    My wife and I just returned from an overseas trip and did the long layover in Iceland. We took the South Coast Small Group Tour and we had Joseph/Joe as our leader. He did such a great job of providing information and details about the various stops we went too as well as just information in general on other areas of Iceland. His mix of providing information and teaching us about Iceland and his humor made this trip so much fun. I would ask for Joseph again! Thanks again Joseph. Read more

    I\'m not a tour guy but that was amazing. The nature is breathtaking there. Loved every piece of it. We also got two guides instead of one. Vik the Viking was amazing and funny guide with awesome songs to cheer you up along the way. Bob didn\'t talk much but I\'m sure he\'ll be ready for your tour. Miami Vice is the best driver in the Iceland so not much more to say about that. Would suggest to skip tours with guide Tom.. no just joking he will be great too! Read more

    We took the tour on Good Friday. Lucas the driver and David (think his name was) were both excellent. We stopped at one place, still a bit too light but gave us chance to get our cameras ready and start adjusting our eyes. We then continued to another location not far away where they have a little house, which we could keep warm. They also had toilets and unlimited hot chocolate available which were very appreciated. About 10/15 minutes of arriving we had literally just got our hot chocolate and the guide from the other bus shouted the northern lights are coming through, we all rushed out. We were given about 45 minutes to take pictures etc…. During this time we still had access to the indoor facilities. Brilliant night, lots of information from David along the way to the 2 locations.
