Very good choice for the price. Weather was perfect, the views magnificent. Our local guide (I'm sorry I don't remember the name 🙄) was very funny and informative. The trip was well planned, we also had additional stops on the way to take pictures. The driver was excellent too, very safe travel.

We had so much fun and viewed some of Iceland’s most majestic waterfalls, glaciers, countryside, black beaches and small towns. Our guide Anna was wonderful and shared lots of interesting facts and stories with us. There was plenty of time to see all the attractions or grab a snack/souvenir. The bus ride was comfortable and smooth. Perfect for people who don’t want to hire a vehicle (not sure why you would as this was perfect)

David our guide and his driver (i can't remember his name) were very friendly. We had an amazing day visiting the highlights of the south of Iceland. Our day was stuffed with fun stops, and the nature was so beautiful. Throughout the drive we got a thorough explanation about the things we saw and experienced. Also the driver had a very comfortable driving style!
