Iceland · REYKJAVIK TOURS
Almost every Icelandic day out leaves from the capital, so this list is really two lists: the things you can walk to, and the coaches that take you three hours away and back. These 15 cover both, with pickup points and what each one costs.

Not only were all the food stops delicious, M&M gave us a mini history lesson while walking to each location. The weather that night was not on our side but none of us minded since M&M made the tour so much fun!”

“Daniel was a phenomenal guide. He was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and set expectations appropriately while providing some educational background. He was funny and light hearted and went above and beyond for participants. It was an incredible night for the lights despite being at the end of season. At no point did I feel rushed or that we were spending too much time on stops. I’ve done a lot of great tours and this one was easily the best. The hot chocolates and chocolate sweets were a great treat to top it all off. This is worth every penny.Read more”
Review of Iceland’s South Coast tour with Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Sólheimajökull, Reynisfjara, Vík, and practical booking tips.
“This was a great full day tour!😁 First stop was Skogafoss and that was pretty incredible! We spent a good amount of time there and I took tons of beautiful pics! Then we headed to the Glacier and that was pretty amazing also! Our tour guide Barbara was lovely and knowledgeable. Then we headed to the Black Sand beach. We didnt get to go on the beach because the rip currents were on a "red" status. But it was okay because we still got to take breathtaking pics! Then headed to Vik where we were able to eat lunch. Spent an hour there which was a good amount of time…”

See Thingvellir, Strokkur, and Gullfoss on a practical six-and-a-half-hour Golden Circle coach tour from Reykjavik.

Luckily the receptionist in our hotel managed to sort it so we could do a later trip.Tour itself was average, quite a distance to see the sights We had to wait to transfer to another coach 20 mins into the trip because the guides microphone wasn't working.
