We were absolutely satisfied with the offered tour to the Snærfellsnes peninsula - a highly recommended must-do even for short stays. Our tourist guide and driver Michael was extremely knowledgeable, customer oriented and very friendly. A very positive experience. Many thanks, Brigitte and Thomas (Aachen/Germany)

Great tour with Michal our driver! Despite particularly difficult weather, we saw beautiful places, in a good mood and without stress! Thanks to him ! In the middle of winter, it's better with crampons on the other hand! ^^

We used holiday tours on Feb 20 to visit the Snaefellsnes peninsula and it was one of the highlights of our trip ! Tour guide was nice and informative and we had a wonderful day and seen so much beauty would recommend !

Excellent tour!!! Really enjoyed our guide, AJ! You cover a ton of ground so this is a tour I’d prefer to do over driving myself. Had some sudden bad weather that our driver navigated so well!

The stops were very good and the guides were excellent. We had a great time.
