We had a wonderfull day, saw beautiful landscapes (waterfalls, mountains, beach) and a very nice museum, where we learned about the life of the Icelanders in the past. The tour was well organised and our driver/guide Silke told us a lot about Iceland and the Icelandic habits. The bus was very comfortable. I would certainly recommend this tour to everybody who wants to see some of the highlights of Iceland.

This tour is recommended for all who wish to see the mighty waterfall Seljalandsfoss and the south coast with its stunning scenery. Among many other things the famous Hekla volcano could be seen looming on the horizon. Lasting impressions include black beaches of volcanic sand containing pebbles of all sizes washed shiny clean of a stormy sea, spectacular rock formations and more. The museum in Skógar (where, moreover, the poet Matthias Jochumsson who 1874 wrote the text for Lofsöngur: Iceland's national anthem, was born in 1835) was very much worth seeing with its many objects from earlier times. The old man who over the years collected all these things imparted many interesting facts about the objects and their history. During the trip the friendly and very knowledgeable guide also told us on various phenomena in Iceland.

Vimos dos cascadas heladas preciosas. Es algo único. Muy recomendable. La única pega es que estás bastante tiempo en el autobús, y además nos hizo un tiempo regular, con lo que no pudimos ver la costa sur. No obstante, lo recomiendo.
