    Very disappointing customer service of BusTravel Iceland. Due to bad weather conditions our cruise ship could not dock in the port of Akureyri. This was only known a few hours before the start of the excursion. Initially we would lose our money, later it was offered to participate in the excursion at a later time. Because our ship sailed on, and I can never travel to Iceland again due to health reasons, this is an offer that I cannot accept. The bottom line is that BusTravel Iceland took my money and I am left empty-handed through no fault of my own. Iceland is beautiful, please put it on your bucketlist. Unfortunately the hard earned money that BusTravel Iceland stole from me also remains in my memory of Iceland.

    Northern Lights: nice bonfire and hot chocolate, but I think they could go further away from the city, we went to a relatively close place. South Coast: incredible tour, very beautiful places. I only found very short stops in places, it could have been longer. Snaefellsnes Peninsula: simply perfect, no defects, nothing to complain about. I went in a smaller group, in a van, and the experience was sensational. Each stop more beautiful than the last. I must give a formal compliment to the guide Siggi, who only made the experience even more unique, with his incredible stories, funny jokes, tips and sensational stops. It was the best day of my entire trip. Golden Circle: I liked the tour, nothing to complain about either, nice guide. The Wi-Fi in the vehicles works very well, professionals are super attentive, pick-up at the hotel works at the agreed time, super practical and efficient. I highly recommend Bustravel Iceland, excellent value for money!

    The tours are excellent and the guides are all very nice and funny. But don't trust that the company will let you reschedule your northern lights tour in case you don't see them on the first one. When I tried to reschedule mine they simply told me that they were sold out that day. Terrible experience with customers service.

    From start to finish, this trip was well organized and did not disappoint! Communication was frequent & consistent before and during my stay, providing me the reassurance that my party was in good hands. This tour spoils you with seeing the most breathtaking views while under the care and supervision of natives passionate about the beauty of Iceland. Great bang for your buck!

    Loved the 3 x trips we took with BusTravel Iceland, we were so lucky with the weather each time & saw some incredible sights - highlights including the Secret Lagoon, waterfalls, glaciers and of course, the elusive Aurora. Busses were efficient, clean & reliable and the drivers / guides were polite, friendly and very informative. Would recommend!

    Normally I don't write review for the tours that I went. If they rendered the services according to the itinerary stated which I think that is just the usual services what I paid for. I had an excellent trip with my guide, Rachel on the tours and she is knowledgeable and helpful. One more thing that I would like to compliment is the follow up on the Northern light tour on that day, I would receive an email informing me the bus number when there is a change of bus, I was not checking my email, they called up my mobile to inform which I am very grateful that I did not missed out on the tour. Overall I am happy with this company operator and would recommend anyone to use them.

    [Removed in Moderation] We took the 4 day Northen Lights, Snæfellsnes Pennisula and Glacier Lagoon tour. Bus Travel Iceland was great! Plenty of great sites to visit. Bus accommodation was very comfortable. Our tour guide, Siggi, for the Snaefellsnes Pennisula tour was very engaging, funny, helpful and knew the answers to everyone’s questions. Siggi is the best tour guide! You should ask for his tour. You will be so glad you did!
