This was best tour we did. Better as smaller group. Beggi was so informative and knowledgeable about all aspects of Iceland, answering any questions the group had and adapting the tour according to weather and even stopping couple extra times for photo opportunities. If you get Beggi for your guide, you’ve got a great day ahead of you.

The scenery was marvellous but we couldn't understand what our guide was saying for most of the time. This unfortunately rather spoiled us understanding what she was talking about unlike the Golden Circle tour where Margaret spoke very clearly.

Our guide/driver Andre was so lovely, and good at his job. He made sure to focus on the road whilst we passed through more snowy and icy areas, allowing us passengers to relax. As the conditions improved, he made sure to tell us lots of interesting information and stories about Iceland and personally introduced himself. His passion for the glacier, waterfalls and the black beach truly shone through. I wouldn’t have changed anything on this trip :)

Siggy was an amazing tour guide and he gave us many facts as we did the Small Group Souther Iceland Tour. He was very informative and very friendly. I would highly recommend this tour as there is many beautiful sights to see.

Our guide Omar was amazing. Loved the small group and how personalised it felt. Omar told us lots of stories about growing up in Iceland and was able to tell us all about the different places that we visited.
