Best Trip in Iceland - Once in a lifetime. You have to go on this trip. A long day made completely worth it by the unbelievable beauty of Iceland and the people who live there. Our tour guide Flosi was a fountain of knowledge and so welcoming to all. He went above and beyond and made sure we were able to see some incredible sights. The Glacial Lagoon is breathtaking, words can’t even describe how incredible the view is. On our way back to Reykjavik, Flosi was finding the best spots to stop and see the Northern Lights, a part of the trip that is not guaranteed but welcomed when the Earth and the Sun are working together. Shout out to our driver Maciej as he stopped 4 times for us to see the Northern slights and drove over 750km. Amazing people! If you’re in Iceland and you have a day to sightsee, this trip is a must. Thank you, Ben and Bex

Not bad, once in Life time is cool - Pros: You don't drive with snow and ice. That's what Mr. Q is for, advancing snowplows without blinking. On the bus goes warm.it is reasonably comfortable. We've seen Northern Lights on the way back. Cons: Price It's 14h or more travel. It depends on the weather. They say don't eat on the bus. But in most places tb indicates that you do not eat your own sandwich... and outside it is cold!

Iceland landscape-Winter Wonderland - I was there in the winter. The experience was quite amazing, to see lava fields, glaciers and icebergs . Diamond Beach is so unique. It was a very long trip but there were some nice scenery on the way. I would have loved to see more things on the way or stop where there were other interesting areas such as the lava fields.

HORRIBLE. Beware of terrible customer service - Horrible communication and customer service from Viator. I would honestly give 0 stars if I could. They don’t communicate the pick up time and hide the important information in a pdf. The start time on the mobile ticket and under the meeting point instructions ARE WRONG. We were standing at our pick up point right outside our hotel at 7:15am on the day of the schedule tour, November 4, 2024. We waited until 8-8:15am and the tour hadn’t come yet. I called the tour operator and they said they marked as us no shows because the tour pick up was actually 7:00am, NOT 7:30am. They said to call Viator and I called Viator immediately. I was informed that in order for me to know about the 7am pick up, I had to click on a “printable PDF” link and not just the mobile ticket. However, I find it absurd that this information wasn’t shared in the mobile ticket and in the designated meeting and pickup point link. This pertinent information should have been shared across all ticketing options. Customer service was a joke. They denied my request for a refund on the same day of the scheduled tour. I’ve been on multiple tours with Viator and this was my first horrible experience with them. For all the other tours, the listed start times on the tickets were the actual pick up times. Honestly, don’t even bother booking this. Just get a rental car and drive to the diamond beach!

Fiasco! Dont bother to book with Viator - Fiasco! We have received an email, reminder and app message regarding the tour. We paid extra to be collected from hotel. Viator email said “collection from hotel or port 7.30 am” we waited 7.05 till 7.45 am nobody showed up. Then called tour company Reyjkavik excursions They said we should have been ready 7 am to be picked up! So we missed it! Last day of out Iceland holiday family of 4 all ready waited paid £603 total and disappointment! Tour operator blames Viator, Viator blames tour operator. Such a fiasco. We requested refund, however viator says , their email say be ready 30 min prior to start! Complete joke! Nothing or nowhere its been mentioned. We have evidence of all. Its almost fraud! Please be really careful. Reyjkavik excursions staff said it is a common issue with viator! Its not the first time happened.
