      Poor value , not worth it
      We did the City Tour with Flyover and booked it via TUI at approx. £80 per person. For what it was..... a couple of stops where there is not much to see [a church, a scupture by the sea, the outside of a museum!]....the cost of >£320 for 4 people was an utter waste of money. The Flyover was quite good, which accounted for about £36 for each person out of the £80 per person. Overall the tour was a bit of a waste of time and money. Most of these things are easily walkable from where we stayed [Fosshotel, near bus-stop 12]. You'd be better off in all respects seeing these things - a tour is not really needed, certainly at that price.

      Fantastic, well organised tour that showed how amazing Iceland really is!
      A really well organised tour that took us to all the best spots! We managed to see so many amazing sights that were so much better than I expected, Glaciers, icebergs, waterfalls, geysirs, diamond beach etc Even though we saw so much it did not feel too rush, and we always had the right amount of time to walk around the area, sometimes 30 minutes, an hour or more, so you could explore and walk as far or little as you wanted. The hotels they picked were both good quality and in great locations. The hotel near Vik was especially great with amazing food, beautiful location and a sauna, hot tub and gym. You could sit in the hot tub till 11pm and try to see the northern lights. The guide gave us lots of interesting facts about the history, sights and culture of Iceland when we were driving around. It was nice we did not all have to walk together and you could explore where you wanted too. This tour was way better than I expected and I would recommend to anyone who has this amount of time in Iceland. We added the blue lagoon that I would recommend, and a northern lights hunt for our last night in Reykjavik. Our tour stared on 9th Jan but I forgot the guides name sorry!

      Beautiful Icelandic Adventure
      "We booked our trip through Exoticca (a company I definitely would not recommend!!!), but fortunately, they subcontracted to this amazing local company for our Iceland tour, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, the entire trip was meticulously organized, with every day filled with breathtaking sights and well-planned activities. Our tour guide was a true highlight—he was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland’s history, culture, and natural wonders, but also made the trip fun and engaging with his friendly personality and great sense of humour. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a memorable experience, answering all our questions and even sharing fascinating local stories and traditions. Each day was packed with must-see sights, from stunning waterfalls to geothermal hot springs, and we got to explore both well-known landmarks and hidden gems that really showcased the beauty of Iceland. Despite the busy itinerary, everything ran smoothly, and there was a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and learning. Thanks to this local tour company, our trip to Iceland was unforgettable, and I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to explore this incredible country! (just try to book direct and avoid the stress of Exoticca)

      Driver was a rude jerk
      First the good: The driver was a top-notch driver, very safe, following all the laws and driving carefully. I felt safe in the bus at all times. And he took us to gorgeous places, and told some interesting stories about the country. BUT... He was a Class-A JERK. He was extremely rude, miserable, and unhappy, and even not-so-subtly indicated that my friend is too fat to fit in their narrow seats. He also cranked the heat up so high we were all suffocating, and when we kindly asked him to turn it lower, he turned it OFF so we half froze to death. He wouldn't respond to the women who asked for the heat to be warm but not hot, but finally a man stepped up and asked, and then he made the temperature good. Sheesh! He was so rude that by the third day we were all secretly making fun of him and laughing at him, because we knew he'd have nothing nice to say. One woman had a medical issue and needed to get to a pharmacy for medication, but she was terrified to ask him, so chose to suffer instead. By the end of the tour, we'd decided that his wife or girlfriend had left him the morning the tour began, and he took it out on all of us. He didn't get one single tip. What a shame, because if he had been friendly, I'd have given this tour five stars.

      Unsafe Ride, unprofessional driver
      I booked a midnight airport transfer from KEF airport to Reykjavik for 6 people, including a 2 year old child. The driver failed to bring a car seat for the child. She made it clear that this had happened before in an attempt to downplay the situation; she also said getting a car seat from the company at that time of day would be impossible. Snaeland Travel has so far ignored my attempts to contact them about this safety issue.

      Private transportation to airport
      Booked transportation from hotel to airport with Snaeland. Driver was outside waiting with my name on sign. So easy! He was polite and informative! Van was clean and comfortable. I can highly recommend this service!

