Our driver was excellent....

Our driver was excellent. He told much history of Iceland and interesting folklore stories. He had no control over the rainy day we had but we still had a delightful trip.

Sensational South

Don_D, Mar 2026

What a fantastic tour. Bjarni was great and enlightened us about a variety of Iceland facts and shared several Iceland Sagas. He is quite the story teller. The water falls, the glacier, and black beach visits were breadth taking. He even showed us how to find the ocean pearls on the black sand beaches. Would totally recommend this private tour with Bjarni.

Amazing experience,our tour guide Bjarni is excellent.He told many stories about Iceland,traditions and culture and since he was born and raised in Iceland he knows a lot about the culture and history.The sites we visited were absolutely beautiful,we had plenty of time to explore it and enjoy the views,had time to try black crust pizza in Vik.The car is super comfortable,and despite the long drive and the whole day of sightseeing,we really enjoyed the tour.I would highly recommend this tour,particularly with Bjarni as your tour guide,if you want to escape big tour groups and you don’t want to feel rushed,but would like to enjoy the beauty of Iceland,that is the best tour to take.

This tour and guide Bjarni T were fantastic

Stuart_N, Sep 2025

This tour shows you such a beautiful part of Iceland! From waterfalls to glaciers to a black sand beach to the sheep and horses and countryside and all of the sites along the way. It is worth every penny and be sure to ask for.Bjarni to be your guide. He is very personal and is excellent at what he does! He was so helpful with my husband's walker and such a kind man. We very much appreciated that he taught us so much about Iceland and was willing to answer all of our questions, and we had a lot! You can tell that he enjoys being a tour guide. He also shared many stories that are told in this country (which we thoroughly enjoyed!) and he has a great sense of humor as well. We could not have asked for a better guide! We highly recommend this tour (fantastic!) and highly recommend Bjarni! Thank you Bjarni for a perfect day!

Bjarni was incredible! If you are thinking of booking this tour, trust me just do it! The drive highlights such beautiful and wonderful stops throughout the South Coast and Bjarni customizes the experience beautifully. He is there the whole time sharing historic facts and Icelandic legends, and walking the sites with you to answer any questions. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much! We could rave all day about Bjarni and this experience, we will definitely be booking him again next time we are in Iceland!

Sarah_S, Dec 2024

We traveled to Iceland in December and did the south coast tour. Our tour guide was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the locations we visited and shared stories about Iceland and his family traditions. He gave us options to stop and use the bathroom or decide when we were ready to stop for lunch. He was also a great photographer! I would definitely recommend the tour. I think the price was well worth the one to one attention and not traveling via large bus on small roads in the snow.

Justin_S, Nov 2024

Bjarni was very knowledgeable and professional. He was very flexible and patient. We were traveling with a five year old and he was very accommodating and patient. He let us go at our own pace. On the drives in between the sights He told us many interesting stories about Iceland’s history and culture. 10 out of 10! Highly reccomended.

World-Class Tour

David_R, Nov 2024

We had a great time with Bjarni on our South Coast tour. His knowledge of the area, as well as his fantastic stories, made this tour extremely memorable. Bjarni also kept us in front of the tour groups the whole day, which allowed us to see many of these sites uncrowded. As for the sites we saw on the tour, very diverse, from waterfalls to glaciers to black sand beaches.

Daniel_R, Jul 2023

This was an superb tour of the South Coast. We drove in a comfortable vehicle and our guide, Jarni, was excellent, telling us about the region, about what we saw, and telling us tales of Iceland.
