Aurnie showed us some special spots on this beautiful peninsula. The attraction is the beauty of the scenery. Rock formation, the coastline, black beach and the extinct caldera were highlights. Great tour

We took 3 day tours while here in Iceland and this was our favorite...our tour guide Thora was awesome!!! This tour included lots of stops that are not as famous or commercialized as some of our other tours but the scenery of the west coast took our breaths away!!! Highly recommended!!!

Normally I wouldn’t book a coach trip but as I had onto a few days to experience this wonderful country I thought that the best way would be to use a local company for their knowledge and to see as many places as possible in the short time there. I wasn’t disappointed in what I saw but what is frustrating is that you are on someone else’s schedule and didn’t spent long enough time in some places and too long in others imo. The coach driver was friendly but wasn’t very talkative and I think we did miss out on some of that local knowledge. Despite this I would recommend a small coach/ party instead of a large one. Yes it’s costly but you aren’t navigating 59 other people and only a group of 17/18.

First of all thank you our guide that waiting us at the beginning of the day. We missed out meeting point because I didn’t notice message that sent a day before trip to pick up at bus stop instead of hotel that was chosen in Viator app. It will be better if inform us in advance since we booked. And weather was not that good since snowy cloudy sky, we couldn’t see Kirkjufell hiding under mass cloudy and at this stop guide didn’t come down from a van to lead us. The rest was good he skip the crater because of safety and led us to the safe place to visit.

The beach where we got out was extremely cold and there was a rather dangerous trek to the bottom due to the snow and ice. But the overcast snowy gloominess was very beautiful and made for some perfect photos. The tour, honestly, probably should have been canceled and refunded because the snow was so bad we couldn’t even see many of the sights we were supposed to see. The tour guide seemed knowledgeable but he kind of started the tour on a sour note because he was complaining about some of the tour participants who were confused about where they were to be picked up so we just had to wait a few minutes for them. Out of 4 tours we did this week we also had some confusion on pickup locations on 3 of them so I could relate.

Gil was a knowledgable and humorous guide. He took good care of us. The beaches and coastline were interesting.

This is a very organized tour. Our tour guide is very knowledgeable. The tour takes about 11 hours but we enjoyed the trip for the whole time and did not feel tired at all.

Very fast and enjoyable day exploring Snaefellsnes. I would highly recommend getting out of Reykjavik by taking a one or two day small group tour.

Such a wonderful day. My daughter and I saw sights we shall never forget. Tour guide was brilliant too. Long day, 12 hours in all but so worth it.

It could’ve been a super dreamy and awesome day, but unfortunately due to our guide Gudni it was just a “okay” day. He unfortunately didn’t managed to create a nice and pleasant atmosphere whit-in the bus and between the other passengers. The heather fore instance was way too hot, and after couple times of asking he still didn’t achieve to turnoff the heather. This took at least 2 hours (the trip itself was 10 hours). So imagine that you are starting your trip like this. The other thing I didn’t liked was the lack of leading. There were no clear comeback times and a lack of time management…
