This is my 1st tour in iceland out of 4 tours during my 10 days excursion in Iceland for the 1st time. East view is the tour company. I thibk it is the best one out of the 4 other tours for a few reasons. 1) they announced the driver's name, highlight the color of the van they are pick you from and the license plate to you beforw the pick up which I think ia super helpful. Even though, their gold van is more dark bronze color but having the other information helps me find the driver easier. There are many tours going on at all the bus stops..for a 1st timer, it can be overwhelming. So the details are appreciated. 2) the guide who is also the driver introduced himself very well once everyone is on board. He faces us while doing that before he start driving. I think that is very nice. He also asked us to briefly introduced ourselves, just name and where we are from so we know who are with us for a long 10 to 11 hours tour. My guide is simon adolf H. And no, the H stands for something different. :) he is 53 and is a dad, and a local born and grew up in iceland. I love his vibe, he is cool, told very good history and stories about true crime and ghost stories. I enjoyed them. He is a great driver. He is also very good in managing the group of I think, 17 people. He kept us entertained and often follow us to all the sights and stops. He is really a great guide. Many guides dont go with you to every stop or know how to manage a big crowd well. It is a skill, I think to be able to do that but keeping it very entertaining. He also made sure he told about the next stops, what to expect, bathrooms stops for safety pee (i love that because most guides just assume travelers know how control their own bathroom breaks but we all need reminder that sometimes, restrooms are not nearby). He even take us to a nice coffee shop woth reallt good coffee and carrot cake. He is like a dad figure, a bit intimidating but it a good way, you know you are in good hands. I would go back to iceland ans check into east view travels directly due to this tour. Snaefellsnesis is beautiful, the cliffs are just epic. It rained quite a bit but I still enjoy the tour very well and that is all because of Simon. He made everything fun with his great narration and has a dad sense of humor. I think this is my favorite tour out of 10 days
