What a great day! The weather was on our side today too. This is the second trip we have taken with Bus Travel this week and I would recommend. The Golden Circle Tour was excellent today, our guide Beggi kept us entertained between stops with his knowledge of Icelandic history and his humorous stories. The sights are amazing and I would definitely recommend this trip

Daniel was an excellent tour guide. I learned so much about Iceland and its many wonders! Well worth the trip.

Golden Circle trip

Cynthia_G, Apr 2024

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!!

Amazing

Keri_L, Mar 2024

Amazing trip! Made all the more memorable by Dennis, who was fab: knowledgable, funny and engaging. Highly recommend.

Beautiful tour

Malissa_G, Feb 2024

Beautiful tour. But I think a minibus tour will offer more. Be aware the bus driver doesn't count people so be on time at the bus. The tentonic plates stop would have been nice to have a bit more time. As there is a circular route. Which needs to be done fast walking within the time given.

Golden Circle

Donna_H, Jan 2024

The interesting facts shared by Joe the guide were both entertaining, and educational. He was quite knowledgeable. What a lovely geo-thermal paradise.

Amazing

Superb tour, highly recommend

Sarah_B, Jan 2024

Fantastic tour. Bus pick up was seamless and we had a great tour guide and driver (Dave and Simeon). We saw some wonderful sights and it was a very memorable day. Thanks so much for all the commentary, we learned a lot about this wonderful country.

Do this tour--and during December--if you're brave

deebee5422, Dec 2023

This tour provided the real introduction to Iceland--in terms of the term "ice" because it was absolutely freezing with whipping winds. But, I wouldn't change a single second of the experience. In fact, upon arriving to the crater, I sat down on the ice (because I knew that I would've fallen down and/or gotten blown down by the wind) and put on my crampons. Then, so many of us waited by the geyser but she kinda sorta didn't really cooperate--but it was a really nice bonding experience to help others get up/stop from from falling along the way. The guide was so fun, knowledgeable, and friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

Definitely recommend! Great way to see the real Iceland for first time visitors!

Daniel_M, Dec 2023

Jennifer and Paco were a great team. Paco welcomed everyone on board and kept us safe driving through some terrible weather conditions. Jennifer was very knowledgeable and answered everyone’s questions. She made us feel like we got to see everything we should do to get the most out of the experience so we were really glad that she was our guide for the trip. They were very organised and communicated the times for each stop and kept us to schedule and although it was a jam packed day it was thoroughly enjoyable!

Thank you 👍

Beckie_H, Dec 2023

The perfect way to see some of the main spots of Iceland in a short time frame. personally, I felt the time spent at each place were spot on and you didn't feel rushed. Guide was knowledgeable and approachable, sights were phenomenal.

Cheaper than alternatives

Joel_H, Dec 2023

This was an amazing experience, taking us to so many interesting and wonderful places. The guide was super informative and made the travel much more enjoyable than expected. The sights were breathtaking + the extra stops were amazing. It is an amazing way to spend a day in Iceland, especially if you want to see many places quickly with a short overall trip duration.

A tick for a first time traveler to Iceland

Andrita_M, Nov 2023

The highlights to me were the geyser and the Kerid crater. The Thingveller park had bad weather and low visibility. The waterfalls were beautiful.

Fab sites, great value, great guide, fantastic day

Victoria_C, Nov 2023

Fantastic trip, great value, couldn’t have asked for a better guide Beggi. Great locations, saw some amazing sights, lots of historical facts in between sights from our guide, even a traditional Icelandic song from Beggi. Felt very safe at all times with our driver, overall I can’t recommend this trip enough. Thanks so much for a memorable trip, From Victoria and Marty Cosham

Amazing Trip, Amazing Value for Money!

Shannon_L, Nov 2023

Pick up was bang on time and organisation of the pick up was absolutely fine - they called out your name and you hopped on the bus. Tour guide and driver were excellent, so lovely, chatty and had lots of knowledge to share. The tour itself was amazing, Iceland is a beautiful place and every stop was absolutely beautiful. They even squeezed in some time to see/feed some Icelandic Horses. I felt there was plenty of time at each stop to admire and get great pictures. Every stop minus the Kerid Volcanic Crater had places to eat and toilets. Would absolutely recommend, this trip is amazing value for money.

Must Do!

Joseph_M, Nov 2023

What an amazing experience, great full day excursion with some wonderful memories and photos. Communication from the company is excellent. Pick up and drop off was extremely easy. I felt safe during the drive with our amazing driver Jon, busses are also new, comfortable and clean. The tour guide Rou was amazing, you could tell he loved his job and had great passion for the tours and his country. Date: November 14th 2023 If you can only get one excursion booked this is the company and this is the tour! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❤️ 🇮🇸

Well worth the money

Margaret_M, Nov 2023

The crater. So colourful and dramatic. Walk around the crater a little scary. Glossfoss waterfall was spectacular

Fantastic experience from start to finish 👏

Melissa_M, Nov 2023

Done this tour 4 times but this was by far the best. Tour guide Runar and driver Aron were absolutely fantastic. The knowledge that Runar demonstrated was unbelievable and we found it fascinating 👏
