Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1EastWest decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

    I took three different day tours with this company during my stay in Iceland: the Golden Circle, South Coast, and Snæfellsnes Peninsula. All three were absolutely breathtaking! You get to experience so much of Iceland’s incredible beauty in a comfortable, well-organized way. The minibuses were clean, the tours were punctual, and I always felt safe while having a lot of fun. Leroy and Ionut were my guides and drivers. Leroy went above and beyond. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, professional, and has a great sense of humor. Truly one of a kind! 🙂 Ionut was equally wonderful—caring, knowledgeable, organized, and an excellent guide who made the day both enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Iceland. It was one of the highlights of my trip!

    We booked 3 tours with this company. Our Northern Lights tour was a bust, but they rebooked it for tomorrow for us. This review is for Golden Circle. We also have a South Coast Tour planned for tomorrow. Stay tuned for those reviews as well. East West is extremely communicative, I encourage you to check your email the morning of pick up. A lot of tour companies use the bus stops and have multiple vehicles. We knew Simon was our driver and had a license plate number. Simon was great, with a fantastic sense of humor. He explained exactly what was going on at every step of the way. We visited the National Park, fresh ice cream shop, waterfall, geyser, crater, and tomato farm. Definitely a long day with a lot to do. I will say that food everywhere is expensive. Tomato farm was very good though. 2nd review is the South Coast Tour. Oscar was our guide for this tour. We went to black sand beach, and some really amazing waterfalls and a glacier. I don’t want to say too much and ruin it for you. We loved this one even more than the first. The scenery is absolutely stunning. This is a 10 hour tour and well worth it. Finally was our second go at the Northern Lights. We hit them at the very first stop. By the way, hot chocolate is amazing. This company and everyone we met who works for them is top notch.

    The Golden Circle tour guided by Gon was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. First, a moment for Iceland because this country is 😍. 🇮🇸 We started the day punctually, in an immaculately clean van, with a wonderful group of tourists and expert tour guide. After an early start, Gon was on mission to maximize our experience on this tour. He was able to squeeze in a few extra stops that were just the cherry on top of all of the experiences included in the tour. He thoughtfully planned out and timed our route to place us in locations at ideal times for lower crowds. Not one stop felt rushed or “overcrowded” at any point on our trip (aside from Guyser, which is apparently always packed in summer). Gon was extremely knowledgeable of Icelandic culture and history, blending informative segments and opportunities to quietly take in the majesty of the remarkable landscape. From breathtaking vistas and grand waterfalls, to expertly crafted dining and treats, to interaction with native animals, this adventure was more than we could have ever hoped for! One for the memory book for sure! Gon, Eastwest, we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to experience Iceland with you! Leaving with a greater appreciation and knowledge of what a truly unique country this is because of this tour.

    Our South Coast tour with Einar was fantastic! He was super knowledgeable and lots of fun. He was able to drive and guide us all safely through our 10 hour tour. I highly recommend! We also did the Golden Circle tour with Monica as our tour guide. She was quite entertaining and very interactive with the group. She made us all feel welcome and we had beautiful weather. You can tell she is passionate about the land!
