We have spent only 3 full days in Iceland, and this was one of the trips we have decided to go to. It was a great day right from the start till the end. Our guide Siggi was professional, knowledgeable, well informed, funny, sharing a lot of information from the history and everyday life of today\'s Iceland. The tour is packed with many beautiful places, worth to see them all. Read more

My husband and I booked this tour when another company cancelled theirs. We had a fantastic time! We were, by many years, the oldest in the group and found the 8km roundtrip hike to be moderate to a bit challenging. Our guide Dave was great, providing lots of information at every stop and during the climb. Kalman was our driver, a knowledgable addition. I will say, definitely dress for the weather. It was significantly colder and MUCH windier at the top of the mountain (about a 300 meter vertical difference). Highly recommend! Read more

My girlfriend and I were on this tour with guide Geri and driver Kris. I am a geologist and had some idea about the nature of Iceland - I participated in a UNESCO conference when the Reykjanes Geopark was approved years ago. But Geri\'s lecture fascinated me with his erudition and I learned new things. His knowledge of various topics (from plate tectonics and volcanism, to the vegetation, climate of Iceland and the local culture) is truly impressive! I will recommend this wonderful tour of Bus Travel to friends! Read more

Really really really baddddddddddddd experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I booked four trips through BusTravel Iceland official website. I confirmed with them about the free pickup point for the trips on their website page. Their reply is as enclosed. After confirming that I will be picked up at Bus Stop 12, I booked those trips. However on my last trip to "Ice Cave and Glacial Hiking", I realized that the meeting point is not as stated in the email they replied previously. Though they had "Skaftafell" mentioned in their title, we thought we would be driven there by the shuttle bus from BUS Stops because of their email. We were totally misled by their previous email. We asked for refund but they refused and didn\'t even apologize for the misleading message they sent previously. Is there any way to commit lawsuit or push this case? I posted a lot of travelling photos in Iceland on Chinese social media and received a lot of feedback. But now I am considering posting this bad experience. It really made me and my friend frustrated. We are students and this travelling fee in Iceland is actually a very large amount for us. We came here because we love here but now we feel disappointed because of this tourism company. Read more
