Amazing Experience!

As everyone else said was a very long day but with all the stops it didn’t seem like a 15 hour day. My only complaint was it was roasting, brutally hot in the shuttle bus the entire time and several people said the same thing. I never thought I would say I was hot in Iceland but that was a long ride to be so hot! The food wasn’t the greatest for lunch stop at a gas station but dinner was a great stop in Vik. Highly recommend this tour.

This was the best tour I had in Iceland, You get your money worth and truly get to see a lot of cool places. Tour guide was so informative and engaged with us. He really went out of his way to make sure we got a good feel of Iceland and I appreciated that. Beautiful views and scenic places a long the coast to see.
Top of all guide tours in iceland.

Simon, our tour guide went above and beyond to make our day memorable. It's a fantastic, must-do tour!!!
We first stopped at Seijalandsfoss, a beautiful waterfall that set the scene for the rest of the day. We then went to the church at Vik. It’s up a hill and it’s the meeting point for the community of Vik in case the Katla volcano erupts. The views are fantastic from this point and you can even see the Trolls from there! We also learned from Simon about the Netflix series Katla, which describes the eruption of Katla and how it affects the community. Watching the series in Iceland was a fantastic addition to our trip.
We then started with the gastronomy part of the tour. Simon took us to an old American school bus owned by a British lady that decided to serve the best coffee and hot chocolate in the area. We had the hot white chocolate with cream and marshmallows. Fantastic!
On our route to Diamond Beach we saw many stunning waterfalls. Simon was very careful to announce them before hand, so we didn’t miss any of them.
The Diamond Beach was our favorite part of the tour. It’s a black volcanic beach with beautiful pieces of ice that shine like crystal. Just that place is worth the trip. We stopped for lunch at a fish-and-chips food truck. What a treat! The best fish and chips you will ever have.
We then went to the glacier lagoon, where we saw pieces of glaciers floating and shining blue. It was like being in another planet!
And to end the trip on a high note, we stopped for dinner at the Soup Company for a Red Hot Lava Soup, a spicy meat soup served it in a black bread bowl.
Not only was it a complete experience, but the bus was super comfortable, with all amenities like strong wi-fi and charging ports for your cell. Simon is very safety conscious, an excellent driver and scheduled stops to make the long trip safe and pleasant.
We cannot recommend this tour enough. Not to be missed if you go to Iceland.
This is the trip you need to do!

I booked this last minute and had no idea what to expect. Pick up was easy; the bus was comfy and warm, and the driver / guide was one of the best things about this trip. Jacob was knowledgeable, funny, and a very good driver despite some serious weather over the mountains.
As to the things we saw, I don't have the words to explain quite how incredible it was. Sight after sight, each as or more incredible than the last. The environment changing every mile. Yes, this is a very long trip, but it is far less crowded and our driver Jakob was amazing. A real modern skald, keeping alive the trading of story telling and entertaining us between stops. There were plenty of stops, lots of time at each location.
Just book it.

Seeing the icebergs float up on the black sand beach was great. Houser and Patik were great. Felt safe in snowy weather on the road. Everything was explained to us during our tour. We new exactly when we were stopping and starting. Very educational and fun..."the taxi girls "Ann Marie and Christina

Glacier Lagoon- short and sweet

It was such a long ride to the glacier with only a brief time to spend there to take in the scenery and snap photos. But it was enough time spent also accounting for the weather changing every few minutes. We got enough stops for restroom and meal breaks to cut into the long journey. Our guide Mr. Howser was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained while also allowing periods of silence for tourists to sleep and or admire the views. Our driver Tomik did a great job with his safe driving. Good times. Thumbs up. I did wish that we had more time to bundle up this tour with another itinerary however the ever changing weather conditions kept us also changing plans.

The glacier lagoon was spectacular. It is a very long drive but the view is totally worth it. We got stuck in a storm on the way back and had to be helped by search and rescue who where amazing. Our tour guide Siggy was so calm throughout and really made everyone feel safe and secure despite the uncertainty. We where taken to a local hotel and helped by The Red Cross who provided blankets whilst we waited for the weather to clear so it was safe to drive back to Reykjavik. Please pass on our thanks to Siggy for his help and calm manner during the storm he was amazing in very difficult circumstances.

The most amazing tour we have ever been on. Our guide Omar made it so enjoyable, so many great stories about Iceland and he really made us feel welcome - even bought everyone on the bus some chocolates :) The tour itself is great, we stopped at Vik on the way and saw some amazing views - we were also lucky enough to see the northern lights on our way back home and Omar took all of our pictures! If you an considering doing this tour just book it you will not regret it! Thank you so much Omar !!! :)

Great day trip to Glacier Lagoon. Our guide was Omar. Very considerate man, helped anyone asking questions about camera use! At the end of the tour heading back to the city, Omar pulled off the highway on to a side road where we were able to watch the Northern Lights!!! Everyone was thrilled. Our tour was 15 hours long, due to the extra stop for the lights, but it did not feel that long because of the many stops along the way. Highly recommend.
Great day trip

Our trip to the Glacier Lagoon has been amazing despite difficult weather. In the end it was worth it. Our tour guide - Siggi Anton was super funny, knowledgeable, very patient and careful with us, great driver despite bad weather conditions and had an adventurer personality. All of this made the drive there pleasant - with many lovely stops and spots to see. Would definitely recommend this tour!
