  This was such a great tour! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and it was the perfect way to see and experience Iceland 🇮🇸 as a solo traveller. The tour guides were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and very informative. The accommodation was good, and the breakfasts were excellent. I had an amazing time, met some wonderful people, and got to experience so many beautiful parts of Iceland. I would highly recommend this tour, especially to solo travellers. It was worth every single cent! 😊🇮🇸❤️Show more

  This tour hit all the same spots as other tour buses so the value is spot on. Iceland is simply beautiful in terms of the views, the canyons, the geothermal formations and other otherworldly atmosphere. The tour guide did a good job driving and keeping us safe. I was picked up at a bus stop close to my hotel I booked a day before the tour. At times, I wished I had more time to visit some places, etc; sometimes i had 30 mins to 1 hour to see everything. Due to Iceland's unpredictable weather, we had an incident where some activities were cancelled due to ice/snow on the road. Often times we were grabbing food on the go because I had to juggle sightseeing, using the restroom and having a meal. I went in last week of may to 1st week of july; the weather was snowy, sunny, and rainy so pack the rain pants. The reason why I gave 4 stars is my last day was cancelled due to weather. The breakfasts at most hotels (meats, veggies, fruit and even dessert) except for the last one (Hotel Cabin) were truly exceptional. The hotels selected are pretty desolate in terms of location but maybe that's how iceland is? Also, if you're going in late may, be prepared for like 18 hours of daylight to like 20 hours in June.Show more

  Absolutely loved the tour and fell in love with Iceland. The 8day tour enabled us to take in all the major highlights of this incredible landscape. The only hiccup was the last day trip to Landmannalauger when we did not stop to pickup breakfast on the way (as was indicated) and there was no proper food available on site for lunch. If we had known before hand we would have come prepared.Show more

  Thank you for your kind words! We’re so pleased to hear you loved the 8-day tour and the beauty of Iceland. We appreciate your feedback about the last day at Landmannalaugar — there is normally a grocery store stop on the way, but for some reason it was skipped this time. We’ll take a closer look to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Kind regards, BusTravel Iceland

  The 6 day tour is great. The 8 can be tiring... Specially for senior tourist I would recommend the 6 days and then see if you like to do the day trips before or after. We did relaxed before and after at blue lagoon and then sky lagoon. It was great way to start and end the trip. BusTravel did a great job with itinerary, adapting to weather conditions, and guides. Enjoy Iceland!Show more

  For clarity, the 8 day trip is the 6 day trip with 2 single days tacked on. Four of the 15 people on the bus for the 6 day tour had purchased the 8 day tour. My recommendation is to book a 6 day tour to start, and then choose rather than be allocated 2 other day trips to ensure you get what interests you. Day 1 (of 8) at Snaefellsness peninsula was worthwhile but covered a lot of ground so we got back late (after 10pm) to the hotel provided as part of the tour to find it is unattended and we had to check in by phone to get entry codes. The rooms were noisy and hot and it was a half hour walk to central Reykjavik. We had no dinner. This would not have been a problem if we didn’t have a very early pick up the next day. The guide, Sigi, was excellent and provided a lot of interesting commentary about Iceland and life there. Breakfast provided at this hotel as part of the tour was available at 7am and we were picked up at 7am to go to Landmannalaugar so no breakfast either. The bus for this trip was old and not very comfortable and my seatbelt was not working properly so not really safe. We eventually got some lunch after the 5km hike from the 2 converted buses that were selling limited items. The roads are terrible and it is a long way. I don’t recommend this trip. The bus for the 6 day trip was very comfortable. There is an element of luck of the draw as to when you get picked up and we 4 were last. Inevitably we were at the back of the bus and places stuck throughout. Our guide, Thor was very good and the itinerary overall is very good too.Show more

  Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback – we truly appreciate it. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the overall itinerary and that both of your guides, Sigi and Thor, made a strong impression with their knowledge and commentary. We're also pleased to hear the 6-day tour bus was comfortable and that the main tour met your expectations. That said, we sincerely regret the logistical and comfort issues you encountered, particularly on the first day and during the Landmannalaugar trip. Your comments about hotel check-in challenges, early pick-up without breakfast, bus condition, and the overall pacing are extremely valuable. We understand how these factors can impact the experience, especially during a busy and scenic itinerary. Regarding the structure of the 8-day tour: your suggestion to allow travelers more control over the additional days is well noted and appreciated. We’ll share this with our team as we continue refining our packages to provide a smoother, more personalized experience. Thank you once again for traveling with us and for your constructive input. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better experience next time. Kind regards, BusTravel Iceland

  This isn’t really an 8-day tour — it’s a 6-day tour bundled with 2 separate day tours (so more like 6+1+1). That’s not made clear when booking, and it leads to some avoidable issues. The website does mention that the itinerary order may vary depending on your start day — but that sounds like a logistical routing detail, not a warning that you're being placed on three different tours. The 6-day portion was fantastic: amazing scenery, friendly guides, and comfortable accommodation. Some stops felt longer than needed (like a 30-minute gas station break where the driver washed the bus), and others felt rushed — but overall, a solid experience. After day 6, though, things became frustrating. The tour ended around 2pm, but I wasn’t told the next hotel was self check-in only, from 3pm, and required a pin code — which I never received. I had to call the hotel to get access. On day 8, the included breakfast couldn’t be used due to a 7am pickup. Initially the company dismissed this and after i pushed the issue further, they provided a small refund. The most awkward moment came on day 8 when the driver was clearly annoyed I had luggage. I explained I was on an 8-day tour with the company, but he told me I should have contacted them. Even worse — the van had no luggage space, so we had to awkwardly lift my suitcase into the cabin and place it on a spare seat, in front of all the onlooking day tour guests. I was the only 8 day person there. If the van had been full, I don’t know what would have happened. It was very uncomfortable and embarrassing. My advice: Book the 6-day tour only — it’s great. But skip the full 8-day version. You’ll have a better time (and avoid confusion and awkward moments) by booking your own Reykjavik hotel and any extra day tours separately.Show more

We sincerely apologize for the awkward situation with the luggage and any frustration caused. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience—it helps us identify areas for improvement. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a smoother experience in the future. Kind regards, BusTravel Iceland
