Thankyou Bus Travel Iceland. Just letting you know that our tour on Wed. 13/8/25 was FANTASTIC; the driver was safe and professional; the guide was courteous, helpful, informative, knowledgeable and humorous. The weather was pretty ordinary but the sights we saw and your staff made it a most memorable day. Thankyou Garry Colless
Awesome tour guide. Helped those who had limited mobility, but at the same time made it enjoyable for those who wanted more difficulty. Very entertaining. Small group.
We saw so many things and the guide was excellent. He was very informative and also funny. It was an enjoyable day.
The Traveling Viking has great tour guides. Inke was our guide. He grew up in the area and shared his interesting life and local sites. Our tour was scheduled for 8 hours, but we were able to a few extra stops (including seeing puffins!), and went overtime (but the guide was clear about cruise departure time). He clearly loves his hometown and the countryside, and his passion really came out over the tour.
Our guide was super passionate about the area. He went the extra mile to explain a wide range of topics with a sense of humor. He even squeezed in some extra sights. We did other tours in different areas with different companies and none were nearly as good.
