    Fabulous trip. I originally was meant to do this tour on Wednesday the 23rd of November but due to extreme weather we had to call it off after the first stop but thats just Iceland weather for you! Our guides name was Joseph and he was very nice and made the day as eventful as possible regardless of the circumstances. I then got to reschedule at no extra cost for the 25th November with a guide called Geri who was also very nice. The weather was much better, it was even sunny! And the whole day turned out great and eventful

    The south of Iceland tour was spectacular, despite some rainy and very windy weather. The sights - two waterfalls, black sand beach, glacier - were amazing and well worth the trip. The bus was comfortable with Wi-Fi, and the tour guide and bus driver were very professional. There was adequate time to enjoy the sights, and the restaurant where we stopped for lunch was nice, too.

    Amazing, despite the intermittent rain. The waterfalls were wonderful. Loved seeing the end of the glacier, the basalt columns, the raw Atlantic ocean. Most of all the black sands - it was like being on another planet! Our guide Monica was very informative about the sights we saw and about life in Iceland. I really enjoyed the selection of Icelandic music she shared with us. Well worth booking this trip. Thank you
