Our tour guide Beggi made this trip for us. He was absolutely wonderful and an absolute joy to be around, so knowledgeable. I don’t think I’ve ever had a tour guide who was as good. The south coast was magical. The tour was fabulous from pick up to drop off. I highly recommend this tour and if you can get Beggi you are very lucky! Iceland, your pure magic! Love Bev & Mark

We had a great tour with Siggi! He had a lot of stories and information and even music and trivia. The tour was a great value for the money, considering all the places you go. He even added a stop to see the volcano that erupted in 2010.

Amazing trip! The trip was very well organized and covered the best parts of the South Coast all in one day. Our guide Siggy was incredible, and gave us an incredible overview of Iceland, its' culture and his story telling made the 2 hour trip to South Coast go by fast! Siggy is incredibly knowledgeable, and ensured the safety of all passengers! Highly recommend this trip! We had enough time to enjoy each spot and the breaks were well planned. 11/10
