Excellent interactive educational trip with 5*exhibits especially the into the magma chamber exhibition new for 2025! - I’d recommend in high season (July ) go at lunch time onwards as the mornings are manic with bus tours and very busy indeed

- We toured on 7/18/25 and guide and driver were excellent. The only downside was the weather. Good job on providing history and geographical information on what we were seeing.

Fantastic experience! - My husband and I took this bus tour to explore the south coast of Iceland. The bus trip was organized and comfortable. We were able to see so many important sights along the way, including Black Sand Beach, Black glacier and wonderful waterfalls. The lunch stop at a shopping center was great, giving us a lot of choices for what to eat. The guide, Jennifer, was absolutely fantastic. She was nice, friendly, fun, knowledgeable, patient and kind. We learned a lot about the history of the region and the current life of Icelandic people. The 10 hour trip seemed long at first but the time flew by! I highly recommend it.

I had a lot of fun and... - I had a lot of fun and our tour guide Jennifer was great! Other reviews had me worried about how much time we spent at each site but I think 30 minutes was the perfect amount of time. My one suggestion is a longer lunch stop.

This tour starts and ends... - This tour starts and ends with almost 2 hours of drive time in a coach bus. The bus driver was crabby and not very helpful. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was fabulous! She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. The landscape was stunning, even with the rain/mist in Vik. We loved this tour!
