Ahhh. The tour not taken. I jumped on a great last minute airfare to Iceland from the US and had little time to plan, so I was panicking, a bit. I read reviews and decided to contact two tour companies, one being Hidden Iceland. They responded immediately with a detailed outline of a private tour that met EXACTLY what I asked for in terms of sights, type of accommodation, level of activity, adventure and flexibility specific to a mom traveling with teenagers. Family friends learned of our trip and decided to join us and ultimately the decision was made to self explore. However- this company’s response was very impressive and I will be envious of those who take a vacation with Hidden Iceland!

The tour and our guide, Christina, were both amazing! We finished the full day of activities at the Blue Lagoon and it was honestly the perfect ending to this tour. Thank you so much!

AVOID THIS COMPANY. EastWest cancelled our tour with less than 24h notice, and then completely failed to refund my money. They refuse to respond to emails and have done nothing to prove they tried to refund. They have held over £200 of my money for over two months now, and I have had to do a formal Chargeback request with VISA. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE CROOKS.

We knew Reykjavik Excursions already from previous transfers. That was the reason for us to book again. Clean, always on time, comfortable. Weak is the price. It is too expencive.

I recommend to go to over the bridge to other side, where is less people. Then you can make nice picture without so many people ;)

We spent 4 days travelling to see the Southern sites of Iceland with a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. In addition to the standards like the black sand beaches and the Blue Lagoon she showed us many sites that are not available on regular tours through the big companies like the Westman Islands at sunset and more waterfalls than I could imagine! We also sampled Icelandic foods like fish and chips, traditional Christmas treats and delicious tomato soup surrounded by the tomato vines. Best of all, we learned so much about the rich Icelandic culture and history from Gulla. We could not have asked for a better tour guide.
