Holly was our tour guide and did a great job. I would recommend this trip to pretty much anyone. If you are a little adventurous makes sure you wear waterproof clothes as I walked through a waterfall at one point and that was really nice experience

Our guide Einar was amazing! He was super knowledgeable but so down-to-earth friendly and patient enough to put up with our American sensibilities. Highly recommend him and the company to leave you with interesting facts to take back home

We had a great experience with this tour and I would highly recommend! Einar was our tour guide and he made the trip to the South Coast go by quickly. He was friendly, easy going and easy to talk to. Our tour was carefully planned out and small enough to get to know the other travelers. Stops for snacks, food, chocolate and bathrooms were thought out and helpful for the first time Iceland tourist. For our first visit to Iceland, I would recommend this tour to get to know Iceland!

We loved seeing the waterfalls, glacier, black sand beach, and the beautiful countryside! Einar was our guide and was very funny and personable. We learned a lot about Iceland’s history and culture.

This tour and our experience with Hidden Iceland's staff and especially our guide Einar was top notch! A little explanation: we were scheduled to take the 2 day Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon tour. However, due to extreme weather conditions (wind and snow), roads were closed making the tour impossible. The staff at Hidden Iceland very quickly pivoted and offered the entire group the option to take two of their full-day trips instead. The communication we received from the office was impressive, frequent and never made us regret the change in schedule. They made it very easy for us. YES! We do want to return to see the glacier lagoon someday, but the sights we saw on the South Coast Fire and Ice Tour were amazing. Despite what must have been a day of stressful driving while fighting cross winds, our guide Einar was cheerful and shared a lot of insider knowledge about his lovely country and the amazing scenery we were experiencing. His knowledge of restaurants in Reykjavik was also impressive and helpful. This was so much more enjoyable than if we had been doing this without a guide. I recommend this company for any of your tour needs. If you want something that isn't on their list, I suggest you reach out. My impression is that they're very open to customizing an itinerary to your needs.

We recently completed a private 6-day tour of southern Iceland planned by Rita at Hidden Iceland. Our driver and guide was the “FANTASTIC FANNAR”. He was awesome! We are convinced that we would not have been able to see as much of this beautiful country without a private guide/driver. Fannar was able to adjust quickly according to weather, tourists, etc., so that we got the most out of every second on our tour. He showed us things we never would have found on our own or with guidebooks. He gave us insights and history on every location and Iceland in general during our drives. He paid particular attention to our personalities and preferences (even without us verbalizing) and was able to further tailor our tours/restaurants etc. as we went. On top of all that, he was just a fabulous person, and felt like part of our family by the end. Our vacation was so much richer and memorable because we didn’t do it on our own but had Hidden Iceland with us along the way. They are an extremely professional, passionate and competent company that delivers on their promise to provide safe tailored experiences that enrich your trip.

Highly recommend this tour. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. There were only 12 sightseers with this tour. Our guide, Emilia, was knowledgeable and friendly and encouraging. She took us to a cute “skool bus” coffee shop. The waterfalls and scenery are so beautiful. The lava show is very interesting, pretty amazing and a nice lunch there.

What a great tour - there's a lot of similar tours to choose from but I seemed to have chosen well - especially as a solo traveller. Einar was an affable, knowledgeable, and humorous host and driver. The 11-seater coach was comfy and whilst there is a lot of driving on this tour, it was enjoyable to take in the landscape and ask our host questions. Highly recommended. I took another tour in the same vehicle, by Hidden Iceland the day before and am glad I stuck with this company.
