    Tom made this tour one of our highlights to our trip in Iceland.His humour and wonderful storytelling kept everyone laughing and well informed. Nothing was rushed- our visit to the farm was a great stop - sipping tea and eating traditional cake while seeing the farm animals and chatting with the owners.Equally our stop at the waterfall left us with time for photos and viewing the beautiful surrounds. Back onto the bus for more Icelandic education and banter! Don’t miss it! Thank you Tom! Read more

    My son and I spent an amazing day exploring Iceland. Steinunn was a wonderful guide with many interesting stories and knowledge of the history and culture. Robert was an excellent driver and kept us safe. Walking behind a waterfall was the highlight of the day! The black sand beaches were gorgeous and we had a beautiful day with blue skies. I would highly recommend spending a day exploring Iceland on this tour! Thanks again! Read more

    Thank you so much for the wonderful day! My mom and I did the Southern Iceland Full Day Tour, Black Sand Beaches & More. Our tour guide, Steinunn, was phenomenal. She was very kind and knowledgeable about all of the places we had the pleasure of stopping at. She also provided great recommendations as to what to do at each stop to fully enjoy our time, offered to take photos for us, had many fun/history facts for the many beautiful destinations and locations between, several great stories told from a local perspective, and played great music also related to Iceland. She was a pleasure! Our driver Robert was a great driver and we felt safe the whole time. The views on this tour are second to none, I highly recommend doing this tour if you get the chance while visiting Iceland! Thank you again. Read more

    Highly recommend! Our guide was Victoria she is beyond awesome! We are still talking about her wonderful personality and the entertaining way she delivers the tour information! Her brother Glacier (not real name) was very entertaining also during our farm visit. The sheep and other animals were just an added bonus to Victoria’s way of entertaining our tour. Can’t stress enough to try to meet her and hopefully get Victoria as your guide. Read more
