Fantastic! This was my 2nd trip with Guide to Iceland and each stop was a sight to see. Very memorable experience. Thank you Victoria the Viking and her Captain for a wonderful experience.

The day trip to the south of Iceland led us to black sand beaches , exquisite waterfalls and a hidden glacier! Absolutely worth it! Our guide, Sara Riel, was amazing! She kept the whole tour interesting by adding funny facts about Icelandic folkloric tales! Aside from the amazing landscapes, this tour provides interesting insights about Icelandic way of living, their culture and beliefs! I totally recommend this tour! And as a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease with the whole crew!
