Access to places outside of Reykjavík - Absolutely worth booking. Pick up was smooth and the trip in general was amazing. I couldn’t rent a car so this allowed me to see some amazing things outside of Reykjavík.My guide (Albert) was humorous , kind, and informative.

Wonderful south coast tour. - I had a wonderful time and the tour guide was very pleasant, helpful, and I enjoyed the stories about Iceland. Unfortunately another trip I booked was cancelled due to bad weather and this was the only space. I was not disappointed with the choice to go.

Well worth it - What an amazing day out. Saw, experienced and learned so much. Daggi our guide was incredibly knowledgeable on all things Icelandic; the geology, farming, the glaciers, rivers and volcanos. He also added in some personal stories which were really interesting.

South coast trip - The trip was really exciting and we saw a lot of exciting places. The only thing which we could complain is that the time for seeing the places was a little short.

Didn’t get on tour - The bus left before we arrive at the pickup, so didn’t get on the tour. Tried to call RE but only got automated system that told you to send an email.☹️. If you book a tour and get a confirmation, don’t look at the start time, but look at the pickup time, which is normally 30 mins before start
