What a wonderful trip. Our driver Mike was a terrific guide and driver. He provided great information about each stop and the sites along the way. The glacial (blue) cave IS A MUST SEE if you are in Iceland in the winter. There was also a great glacial lagoon. This trip is a MUST

Great two day tour, our guide Cristina went above and beyond to make sure we had a lot of fun and made the most of our time. The itinerary was just right so that we didn’t spend too long on the bus. Make sure to bring ponchos with you if raining as the petrol stations often sell out.

AMAZING tour. One of the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Albert, was so fun and knowledgable, and even stopped some extra times to show us even more sights! We even got to see the Northern Lights on our night at the hotel. A fantastic way to see the south coast, and the ice cave tour was awesome. Would recommend bringing some power bars/snacks, as we didn't stop for lunch/dinner until 5pm the second day. But the bus made lots of bathroom stops and you could buy snacks there too. The hotel was great that they had booked us in. All around a well planned and super fun tour! (our tour bus didn't have outlets unfortunately, so I would definitely recommend a portable charger)
