So many amazing sites on this tour

5.00This tour is fantastic. We visited so many breathtakingly beautiful places. The highlights for me were the Glacier Lagoon and Black Sand Beach. Just incredible, otherworldly places. Vjeran was both our guide and our driver in this tour and he was absolutely amazing, very well-organized with a great sense of humor and interesting to talk to. I can’t praise the tour and Vjeran enough. It was the highlight of our Iceland visit.
Incredible day tour with bustravel

5.00This is my very first day tour in Iceland, and I was lucky to have VJERAN as our guide—responsible, warm and incredibly friendly. Thoughtful and humorous, he shared plenty of Iceland’s history and geological features on the bus, deepening my understanding of this one-of-a-kind, precious island. What touched me most was that he took us to several unlisted spots beyond the scheduled itinerary, going out of his way to help us experience more of Iceland. I’m truly grateful for his effort.
A must- see

5.00Really nice and patient guide Vjeran!! Took us to many beautiful places. What a view!
South Coast is a must visit!

4.00South Coast is stunning! Amazing views! This was a large bus tour versus a small group; however, the bus was clean, comfortable and the WiFi worked well. It’s a long day but worth it to see and ride the boat on glacier lagoon. My husband and I loved Selandjfoss (I know that I spelled it incorrectly!). Tip - definitely wear rain proof pants and waterproof hiking shoes for the waterfall. Our guide on the bus was very good but the driver was another story. He had to slam on his brakes from following too closely and continued to drive in our opinion recklessly. Also, we wished that Vik was a longer stop.
Amazing tour! Best tour guides we had in Iceland

5.00Andrea and Halli were the best tour guides we had in Iceland. We had a few other tours with other companies and we enjoyed this one the best! They kept bringing interesting topics for discussion during the drive to make it entertaining, they even put some music on and told some nice stories on the way.
Phenomenal day tour to the Glacier Lagoon!

5.00Addis was a phenomenal tour guide! Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, especially during such a long tour (a 14+ hour day). The glacier lagoon was absolutely stunning, and Addis & our driver made sure to give us the best possible weather windows for fantastic photos and stops along the way. Super great communication (I appreciated Addis' jokes) and time-management throughout the entire day, and overall such a memorable experience—I highly recommend, and learned so much about Iceland along the way, and picked up some Icelandic music recs from the bus ride too :)
