinking on the go and making some great decisions and Paco was such a safe driver to go with. I was sitting in the front row and never felt dizzy for a sec. Overall day well spent.

Great experience and visits to dream places. Wonderful excursion! - Even if it seems too long an excursion, the experience is totally worth it. The bus picks you up on time always close to your location, the very prudent driver and the guide Sara very friendly and entertaining, always attentive and trying to make you know all the history during the journey. Thank you Sara for your professionalism!
The places you visit are all spectacular, with the crown jewel in the Glacier lagoon that is spectacular and just seeing that jewel of nature is worth the trip. I recommend other customers to do so. The only thing I would improve and propose from this experience is that they should put on the bus in the USB seats or to charge mobile phones or electrical devices. With so many hours of travel and the number of photos you take, it would be appreciated to be able to charge the battery. In these times that is essential and it does not cost much to install that. Customers will value it much more!

Amazing Day with Ritchie & Eugen! - Ritchie was one of the most entertaining and thoughtful guides I’ve ever met — super funny, full of energy, and really cared about everyone in the group. He made the day not just informative but also a lot of fun!
Our driver Eugen was also excellent — smooth, safe driving all the way.
Highly recommend this tour if you want a great experience in Iceland with awesome people!

Beautiful Waterfall and Lagoon, could have done without restraunt for lunch. - The glacier lagoon and waterfalls were amazing! However due to wind direction there was not many “diamonds” on diamond beach. In Vik you had time to sit and eat or grab something at the market and visit black sand beach which was nice. The only thing I didn’t like was stopping at a restaurant for lunch I wish we would have just had extra time and ate at the lagoon.

Misleading trip title that lacks key information - The information of the trip on the website is insufficient. It lack a statement for this tour that does not include a boat ride that is the key in seeing the glacier park. Why would someone take 14 hrs travel without this experience? This lack of key information created confusion and awkward situation between us and the tour guide. Additionally, the tour guide showed minimal effort in explaining the site as well as showing the customers where to go. Fortunately the great scenery somewhat offset these shortcomings for us. But I would not say this is a great tour versus other excursions I have experienced with TripAdvisor.

Hire a Professional Guide - The scenery was incredibly beautiful and spectacular!! And the waterfall stops along the way were magnificent! I highly recommend taking the boat ride through the other worldly glaciers in the lagoon. However, you must hire and train a guide who can communicate better!! None of us could fully understand what our guide was telling us. It wasn’t the sound equipment, that was fine. He was very nice but took long pauses within sentences, apparently searching for the correct words. I’ve taken so many tours with Viator over the years but this substandard commentary made us angry! This is an expensive tour but I suggest going with a different company that hires professional guides! I’d really like to know more about this once in a lifetime experience!
