5.00This was the best tour during my time in Iceland! I can’t recommend it enough, if you have the chance to do the tour with Helgi I really recommend it. He was an excellent guide, funny, informative and accommodating. The snaefellsness peninsula is a must see, if you’re thinking of renting a car to do on your own don’t — join one of these tours they’re incredible.

5.00It was a warm sunny day with minimal clouds when we went to Snaefellsnes peninsula which made the sceneries evem more vivid. Our driver/guide was Addi and he had done a fantastic job of accompanying us to witness the majestic nature. The highlight for me is the final stop around the Selvallavatn viewpoint. Addi showed us a surprisingly beautiful view. Thank you, Addi.
