Review of Iceland’s South Coast small-group tour from Reykjavik, with waterfalls, Reynisfjara Beach, and a guided Sólheimajökull glacier hike.
“We got very lucky with amazing weather, sunny, not too windy and beautiful views and attractions. The two waterfalls were amazing, and the first had a shop and coffee spot, the lunch stop at the black sand beach was delicious. The the glacier hike was unparalleled. We learned a lot, had a friendly guide and had an exciting day and we're back in town for dinner.”

Review of Troll Expeditions’ 2-day Iceland South Coast tour, with waterfalls, glacier hiking, Jökulsárlón boat ride, lodging, costs, and tips.
“This was an average tour. Iceland is a beautiful country & the places we visited were amazing. However, the tour wasnt as expected at all...the minivan was dirty (filthy actually) and not comfortable at all for such long hours spent in travel. The guide was average, not very interactive and very distant...no warmth or friendly behaviour. The guest house/hotel that we stayed in at night was also bad. It was raining throughout the day & we were soaking wet...the room was not warm and it was a difficult night. Dinner is not part of the itinerary, and the guide stopped the van at an eat out before we checked in…”
Review of a private Iceland South Coast tour with glacier hike, waterfalls, black sand beach, guide, photographer, and hotel pickup.
“We had a incredible day out with Julian. He made sure that we made the most of our time out, and really matched our enthusiasm for exploration. Because we were a younger group, he was excited to make the most of the glacier part of the tour and so took us through the main sights with time to spare, and then walked us further up to an ice cave! He had all the right equipment and we felt like we were in very safe hands. He was also very open to chat on the driving portion of the tour but left us to relax whenever needed. We really appreciated that…”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
