    We didn't know what to expect but wow! It was amazing! Our driver who asked us to call him HBO was wonderful. He provided clear direction and shared culture, music and his knowledge with us. he was always happy to answer questions. Iceland also sells itself - so much to see you can never get bored. Food options were always made clear. We had brought food from home but didn't need it - there was no shortage of opportunities to get familiar foods. We'd recommend this tour to anyone.

    Everything was great except the first few nights hotel room in the city. The tour and tour guide were excellent. The bus was good. Hotels were fine. Really enjoyed the country and the trip. Didn't like the Alva hotel, location was not close to city, hard to get into the hotel, and construction was around the hotel.

    Great way to see the north as well as the south end of the island. SOOO many waterfalls all with their own shapes and colors. Our tour guide, Kalman, was great. As soon as we stopped somewhere, he was using his resources to figure out weather, road closures, whether the puffins had arrived, etc. We met such a nice group of people and had an excellent trip. Be aware that you do stay at different hotels each night (but we really liked all of them, and all had nice breakfasts in the morning), so pack light so you can easily move from one to the next!

    We enjoyed this trip very much. Our guide and driver was Vala and Vala was great! She was knowledgeable and helpful, whether it was an arm to help balance or a phone call to change reservations. She was also an awesome driver! The diversity of sights we visited was very good, something for everyone, from rugged hikes, geysers and caves to warm water pools; horse farms to whale watching. I would recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in learning more about Iceland and if you're not interested in Iceland you should be!

    Asked on June 2nd, 2025

    Any possibility to add northern lights chase tour this 6 days package?

    Tour Details
    • BusTravel IcelandOperatorWritten June 2025

      Many of the hotels we use during our multi-day tours are situated in remote locations that are far away from light pollution, making them ideal for Northern Lights sightings. If the weather conditions are favorable, there's a high likelihood of seeing the enchanting display of the dancing Northern Lights during your tour with us. Most hotels also provide a Northern Lights wake-up call upon request at the frontdesk when the lights are observed. Please keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and we cannot guarantee their appearance, the best chances of seeing them occur between September and March when the skies are dark and clear.

    What time does the tour begin on May 18? What time should I book the flight home on the last day of the tour? Is it possible to book a pre-tour night? What is the cost? Can I book an extra night in Reykjavik at the end of the tour? Are airport transfers included at the beginning and end of the tour?

    Tour Details
    • BusTravel IcelandOperatorWritten March 2025

      The tour starts at 9 am on May 18th. It's possible to book pre- and post-night. The price for a Superior Double room at Hotel Cabin is 200 EUR per night. I recommend staying one night after the tour in Reykjavik, then you should be able to book the flight after. If you wish to fly in the same evening as the tour ends, then I would not recommend booking a flight before 9 pm. Airport transfers are not included, but it's easy to book them online or at the airport arrival terminal.

      We don't have another sale planned at the moment for this tour. You could book the tour now, then we can adjust the date if needed later, free of charge. Also, our cancellation policy is quite flexible, you can cancel up to 7 days before the tour date and get a full refund.

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      I know I have to do it myself, are you saying I can't book extra nights at the place I'm staying in Reykjavik?

    • BusTravel IcelandOperatorWritten January 2025

      This tour doesn't include any hotels in Reykjavik. The tour starts with a pick-up in Reykjavik and for the first night of this tour, you'll be staying on the South Coast of Iceland, not in Reykjavik. So for accommodation before the tour, you can stay at any hotel in Reykjavik, and we will pick you up from there. On the last night of the tour, you'll be staying in Northwestern Iceland. On the last day, you will be dropped off back in Reykjavik in the afternoon.

      Rita

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      So are you saying that if I book an extra day before and after the tour, I can check out of the accommodation that I have booked on the morning of the tour, take all my bags with me on the tour and then take me to my second designated accommodation that I've pre-booked?

    • BusTravel IcelandOperatorWritten January 2025

      You can book a hotel in Reykjavik before the tour, then check out of it the same day the 6-Day tour starts and bring the luggage with you on the tour. We will be taking care of the hotels for the next 5 nights during the 6-Day tour. Once we return to Reykjavik, we can drop you anywhere you like, and you can check into any hotel booked by you.

    Tour Details
    • BusTravel IcelandOperatorWritten December 2024

      You would need to add that activity before or after the 6 day tour. The stop at Thingvellir on the 6 day tour is only about 40-60 min, but in order to do the snorkeling tour at Silfra, you need 2 hours. We could assist you to book it as a pre or post tour from Reykjavik.

      The price is 201 USD per person. The pick up starts at 8:30 am. Duration 5.5 hours.
