Skaftafell Tours

My friends and I were so pleased with this trip! The itinerary was well planned and we loved the freedom of seeing everything at our own leisure. Overall, I’d say that the guide was a good value for the money based on the quality of the hotels, rental car, and itinerary, but especially when you factor in the time saved from having to look into and book each thing individually. The spa Laugarvatn Fontana (day 3) is not to be missed, it was the highest quality and best price spa we visited on our trip. For my fellow vegans out there: there is a vegan option at each hotel, but you may find yourself eating falafel several days in a row. The vegan breakfast options are lackluster (as usual) just the standard fruit and toast, BUT the hotel on the last day has an incredible selection. The gas station/convenience store sandwiches are delicious and cheap and I ended up gladly eating them nearly every day. Black crust pizza in Vik had one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever had. Skool beans, also in Vik, is worth the visit too!

We had an unforgettable trip and our guide and driver was excellent. He showed us beautiful sites, was punctual at all times, and was able to pivot when weather wasn't ideal but still return back to what we wanted to see. Iceland is an amazing country and we were all very happy we had a knowledgable tour guide rather than trying to navigate it all on our own.

I booked this trip as a gift to my parents who are not seasoned or comfortable travelers. When I met them at the end of their trip they had nothing but great things to say about their adventures and these tour providers that helped them along the way. During my interactions while planning and managing the trip the company was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. I would definitely book with them again in the future.

I enjoyed all three tours and getting to experience the three different tour companies. I liked the small group feel of two of the companies. But I met nice tourists on all three trips. Unfortunately the weather was not good on the day trip to Snaefellsnes National Park so we didn't get to see everything on the itinerary. Nobody's fault. Elias at Nice provided good commentary along the way. Golden Circle was great. Lori at Your Day Tours provided excellent commentary and took us to a couple of short and unexpected stops. I met some other solo travelers and we became our own group. The trip with Bustravels.is was the longest. We ended up getting back about 3 hours late due to construction on the road. It was a beautiful day. I didn't know if we had wifi, not that I needed it as I enjoyed the scenery and commentary. I didn't see any USB or power outlets on the bus. But it was the most spacious. But the group was significantly bigger. I suppose I could do without the trip all the way to see the glacier if we knew the construction. I would have changed the order of the tours or maybe two weeks before have the chance if i wanted to change the order, if possible. Maybe Golden Circle, then Snaefellsnes National Park, then South Iceland? The other interesting fact is I had one nice family on all three trips.
