Bjorn was such a great driver and guide. Great sense of humor and very friendly. Very proud of Iceland, with great love for his country and his job. Thank you Bjorn for making this day memorable!
The guide who took us was bjorn, a very patient and interesting guide who made the whole day group really fun! And the glacier hike. I didn't wear gloves, and he was very kind to help me, and a warm reminder. It was very cold up there.
Beate was an incredibly kind and patient guide, always full of enthusiasm. Thanks to her, we had such a joyful and unforgettable hiking experience. Bjorn, our driver, was warm and humorous, sharing a wealth of fascinating facts about Iceland throughout the journey. The South Coast and the glacier hike were absolutely worth the trip—the scenery was breathtaking and spectacular. Highly recommend!
Just go. Our glacier group had the entire age range: from young to old. Our glacier guide Mika trained us well and accompanied us well. Our driver Sergei made stops at two waterfalls and the black sands beach, giving us enough time (you now, considering time limits). Both guides were friendly and attentive to personal needs. Superb experience!
What an incredible day! It felt like we packed a week’s worth of adventure into a single tour. Bjorn was a fantastic guide-his stories, humor and seemingly endless knowledge of Iceland kept us entertained from start to finish. The glacier hike was a highlight of the day, thanks to our guide, Katarina. I was a bit nervous about it, but her encouragement and positive energy gave me confidence.,Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for adventure, amazing scenery, and outstanding guides.
Fantastic experience! Björn was the best guide I’ve ever had, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and humorous!
An awesome adventure. The rain stopped for us to enjoy the black beach and George was a great guide for the glacier hike! We had all types of people on the hike and everyone had a successful excursion on the glacier.
Another great excursion here in Iceland. Our guide Maria’ was funny, knowledgable and of course Super Icelandic! Between stops she gave us plenty of facts & history of the region we were near and the country in general. Fun walking under the falls, climbing hundreds of steps to the top of another waterfall & the glacier hike was awesome. Be prepared for a 12 hr day but sooo worth it.
A brilliant, well organised and exciting day out. Jon (Ionut) was excellent and looked after us all day, a true gentleman (thank you)! Ethan was a great guide on the Glacier and looker after us really well (as well as being a lovely bloke).
Being physically active seniors in our seventies we were pushing the upper age range for the glacier hike. Our joyful guide Beth made the hike fun, safe, and interesting. John the other guide who drove us around the South Coast was very accommodating. The trip was an experience of a lifetime and we were grateful for having this opportunity.
