    We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 day ring road tour of Iceland. It was amazing how many things we were able to see. Our driver Kalman was really knowledgeable and very considerate of everyone and their individual circumstances. We want to complement him on his professionalism and his respect and care for all.

    Awesome! I would definitely recommend others join this small group tour, especially during good seasons. Seats are quite comfortable even though several hours riding per day are necessary for the round trip. Our guide Vala is sooo considerate and skillful, she arranged daily schedules perfectly, u can see as much beautiful scenery as possible but less tiring.

    The 6-day Circle Road Tour of Iceland took us to many spectacular sites as we drove around the country. The changes in scenery along the way never cased to impress us. Our tour director was very friendly and knowledgeable about many areas of Iceland and it's history. There were a few times when a local expert would be brought in to let know and experience even more about a particular location. The bus was very comfortable and the windows allowed for seeing the changing scenery as we ventured through the country. Our accommodations every evening were very nice. There was no feelings of being rushed as the daily travels weren't overly long.

    Great bus tour to see all the must see sights around Iceland’s ring road! Tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions. Each stop along the way was so beautiful - the scenery was breathtaking! The add on activities are a must especially the whale watching.

    One of the best tours I have been on. Great tour, so many places and things to do packed into the 6 days. The tour group consisted of 8 travelers, including myself. I was very lucky and had a great tour guide, Andy who was so nice, friendly, patient, knowledgeable and made sure our group was well looked after. There were 7 other wonderful people who I was very fortunate to meet and travel with within our small tour group. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

    My recent six-day Ring Road tour in Iceland was an unforgettable experience, combining breathtaking landscapes, relaxing geothermal baths, and a bit of unexpected musical entertainment. Our accommodations throughout the journey were comfortable and well-chosen, providing a warm retreat from the cold. But what truly made the trip special was our tour guide, Thomas. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of enthusiasm. As a bonus, he could sing, which added a fun and personal touch to the long drives. Overall, this tour was a fantastic way to experience Iceland in winter. If you’re considering a winter trip to Iceland, I highly recommend taking this journey, it’s an adventure you won’t forget!

    Asked on March 10th, 2025

    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.

      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.

    • R

      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.

    I really want to snorkel silfra, is it possible to add this on?

    Other
    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.

      Louise

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      If you could let me know the cost as an extra, the pick up times etc, I can arrange an earlier or later flight.

    • BusTravel IcelandOperatorWritten December 2024

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

    Asked on December 20th, 2024

    I am interested in this group tour, but I was wondering what the estimated time would be when we arrive back at the airport? I plan on booking a flight that departs at 5PM back to my home country, and I see that this tour ends at 5PM. Is there any accommodation to get to the airport earlier (~3PM) or am I able to leave the tour earlier than the time it ends? If so, how?

      We do not drop off at the airport, only in Reykjavík city center. We will arrive in Reykjavík around 18:00. We highly recommend you to book a post-night after the tour, and leave the day after.
