Amazing 2-Day South Coast Tour with Branimir

Branimir was an excellent guide for our 2-day South Coast tour. He was energetic, attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time throughout the trip. He kept the group engaged, gave clear instructions, and brought a lot of positive energy to the experience. You could tell he genuinely cared about making the tour memorable. I had a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend touring with Branimir!

The only tour you really need!

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. I had never been on a multi-day tour with a group of strangers before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but everything went seamlessly. Our guide, Branimir, was fantastic. He made everyone feel welcome and included, was incredibly patient, and was an excellent driver. Throughout the trip, it was obvious how much he genuinely cares about his job and how passionate he is about sharing Iceland's history, geology, and culture. I'm vegan, and Branimir never made me feel like an inconvenience. In fact, while we were on the Glacier Lagoon boat tour, he bought me a vegan sandwich for dinner. It was such a thoughtful gesture that I truly appreciated. The van was comfortable and had fast Wi-Fi. Our overnight hotel exceeded my expectations. My room had comfortable twin beds, a spacious, clean shower, and the hotel included breakfast the next morning. It was also just a short walk from a black sand beach where I had the entire beach to myself in the morning. The glacier hike was incredible, and adding the Katla Ice Cave made the tour even more memorable. If you're considering this tour, I can't recommend it enough. Branimir made an amazing itinerary even better with his kindness, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for Iceland.

Amazing experience

I did the overnight minibus tour with Branimir, and it was probably the best tour I’ve ever taken. Branimir was an amazing guide and so kind, knowledgeable, funny and made everyone feel taken care of. The whole itinerary was incredible. We got to see so many beautiful places and every stop was worth it. We stayed overnight at the cutest hotel and the breakfast the next morning was great. The guides for the kayaking and glacier hike were also awesome, friendly, fun and made the experiences even better. Troll was very organized and communicative and made sure everything ran smoothly. Every detail was so well thought out. I had the best time and honestly can’t recommend this tour and guide Bran enough. 10/10!

Excellent Tour, Just be sure you know what to expect.

This is an excellent tour with some experiences that you won't find anywhere else in Iceland. Our guide "Bran" Branimer was excellent in his narration and keeping us update to date on rest stops and upcoming sites. Our tour did not follow the listed itinerary in order, but we did make all of the stops over the two days. It is worth mentioning a few items if you are considereing this two day tour. 1. The first day is a lot of driving - over 500 miles to reach Diamond Beach. There are a couple of scenic stops along the way and rest stops, but you spend most of the day driving. 2. The Black Diamond Beach and lagoon boat ride among the icebergs alone are worth the drive. 3. Our overnight accomodation was a two star hotel. Very limited in features. "Very comfortable" twin beds, with a luggage rack for each, two chairs and a small table. Nothing between the beds for glasses or phones. No TV, but wif fi worked fine. Breakfast was equal to or better to a Holiday Inn Express. Very clean and everything in good condition. 4. The glacier hike is strenuous. It is a big part of the second day and so consider this strongly when deciding to book this tour. 5. The Seljalandsfoss Waterfall is a highlight and you will need a waterproof jacket, pants, and shoes to walk behind the falls. There are several "once in a lifetime" experiences on this tour. Just be sure it is right for you.
