Worth it - So worth the long trip, all the sights were simply amazing and jaw dropping gorgeous esp Kirkjufell; guide Tony kept a tight schedule so we were able to visit all the sights in the itinerary

Snaefellsness Peninsula is a must-see!!! - This was by far my favourite tour of the 3 I took by myself. Our guide Sigfus (Sigge) was absolutely fantastic, super funny, knowledgeable, and caring! He told us lots of historical facts but also some "Sigge stories," which added to the whole experience. Even though it was a 12-hour tour, it didn't seem long! The Snaefellnes Peninsula is breathtaking! There's something to see everywhere you look! I would definitely go back there and explore a bit more! We made the most of the sunny but windy day we had, and I came home with some amazing shots. Most importantly, though, is that I got to see one of the most famous waterfalls in all of Iceland. A dream come true!

Iconic Icelandic Trip - A sunny day in Iceland is a bless. Our tour guide is Dooley, a welll knowledgeable and responsible guy provided five star service and fun to our trip. Since the extremely helpful weather, we were lucky to see sea lions and Icelandic horse on the way tho they are not on the list of our standard itinerary. My favorite part was not the list to go we fulfilled, but the detailed explanation of almost every single corner of the scenes on the road. I can’t express enough gratitude by words, you made ,y day!

All around Excellent! - This was a perfect way to start our Iceland adventure! The tour guide was knowledgeable, and the bus was great. It’s a tight fit for taller people but the seats were very comfortable. We absolutely loved it!

Breathtaking Scenery! - Addi was a wonderful tour guide/driver. He shared great stories with us and gave us lots of info. about the areas we were visiting. (He also helped me back up the hill from the beach, as I have a wonky hip!!) We saw so much. . . from seals to "stone trolls" to lava fields to magnificent black sand beaches to waterfalls, mountains and sea stacks. And we had just the right amount of breaks; it was a fabulous day!

Great! - Great experience despite the weather didn’t help. Sad to say that due to the wind we couldn’t visit the town that the guide told us that was different

A day on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula - Our guide Tony went above and beyond to make the day as interesting and informative as possible. 11 hours of driving and talking is no mean feat. He was charming and funny and very professional. We enjoyed all the things en route despite the awful rain and high winds. This was our second excursion and he made it the best.

A beautiful day but with an awful tour guide - Excellent driver, Ragnor. Excellent itinerary. Memorable places visited. A tour guide who barely talked except to the driver in another language !

Disappointed - If you want to book this tour make sure you will have a perfect weather that day as they will use it not to visit the destination. It was showering when we went. 11 hrs we were trapped inside bus, visited 5 resto but only 3 tourist destination. I asked about the the popolar triangle mountain, the guide just made triangle with his finger and said that it is the mountain. When I asked if we would go there he said "no, it is raining". In contrast, Our friend at the same time but with different company, did visit that popular mountain. He did not care that guest already spent alot of money to visit Iceland, once in life time holiday. If the rain was the problem, we all got wet when stopped at the beach anyway. It was wasting time and money. Not recommended.
