Genuine Insights from Our Travelers

The tour is perfect if you are looking to cover major attractions of Iceland. It is value for money and recommended if you are travelling to Iceland for the first time. The accommodation provided is excellent and the guide and the bus throughout was very very comfortable and guide was always available in case of any questions. Please book a tour guide with Ellert who is absolutely fabulous. I would recommend this trip to everyone who are visiting Iceland for the first time.

I went on this tour last summer, and the other day, I got a little nudge from the company to share my thoughts on it. More than happy to do so because we were really pleased with the whole experience. The pace was just right, and we’ve got some fantastic memories from Iceland. Highly recommend this tour!

The service, availability and support with questions were excellent. The second day after arrival was difficult, the program is certainly easy to manage in summer, as the day has more hours of sunshine. At the beginning of October it was a bit difficult to manage all the program points on the individual days, which was a shame. Nevertheless, the tour was super nice and I can only recommend it.

The tour was grand altogether. The guide was top-notch. The hotels were better than expected, and the food was mighty as well. Would've loved a bit more time at some stops, but sure, I get that we had to stick to the schedule.

That was a very good tour. Pleasant pace, no stress. But the big plus was the tour guide. He was excellent and very knowledgeable about Iceland. The weather cooperated - it was sunny and beautiful :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, it was perfectly organised and covered all the important spots to see. Our guide was excellent, accommodation is really great on the tour, and the bus seemed to be new. Highly recommended!

Booked this tour for our wedding anniversary. Trip was very well planned and enough time was given at each destination. Driver and the guide were super friendly and funny. Thoroughly enjoyed 3 days. Managed to see northern lights on first night.

I was a bit worried about booking this tour because there weren't many reviews, but I am so glad I did! My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the size of the tour group was perfect (17 people, so it was more intimate). Our tour guide, Guðren, was positively fantastic, and we appreciated her local insights and love for her culture. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This review should be read with the understanding that this was a package (Northern Lights Hunt) made through secret escapes.

Prior to this trip which is on many peoples bucket list the information was sparce. There were also concerns that a volcano was about to erupt and we had no information or updates about this prior to the trip.
Our easy jet flight was early so the transfers which were provided by another company were not there. However they did come earlier than expected and we were transferred to the hotel Klettur. I think a lot of the people in the tour get a basement room so there is no view and there were roadworks going on outside but it was comfortable enough and well situated for the restaurants and bars. At this point I think a welcome email from Snaeland would have been nice and a bit more information about the itinerary.

The next morning we were met by our guide in the hotel reception and we started the tour. The coach was lovely and comfortable and always kept really warm. What we saw over the next three days is too much to describe in this review but included several amazing waterfalls, being able to stand next to a glacier, a lake with icebergs, a seal and geezers.

We stayed in hotel Kria Vik which was lovely and in walking distance of some places to eat. Iceland uses Geo thermal energy so its cheap for heating so everywhere was warm and cosey. We were very lucky with the weather and it did not rain. When we were going from place to place the light would change all the time and the views were spectacular. We went out on the night with the least cloud and drove for about twenty minutes to a dark place in the countryside. The stars were amazing and we were able to see the Northern Lights but only through our mobile phones. Part of the tour which was an extra but was then cancelled was the blue lagoon due to the earthquakes. There was no alternative offered but we did get some money back.
The guide was very knowledgeable he had an amazing dry sense of humor, we bought loads of music and radio to listen too on the trip but did not use it as we were fascinated by all he had to say however sometimes a good morning or something may have been nice. He did not communicate directly with anyone during the trip but I expect that was his way.

So I went on a bucket list trip and did not have two of the main highlights the blue lagoon and the Northern lights. However I have to say this stunning unique country has made a real impression on me. I will never forget what I saw. The amount of amazing things you can see in a short space of time is unbelievable. It is a lot of money to pay for a short break but so worth it even if it parts don't go as planned.

Our driver Pall and guide Petur were absolutely fantastic. We learned a lot about the places we visited, and life in Iceland in general, with some great bits of humour along the way.
We had some last minute changes to our trip due to the strikes in Reykjavik but were always kept informed on what was happening.
When we return to Iceland again we will be booking with Snaeland Travel.

We hired a private minibus to take us to the wonderful national park and all the sights within reach of Reykjavik and some extra bread making and tomato-growing lunch spot at Fridheumar

Ziggy, our driver was fun, humorous, chatty, knowledgeable and a delight to spend the day with.
He even managed to stave away the rain at each stop, with it pelting down in between ( I think that was more down to knowing what to go to and when)

Highly recommend !

I am kalavathi, a lead traveller for a group of 14 friends who booked this tour. Unfortunately corona pandemic stopped our visit. We also booked airport pick up and drop. Right from day 1 until cancellation, the response to our queries was so promt and quick, I as the lead traveller was very much impressed. It really created a very good impression on me. My trip to Iceland in future will definitely go through snaeland travels only.

I booked a group trip for 12 people which Dagbjort looked after. The weather meant not one but 2 flights got cancelled and Dagbjort managed to move every single one of our tours around with one days notice, was on hand constantly going back and forth with a million questions from me and coming up with new ideas for the trip and to top it off then chucked in a 3 course meal on the house at an amazing restaurant. I got outstanding reviews from the people who went on the trip.

The tour guides were amazing, the transfers were prompt and easy to find & everything went seamlessly. I couldn't recommend this company anymore. And they are very reasonably priced too, at first i questioned why they were so much cheaper than other tour companies and it is because they have their own fleet which is also why when the weather meant things got messed up it was all so easy to sort out and i only had to contact one person. Amazing tour company and amazing staff!!! The greenhouse on the golden circle is amazing and so is the lava tour!

We travelled to the golden circle with SnaelandTravel and enjoyed the trip very much.
The driver was very competant and the bus clean and comfortable.
The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly with a good sense of humour

Utilised this company for trips to; Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon & Northern Lights hunt (yes, we saw them!) can’t recommend them highly enough, they do a great job. The drivers are confident on the ice roads as you’d expect and kept everyone safe at all times. The guides were very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English.

This tour is nonstop eye candy. The destinations themselves are any photographer's dream, and witnessing an active geyser was a rare treat that I will always remember. Downtown in the bus doesn't even feel like a break, because the Icelandic landscape you see during the entire trip is dramatic, dynamic, and mind-blowingly gorgeous. However, Marielle was a spectacular guide, and it is she who really made the tour truly exceptional. She was remarkably knowledgeable, told great jokes, and knew exactly how much to talk and how much to let us enjoy the scenery in silence. However, her strength really shines in that you can tell she genuinely cares about your experience. She goes above and beyond to see that you not only have a smooth trip, but that you have an unforgettable adventure. She helped a member of our group who had left his medication at home, and also made sure that everyone in the group got to know one another and become friends with clever ice breakers. Really, it was Marielle that made the tour great.

As we had a group of 12 and had private tours as part of our holiday package, we were taken round in a mini bus. Bjorn, our guide and driver, was always on time and couldn't be more informative/helpful - we couldn't believe the knowledge he had. The Golden Circle Tour packs much of what the area has to offer in to a day. The Reykjanes peninsula was also an interesting tour from a geographical perspective. The transfers we had with the company to and from the airport were hassle free also. All in all we had a great experience with the company and I would recommend the private golden circle tour.
