Trip went on in bad weather
Windy
, Mar 2020
The weather for this trip was too windy to even safely see the sights. It should have been canceled. We could not see out the windows and had very little visibility. At some sights it felt like the wind was going to knock us down and many of us stayed in the bus rather than go because it seemed unsafe. The tour guide mocked us and our nationality for not wanting to be knocked over by wind. It felt like high school bullying. The bus shuddered from side to side. If you’re going in nice weather, it’s probably good but don’t count on them to cancel when it’s not good.

very good sight seeing tour but the bus staff are very pushy on times and kept rushing and making my mother who is not very good at walking feel bad for being 1 or 2 minutes late even though she had to sacrfice seeing certian things just to please the bus staff she was very upset about it viator are great for tours but the bus travel tour in this case was the worst we had and had to tell people at our hotel who where elderly or not fast at walking not to be using that bus travel tour as they would be in the same situation

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback but we're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your tour. It is really important that our guides remind our guests to be on time so that we can keep to our advertised schedule. This is for the comfort of all our passengers, some of whom may have made plans for the rest of the day. It is also important in the winter when we need to optimise the daylight time available so all our passengers can visit all the scheduled stops when it is light. All our guides make sure that the passengers are aware of the time that they need to be back on the bus. We apologise if the reasons for the schedule were not made clear on the day, but as explained it is very important for us to keep the schedule for everyone on the tour. Please contact us directly to discuss it further. Customer satisfaction is our number one priory and we take all feedback seriously.

We had an awesome time on our Golden Circle tour! I personally believe we were given adequate time at each location given it was a bus tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of Iceland and spoke with great passion! It also helped that we had phenomenal weather the day of our tour.

We had a really super time on the Golden Circle. The places we stopped were lovely, it was very well organized, and our guide Anna Kristin was simply great ! We felf like we knew more of Iceland's landscape but also on how people of Iceland live their daily lives. I highly recommend this tour.
