Take This Drive!
Jeremy_L, Dec 2022
Sergei is fantastic! Energetic, talkative, and a wealth of knowledge about the area. Even in the dead of winter, covered in snow, it was a beautiful day with many different stops. Flew by!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Dear Jeremy, Thanks for your feedback and good comments. We had a great adventurous day on the South Coast, despite the cold and gusts of wind blowing snow along the road.
Awesome day exploring the south coast of Iceland
Blair_T, Dec 2022
Our tour guide Sergei was fantastic, touring us around to beautiful waterfalls, black sand beach, lighthouse and all around the south coast. Also was a wealth of information about Iceland’s history, science, etc. Highly recommended!

Priceless
Polly_H, Apr 2022
From start to finish our private tour was amazing, informative, comfortable and memorable. Our guide was awesome and not only knew his stuff but was also an amazing photographer. We feel we saw Iceland from a different perspective than just a city break. One we will never forget.
Response from Host, May 2022
Dear Polly, it was my pleasure to spend a day with you and your son on the tour. I am glad that you have good memories and photos that remained after our South Coast trip.
Awesome tour

We had the best day on this tour!! Luke was absolutely wonderful - taking us to all of the coolest spots with the most amazing views and no other tourists!! We truly felt like we were seeing “secret spots” of the locals!!! A “must do” tour for any trip to Iceland!

Linda_M, Oct 2021
Our trip through the South Coast with Sergei was wonderful. Every stop on our tour was breathtaking. Our tour guide, Sergei, has an open and friendly manner and provided us with a wealth of information. We also all appreciated that he was always attentive to the needs of everyone in our group. The day was filled with great memories.
A true trip of a lifetime!
Denise_J, Sep 2021
We had Denis as our tour guide and he was brilliant! We saw some beautiful waterfalls, had some wonderful experiences seeing them, drove through some stunning scenery like out of a fairytale. The black beaches were incredible and Denis helped me plan the perfect proposal here. He is incredibly knowledgable about not only the scenery but also the culture and gastronomy of Iceland, and he took us to some truly fantastic places we will never forget! The glaciers and the cliff views were also massive highlights. From start to finish the day was one of the most incredible days, and you feel safe and comfortable. Highly highly recommend! Honestly a trip of a lifetime, a true bucket list moment. And thanks again Denis for everything you did for us!
It was a fantastic trip!...
Mark_T, Aug 2021
It was a fantastic trip! Our guide Sergei did a great job! I highly recommend this trip to everybody who would like to see real Iceland.
Wonderful tour
James_S, Aug 2021
This amazing tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Iceland. It was a long day, but our guide was consistently energetic from hotel pick-up to hotel drop-off. We appreciate that the guide was able to adjust the tour to our interests and physical ability. Now that we're back we see the wonderful photos the guide took! Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see some of the most beautiful parts of Iceland.
Puffins!
Mia_S, Aug 2021
Sergei is a fantastic tour guide. He is very knowledgeable. As an added bonus, he's an excellent photographer! He gave us a private tour of the beautiful Southern Coast of Iceland. The highlight of the tour was seeing a puffin colony where we saw hundreds of puffins! All in all, it was a wonderful day. Thank you, Sergei!
BEST TOUR EVER! YOU need to take this tour with SERGEI. IT WAS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!!
wendy_h, Jul 2021
BEST TOUR EVER!!!!! I am not kidding. And i have traveled many places. Sergei is one of the best guides I have ever had. My son and I adored our day with Sergei, who took us to the amazing waterfall that you can walk behind, as well as the secret waterfall, the black sand beach with amazing lava columns, and to the Glacier Soheimajokull. Neither of us had ever seen a glacier and so Sergei could not end the day without surprising us with a special walking trip to this impressive glacier. It just made the day perfect. Sergei is an amazing guide. He is eager for his clients to experience something (or in our case, many things) special, and I can honestly say that I may not have ventured up the steps to go above the waterfall or to the Glacier if he hadn't encouraged me to. Sergei also knows the perfect photo spots and I have so many amazing pictures from our day, which just makes the memories that much better. He just made us feel so comfortable and created a day with the perfect mix of scenery and with a wonderful stop for lunch too. The south coast of Iceland was my favorite and I have to say that in addition to being beautiful, Sergei made it so fabulous in every way.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Dear Wendy, I am glad that our trip to the South Coast left you with so many great impressions, it was a great tour with you and your son, which was largely a success for your positive mood and good weather. Thanks for the recommendations, we look forward to seeing you in Iceland again.
Awesome South Coast Tour
Yana_G, Jul 2021
My family and I had an awesome day with Sergei visiting the South Coast. He was an incredible guide and driver and it was clear that he truly cared about ensuring you got the most of your experience and day. He was super knowledgeable and friendly. I love that he showed us little secret spots and the places for the best photos. The South Coast is beautiful. This is a must do tour on a visit to Iceland and Sergei was the perfect guide to do it with. We took a Golden Circle tour a day earlier with another guide but I wish we had done it with Sergei instead. I would highly recommend Sergei and would most definitely book him again.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thank you, Yana, for your feedback. It was a great day with your family and I am glad you enjoyed the trip. Let me know if you will be back in Iceland.
Wonderful tour and knowledgeable guide
Derek_L, Jul 2021
Sergei is very knowledgeable and attentive. He is also very attentive to our requests. It was all around wonderful tour of the south coast.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thank you for your feedback and kind words. I am glad that you enjoyed the trip and I hope that the photo session on the black sand beach was also a success.
Wonderful experience
Rita_W, Jun 2021
Sergio was very knowledgeable on a wide array of historical facts to help not only enjoy the the areas visited but to help understand the history of Iceland. Very helpful and polite. Would enjoy more tours with him
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Dear Rita, thank you for your feedback and comments. It was a pleasure to be on tour with you, and I still have local stories from other regions of Iceland. I'll be glad to be a guide for you or your loved ones again.

Best tour in Iceland with best guide
MARGARET_W, Jun 2019
We spent 3 days in Reykjavik doing 3 different tours and this was by far the very best. The guide (Sergei) was terrific and very informative during the tour. He knew the best picture spots and even took many pictures for us. If you are only going to take one tour in Iceland this should be it.
