Fun activity. Captured... - Fun activity. Captured the essence of Iceland. Well planned day excursion. Timely departures. Covered all activities satisfactorily. Reasonably priced for duration and variety. The snowmobiling experience was extremely enjoyable. Helpful staff for donning and doffing gear. Was wishing could be of longer duration maybe for a little extra charge. Buses clean and comfortable. BSI ideal point of pickup and very accessible. Knowledgaeble driver. enjoyed this trip. Will certainly recommend to friends. Enjoyable.

Golden circle. Amazing day with snowmobile ride - The views was amazing every thing went well from the motel pickups and drop off to gearing up for the snowmobile ride with extra warm clothes and gloves. We changed busses at the waterfall the ride out to the Glacier in a giant 8x8 bus was quite an experience Our guide was Dylan he kept the day going and was very knowledgeable and compassionate about Iceland and its history. Thanks would do tours from these guys again

Highly recommend the glacier - This snowmobile trip is absolutely unreal. Highly recommend!! One of the best things I’ve done in Iceland, I’m obsessed! Dylan is an amazing tour guide. Sven was a very good guide on the snowmobile. Johann went out of his way to pick me up in the morning.

Transportation Inferno, Great Snowmobiling - The Snowmobiling part was Espectacular, 5 stars or more. Fun, professionally managed, full gear with great equipment. Unfortunately the transportation part of the trip, which is over 5 hours was a Fiasco. Our driver, nice and knowledgeable, did not know how to operate the bus temperature, what started as a cool 8 degree bus, turned into a over 26 degrees inferno(in the front, the back was significantly hotter. We requested the driver 4 times to do something about it, he opened the roof window, which another passenger closed. Additional to him not managing the temperature, he was loud in the microphone, twice I personally requested to lower the volume, I believe he did not know how to do so. He constantly cleared his throat at full volume over the speakers amd and took 3 personal calls whith the loudspeaker engaged at full volume. Unfortunately it destroyed any positive review I could have written. We got off the bus about 6 blocks before our stop, because of the unbearable temperature, and it was already 8pm outside.

The Day was a Mess! - The Glacier Snowmobiling we could have went but missed due to miscommunication on Viator’s part with the local tour service. Viator was unwilling to give partial refund .. so disappointed ☹️

Very bad. - Viator sent 7 messages on the day of the tour to be ready at 9 am. However the tour left at 0830. They claim that I have to wait half hour before. Of course this info is not stated. I sent a screenshot of the ticket also. So we missed it.

Fraudsters! - Fraudsters! Do not book you will be sorry! Booked this tour while I was in port on a cruise ship. They pick up half an hour earlier than indicated on the tour description and my ship didn’t arrive in port till the time indicated on the tour of 8:00. I frantically search and walked for an hour looking and calling and messaging your operator to be told that they had left without me. No phone call or text or option to meet at a different location. Then they refused to refund my money and kept $300! I literally booked this the day before arriving in port so they didn’t lose any money. This kind of business practices are disgusting and they should be ashamed for treating people like this when they come to visit their country. It’s fraud plain and simple. Don’t book this tour company. Viator has been horrible customer service as well and claims to need days to “investigate”??!!! 🙄 Don’t book you will be sorry you did.
