What people are saying about Southern Region, Iceland

Our guide Karen was brilliant and our driver Milan was very good. Karen knew everything about everything! She was full of information about the things we saw and passed by, and she was funny. We learned much about Iceland and the things we stopped to see were interesting. The most exciting for me was seeing where the two tectonic plates meet. Even though the weather was foggy and rainy at times during the day it just seemed to authenticate the whole Icelandic experience. I was glad that I had brought crampons as it was slippery and icy on some stretches and would advice others to bring them when visiting in the winter. We finished the day at Sky Lagoon which I definitely recommend every body tries! The 7 step spa was lovely and the view from the lagoon and sauna amazing! A really good day!

The guide was very knowledgeable. She gave a lot of information about Iceland. We visited many interesting places, in each of them we had free time to explore by ourselves. The road conditions during winter are demanding in Iceland and it is worth to add that the driver Piotr was very careful, which made the whole trip very safe. Good value for the money spent.

Amazing trip, probably the best tour we did during our stay in Iceland. It was lovely to get to see so many natural highlights & the lagoon was beautiful, not too busy either! Our bus were the only ones there. Our tip would be to do the tour towards the end of your stay. We felt we’d done the best bits on our first day by doing it first haha.

Great tour. Tour guide was very informative and made it interesting. Driver was very friendly and we all enjoyed the whole day and was a memorable experience. Great tour company

Excellent. Blue lagoon well worth trip. Bus driver was also fantastic! Gardrune (I can’t spell it - tour bus 5 on 17th of Feb!) you are brilliant.
