I had an excellent experience on the 6-Day Minibus Tour Around Iceland from Reykjavik. On the morning of Day 2, our original guide unfortunately suffered a stroke. The Troll team handled the situation with exceptional professionalism and care, keeping everyone informed and ensuring a smooth transition while a replacement guide was arranged. We were relieved to learn that our original guide made a good recovery.
Our new guide, Pawel, turned out to be outstanding. He shared fascinating insights into Iceland’s history and culture, chose unforgettable stops at some of the country’s most breathtaking landscapes, and communicated clearly about schedules, meeting points, and food recommendations. To top it all off, he even seemed to bring us great luck with the weather!
Overall, I highly recommend Troll for any excursions in Iceland. Their professionalism, organization, and quality of guides truly made this trip memorable.
This trip with Troll Expeditions was great. Jöhann was an excellent guide. You wouldn’t feel that he has done the same trip so many times as he treats the group with the almost excitement and energy. The trip was well chartered and all the accommodations provided at various location were really good.
On these trips the guide makes or breaks the trip in my opinion. Elli completely made this trip. He was full of knowledge and recommendations. He loves his job and that shines through and benefits all who go on a tour with him. We saw and experienced countless wonders in Iceland with the unforgettable trip. The glacier hike had to be one of our top expeditions though, and Edgar and Pare were both fabulous guides for that as well. This trip is absolutely worth it.
Great ride, the seats are a little tight given it is a minibus. Stays are decent.
What I like is that the driving speed is constant and careful. Very scenic spots but a little too rush at certain spots.
What I think could be improved is that I hope for more guide explanation of the site rather than just driving, drop you off and ask to come back after x minutes. Many of the driver are foreigners as the demand of tourism increases, will be good to gain deeper knowledge on the different sites. We never get an aurora call in any of our stays so reasearch on your own how to spot. We catch plenty and it was an amazing time.
Overall, we are happy that safety always come first.
Loved walking on the glacier! We were lucky enough to see a reindeer and also a humpback whale on the whale watching trip.
The trip was amazing!! Our guide Erla is very nice. I enjoyed the whole time I was in the tour. We were very lucky during the tour and managed to get almost everything Iceland’s Ring Road tour had to offer in winter. Our guide always helped us to get to experience as much as possible and also taking care of our comfort all the time. She is also very informative about each place too! Not to mention the jokes and funny conversations we shared with her during meals and on the bus with our group members. Thank you for the great tour Erla!!
Good small group size and comfortable mini bus. Driver/tour guide was professional and friendly. Lots of independent time to roam and explore the various tourist sites. Highlight would be climbing the glacier. Would not recommend the whale watching, takes too much time and is too cold in the winter.
Accommodation was pretty basic, breakfast seemed repetitive and quite limited options, some travellers experienced bathrooms without hot water but that problem was resolved promptly.
Our driver - David Ingi - THE BEST - Kept everything on time. Full of knowledge. Fun. And most of all safe - with some crazy January weather, nothing could have been more important.
Transport - the bus was clean and in good condition
Accommodations - basic but clean. Most hotel staff friendly and accommodating.
Meals - breakfast included - basic toast, cheese, meats, yogurt, cereal etc. Lunch sometimes a full meal, sometimes grab and go from supermarket. Dinner could be limited choices at a country hotel or sometimes more options - ask driver in the morning so you can plan your day!
Stops - all phenomenal. Stayed at each site for the right length of time. Saw all the major highlights. We didn't see the northern lights, and after day 1, we no longer cared - Iceland has so much more to offer.
Winters Tips - take good ankle covering boots and take your own crampons for the times they aren't mandatory
Most amazing and memorable experience with our guide Jon. He was knowledgeable, funny and looked after us!! The tour with Troll expeditions is great as it is packed with activities with no wasted nights in reykavik. It takes away all the hard work and stress of organising activities and driving esp in icelandic winter roads! The only reason for minus one star is due to poor accomodation. Only day 2 and 4 accomodation were of decent/acceptable standards. The worst one was at guesthouse Gerdhi, the rooms weren't ready at 3pm arrival time, they gave us twin singles as a couple and the rooms were small and had vaulted ceilings that was so low it was like sleeping under the stairscase in harry potter and you would hit your head multiple times (to give you an idea, I'm 162cm). I would actually rather pay more for better accomdation as really takes away from an amazing day coming back tired, cold and wet to a place you can't comfortably rest in.
Great tour of Iceland. Palli was our guide and he was knowledgeable and entertaining and he had a background in geology. We were a group of 18 travellers and the minibus we went in was reasonable. I can't say if smaller groups would also travel in a similar vehicle. We stopped regularly for toilet breaks and points of interest which made the bus trips between stops seem short (approximately 20 minutes to 1 hour) except for the last legs of the journey where we drove for approximately 2-3 hours due to the distance between stops which was ok. Palli gave great explanations of the places we visited on the way to each place and gave us free time to roam the locations. The tour was organised and well structured. Iceland is very scenic and great and I managed to see the northern lights at one stage. I would recommend this tour.
What a trip this was! My sister and I initially signed up for a 6 day minibus tour in mid December of 2023 because we wanted to have some fun sightseeing, and thought Iceland was perfect for that. We later extended it to the 8 day tour because we enjoyed the tour and the company we had.
After getting to Iceland, I requested to be picked up from the Marina hotel and Troll Expeditions arranged that for us. Our wonderful guide was Johann, who was a great part of why our trip was so fun. He's kind, passionate and super knowledgeable about the destinations and the places in between. I loved the small cultural and historical commentaries he gave when we were travelling from place to place -- I've learned a lot! He also showed us a few places along the way that he thought were interesting, which is a plus.
The destinations on the travel list were so cool. We saw many waterfalls (some partially frozen!) and a few beaches. My absolute favorite parts of the trip were the glacier hike, the ice cave, and the vok baths. I'd love to come back in the warmer months to see how the landscape changes! I got so many pretty photos from this trip.
I give this experience, guide, accommodations, and the flexibility of Troll Expeditions a 10/10.
What stood out apart from what’s been catalogued:
1. Bang for the buck as all the logistics are handled well without any hassles or anxiety. We could focus only on the experience and creating memories.
2.Attention to detail specifically to our vegetarian dietary requirements. Oskar- our guide , friend and team leader ensured this first in all our hotels,pit stops,etc.Kudos!!
3.Flexible and Adaptive itinerary: Impromptu weather changes necessitated flexible itinerary. Oskar and his team co-ordinated seamlessly to accommodate changes and ensure nothing is missed out!
4.More than just a tour- We did this tour during the new years. Apart from the excursion, Oskar managed to chip in with great trivia, taught us some Icelandic idioms and belted some bangers in the music system. The warmth, energy and the warmth of Team Snowstorm culminated in us celebrating the new years in true Icelandic style- with fireworks
In toto, the whole experience led by Oskar was exhilarating, lots of hiking and a trip to remember for the ages!!
