What people love about South Iceland Tours
- Iceland's Golden Circle in Depth (11 destinations)
Pros: We had a great time on the golden circle tour in Iceland mainly due to our tour guide Josef. He was very knowledgeable, professional and gave us a memorable tour. He did the driving as well as the tour. Our group was 10 people which was a perfect size in the van. The hotels were clean. All the sights were great. The only con : wished the tour added the blue lagoon geothermal spa rather than the secret lagoon . Secret lagoon small, not even close to what the blue lagoon offers. All in all great trip! Glad we went. Will travel with intrepid again.
- 6 Days Iceland | Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes, Reykjavik City Tour & Airport Transfer (Group Tour)
Everything was organized perfectly. The company did their best to accommodate me every step of the way and always responded promptly to all of my messages.
- 6 Days Self-drive | Reykjavik, Golden Circle and South Iceland Tour (Winter)
Really loved how this made the trip so much more effortless while still maintaining the freedom to do any activity we wanted when we wanted. Did not have any surprises with booking, rentals or check-in.
