Wonderful day in Snaefelsnes - Great tour led by Beggi & our driver Chris. Majestic sights and interesting back stories of Iceland culture. Beggi is very knowledgeable and entertaining as well as patiently answered our questions. There was a delay with the tender service from our ship and they waited & made sure everyone who signed up was accounted for. Highly recommended.

Beautiful views, excellent guide and bus driver - Wonderful tour! Loved getting to go to so many places and see so much of the beautiful peninsula in such a consolidated amount of time. Our tour guide Jennifer and bus driver were excellent. The tour provided alternative options for those with mobility limitations. Excellent option for cruise travelers. Convenient pick up and drop off location right at the pier and our cruise ship offered an identical tour for twice the price.

Delivered everything promised - Knowledgable guide - This was our 4th Viator / Trip Advisor excursion in Iceland and like the others, it delivered everything promised. We left about 30 minutes late because we waited for some other passengers who could not get there sooner tendering off the ship. The first waterfall stop was only a few minutes out of town. It was a bit underwhelming but the best we saw that day within easy reach of the parking lot. On the south coast, they are a lot bigger. The black sand beach was interesting and offered two levels of trail, one high up and reachable with wheel chairs and walkers and one down the steps to the beach. Views were very good. Restroom stops were well spaced. One of the most interesting stops was a 2.5km walk along the cliff tops to see huge colonies of nesting sea birds and great views. My wife was turned off by the distance but the trail was smooth and had minimal elevation change. At age 80 wearing an ankle brace and a walking stick, I had no difficulty completing it in about 30 minutes. The final stop was a historic church that was interesting but not exceptional. Our guide Jennifer was knowledgable and easy to understand. For the length, the tour was more expensive than our longer south coast small group tour but perhaps that was due to the remoteness of the place.

Nice tour - Saw some wonderful sites, walked on black rocks to see the ocean. Although the weather was rainy the opperator was very enthusiastic and entertaining.

Disappointing - This was our third Viator tour during our Iceland visit and because of the guide the worst.. The other guides were outstanding in every way. This one didn’t seem to understand how the sound system worked and as a consequence it was difficult to understand him if you weren’t in the first couple of rows in the van. The step into and out of the van was quite high making ingress and exit challenging. I saw what appeared to be a lower step below the step and asked him if he could use it and he said he had seen it and had tried to us it but couldn’t figure out how to do so. He drove past several interesting sites, man made or natural without comment and paid little attention to time. This should not detract from the other Viator tours we took which were terrific.

Cruise cancelled port. No refund. - Because of strong winds, our cruise canceled this scheduled port the day before the intended visit. It was in no way our fault and I understand that this operator needs to have a cancellation policy for certain reasons, but I won’t be using them again because of it. If the cruise ship doesn’t make it to the port, they should give a refund because that is their client base and we need assurances as well. Bad weather can cause ships to change course or ports in very short notices. I did receive a much lower valued tour in the port that our cruise replaced the stop with, but no refund for the substantial difference. Next time I’m just going with the ship excursions because at least we got our money back on those. It’s storm season and one of our ports were changed and two cancelled because of high winds (July sailing). I can’t take the risk with this company again. People need to know that in the case of a deterred ship, you won’t get a refund. I lost the experience of the visit, but lost money as well.

CRUISE PASSENGERS BCRUISE PASSENGERS BEWARE! They will not refund your money if the port is cancelled. - ATTENTION CRUISE PASSENGERS!! Do not book with this company. They will not refund your money if the port is cancelled. They clearly states that the tour requires good weather, but when our cruise cancelled the port due to bad weather they refused to issue a refund. I notified them immediately when I found out, just under the 24 hour mark before th tour was to start. We lost $380. They cater to cruise passengers, its a port pick up! I was shocked they handled it this way.

Will not refund, even if your ship does not stop here - Viator would not refund my money even though our cruise ship did not stop here. I notified Viator as soon as I was advised by my cruise ship that we would not be stopping. Due to weather conditions the cruise line was not stopping here. Viator said they could not and would not and was strictly enforcing the cancellation policy of must be canceled at least 24 hours in advance. We have been a customer of Viator for many years and very often book with them instead of the cruise lines. This situation will definitely hamper my willingness to book Viator again in the future.

Cancel your at last minute - Very disappointing that tour was cancelled less than 24 hours prior to start time with little time to rebook another tour as it was last tour of our trip.
