Fantastic tour with Bjarni! It was such a pleasure talking with him as he filled us in on Icelandic history, geography, culture, legends, and so much more. The views are gorgeous on the drive and the waterfalls, black sand beaches, glacier, coastline, and all are breathtakingly beautiful! Highly recommend this tour. What an amazing way to spend a day going to all the major sights, learning so much, and enjoying the journey. Definitely a highlight of our Iceland trip.

Sensational South
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.

This tour and guide Bjarni T were fantastic
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!

BOOK THIS TOUR, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
Our group of ten took this tour in May during our cruise stop. Booking was very easy. As a person with many questions, Bjami answered each and every one of them with a prompt reply. Meeting at the cruise port was very easy as he is parked beside the tour bus parking lot. All of us thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this tour. Not only did we see THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS, we were lucky enough to have Bjami as our driver and guide. We learned many things about Reykjavik and Iceland from a local perspective. He was open and honest with his answers. The tour was a full day with beautiful memories. Don't hesitate, book this tour.
