    Best day of my life. We had originally booked a different experience which was cancelled due to Volcanic activity. They were quick to offer this as an upgrade. My friend and I had an amazing time with a knowledgeable tour guide (Ilsa). We had also booked a northern lights tour (that we had thought was cancelled) but it hadn\'t been and our bus operator managed to meet up with the other bus on our way back into the city so we could still make the next trip. Will never forget this experience. Read more

    This tour has the best of everything! I did three separate tours with Bus Travel Iceland, and this tour is the best in terms sights and duration. Each stop on the peninsula is so beautiful and they are all very different from each other. I got lucky with a perfect weather day, and I was delighted with the bright blue water against the black beaches as well as the many waterfalls I saw on this day. Such a perfect tour and the day flies by! If you want to see the best of Iceland, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula has it all. Thank you so much! Read more

    This tour is absolutely worth the long drives. The stop at Glacier Lagoon and Diamond beach was truly breathtaking, Seljalandsfoss (the waterfall we were able to walk behind) was awe inspiring, and the black sand beaches of Vik were really stunning. Our guide Denis did a good job managing and entertaining such a large group for so long, and I was really impressed with how smooth the driving was. My recommendation to future travelers is to bring extra layers. At some points on the tour I was warm in a long sleeve tee and other times I was wearing a puffer and a rain jacket at the same time. And bring a rain jacket for the water fall because you will get wet. Incredible tour with sights you cannot see anywhere else. Read more

    This was simply a perfect tour! I did three separate day trips with BusTravel Iceland, and while the other tours had more geographically stunning stops, this tour was amazing because of the small group where I was able to meet other travelers and our incredible guide Joseph who struck the perfect balance between giving us interesting tidbits of information while also letting us peacefully enjoy the scenery and music during the drives. My favorite stop and something that I will never forget was the time at Friedheimer. That is such a special place with delicious tomatoes, a charming restaurant, and the cutest little Icelandic horses. Also my time at Sky Lagoon was incredible (better than the Blue Lagoon) and it was very convenient to have the transport there and back included with this tour. Thank you so much Joseph and Bus Travel Iceland for a great day! Read more
