The trip was totally worth it. Our driver guide, Trod, was an excellent driver (harsh winter time) and a knowledgeable guide who has shared a lot of interesting facts about Iceland and every places we have passed by and went to. He knows a lot of good spots and prioritised the best of all of them!! We definitely enjoyed every minute and would love to come back in a better season ❤️

A long drive (5 hours there and 5 hours back) but the arrival is breathtaking. There are few stops, but the landscapes that pass by are exceptional and very varied. The driver guide is very professional on roads where the winter conditions are very harsh. Only frustration, no hunting for the northern lights on the way back as planned.

It was a long day full of breathtaking moments. Our driver adjusted the times of the stops so that we could admire Diamond Beach and the glacier lagoon in beautiful light. The small tour group made it an experience like traveling with friends. I got to meet lots of nice people. Thank you for the unforgettable trip!

I really loved it, it is true that it is an exercise that is better done in 2 days to have time on each site but for people who do not have much time or finances for the south coast it is largely satisfactory

Excelente driver Gumi very professional and the tour was very good
