Great experience - We have just finished the tour today. Tony is one of the best guides ever, very informative , but also relaxed and with a great sense of humor. If you ever plan to take this tour, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The sights are amazing, the tour takes around 8 hours, it was very well organized, it covers all the points it promises and gives you a great time. I highly recommend it.

Great tour, beautiful locations - We went on a full day Golden Circle and Kerid Crater tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of different tours and tour operators available but very happy with the service from BusTravel Iceland. Everything ran smoothly and on time, staff were helpful and provided lots of interesting information without being overbearing. Stopped at 4 different sites and had enough time at each without being bored. Would happily book another tour with them.

Great way to take advantage of Iceland’s long days - I consider £65 for an 8 hours trip great value but others (including my husband who didn’t go) may not like so long on a coach with 50 strangers. Paco our driver and Daniel our guide (originally from NY US) were great. The info about the sights and the timings were great. Toilet on board but plenty of consideration to toilet stops so no need to use. Coach very nice comfortable and clean with great wifi only thing that could be an issue is that no power points in seats to charge devices - just 1 usb and 1 micro usb by driver. Maybe some drinking water on board would have been a nice touch.

Golden Circle trip - Matt (m-dawg) and Albert (a-train) were a great team, herding all 35 or so of us through several stops in very beautiful places. Matt spoke ina clear voice and was very easy to understand. It was obvious he loves Iceland and it was contagious! Thanks for the great trip!!

Vivid, fun, and educational experience - Hopefully, I picked the correct tour. This was a full-day (about 8 1/2 hours) experience of some of the most beautiful and interesting sites available within reach of Reykjavik. We were picked up at a bus stop that was a 15-20-minute walk from our apartment. The bus was comfortable and led by our guide Matt and driver Mariusz. (No outlets on the bus, so arrive with a full charge on your phone.) Matt was funny and did a great job keeping us together and well-organized to optimize our enjoyment of the day. The official stops include the Kerid crater, Gullfoss waterfall (on tectonic plates!), Geysir, and Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park (where Viking chieftains met for parliament back in the day.) The organization of the tour allowed us to take an adequate amount of time sightseeing and accounted for the care of basic human needs. Our driver was impressively skillful, even with some on the road rivaling the likes of New Jersey drivers. We are very glad to have done this tour, which helped us experience the country vividly and educationally.

Adventure awaits - What an amazing way to start our adventure in Iceland! Our tour guide, Asa, was so helpful and peppy and informative. She did every walk &/or little hike along with us and provided information on everything and everywhere we went. Amazing.
