So far, me and my husband booked three tours with Bus Travel Iceland. They were all amazing, but this was probably the best one! It takes a very long time to arrive to the Glacier Lagoon, but it is worth it! Diamond Beach is magic, and the boat ride on the Glacier Lagoon is fantastic. I would really recommend to pay the extra for the boat ride, because it is a unique experience. Our guide and driver were great and really kind. We had a fantastic time!
