Private South Coast with Diamond Beach - Alexander was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! It was a long day visiting the south coast with Diamond Beach, but his flexibility made our experience stress-free and enjoyable—he tailored the itinerary so we could see all the best spots without feeling rushed. He went above and beyond by recommending great places to eat Alexander also took the time to explain the history and significance of each location we visited, making the experience both fun and educational. On top of that, he captured amazing photos of our group throughout the day, which we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and adaptable guide who truly cares about creating a memorable experience, Alexander is the one to book! Diana

It's a private tour up to... - It's a private tour up to seven people. Very comfortable and informative. Alex was our tour guide and he was great. Suggested places to eat and took pictures of us at each site. He told us where to stand to see the best view of each stop. Would suggest places to eat and went a bit out of the way to show us the church on the hill in Vik. Loved the whole day especially diamond beach.

Absolutely Amazing - Highlight of our trip - Our day with Alex was hands down the highlight of our entire Iceland trip! This private South Coast tour is truly the best way to see all of the region’s incredible highlights in just one day. Alex was absolutely amazing — friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. When I mentioned how much I wanted to see the inside of a turf house, he made an unplanned stop so we could explore one up close, which was such a special moment. Throughout the day we visited stunning waterfalls (with time to climb to the top of Skógafoss), vast lava fields, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Vík, Diamond Beach, and the breathtaking Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Pictures simply don’t capture how beautiful those last two stops are in person! Alex made sure we had plenty of time at each location, never making us feel rushed even with November’s limited daylight. He also knew all the best spots for photos — it was like traveling with a professional photographer. He had specific shots in mind for us and captured moments we’ll treasure forever. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Alex and this tour. If you’re visiting Iceland and want to experience the South Coast in the best possible way, book this tour — it’s unforgettable!

South Coast and Diamond Beach-all in one day from Reykjavik! - It’s a long day but so worth it! We had only a few days in Iceland and Alex made sure we got to see everything we wanted to. Alex is great- knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about him.

Our guild Dmitry for South Island, diamond beach … - Our guild Dmitry was fantastic, We had an outstanding experience with him. He is great and attentive and able to propose alternative when weather changes. The pacing of the tour was well-balanced, with enough time for photos, questions, and rest. What stood out most was the guide’s attentiveness — they checked in with everyone regularly, ensured the group stayed comfortable, and even offered personal recommendations for food and activities after the tour. Overall, they went above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

Personalized, Comfortable & Truly Memorable Tour - Had the best experience with our private tour guide Aleks for the South Coast & Glacier Lagoon! He was not only knowledgeable but also thoughtful – making stops for photos, sharing stories, and even treating us with lobster soup along the way. The whole trip felt relaxed yet full of highlights, from waterfalls to the stunning Glacier Lagoon. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to explore Iceland without rushing and with someone who truly cares.
