A very enjoyable experience - Had a bit of hesitation initially when booking the tour, but it turned out far exceeding my expectations. We departed from Reykjavík shortly after 8am, and our driver / tour guide was highly motivated throughout the journey, engaging us with fun facts and history about Iceland (even if many of us were too shy to interact with her initially). She made a few extra stops just for us to take photos and get closer to nature. The view, without any doubt, was absolutely stunning like no others. Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful driver/guide - Our guide Thales did a wonderful job keeping our tour fun and interesting. He knew the great places to go and the info to go with them. He was happy, friendly and interested in his passengers. Between stops, DJ Thales had all the tunes to pass the in between time. He had music of interest to a variety of people from different parts of the world. This was the best tour of our visit.

Great Day! - We did a full day tour with Max on the peninsula out of Reykjavik. Our guide was wonderful. He was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and thoughtful. The bus was spotless and the sights were amazing. We saw a ton and hit many iconic places on our route. Would definitely recommend this tour, this guide, and this company.

A long day but worth it - Be sure to be well rested as this is a long 11-hour day (picked up at 8 and dropped off at 7). The driver/guide, Hildy, was excellent. Such a pleasure that she spoke fluent American English (she lived in Ann Arbor for a dozen years). She entertained us with tales from the Icelandic sagas. And she was very conscientious with breaks for the bathroom. A caution-- this is not a tour for folks who do not walk well or have bad knees. My husband and I were probably the eldest customers on this tour (in our late 70's and early 80's). Everyone else was young. Several of the stops require negotiating rocky downhill paths. Getting down to the black sand beach was challenging for me. But the long walk at Arnarstapi was via a nice easy path.

Great Guide. Amazing Sites. - Tour guide was engaging and informative. We saw many amazing sites. It was a long day, but the guide helped with the long bus hours by telling us about the culture, history, and places we were driving past and walking around.

Disappointing - Katerina was awesome. However, this tour was too much time in a minibus, people getting back to the bus well after the requested times, no seals, crowded and uncomfortable minibus, and I could have one something much more fun.

Regret for the tour :( - We signed up for a small tour of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, but ended up taking a large bus. The tour guide lacked even the most basic professional courtesy, driving with a blank expression and a stern face the entire way. He exceeded the speed limit several times, which was extremely unsafe and the car was jolting around in a frightening manner. He eats while driving. He did not give a detailed introduction or explanation of the scenic spots. Duration should be 12 hours, but only takes 10 hours which is cut 2 hours and arrives back early 6pm, and misses some attractions. Very disappointed with his rudeness and very unprofessional behaviour. My travel mood was completely ruined! The price is higher than other companies but the service is much worse. Regret for this tour on September 16, 25! It is not worth it. :(

Snæfellsnes tour - We went on the Snaefellsness tour, and it was the worst tour of the whole trip, a nightmare! If I had known I would have rather lost my money and not gone. They spent an hour late from the time they told us, told us it would be a small tour and it was 20 people and left us the last seats of the truck. The driver who was also the guide didn't know how to drive, crashed (literally) and gave banquets drove the truck at speed without noticing the stops and we arrived with neck and head pain, the places they took us to see were not worth the seal cooobia was only 1 seal, the waterfall not out of the ordinary, they took us to a church, which was closed and when the driver arrived he took us to fill the tank of gasoline, a lack of courtesy knowing that everyone wanted to get there already. Terrible I don't recommend it
