This was another amazinh trip organised by Bus Travel Iceland. Our guide, Alan, was incredibly nice and knew lots of things. He explained to us many new things about Iceland and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. We visited all the places showed on the map, but we had to skip the black beach as the road was closed. We went to a crater instead. The best place visited, for me, was Londrangar. The day was sunny and nice. We loved this tour!
