I had a wonderful time! Our tour guide, Al, was incredibly friendly and informative. We were able to stop at a lot of awesome places, and I feel like we had a good amount of time at each one. With how far away some of the destinations are, I was worried bathroom breaks would be limited, but there were plenty of opportunities for this (in addition to opportunities to get lunch/snacks/drinks). I had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this tour!

Incredible day trip. Fantastic waterfalls, black sand beach, visit to an enormous glacier. Stops at multiple view points. Multiple comfort and eating breaks at great facilities. 100 % satisfied. This is a brilliant day trip!

Did not get off to a good start. Was the last pick up and got stuck in the back of the bus. Was stuffy and hard to hear the guide. However, others had the same complaint. All that was remedied quickly after the first stop. The guide was very informative and gave great suggestions. The best being the hidden waterfall, Gljufrabui, at Seljalandsfoss. This excursion had it all, the glacier, black sand beach and two magnificent waterfall stops. Many tours to choose from, it’s hard to know which one to pick but you can’t go wrong with this one.

Well, the tour was a hit! Rodney was a fantastic guide and we would do another tour with him any day. I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour with Baldwin was so informative about the history of the South Coast and all the towns between Reykjavík, which also included seeing numerous waterfalls, the black beach, how important the Icelandic horses, sheep and Atlantic chard are! Highly recommend!
Jackie_E, Jul 2025
Great comprehensive tour of the South Coast. Love walking under a water fall and seeing puffins at the black sand beach. Guide was very knowledgable.

The tour was informative. We enjoyed looking at the sights and hearing bits of information around the area. Our guide was knowledgeable and seem to be keen on explaining the science behind things/events. It would have been nice to see Skógafoss a bit earlier in the day when there was more daylight. Overall, we enjoyed the tour and would recommend the tour.

We had a fantastic day with our driver/guide André. He was fun and informative. Loved all the sights we visited. Highly recommend this tour. No criticisms at all.

Buyer beware! I reserved this trip weeks in advance. Unfortunately, we were the last pick-up spot and the only seats left were in the last row of the sprinter van (not a bus as advertised). There were no windows to the right or left in the last row. You could see if you leaned forward from your hips and turned your neck to look out of the windows in the row in front of you.
Michaela was wonderful and the stops were great, but I feel the other guests on the tour were more comfortable and were able to see more of Iceland. If I had known where I would be seated ahead of time, I would have cancelled the trip!

Our tour guide/driver "Simon the 1st" was the perfect guide because he is a geology nut. His explanations of the sights was spot on as were his stories of the history of the area. Very enjoyable day.
Nathee_H, Jul 2024
You said that our group only 6 and we paid to you for 6 and we paid for hole group at full price which you gave discount 20%
But you asked me to join group tour, and wait more than 3 hours.
Angelo_A, Jun 2024
The sites and the tour guide. It was an amazing time. My favorite was the last waterfall and the gorge.
Roy_B, Jun 2024
Oscar made the entire trip fantastic. His knowledge of Iceland and geology made the trip better than a normal sightseeing endeavor.
Karen_W, Jun 2024
Our guide, Simon Adolf, was spectacular. Informative and entertaining, he really made the tour special. Even in driving rain, it was fun.
Christopher_W, May 2024
A long but memorable journey seeing some key geological points of beauty in the south. The small group and the very knowledge driver were key in making this a very successful endeavor.
Amy_S, Apr 2024
Simon, our guide, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and created a comfortable atmosphere for our group. I hight recommend EastWest tours!
Lisa_K, Apr 2024
The trip was wonderful. Bjorn from EastWest tours was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and very funny as well. The glacier, the town of Fik, the black sand beach, lunch and the waterfalls were amazing. We had an absolutely wonderful day!
Joshua_B, Nov 2023
Our guide Kiki was excellent. It was a beautiful tour. Very windy on the black sand beach and constantly had to be watching out for the sneaker waves. Follow your guides directions here! Beautiful waterfalls for fantastic pictures.
Caitlin_F, Sep 2023
Tour was great, but more time at the stops would have been appreciated. My partner and I speed walked/jogged to see everything when we would stop. Thor was a great guide!
Gloria_D, Aug 2023
Great itinerary and Leroy our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The only thing that would have made the trip the best is if Mother Nature was kinder.
Jonathan_L, Jul 2023
Leroy was informative and fun to listen to. We loved the waterfalls and black beach and had plenty of time to enjoy.
Ann_I, Jul 2023
Great tour stops. Tour guide wisely adjusted the order of stops based upon crowds from other tours. Tour guide was very informative
Steven_K, Jul 2023
We did several bus tours in Iceland and this was by far our favorite, guy was really really great he was super informative and everything he said was interesting where as I did a tour with one of the bigger agencies and the guy kept repeating facts and kept making like lame jokes. This was not that. I learned a lot on this tour and would recommend this agency to everyone
Stephen_G, Jun 2023
The Waterfalls were amazing also black sand beach rock formations were great. Would definitely go again.
leticiayleana_l, Jun 2023
Iceland is incredible and this is a Great tour, we visited beautiful sites and Devin our tour guide was terrific! Sooo worth it!
Dyan_B, Jun 2023
Our tour guide Tony from Spain made the entire trip great! He was engaging, informative and accommodating! We learned so much about Iceland, and he provided us with plenty of time at each stop. He also made a quick stop at the famous Bra Fence at my request. The mini bus was clean and very comfortable. Well done!!!
Laura_C, Jun 2023
Leroy was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We saw and learned so much more than we would have on our own. It was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on.
Rebecca_A, May 2023
We had a wonderful small group tour of the south shore of Iceland with an awesome tour guide Leroy who was entertaining and a wealth of Icelandic information that you don’t normally learn about which was an added bonus! It also was a sunny day which made the sites we saw even more spectacular! We highly recommend this tour if you want to see the raw beauty of Iceland and are only there for a short stay.
Linda_G, Apr 2023
Very enjoyable tour with our guide Simone. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Iceland and shared many stories of the past and present. Seeing the black beach and many waterfalls was well worth the trip. Highly recommend this small group tour.
