About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- annemF9520SA0 contributionsBeyond My Wildest Dreams Come TrueMicheala was a fabulous tour guide. This was our second attempt with East West our first night 2 days before it was cloudy and no lights and our tour guide felt bad. Micheala told us all low expectations and let's hope for the best. She sure knew where to go on a clear night. The information she gave us all was outstanding. She said she was Northern Lights nerd. Well guess what so am I and being from AZ I've never had so much great information of the Northern Lights. When the Red's started to dance she was excited and I was beside myself. I would ask for her group and you won't regret it! A 2:30am return meant nothing I was on a natural high from the lights after being up for close to 20hours. Thanks so much Micheala low expectations made my bucket list complete. Such a beautiful night of the lights dancing. Also a bonus restroom break was a added bonus!Written 5 October 2024
- Roam220705099880 contributionsGood tour - Nature showed up for us that night + great tour guideMarecelo was a great tour guide! Knowledgable, friendly, skilled with the DSLR. He knows the places to go for seeing the Northern Lights. We had the best show of the month, he said - Sept 2024. The sky was lit! :)Written 4 October 2024
- 2010FreeSpirit0 contributionsA tour that deserves more than 5 stars!If I could give me experience more than 5 stars, I would. Our guide, Ionut, was the best and he knew exactly where to take us to amazingly faze in awe at the Northern Lights. He made an unexpected last stop when he spotted the NL from his side mirror and that was the most breathtaking sight of the night. He was patience in taking photos to ensure they captured the beauty of the lights & because my Samsung was useless, I am really looking forward to receiving the photos as promised within a day or two. Thanks for helping me tick off one on my bucket list.Written 4 October 2024

- pooleblondie20140 contributionsThe perfect tour with the perfect guide, Mona.An amazing tour. I can’t believe how much we saw throughout the day. Everywhere we went was perfect with enough time to enjoy every place we visited. The lunch at the tomato farm was such a fantastic experience. So pleased we chose this tour. The best part was our tour guide Mona. She was not only very knowledgable but such a bubbly, kind lady who took the time to make the day perfect. Thank you so much Mona for going over and beyond to make our day so incredible.Written 2 October 2024

- lisawB3090TF0 contributionsUnbelievable!Leroy from EastWest Tours was a fantastic guide for our Golden Circle tour in Iceland. While Iceland is stunning on its own, Leroy’s wealth of knowledge and fun personality truly elevated the experience. He shared fascinating insights about the landscape, history, and culture, making every stop more meaningful. I’d gladly book another tour with him and highly recommend EastWest Tours!Written 30 September 2024
- Sean S0 contributionsLeroy was amazing! Great Golden Circle TourAmazing tour today with the fab Leroy as a knowledgeable guide. I learnt a lot today about Icelandic culture and saw so much more than I expected. Even had an extra stop for a photo op. Will book all of my other tours through Eastwest as a result of his guidance today. Thank you!Written 30 September 2024
- J4331HIcarolynw0 contributionsThe best tour of Reykjavik, Golden CircleOur guide/driver Leo was fantastic, personable, and very knowledgeable. The ship was late arriving due to wind, and they emailed us, waited on us, and gave us the full time promised.Written 29 September 2024
- kidqik10 contributionsHighly recommendPerfect way to see some of Iceland’s must-sees and then some. Pick up was easy and exactly at the time that was communicated to us. Our guide, Leroy, was friendly, understanding, and professional. The sprinter was comfortable and the small group of 16 made the trip more enjoyable. We had a good amount of time to hike and take pictures at each location. Highly recommend!Written 29 September 2024
- 610kelseam0 contributionsThe one and only Leroy!Amazing tour! Super well thought out and planned. Our tour guide Leroy really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great timeWritten 29 September 2024
- Angie T0 contributionsUnforgettable experienceWe booked the tour rather last minute based on local guide’s recommendation. East West was accommodating and we were about to join the tour with no fuss. Our guide Sævar is very knowledgeable, I had learnt so much about northern lights through the 3-hour trip, where we caught some spectacular light show — said to be the best in September. It was an unforgettable moment, and S’s dedication just made it a better experience. I would strongly recommend everyone to go with them.Written 29 September 2024
- jessicahA190ST0 contributionsGreat Northern Lights tour experience with GummiGummi was a great guide during our tour and made sure that everyone was accommodated. After driving away from the city for 45 minutes or so, we arrived at a spot to wait for the northern lights. Gummi gave us some sky navigation tips and then it was time to wait - but not for long. After about 20 minutes or so, the lights arrived and were beautiful.Gummi took photos of all of us and shared the photo link with us afterward. He had quite the sense of humor - all of our guides did; which made for enjoyable experiences as well.Written 29 September 2024

