Very relaxing

The 1st day was very relaxing, even a little bit boring. Maybe more suitable for elder people or whole family. The 2nd day was a bit more intense. We did some hicking, but not for long. Our guid Cristina was super nice and cheerful. Overall I enjoyed my trip and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something less intense.

The name of the tour can be misunderstanding

The tour itself is named "2 days Snæfellsnestour" . What did I expect was to be picked up and stay with those people who were with me in the bus all the time . It wasn't like that. It turned out I was the only one who booked a 2 days tour... all the others (we where about 8 people I think) only booked a one day tour. So at the end of the trip they went back to Reykjavik while I was dropped off at a Hotel in Borgarnes. I mean I got my own room (It said there will be double rooms) But since I was the only one staying there from this tour it was awkward to sit alone in the lobby and eat dinner and also breakfast on the next day alone ... The next day I got picked up by another guide and I met another group of people. The people were nice and awsome at boths tours and I made friends on boths days. However I wasn't happy to be the only one who stayed (without knowing anyone) at the hotel and it was impossible to get in touch cuz there were only families and friends staying there together

Our 2 day tour was amazing! Both guides were excellent and full of information and found additional sites for quick stops when possible. Highly recommend!!
