Well organized! Great way to see Iceland in a day! - Excellent and well organized trip! Tony was informative! The shuttle was clean and comfortable. We were picked up at the cruise port around 9:30am, pick up time was at 9am. I appreciated that there was an assigned staff at the port directing all the people waiting for the buses/shuttle as it was a little chaotic given the amount of people waiting. We spent around 30-40 minutes at each stop (geyser, crater, falls, and national park) and spent 1 hr and 30 minutes at the tomato farm/restaurant. The tomato soup, tomato cheesecake, and sparkling strawberry drink were all delicious. We were dropped off at the sky lagoon and picked up after 2 hours. All in all it was a fun trip!

Amazing tour - Sky Lagoon is a PERFECT ending - Really interesting tour that was spaced out perfectly. We felt like we had enough time at most of the spots. The guide Goodrun (apologies if I’ve misspelt it!) was informative and provided nice personal stories as we travelled through the stunning Icelandic countryside. Our highlights were the tomato farm and the Sky Lagoon, which is the perfect way to end a long day on the road. My only complaint would be that we spent a good 20/25mins dropping off the people who weren’t going to the Lagoon, which in turn affected our arrival time at the Lagoon. I think it would be better for the tour operator to drop the people who paid extra to go to the Sky Lagoon, then the remaining passengers at their stops. Not a major issue, just something that would have improved the day a bit.

A awesome, fantastic and unforgettable experience - We did the tour on a sunny 1-5-2024. Our group consisted of 10 people. Our guide was Sentry, a very nice, funny young man born and raised in Iceland. Sentry told us many interesting facts about the history of Iceland and the places we visited during the tour. Sentry answered all our questions patiently. We had plenty of time at each stop and never felt rushed. Sentry has done a very good job of conveying his love and passion for Iceland. Thanks to him it was a beautiful, fantastic and unforgettable experience for us. There was a very unpleasant incident during this tour. BusTravel Iceland responded to this very quickly and adequately and handled it to our complete satisfaction. This shows that Bus Travel Iceland is a very reliable organization.

Great stops on this Golden Circle tour - Excellent Golden Circle tour. So many to choose from, but we loved this one with the fabulous lunch stop at the tomato farm - truly gourmet. Our tour guide, Tom, was so knowledgeable and shared so much on Icelandic history and culture. He went out of his way to personally show us the highlights at Thingvellir National park. Great tour!

Fabulous tour - Had a great day with Addi showing us the sights and attractions that Iceland has to offer. Addi was very knowledgeable about the locations and historical facts of the area we were passing through or our destinations. There were some great views and photo opportunities along the way and at all the destinations on the tour showcasing only a small portion of what Iceland has to offer. With all the natural beauty on offer, it would be hard to tell you which was my favourite. Nature truly is an amazing and powerful entity. But what has been achieved and harnessed by innovation by the Icelandic population is amazing! Harnessing nature to heat their homes and businesses, but also to grow amazing plant based products. On the tour you will visit the tomato plant... you will not taste a better tomato, and you must try the soup, it's amazing! After a long day of travelling and sightseeing, the Sky Lagoon was a great way to unwind in the hot mineral rich water with a glass of wine...perfect!

Perfect day out - I learnt so much about Iceland as our guide Peter was such a nice guy and answered any questions we threw at him! The tomato farm and horse demonstration were unexpected delights and well worth another visit in the future. With a variety of ages and physical abilities Peter was very thoughtful in making sure everyone got the most from the trip. Perfect ending at the sky lagoon too

Views and food - We did a lot in one day. I really loved the horses and green house/Restaurant during the tour but the best part was being able to unwind at the sky lagoon. Definitely worth it.
