Awesome tour with Simon. Full of comic relief and Icelandic information as well as some info about movies and TV shows that were filmed in the area. We had a little wet start to the day but that didn’t hinder anyone’s enthusiasm. Ended the trip at Seljalandsfoss waterfall just in time for the sun to come out. The tour guide did this on purpose because he had been tracking the weather and knew it would be sunny on the tail end of the trip and he was exactly right. Fantastic tour! Definitely go on this one and ask for Simon if you want some wonderful comic relief. Side note: take the steps to the observation deck on top of the first waterfall and walk down to see a second waterfall that is also pretty cool!
Hello :) We’re really pleased to know that Simon made the day so enjoyable, from the stories and local knowledge to the good humour along the way. A guide who can read the weather conditions, adjust the rhythm of the day, and keep the group smiling is exactly what we hope for. It is wonderful to hear that the timing worked out so well at Seljalandsfoss, with the day ending on such a bright note. And we know Simon also took you to Gljúfrabúi, which tends to be a favourite for many guests. There is something quite special about stepping into that little hidden world <3 Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’ll make sure Simon receives your kind comments. Best wishes, EastWest Team
Fantastic tour to the South Coast with David, highly recommended. David really cared for the group on the tour and offered a really interesting, sometimes irreverent, commentary of the geology and history of Ireland with some diversions in to other more random topics like youth service in Iceland and Justin Bieber. Pick-up in Reykjavik was smooth and after a drive out to the South Coast with a break in between the tour takes you to Skogafoss with plenty of time to explore and get right close to the waterfall (and climb up to the top viewing point if are feeling energetic). Then onwards to Reynisfjara beach (the black sands beach) where David joined us to help navigate the beach safely. Lunch break was adequate in Vik with David providing excellent advice on options, we enjoyed an Icelandic lunch at the Ice Cave cafe. In the afternoon we walked up to the edge of the glacier with our guide providing context on the changing nature of the glacier as well as making sure we didn’t wander beyond the safe area. Then finally on to Seljalandsfoss, it is great that this is the last stop as going behind the waterfall even with waterproofs you get drenched but it was an amazing experience as was seeing the little slightly more secret waterfall, Gljúfrabúi. Overall a great experience but worth mentioning it does involve much more time in the minibus than the golden circle and a long day arriving back in to Reykjavik around 7pm.
Dear Guest, Thank you for joining our South Coast Tour and for your detailed feedback. We’re delighted David’s knowledge, sense of humor, and attention to safety helped make the day memorable. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the waterfalls, glacier, and black sand beach while learning more about Iceland along the way. We hope to welcome you again. Kindest Regards, Marta EastWest Customer Service

We had the most amazing time during the private Golden Circle tour with Oscar who was our tour guide. The scenery was beautiful but what made it for us is ours tour guide Oscars knowledge and all the interesting facts we've learned. Definitely will be back to Iceland and for sure we will use Eastwest and Oscar to show us around this most amazing place!

It means a lot to hear that both the scenery and the guiding stood out during your time in Iceland. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Ride was in time. Simon was very informative, great sense of humor and informative. The information was not only on what we saw, but on the food, culture and other trips/attractions. Not easy to keep a group entertained for 10 hours, but he did it. We also did a bit extra from what I saw other similar companies. Another great trip. Thank you EastWest!

The South Coast tour was a wonderful experience! Oscar was so knowledgeable and kept us informed every step of the way. So many beautiful stops with history to take in. The mini bus was VERY comfortable, and there is WiFi available while traveling the whole day. Oscar even made stops for breaks and snacks as well. Highly recommend!
