Wonders of the south tour - A long but amazing day. We encountered heavy snow and a blizzard but all the sights were still amazing. We particularly enjoyed the walk to the glazier. Coach was very comfortable and warm on a cold and snowy day. Glad we did not hire a car and booked a coach tour. Albert ( tour guide) was very knowledgable and friendly

10/10 Highly Recommended - My sister and I loved this tour. Our tour guide was Gunnar, and he was incredible. We had a gas station stop shortly into the tour which allowed us to get coffee, a pastry and make a bathroom run. We went to Skógafoss, Vik, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Solheimajokull Glacier and then ended with Seljalandfoss. The itinerary felt well planned and I felt we had enough time at each stop. Vik is where we stop for lunch and there was enough time and food options. My only advice is dress appropriately, Iceland weather can be unpredictable.

A day we will never forget - We loved this tour. Yes it was a long day, but natural wonders of the world are not conveniently next door to each other! The tour guide was excellent. His knowledge and delivery was informative and interesting. The waterfalls were magnificent, the black sand beach incredible, but it was seeing the glacier that took our breath away. Thank you to our guide and the driver, Robert. A day we will never forget.

Exciting and eventful tour of Iceland's highlights on the south coast - Hey Gray Line, what a fantastic tour. This is mainly due to Darren and his driver (Walli?) on this day (08.10.2025). Our guide provided us with all the important information without overwhelming us. So we learned a lot about our tour destinations, but also about Iceland and the people here. Despite rain at the beginning of the tour, it was a great adventure to explore the south coast with a very well-kept bus. The timing and stays were very well planned, we guests coped with it very well. Our "needs" were also addressed, so the bus restroom was never necessary. Next time we are back, you just can't get enough of Iceland's sights and nature. 5 points and a thank you for a great tour with Gray Line.

We missed our trip and are out the $400 + .... W Very unprofessional, especially when the driver should of had our names and the number of people that they are to pick up at each location !!!! He also should of had our phone number as it is given when you book a trip !!! No call...no come into hotel....a complete disgrace....Horrible lack of service...sent email to travel provider.....no response....asked for refund....crickets
