The trip was absolutely amazing by itself. What made it exceptional, was our guide Matt, who made it his mission to provide information about Icelandic history, sagas, objectives along the way and maybe the most important and memorable, fun facts about Iceland.

One of my best tour guide trips I ever had! Our tour guide was Matt also known as the king of fun facts😂. We learned very much and saw much cool stuff. The weather was sunny but windy💨 . At the end it was still a great tour with Matt and his buddy Ilie «The man behind the wheels», who was our bus driver. I recommend other people to also book tours for Snæfellsnes Peninsula.🗻 10 out of 10!
