Best Vacation and Tour Hands Down - This was a wonderful experience. We had a small group and our tour guide, Roberto, was very affable and knowledgeable. We definitely felt safe hiking up the glacier and he was patient with some of our slower hikers. He also gave great recommendations for food in Reykjavik. I would definitely take this tour again!

Best Guide and Best Experience - The entire experience was one to remember. Our guide Roberto was the best we could have asked for. He was very funny and professional and he went above and beyond and took us to an extra waterfall AND a puffin watching location!! This was the best tour out of all the tours our family had done in Iceland. The glacier hike was my favourite and absolutely astonishing. We will be booking with this company again. Thanks again Roberto!

Amazing experience!! - Mike was an excellent guide. He explained everything well and with a great sense of humor. He was patient and gave us enough time to explore and enjoy each attraction. The hike in the glacier was especially memorable. I’d highly recommend Mike at Holiday Tours.

South Coast & Glacial Hike - Wonderful day starting the tour with a glacial hike followed by Black beach and visit to waterfalls. The day was relaxed and our guide Michal ensured we all had enough time to fully explore and enjoy the various places we visited. The highlight was the Glacial hike and Michal made sure we had plenty of time to make the most of it. Lots of small comfort and food stops. Would def recommend. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic Tour of the Beautiful South Coast - Our tour with Michal was fantastic! We visited Iceland to celebrate my niece’s Sweet 16 — my second trip there and her first. Michal's knowledge of the beautiful south coast and its stunning and unique natural landscapes was quite impressive. He also excelled as our glacier hiking guide, ensuring everyone's comfort and safety. When my gloves got wet from the waterfalls, he even lent me his. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Iceland, especially adventure seekers!

Amazing tour of the south coast! - This trip is great for people who have limited time in Iceland and want to experience multiple things in one trip. But, prepare to feel a little rushed. The highlight of this trip is the Glacier Hike, which takes 2-3 hours. The other three stops (2 waterfalls and black beach) get rushed due to time. So you DO get to see it all and experience enough of it to feel good about it, but you also leave wishing you had just a little more time at these amazing spots. If you had the time, I'd recommend doing a stand alone glacier hike/tour and a separate tour that includes the other sites. We did not have the time though, so this was a great way to see it all. Obviously the more stuff/stops you add to a tour, the more rushed you will get at each stop.
