“We rebooked this tour because the first time it was cancelled due to weather and a tour to the west coast was offered instead. You can check out that review bellow. This is about the south coast. Truly beautiful! The waterfalls are really impressive. I liked that I could get close to them. Bring waterproof clothes, you will get wet. The glacier was by far my favourite from this tour. Seeing it so close and seeing the newly formed lagoon and icebergs was unique. Our guide, Petra, was really kind and helpful. Loved it!”

They provided a car seat, which was nice, but the car seat was a bit dirty. We only wish we had more time to spend in each location because it was a very quick stops even though it was a long day. Tour guide was great and gave us heads up on restroom stops and what each step had if we needed something. We liked on the way back, we were able to relax and enjoy…”

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.
