    Excellent trip, this one is operated for TUI by Grey Line and the guides are excellent, it doesn’t appear to be the same trip sold by the Reps, I’d go with this one. Guide was a local and very knowledgeable

    Very knowledgeable guide, It would be nice to have a few more minutes at the last waterfall though (the waterfall you can walk behind). The bus ride was comfortable and the scenery was incredible! Thank you

Musement southern Iceland tour

If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
