    Iceland South Coast Aug 9 feedback

    Yesterday (Aug 9) we took the Iceland South Coast tour and we were extremely disappointed to say the least. It’s due to the 21 year old driver Ole we had such a bad experience. Ole really didn’t care much about us and he didn’t provide a good experience for us despite we spending a lot of money. Some of the things he did to make our experience really bad 1) Ole was vaping inside the car. Only after we asked him not to do that, he stopped 2) He got each of us just one small bottle of water for the entire tour. 3) He was either listening to music with AirPod or talking to people on the phone. 4) It was very difficult to communicate with him as his English is really poor. 5) We wanted to have coffee. We thought he would know a good coffee shop, but instead he stopped at a gas station for coffee (which provided coffee from machine). 6) He seemed not know about Iceland much and he was in hurry to finish the tour. I would expect you make a refund.

    Response from the operator: Good afternoon, Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I will be having a serious conversation with Oleg and will most likely end our cooperation with him, as vaping and the other issues you mentioned are unacceptable for our company standards. Regarding the refund — I believe it is fair to offer you a partial refund rather than the full amount, as all the planned locations were visited and the tour program itself was completed. I truly regret that the service you received did not match the quality we aim to provide, and I appreciate your understanding while we address this matter.

    Disappointing;

    Tour leader’s English was poor; greatly limited her ability to provide on going commentary. Compares very poorly with the 5 other Iceland tours we did on our Iceland trip. Her driving skills also were lacking, keeping us on edge of our seats.

    Amazing

    We really enjoyed this tour. It was nice not having to be stuck on a tour with a bunch of people. The sites were amazing, lunch was delicious(not included), and just having the freedom to spend more or less time where you want. Getting up close to the waterfall that was behind some boulders was so awesome even though we got soaked. You won’t regret this tour!

    Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland cost?

    +

    Prices start at $450 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private tour to the South Coast of Iceland start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
