We are absolutely blown... - We are absolutely blown away by the Bus Travel South Coast tour. The waterfalls were magical and otherworldly. Our guides Vicky the Viking and Captain Cattlebell were true professionals, so delightful and knowledgeable - we had a complete hoot! Can’t recommend this more for those who want to go chasing waterfalls. Only pointer from us is if they could give Thomas some additional training from Vicky - never met him but thought he could have use a lesson on charm and magnetism.

One of the best trips of my life - One of the best places, best trips, best guides (Daniel) I’ve been on. Worth every penny, got to see places you only think are made up in films and one day I’d love to see again. This is a must must do if you’re visiting Iceland

It’s a long day but well... - It’s a long day but well worth it. Our guide was terrific. It seemed like we got an inside, local perspective on the culture and terrain that you can’t get from a book. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, informative, comfortable and amazing journey - Yesterday we spent an amazing day traveling to magnificent sites! I questioned myself on the 13-14 hour time but wanting an adventure minus my own car ride we headed out. Our tour guide Wintin and Driver Hero were amazing. Navigating the roads, traffic rain and sun. They took us on an adventure, providing fun history, local music and answering every question asked of them. Somehow they managed to drive to ALL of our stops and have not a drop of rain during our time spent at each. REALLY! As we departed many stops, light rain or fog just began to appear as to say, thank you for coming, this sight is resting until the next bus tour arrives. We began at 7am pick up and dropped off at 11:30pm at our hotel. We snoozed a bit between stops, plenty of stops to grab a bite to eat or use the bathroom. We carried water and simple snacks although not required since all stops provided these if forgotten. I wanted to say a very special thank you to Wintin (I hope the spelling is close) he was genuine, kind and informative. He took time at stops to interact with any and all. I think he is an asset to your company and we were very fortunate to have him on with us. Iceland is a stunningly beautiful country and we were so lucky to have enjoyed it with your bus tour.

Loved it! - Loved this tour! We booked it last time we visited and our hotel booked the wrong day for us so we missed it. This time it happened! We did the small group tour which was lovely. Our driver/guide was Hbo, he was full of knowledge and very funny too. We had plenty of time at each site. A quick stop for lunch in Vik and home I'm good time too. Not quite 10 hours as stated but that was fine by us as we were shattered! My only little gripe was the step into and out of the mini bus was HUGE! I struggled a bit getting in and out as I suffer with arthritis but other than that it was well worth the money. We will definitely use them again 👍🏻

A must-do tour in Iceland - This was an absolutely fantastic tour and I would highly recommend it. Gunn, our guide, was really informative and I learned a huge amount about Iceland during the day. 10 hours is a long time with a group of people, but she managed us really well! The sights were amazing - Seljandsfoss, where you can walk behind the waterfall (weather permitting) was my favourite but the whole trip was wonderful and very well structured with plenty of breaks and time for lunch etc. Make sure to bring your waterproof gear to go behind the waterfall as it is VERY wet there but such a cool experience! There are toilets at all the key sights and also food/coffee options in most places.

An Amazing Day on the South Coast - Thank you, Siggi, for such a fun and memorable day on the South Coast. The atmosphere of the tour was amazing — relaxed, friendly, and full of laughs. I really enjoyed all the interesting stories and facts you shared along the way. It was a day well spent, and I’d love to join another tour with you in the future!
