Quick, half day tour to the beautiful waterfall. About 90 minutes at the falls, which was plenty. Our guide was informative and stopped above the town for us to take pics of the ship. Great time!

    Fjords & Waterfalls

    The scenic drive to the falls was beautiful and the guide was very informative. Quiet surprised the gift shop where the let us off charged us to use the restroom. You literally had to tap your credit card to gain entrance. We so enjoyed hiking through the site looking at the birds, foilage, and waterfalls. We have wonderful photos to remember this day.

    Small group tour, the driver was great, he was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the area along the way. Views at the waterfall were amazing.

    Beautiful water fall. Enjoyed seeing how homes were built using natural materials. Landscape is always beautiful driving through Iceland.

    Awesome tour to Godafoss Falls and the Turf Farmhouse

    Karin_F, Sep 2025
    It's wonderful! Be sure to have good shoes and windproof clothing! There's so much to see between the two points that it's well worth it.

    Never again

    This was canceled by the tour operator and Viator did a very poor job informing us. It was the one thing we were very much looking forward too. Horrible expe

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Dear Amie_B, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we completely understand your disappointment, we would like to reassure you that, as the tour operator, we did our best to keep you informed about the cancellation. An email notification was sent five days prior to your scheduled tour, followed by an unsuccessful phone call attempt a day before, to make sure you were aware. Had we been able to connect with you, our team would have been happy to offer advice or suggest alternative options to help make the most of your day. However, we are pleased to see the matter was resolved with a full refund issued by the booking platform, and we are truly sorry for any disruption this may have caused to your travel plans. We hope the rest of your trip still brought you many memorable moments in Iceland. Kind regards, Andreea

    Wonderful Experience in Akureyri

    Teresa_S, Jul 2025
    We were upgraded to the Diamond Circle Tour in Akureyri when our tour was cancelled. It was offered at no additional charge which was exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour as it covered a variety of interesting areas of Akureyri. Our guide was outstanding and very knowledgeable.

    Godafoss Falls no show.

    Our tour was cancelled by the tour operator and in my opinion Viator did an extremely poor job of informing us and arranging an alternative. It was a mess. I get it things can happen, but more should have been done on their end to rectify the situation.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Dear DA_O, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us and our apologies for delayed response. We regret that you felt inadequately assisted by the booking platform, please be assured that, from our side, as a tour operator, we do make every effort to keep our customers informed of any necessary amendments by issuing an email notification, followed by an SMS and a phone call closer to the travel date. While we understand your disappointment and appreciate that you may have expected greater support from your booking platform, we are confident that the matter was addressed appropriately. As we are unable to investigate this further without identifying details, we kindly invite you to contact us directly at info@bustravel.is should the issue remain unresolved. Kind regards, Andreea

    The Godafoss and Lake Tour

    DINAH_P, Jul 2025
    We had an amazing time! We saw so many types of terrain, waterfalls, geysers, trees, mountains, sheep, and the people of Iceland are caring, sweet, and welcoming!

    Comfortable and well organised tour

    Ross_M, Jul 2025
    The tour was led by Steinunn and the driver was Michael. We had a great time. The tour was well organised and Steinunn was a helpful and friendly guide. The coach was well equipped and the seats were comfortable.

    Great

    Amazing experience with waterfalls and geothermal mud pots. Just beautiful. My first trip was canceled and was offered an upgrade. Such a blessing.

    Entertaining & Educational

    Amanda_C, May 2025
    Viking Vicky and Captain Cowbell provided a great experience. Vic's commentary, information and stories were delightfully enjoyable and they even performed an Icelandic folk song for the group. <3

    Wonderful Experience

    KathleenDiedrich, Aug 2024
    E didn't go on this tour. They cancelled this tour and upgraded us to a 6.5 hour tour to Godafooss, the pseudo craters, the Dark City, and the Námafjall Hverir. Kjartan, our tour guide, and Eugene; the bus driver, for our upgraded tour were wonderful. Kjartan was very informative and entertaining. Godafoss was an amazing waterfall--my favorite in Iceland. The Dark City was unique and full of folklore.

    Worth it.

    The waterfall, beautiful. Before reaching it, if you visit the nearby cliffs, it is preferable to be careful not to slip unintentionally. If there is good weather, it is possible to go down to the foot of the waterfall itself; it is absolutely worth it, but it is also necessary to take into account possible slips.

    An unforgettable experience with Travel Bus in Iceland! 🌟

    sabrina_c, Jun 2025
    We took part in an excursion organized by Travel Bus during our trip to Iceland and we could not be more satisfied! The organization was impeccable from the first contact: clear communications, punctuality and maximum availability from the staff. Our driver and guide was not only very professional, but also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Icelandic territory. During the tour he told us curiosities, legends and historical information that made the experience even more engaging. The landscapes we visited were simply breathtaking: towering waterfalls, geysers in action, expanses of lava and views that looked like something out of a movie. The bus was comfortable and perfect for tackling even the most adventurous stretches. A big plus was the small number of participants, which made the excursion more personal and relaxed than mass tours. We highly recommend Travel Bus to anyone who wants to discover Iceland in an authentic, safe and exciting way. We are already looking forward to coming back!
