Gorgeous tour and fun day! - This tour was beautiful. My favourite tour of the trip. Siggi was our tour guide. It was great having a local take us all around and show us some of his favourite spots. He had lots of knowledge about Iceland and I loved his personal stories too. He did a great job, it was like hanging out with a friend for a day.

Remember camera and raincoat - We were unable to see the volcano due to fog but all other sights we were able to take in. We were prepared for sun and rain and our pics were spectacular. Had lunch at an islandic restaurant and that was delish. Try the gas station hot dogs wrapped in bacon. Worth the calories and fat! Our driver was very good and reversed the route to try and give us less rain!

Fun time on the Snaefellsness Tour! - Tom, our guide was spectacular. He made the tour truly enjoyable by providing great historical context and Icelandic authenticity! I felt well educated when we were through and had a wonderful time. He was professional and knowledgable and I’ll add—we enjoyed his singing, too—as an added bonus! The sights were phenomenal and absolutely breathtaking. We were glad to have Tom as our guide. Great tour!

Great experience - The tour was really amazing: the scenery, the variety of places we visited, the beautiful natural wonders. It was a long day with several stops and quite some walking, if you wanted, but those that had to be mindful of not overdoing it, could take it easy. Tom was a very engaging guide and driver and made the day quite special. Thank you!

Inspite of the... - Inspite of the unpredictable weather, it was good to see all the amazing sights let alone climbing to the top of the volcano crater. That was an experience itself.
The drive was long and tiring.
