Top Iceland Bus Tours

Ottar was our tour guide for the day who shared his love of icelandic music and history on the drive and got us to the many stops safely. He also ensured our safety at the stops as many were slippery due to constant rain. All the stops were amazingly beautiful and so glad we took this tour. This is an all day 11+ hour tour with a good amount of walking and on/off bus. If you dont have good mobility, this tour is not for you. There is also time to stop for lunch, if you dont bring your own or grab something at the gas station stop.

The pickup point was easy to find and only 5 min walk from my hotel . The tour guide was punctual . The mini coach bus was comfortable. There is a bathroom stop in the beginning- use it because that’s the only time you will be able to. They provide wool blankets which are so cozy. They also give you hot chocolate with a pastry which was delicious . The guide kept us informed at all times . He was honest from the start saying it’s not a guarantee to find the lights but we’re gonna try our best and have fun while searching. Seeing the stars was amazing. We finally got a glimpse of the northern lights it was faint but it was still there and that was enough for me . The guide took our professional photos with the lights and the photos came out amazing . We posed for many pictures. I received the photos in less than 2 days which was great. It was truly a magical experience . Book it !

If you are considering this tour, book it—and hope you get David as your guide. He was outstanding: friendly, professional, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Icelandic geology, history, and everyday life. As someone traveling with a mobility scooter, I was especially grateful for David’s help at every stop. He carefully and cheerfully assisted with getting the scooter in and out of the van, making the entire tour feel accessible, smooth, and welcoming. His support was never made to feel like an inconvenience—it was simply part of the outstanding service and genuine care he showed all of us. David turned a beautiful sightseeing day into a memorable experience. He kept the journey entertaining between stops, explained the significance of each location in a clear and interesting way, and made sure the group was comfortable and well looked after. The Tomato Farm was a special highlight, while Kerið’s vivid crater lake was spectacular. We left with amazing photos, great memories, and a much deeper appreciation for Iceland. Five stars without hesitation. And I could not recommend David more!
