    Golden Circle Tour Day Kerið Crater was great even with some pretty foggy weather. Friðheimar Farm could be removed in my opinion as the limited daylight hours in December meant that once we finally arrived at Þingvellir National Park (4:30pm) it was pitch black and we couldn’t see or do anything. Throughout the day we also saw Gullfoss Waterfall (stunning and VERY windy) and Geysir Hot Springs (the main water blowhole explodes every 3-5mins). Overall the day was very good and our tour guide Zack was awesome but would’ve preferred a more exclusive itinerary to match up with the limited daylight hours. South Coast Tour Day This tour day was INCREDIBLE. My only feedback would be to start this day an hour earlier. The 9:30am pick up meant we didn’t get to the first place until 11:30am meaning we did lose a bit of daylight driving however our tour guide Addi was amazing and reshuffled the stops around so we did Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Reynisdrangar Cliffs, Vík Coastal Village, Sólheimajökull Glacier, Skógafoss Waterfall and Seljalandsfoss Waterfall in that order which meant we got to see everything before it got dark. 11/10 would recommend this day tour to anyone!! Northern Lights Tour Unfortunately for us, our Northern Lights Tour was cancelled twice due to bad weather. BusTravel’s was very accommodating in rescheduling us for both nights and then a third night. Although the tour did go ahead on the third night we unfortunately didn’t see any light activity. We would love to commend our tour guide Karlo as he did everything he could to hunt the lights for us. Logistics The pick up points everyday were very organised (ours was bus stop 6) and the driver called our name out when the bus arrived so you were never wondering am I on the right bus. There were plenty of toilets throughout each day tour and plenty of stops to buy food and souvenirs. The buses also have USB charging points. Make sure to rug up if you’re in December and expect to get wet as Iceland weather changes quickly! One minute it was sun and then next to was hailing. Overall we loved our time on these tours as you can see in the photos.

    Very disappointing customer service of BusTravel Iceland. Due to bad weather conditions our cruise ship could not dock in the port of Akureyri. This was only known a few hours before the start of the excursion. Initially we would lose our money, later it was offered to participate in the excursion at a later time. Because our ship sailed on, and I can never travel to Iceland again due to health reasons, this is an offer that I cannot accept. The bottom line is that BusTravel Iceland took my money and I am left empty-handed through no fault of my own. Iceland is beautiful, please put it on your bucketlist. Unfortunately the hard earned money that BusTravel Iceland stole from me also remains in my memory of Iceland.

    Northern Lights: nice bonfire and hot chocolate, but I think they could go further away from the city, we went to a relatively close place. South Coast: incredible tour, very beautiful places. I only found very short stops in places, it could have been longer. Snaefellsnes Peninsula: simply perfect, no defects, nothing to complain about. I went in a smaller group, in a van, and the experience was sensational. Each stop more beautiful than the last. I must give a formal compliment to the guide Siggi, who only made the experience even more unique, with his incredible stories, funny jokes, tips and sensational stops. It was the best day of my entire trip. Golden Circle: I liked the tour, nothing to complain about either, nice guide. The Wi-Fi in the vehicles works very well, professionals are super attentive, pick-up at the hotel works at the agreed time, super practical and efficient. I highly recommend Bustravel Iceland, excellent value for money!

    The tours are excellent and the guides are all very nice and funny. But don't trust that the company will let you reschedule your northern lights tour in case you don't see them on the first one. When I tried to reschedule mine they simply told me that they were sold out that day. Terrible experience with customers service.

    From start to finish, this trip was well organized and did not disappoint! Communication was frequent & consistent before and during my stay, providing me the reassurance that my party was in good hands. This tour spoils you with seeing the most breathtaking views while under the care and supervision of natives passionate about the beauty of Iceland. Great bang for your buck!
