The popular South Coast visiting Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Solheimajokull Glacier, The Black Beach and Vik

We loved our tour with Erla Ruth. We have some mobility issues and having her be able to personalize the tour so that we would not miss anything of importance was welcomed. We enjoyed her commentary as we rode in comfort and learned much along the way. At the sites, she charted the path with the fewest obstacles and we never felt rushed as we slowly made our way to the best viewing areas. Erla Ruth, loves Iceland and its history and loves sharing it with tourists. She has a way of making you feel like family as she shows you what makes Iceland unique. We are so glad that we booked this tour of the South Coast with Erla Ruth and highly recommend it to anyone who can spend the time required to see it as intended. Actually, what we really recommend is that you do find the time, it's well worth it. Thanks for a wonderful day!

Our tour with Erla through ToursByLocals was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Iceland! From the moment she picked us up, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made us feel like we were exploring Iceland with a local friend rather than just taking a tour. The South Coast is breathtaking, and Erla made every stop even more memorable by sharing fascinating stories about Iceland's history, geology, and culture. Visiting Seljalandsfoss was an unforgettable experience—being able to walk behind the waterfall was simply magical. Skógafoss was equally spectacular, and Erla made sure we had plenty of time to take in the incredible scenery and capture amazing photos without feeling rushed. Throughout the day, Erla was attentive to our interests and adjusted the pace so we could truly enjoy each stop. She was an excellent driver, answered all of our questions, and pointed out many hidden gems and interesting sights along the way that we would have completely missed on our own. If you're planning to visit Iceland's South Coast, I cannot recommend Erla and ToursByLocals highly enough. This tour exceeded every expectation and created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Erla, for an amazing day—we would book another tour with you in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful day with Erla. She took us to so many amazing places. She shared the history and folk lore of Iceland along the way. We had as much time as we wanted at each stop. She helped us get into see an amazing waterfall that you had to walk through a small cave to get to. We were part of a cruise and only had the day and this was a day well spent seeing the area. We would have never seen all these amazing sites if we had been part of a ship excursion.

Erla provided us the best day in Iceland! Her knowledge, style, passion and warmth added to the sites, making the day and sites much more rich. She can adjust length of time at a site and show the best spots, extra waterfalls to hike to that most tourists miss. She truly elevated our trip beyond what we imagined. A friend recommended her and she even exceeded that! Lovely woman, fun, gave breaks for food, knew all the best places. Thank you, Erla! :)

Awesome tour. Erla is amazing. She had answers to all our questions and let us take our time at each stop. We saw so many things on our 12 hour tour. Highly recommended. We took 4 tours while in Iceland and this was easily the best one.
