“Unfortunately Grey line tours didn’t pick my mom, my kids and myself from the bus stop even though we had been waiting for them from 7:30 am (required time to be at the stop) until 8:15 am. Supposedly they said they were at the stop at 7:59 but that was just a lie as we specifically checked each incoming bus to make sure that it was not our bus for the trip. Moreover many of the companies would call out their passengers’ names to make sure they had everyone on board and that was definitely not the case with this company. I called them at 8:15 am and when we…”

Most importantly, Filip prioritized everyone’s safety and well-being, which was truly reassuring. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Iceland’s natural beauty with a fantastic guide like Filip.”

The guide was friendly but did not provide any details about the lagoon, beach, or how to get behind the waterfall (it was impossible in the dark and ice). Stopped twice at the same Vik convenience stop for meals (and you could go to the gift shop). Bus was clean and on time.”

There are plenty of stops to use the toilet and have a snack, but be prepared to stay busy the whole three days. The hotel was simple, but the rooms were clean, comfortable and the restaurant at the hotel had something for everyone. I would definitely recommend this trip.”

Don't believe those who say it shouldn't be done in a day - even though it's a long way and it was a cloudy, wet day, this was a brilliant tour. Diamond beach with the black sand and icebergs was stunning, the waterfalls were beautiful and the stop at Vik for black crust pizza on the way back was delicious. Gummi our driver and guide had fabulous stories to keep us entertained and ensured we had enough breaks to make a long day relaxing. 10/10!Read more”

Meet Glacier Trips near Jökulsárlón for a guided hike toward Vatnajökull’s natural ice caves. With helmets, crampons, and headlamps provided, guides such as Laura, Alex, and Sindri lead groups of up to 12 through changing blue-ice chambers.

“Laura is a fantastic tour guide and an amazing Instagram photographer. She taught everyone how to fully experience the natural blue ice—no headlights allowed and using only our phone flashlights. She was absolutely right! The headlights would have disrupted the experience for everyone. There were multiple groups in the cave at the same time, but we never felt rushed. Laura made sure we got all our photos while sharing interesting insights along the way. Best of all, she was incredibly friendly, vibed with our jokes, and was so down to earth. Even after the tour, some of us stayed in the van while others chatted with her to learn more.…”

“Trond hosted our tour group and did a phenomenal job. He ensured we squeezed as much as possible during the time we spent with him. The commentary on board was enjoyable (as he was humorous) and educational! he kept to the schedule he did an amazing job in making sure everyone saw/took photos of everything which was a breath of fresh air and extremely kind while proving breaks. The cherry on top was making sure we were at a good stop to see the northern lights!
