Incredible day in a beautiful Country 🇮🇸! - Wow!! 11 hours and still needed more time! The trip included so much history and amazing sites! Finishing it off after an awesome day at the Hvammsvik Hot Springs with a great local beer was icing on the cake. Thomas was a great guide full of historical info to help you understand what you were seeing. Thomas was super flexible, although not on the itinerary there were Icelandic horses at the side of the road and we stopped and spent 20 minutes viewing these beautiful animals up close!! Great day and beautiful Country 🇮🇸 ! 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful sights and friendly guide - Hvammsvik was stunning! In the middle of nowhere, freezing wind but the hot springs were amazing. Dooley was a very friendly guide I enjoyed hearing his stories about Iceland's history, his own family life and how things have changed over the years in Iceland. The stops were spaced out well with enough time to explore and get breaks inside. Everything was smooth running throughout the day would definitely recommend bus travel Iceland as a company to tour with. We saw lots of cars that were stuck in the snow throughout the day which made me glad we had chosen a tour.

Amazing day out! - Need to give this 10 stars!! Great day with Nice Travel, the weather was awful but our guide navigated amazingly well! We got to see some fab sights, got to feed the horses and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, giving us local information all the way through the trip. The lagoon at the end was surreal! It was beautiful, so serene and private. You could have a little pool all to yourself! Dipping toes in the ocean in sub zero temperatures was a cold experience! Highly recommended!

Highlight of our trip - The trip was really good! We went on Friday 19/01/2024 and our tour guide/driver was great (Sorry can’t remember his name but he was from Greece) and was very kind and patient! The sights are great but the highlight of the tour (and our whole trip!) was Hvammsvik Lagoon! What a place! The scenes were breathtaking and whilst there were others there, it was definitely not a tourist hotspot and helped maintain an illusion of privacy and relaxation.

Get this booked... - Having a decent tour guide is essential for these types of activities and Omar was 5*. The journey, sights and lagoon were a perfect finish to our honeymoon.

Nice trip - Firstly our guide Bryndis was great, very friendly and informative. A large bus collected us from pick up point to take us to a central area to switch to a smaller bus I didn’t find the guy organising the large bus pick up particularly friendly. When we got on the smaller bus Bryndis ran through the itinerary and it was at that point everyone realised they had switched the order around and instead of going to Hvammsvik hot springs last the company changed it to first which was disappointing. Overall a good day and Bryndis did her best to make it a great trip but would have been much better with hot springs done at the end of the day. Apparently this is a switch for this tour with Bus travel Iceland at present due to Blue Lagoon being closed but I feel we should have been informed prior to the day.

A long but amazing day - It was a long day on the minibus but every stop was amazing. It was nice to be in a small group as things were generally less busy at the stops (at least until a big bus arrived!). The hot spring is just incredible. I think it depends which guide you get and how much information/anecdotes they share.