      Be very cautious booking with Snaeland Travel
      I organized a tour group of 17 from a Norwegian cruise. It was difficult to communicate with Snaeland.. Sometimes they would answer and sometimes not. They owe our group approximately $200 for overpayment. I have contacted them countless times for a refund. We haven't received it yet. First they said they had trouble with credit card machine. Then they said they would refund. I have given up. The driver spoke little English; therefore, it was like renting a bus. We had no communication. We didn't know what we saw or where we were going. There were some disabled people on our tour. The driver parked far away at one stop, so impossible to get to the bus. Finally communicated to him to pick us up. The overall experience was very disappointing. I would look elsewhere for a tour in Iceland.

      Relaxing transfer experience
      We booked Snaeland Travel to transfer 3 persons from KEF to Blue Lagoon to our hotel in Reykjavik. There was a slight delay in pickup at KEF which they immediately corrected but it gave us a chance to have breakfast at the airport after our red-eye flight and before getting to Blue Lagoon. We were able to arrive at the Blue Lagoon before larger groups arriving by the bus transportation. We were able to keep our bags with the car/driver while we enjoyed the Blue Lagoon experience for 2 hours which was enough time to enjoy the lagoon. We also used this company for our return trip from hotel to KEF. It was great to have that prearranged since we had an early departure flight.

      Secret Escapes Northern Lights hunt/Secret escapes
      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.

      We did two private one day tours, the Golden Circle and South Shore. Our guide Christian was great - really friendly, flexible on the route we did and the sights we wanted to see. Excellent all round

      Reliable Airport Transfers
      We used Snaeland Travel for airport transfers from Reykjavik International aiport to the cruise terminal, and return. The drivers both ways were very kind and helpful, vehicles comfortable and clean. They were prompt, with name signs - so easy to find, and handled our luggage - very professional. Highly recommend.

      Excellent company that drives you around safely
      Made a tour through TUI Netherlands and Snæland Travel was the company that transported us. The second day of touring with their Super Truck and experience that I will not soon forget. And the rest of the tour with the very sympathetic driver Kristian. A very experienced driver who knows the way well and also transported us safely over the unpaved roads despite having fallen ill during the journey.

      Airport transfer, Snaeland Travel
      I booked our Keflavik to Reykjavik transfer and return through Snaeland, and they were awesome! I corresponded with their office several times before I booked, and they always got back to me promptly. After booking, I had to change our pick up time and location, and again, they replied quickly, letting me know that they had received the information and made the changes to our itinerary. At Keflavik, our driver was waiting for us in the airport when we got out baggage claim. The driver for our return was prompt, friendly, and professional. There were 6 of us traveling together, so the price was very reasonable.

    To Whom It May Concern:
    Recently we had the opportunity to visit Iceland and we had a wonderful experience. We were fortunate to have Ziggy, a very experienced local driver.
    We would highly recommend using Snaeland Travel to arrange for drivers for your vacation. We traveled with our 15-year-old granddaughter, and we were impressed with the way Ziggy included her in our discussions.
    This was an amazing trip and Ziggy’s professionalism, and local knowledge was instrumental in making our vacation fabulous. We felt safe and secure in his care.
    We enjoyed touring Iceland so much that we have shared our wonderful experience with friends and family to encourage them to explore the wonders of Iceland and get to know its friendly people.

    Thank you for helping to make this trip a memorable experience for all of us!

    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.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We have been operating this tour since 2005, primarily as a wholesaler for other tourism companies. Only recently have we put extra effort into marketing our own tours online. This is why we currently have few reviews. We believe our products are excellent, and we appreciate your positive feedback confirming this.

    We are a youth travel and education organisation and we got in touch with Snaeland in order to organise an experience for a High School group from USA.
    For the process of preparing the Itinerary, Snaeland were very good, helpful and patient. We made our deposit and a few weeks later, but with a lot of notice, seeing the COVID was going to be a problem, we notify Snaeland that we needed to be careful and start talking about possible partial refund of deposit for which they told us that it shouldn't be a problem but that we should wait and see. Surely enough all hell broke loose and our client were forced to cancel the trip scheduled for Early June. We evidently refunded the client in accordance with our conditions. Snaeland on their end didn't back us up and didn't´t refund anything nor did they give us any alternative yet to this day.
