Excellent tour With Louiva and Andreas . Louiva’s commentary was really interesting and informative throughout the tour and the scenery was fantastic with a good amount of time given for stops at the waterfalls and Jokulsarlon . Adding on the boat tour at Jokulsarlon is really worth it too as you see the lagoon from a different perspective . We have found all the tours we have booked with GrayLine in Iceland to be very well run

This was a truely wonderful trip . We had been to the south coast with Gray Line before but not as far as Jokulsarlon and were just blown away with the scenery . Our driver Andreas and guide Louiva were both really excellent giving us lots of information about the geology and history along the way and insight into Icelandic life and folk lore . We had been in the guide for the golden circle tour and were thrilled when we saw we were with her again . At Jokulsarlon we also booked the boat trip which I can highly recommend as being on the water with the icebergs gives another experience . The waterfalls we stopped at were also very beautiful and we felt we had enough time stall the stops to experience the beauty as well as take photos . On the way back , unfortunately a tire blew in the coach , and I cannot praise the driver and guide enough for how professionally they dealt with this . GrayLine today certainly showed themselves to be an excellent company who are professional , organised and worth paying for . We will never forget the tour we did as apart from the scenery it was just run so well

This tour was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and nice and the sites were breathtaking. I wish we would have had more time to take everything in because the beauty was just majestic, but it’s understandable given how much there is to do. It’s a long day but absolutely worth it. So glad we went and even my 6 year old son loved every minute.

We had the most incredible day with Emilia !! If you have chance to have a tour guide she is the one you want. She droves us through crazy storm with the highest professionalism keeping us entertained with awesome Icelandic history and stories of trolls and Elfs. She kept us safe and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and having the best experience. Her driving skills in crazy wind gusts and rain were so impressive. The tour was incredible and we are lucky we lucked out to have Emilia guide us. Highly recommend to bring water proof clothing including pants. If you are ever in Iceland this tour is a must, but do yourself a favor and request Emilia to be your guide.

The tour was good so far it have been interrupted by the circulation problem on road n°1 due to overflowing river Skalm. It's a fact that we miss a part of the tour and that we spent a full night in the bus. But, I want to congratulate, for their reactivity and professionalism, all the team of the company and specially our driver and guide, Kristina. They managed perfectly the circumstances and found a solution as good as possible. Of course, I wouldn't recommend this way of travel 😀 but I have to admit that this was an extraordinary experience.

This tour was very immersive and in the meantime very funny. We had the opportunity to visit the glacial side of the Island (diamond beach) but also magnificents waterfall like Kvernufoss and Skogafoss with a very experienced and nice tour guide, Emilia, who gave us good informations about the places and also told Is Icelandic folk tales. She Is very kind and I recommend this tour!
