The waterfalls, the black...

Intimate sized tours are best

Our tour guide Chris was fantastic. I was like a wide-eyed child on this trip. Every single stop was magnificent and incredible. I also like the small sized group. The black sand beach can't be described in words. Lunch at the brewery and burger place in Vik were a delightful surprise The final stop at the Gljufrabui slot canyon waterfall (near Selljandfoss) deeply touched my soul.
Amazing

A truly wonderful introduction to the South Coast - Nature at its best.

This is a truly wonderful tour - a long day but each sight is breathtaking and makes the travel worth it. I cannot recommend it enough. You will stand in awe over and over again. Having a great guide also helps, but I am sure they are all fab. Cannot think of any negatives, it will be a day to remember.
More informative guide needed- views spectacular

The trip itself and the sights were exceptional but there was sadly no information from the guide at all. When we reached vik I wanted to walk rather than have lunch saw an amazing statue but he knew nothing about it and not overly interested when I looked it up on Google - actually a famous statue twinned with one in hull so would have visited friendship statue if I’d known. Husband not as agile but he didn’t wait for the slower members at the glacier. However sights amazing

Enjoyed the trip and all the sites that we saw. The waterfalls were amazing. Just wish that our guide had explained more about The history of Iceland. He was not informative at all.

Iceland's South Coast is beautiful and rich, but our tour guide did not do it justice

Overall, we were happy with the (small) size of the group, the luxury van that was very comfortable, and the schedule we followed during the day. However, we were expecting more from the tour guide. We were hoping for some narration, interesting stories, background on the places we visited, but none of this was offered during the tour. Essentially, the talking was kept to a minimum (and also very low volume). Our tour guide, Julian, was very nice and polite, but would not recommend, if you're looking to learn more about Iceland's beautiful nature and history.
Fantastic !

Fantastic trip that was very well organised from start to finish. Would highly recommend this company as our guide Chris was enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable about Iceland. Definitely book with Holiday Tours you will not be disappointed!
Amazing, not too be missed!

Our guide was extremely knowledgable and made us feel very comfortable. He moved some of the tour around for the weather, which meant we were able to walk up to the glacier! The sights are incredible!
Amazing tour! Highly recommend

Had a great time on this tour lead by Micheal. We was an expert at navigating the tricky Icelandic roads and adjusted our schedule to be sure we saw everything. Michael was funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and awesome! Holiday tours was super easy to book through. I even changed my pick up destination that morning, and they picked me up from the new spot with no problem. I highly recommend this company
Definitely worth it

I didn't think this trip would be as good as the golden circle but it was. It's a very varied trip, going inside a waterfall at one stop then close to a snowy glacier at the next. Thomas was a friendly and very knowledgable guide. Highly recommended.
Don’t miss this experience!

One fantastic trip from start to finish. I was looking forward to exploring this part o father island but I was blown away by this trip. Our guide Thomas (from Poland) was fabulous, so knowledgeable and helpful in equal measure. I would highly recommend this trip
Amazing guide, amazing places! Must visit!

If I could place 10 stars, I would!!
The guide,Kris, was very friendly, gave us a lot of explanation and tips on the hidden spots to check out every time we were stopping somewhere.
The places we visit were absolutely breathtaking, mainly the hidden waterfall where we could stay just 1 meter away. Even with a lot of snow was super doable and actually even nicer !

The day ways beautiful. One of the best days I have had traveling in my life. The driver and tour guide, Petra, was our very own Wonder Woman. She's amazing, professional kind and patient with my klutziness. The bus was very clean, but it's too small. I was very uncomfortable. I'm a very large person. I didn't know the seats were to narrow, the windowd to low from me to see the mountains.
Awesome experience

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
