We joined a Golden Circle day tour with BusTravel Iceland today and had such a wonderful experience! Our guide Anna was amazing – very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly and shared lots of interesting stories about Iceland, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. She was also very thoughtful and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the journey. The pace was perfect and never rushed. I feel like I’ve seen her name recommended before, and now I completely understand why. Highly recommend Anna and BusTravel Iceland if you’re visiting Iceland!

I’ve taking a lot of tours and Anna was absolutely at the top for the experience she provided. Friendly, funny, amazing story telling, patient and easy to connect with immediately which is impressive for such a big group. Our driver Gregor drove us around safely and kept the bus comfortable and clean. Highly recommend this Golden Circle experience. I wish I could have Anna guide us around the entire country!
