Insanely crazy ride and great visit to Landmannalaugar. - It was in a word: WONDERFUL. Picked up in Selfoss by van, visited several waterfalls, the Haifoss mega gorge being the most imposing. Perfect not to have undertaken this with a rental car, because it was a bumpy road. The 5 km. hike in Landmannalaugar was impressive and doable for us as 60+. The hot bath afterwards in the spring you just have to do. On the way back two stops at beautiful viewpoints, one of which is on the edge of a caldera.

Amazing trip! - It's really amazing the whole trip. The guide was friendly and took us to a secret place which was the Valley of Tears. It's a hidden gem. The hiking was not that difficult but the weather really depended.

Breathtaking landscape ! Magic!! - We did this tour independently. I strongly recommend it. Mesmerizing landscapes and fantastic hiking. At the end you are rewarded with a free bath in the geothermal natural pool situated at the camping base. Priceless, after hiking almost 20km.

Excursion Landmannalaugar - We made a day trip to Landmannalaugar with Bus Travel Iceland. Our guide Alain was amazing! Very cultured and full of respect with all the participants, he knew how to surprise us, tell us stories, anecdotes, explain us some geological phenomena. At the end of the hike we were able to go swimming in the hot springs of the site. A very appreciated moment! Several stops on the way and back to show us waterfalls, or a lake... which made the ride less boring (4h30 go and as much rau around on average). We enjoyed a very pleasant weather and a top guide who made this day incredible! We recommend! Elsa de la Team France

Best tour ever - Wonderful landscape, perfect tour timing and mesmerizing waterfalls. We also had a 2-hour-long hike! Loved it so much. Our tourguide - Roman - told us a lot about the country, explained everything in detail. He took good care of all of us and he has a very good sense of humour. This tour was the highlight of my trip.

Mixed feelings - We were called 3 days before the tour to say it wasn’t available on the day we booked. They didn’t explain why or even apologise, they just asked us what other days we could do, luckily we could go the day before. Once we were on the tour, we had an amazing day, the scenery is mind blowing!

Only an OK experience for our group - I was excited to go into the inner part of Iceland, but this trip was only OK. Had done ice climbing and snorkeling, and this seemed to pale in comparison. Bus driver was aggressive and really tailgated other cars; hike was good but short. Seemed like a long drive to get there for an experience that was not a WOW. Stops along the way (waterfalls, crater) were OK ... but we saw way better waterfalls and craters/cinder cones in previous days. Seems like a lot of time and money for not an amazing day.

Trash Company and Racist tour guide - Bus travel Iceland is your first choice if 1. you wanna face discrimination. Yes, the tour guide is a racist. He discriminated against Asian people. 2. you have another tour scheduled at night and want to miss it 3. you want to be dropped off at the wrong place 4. you want not being picked up. We joined this tour on Sep 29, 2025 to Landmannalaugar and we waited at the hotel lobby. During the period when we were waiting, we kept checking outside to see if any tour bus had arrived. However, we still missed it. Fortunately, a hotel staff helped us to contact with the operator. Otherwise, we would be left behind!!!! Landmannalaugar is fantastic, but the bus sucks. It stopped in the middle of the road when returning to the city. I understood it was an accident. It took almost a hour to fix it. If you have scheduled a Northen light tour at night, PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE this trash company. Its broken Bus will ruin your schedule. Hotel pickup / drop off was one of my consideration when choosing a tour. The 1st drop off point supposed to be my hotel. The white couple who were siting in front of me said they would like to go downtown. The tour guide said okay and then my drop off point was skipped. The conversation between the couple and the guide was that: Couple : is the 1st drop off point close to midtown? guide: no. Couple: pleas drive me to (somewhere in downtown) Throughout the conversation, I cannot recognize any word that the 1st drop off point would be skipped. When I found my hotel was passed and raised out, that guide ignored at first and blamed us not to voice out, and rejected to drive me back to my hotel. Racist and shirking responsibility, perfect match. lol Dropping a guest to hotel which indicated in the itinerary, is an impossible task for guide in Bus Travel Iceland, especially he is a racist. Conclusion: Other operators are capble to offer similar tour and even better experience, why take the risk to choose this trash? I am not the last victim of this trash company and the racist tour guide. Go to trustpilot /other forums, you will find out more bad comment. Note: That trash company must claim they are innocent. I don't care anymore as i had moved on. Plus, dropping me to a wrong place and rejection to rectify their mistake is a FACT.
