Fantastic tour to some of Iceland's loveliest places with a great guide! Monika made the day a lot of fun and gave us plenty of time at each site to enjoy. Would recommend.

Don't expect any customer service
Booked my south coast tour, right before leaving was notified the tour was oversold and I was "upgraded" to another tour. I called the customer service number multiple times, first few times a human never answered the phone. When I finally did connect they couldn't find any reservation under my name or booking number. Went on the "upgraded" tour which included horseback riding. What they didn't mention was that there is a size limit to riding iceland horses. I was "to big" to ride the horse and was not able to do this part of the tour. Once again tried to call number, never got anyone that could help.

Our final tour and was not disappointed, Devin is stellar!!!
Our vacation was coming to an end and there was time for only one tour. Literally the day before as my eyes are going wonky trying to figure what to choose but we knew we had to see more of beautiful Iceland. Finally decided on this one from EastWest which was the right choice and Devin with his very well spoken English and vast Icelandic knowledge really cement it. The glacier waterfalls are beautiful, the landscapes are wondrous and seeing the countryside makes you further appreciate the country. It’s a long day due these spots being further away from the city but plenty of bathroom breaks and a lunch break. You are not rushed at any of itinerary spots. This small group tour is also great because your tour guide (if you are lucky will get Devin) will pivot if one spots is too crowded or the weather is not ideal and will circle back to it. Definitely recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Kitty, for your wonderful review—we’re delighted that you enjoyed the stunning landscapes and waterfalls and that the guide helped make your final Iceland adventure truly memorable! 💙

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $180 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 Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 114 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 Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik?
+
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 Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik?
+
Around 40 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Winter South Coast Small-Group Day Tour from Reykjavik 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, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. 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.
