Seljalandsfoss was the best! - Albert was friendly and knowledgeable. The waterfalls and glacier were super cool. Walking behind Seljalandsfoss was a highlight - we were drenched and delighted, soaking in the views and the spray.

Best of Island in one tour - If you have only time for one tour - this is the one to choose because one gets a true glance of all the different, beautiful, amazing landscapes Island has to offer.

South Coast Wonders Day Tour experience - Our day tour experience was excellent. Came to this tour with my son and told me about Dori explaining many interesting facts about Iceland making it educational as well, and also a very friendly guide, which is why I would recommend the Reykjavik Excursions tour group.

Things I’ve seen in photos come to life - We saw sights that were so beautiful and breathtaking! To be so up close to such amazing scenery was an experience we will never forget. Nature is magnificent. Our tour guide Margaret was awesome! And we met another native young man, Gary who was so friendly and also helpful while visiting each destination.

Amazing Sights, Incredible Guide - Our guide, Unnur, and our driver, Vigfus, made this the best tour ever! The sights were absolutely breathtaking, and Unnur’s explanations brought each stop to life. Everything was so well planned that we got to enjoy every place without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Best tour ever thanks to Unnur and Vigfús! - Best tour ever especially helped by our wonderful guide, Unnur and friendly driver Vigfús. So many varied experiences in one day including waterfalls, black sand beach and my personal favourite Solheimajokull Glacier. Listening to Unnur made the driving time so short as I learned so much about Iceland and was particularly struck by the many similarities between Iceland and my native country Ireland. Highly recommended!

Wet but pleasant south coast - You can visit several sites of interest despite the rain. Too bad for the limited time and sometimes, only a structure can give shelter in case of rain (bar / toilet). The DORI guide, also driver, was friendly and pleasant in the description of the places visited. N.B. the guide does not accompany the group along the route, recommends and describes the place during the bus journey; the route is carried out independently by the hikers.
