Really wonderful day out to see more of Iceland - Great selection of places to stop!!! Every stop was trying to appropriately and we were able to get lunch at the one stop since it was a long day. Truly loved all the places we stopped.

Klein Island - On this tour to the west coast you can see everything there is on Iceland on a peninsula. It starts at 8am by minibus (much better and more flexible than the big coach. You drive more relaxed and you can stop for photos Unpacked on the track. All listed lake attractions are approached with enough time for photos and walks. We had a great crew on board from various. countries and had a lot of fun with our guide. The slightly different tour than the south coast tour. My opinion this is better.
Thanks to Andy

Spectacular - Absolutely amazing, this was our favorite tour during our visit to Iceland. The scenery is stunning, photos don't do it justice. If you like wild and fairly barren places this is the one for you. being with a small group made it feel more friendly and our tour guide was brilliant. We used BusTravel Iceland for several tours and they were great every time.

Daytrip around Snaefellsnes peninsula - Planning and communication with the company was easy. Guide and driver Tony was attentive, adaptable, entertained us with information and knew the best way to get to the good spots. It was a wild (!) blustery stormy day, but Tony planned it all like clockwork. He was able to bring us to Kirkufjell just as the weather cleared up (slightly) and the sun broke through - magical timing. Most of all, Tony is "safety first" on treacherous icelandic back roads and rough terrain, therefore everyone felt secure with his guidance. Highly recommend this guide and the bus travel company.

Fun despite the rain and wind!! - We were excited to see all the stops and beautiful places. We were not prepared for the rain pelting us sideways or the winds literally blowing many from the group all over the parking lots. We greatly appreciated our guide, Bryndis. She was cheerful, jovial which was needed and very knowledgeable!!

Lazy seals and active challenges ... - Our guide was Siggi and he is probably the most energetic and outgoing person I ever met! He's originally from Iceland and had a ton of fun and interesting stories to tell about the country, culture and his personal life in Iceland plus lots of fun facts about everything and anything. Maximum enjoyment!
The beauty of the peninsula was absolutely incredible. Just stunning.
We saw a bunch of seals chilling on a beach - I had never seen seals before and it was the most amazing thing! They're cute and lazy!
We saw lots of waterfalls (even walked behind one!), coastlines and took some serious challenges. (Who is fit to go on an original Icelandic ship? Who can find the best stone??)
To find out more about these challenges... book the tour!
To me, Snæfellsnes is now my favourite part of Iceland.
100% recommended to take this tour.

Addi made the tour even better! - We did this tour first before doing the Golden Circle. It was so spectacular that it made the GC look Ho-hum. The views along the way and at the stop locations were glorious. Our guide, Addi, was the best! He let us know often where we were heading next, how long the drive was and what we could expect. He had the perfect combination of history and lore. He was the highlight.