On Thursday the 6th of April my dad and I took the South Coast tour with East West. When we we’re picked up we were kindly greeted by our tour guide, Leroy. We really enjoyed the day. He told wonderful and interesting stories about Iceland along the way. He also really engaged with the group, and even offered to go to different places along the route (that weren’t on the itinerary) because of the great weather. On the way back he put on some nice music and dropped us off. We both think he made our day and we’ll be happy to have him as a tour guide again. Thanks for the great day and the wonderful memories that come along with it! 😊

Fascinating tour, the waterfalls are incredible! Highly recommend using this company as they only use small minibuses. I found it made it more personal and interesting. Leroy our guide was helpful, informative and funny without being too intrusive or overbearing. We also used them for the golden circle and tomato farm which was equally exceptional. I am pleased we did both as they both offer different insights into Iceland

In another world, tour guide Devin is actually called Kevin and is a late night DJ deep in California, playing classics from the 70’s to sooth you through the small hours. In this world, he’s actually one of the best Icelandic tour guides there is. The tour itself was easy to book and the pre-confirmation email the day before was incredibly reassuring. Our ten hours on a mini bus speeding down the ring road went by in the blink of an eye as Devin (not Kevin) took us on a whistle stop tour of the South Coast and all its beauty. The blue sky weather was deserving of his aviator shades as we were picked up bang on time, just a stones’ through from our hotel. The trip was perfectly paced and no time at all until we were at our first destination. In between times, as we passed the westerman islands, Icelandic horses, volcanoes, glaciers and breathtaking scenery, we were given a potted history of the evolution, history, economics and culture of Iceland, with Devin’s own special spin, impressions of an Irish man called Eoin, dubious truth about sheep’s eggs (don’t ask!) and in truth as much as a highlight of the trip as the scenery, accompanied by a fantastic musical soundtrack through the decades. A week later and we’re still listening to the soundtrack. Inside knowledge and tips at each destination meant we got the most out of each location. You’re dropped off to exactly where you were picked up. Forever more, when I hear ‘Rumours’ by Fleetwood Mac I’ll be tired, sunburned, and happy in the back of a minibus travelling through Reykjavík having just fallen in love with Iceland.

LeRoy, our guide, was FANTASTIC! He was knowledgeable, funny and made the day relaxed and just perfect. We made an extra stop because the group was interested in going (it turned out to be amazing!) and he even shared his Iceland chocolate with us! He went with us into the waterfall crevice and made sure everyone who wanted to go was able to hike in. Loved him and the tour!

Devin, our tour guide, made the tour all the more enjoyable. His DJ like voice and standup style commentary was very informative and funny. The itinerary was perfect for a day and Devin executed it well keeping weather fluctuations in mind. The pit stops were well spaced and we had ample time to explore and take pictures. The minibus seemed fairly new and the ride was very comfortable.
I definitely recommend the guide and the tour company!

Inga Birna offered a wonderful experience of the South Coast through EastWest tours.
She provided a relaxing drive with lovely stories not only about the breathtaking views along the way, but also about her own life, crative pursuits, and travels.
Inga showed that she clearly loved her country, speaking with passion about her own adventures and experiences in Iceland as well.
She took care to time our stops at waterfalls to ensure that we could see it when the sun was just right, and rainbows would be in view.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn a little bit about Iceland, and a lot about how Icelandic people truly love their country.
Thanks for sharing it with us, Inga.

Fantastic day of touring the many sights of the South Coast! So much of the value of the tour was the quality of the tour guide, and Leroy did a great job. He was knowledgeable, engaging, witty, and patient. We covered so much more ground than we could have done on our own!
One negative was the tour bus itself. They had jammed in an extra row of seats in the vehicle, which made it quite uncomfortable for many us. (The previous day we did a different tour with a different operator, and there was 1 fewer row, giving us all the appropriate amount of leg room.)

Hey!
Thank you so much for your review!
It's great to listen that you could enjoy your day exploring the South Coast with Leroy.
None of our buses is modified at all when it comes to the seats or space so probably the one you used the day before was a different model. We use the original and newest models of the Mercedes Sprinters.

Toni

I had a great time seeing the sights in this tour, even with a bit of rain. I wish I had book one of the packages that includes a hike in the glacier, since it was a tease to be able to go up to it but now walk across it.
Our tour guide Petra was amazing, it's clear she takes her job seriously and has crafted her skills to give everyone a fun and seamless experience. Throughout the whole day she peppered us with knowledge about the country and the sights we were seeing, keeping it engaging and relevant the whole time. I have so much more appreciation for Iceland now! Beyond that, she was very good about repeating useful information about what was coming up next, how long things would take, where to load up on food, and which bathrooms to use. These practical tips ensured we were never confused about anything and could always plan ahead appropriately.
Oh and her Icelandic music playlist was amazing! Wish I could get the link!

On our trip the driver stopped at a service Station after the initial 90 minute drive - plenty of choice to purchase and sit in options.
We stopped for lunch at an appropriate time and there was even a café at one of the other stops.
Plenty to keep everyone fed!
