This is the best day trip we have done and we have done a few. What made it so great was the guide Siggy. From the moment we hopped on the bus he was joking and getting everyone in a positive and excited mood for the days activities. .As a native Icelandic, He was knowledgeable about Iceland's history, customs and culture and went the extra mile to ensure that we experienced the best day possible. If we wanted to take a photo he would stop, extra toilet break, he would stop. The trip itself was scenic and every stop was worthwhile with multiple photo opportunities. This trip was worth every cent and highly recommended. Thx again Siggy. Geoff and Joanne

We were blessed by a bright sunny weather. Our guide Alain was sỏ knowledgeable and kind. He gave us enough time at each stop to explore and get pictures clicked. At the end he gave the entire bus some icelandic liquerice chocolates as we well. 10/10 would recommend travellers to include snaefellsnes as well in their itinerary. It’s has beautiful views because of the landscape, cliffs and massive volcano fields.
