What people love about South Iceland Tours
- 3 Days Golden Circle, South Coast and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon (Group Tour)
Very nice and sympthic Tourist Guides.
- Land of the Northern Lights - 5 days
This tour was even better than I expected. Our guide "Chris" was hilarious in true Icelandic fashion, our tour bus was comfortably spacious/not overly crowded, and the accommodations were decent for the price (Guesthouse Borgartun in Reykjavik was clean and comfortable, and the Arhus cabins in Hella were fantastically cozy albeit lacking in things like a hair dryer and waterproof shower curtains). Although we felt rushed at times because of the strict itinerary we were keeping, we did get to see everything we anticipated on this tour, including some northern lights! Well worth the price, especially as an introductory tour to Iceland. Would highly recommend this for first-time visitors to the country who may be interested in seeing a variety of the usual tourist sights and getting an entertaining and educational history in the process!
I really enjoyed this tour as a solo traveler! My tour guide was amazing and took us to amazing places and explained a lot of history about Iceland. A definite must do if you want to be amazed with extraordinary landscapes.
