“This was the last excursion of a week long trip so we had done MANY with other companies. This review is more on rhe company than on the actual activities. This guide did very little participant management that we had seen other companies do so people are smelly fish soups on the crowded bus and talked loudly while he was trying to talk. Every other tour company has given a little “respect the flock and the clock” speech. People were late returning so we were rushed through the next event. The guide also talked very little but when he did it was the same story over and over. lol Also,…”

Review of the 12-hour Snaefellsnes tour from Reykjavik, with Kirkjufell, black-sand beaches, glacier views, transport, tips, and value.
“It was a long, but good day. The Icelandic landscape was truly breathtaking. Made quite a few stops, some were just quick photo ops and some we stayed longer. Our guide, I forget his name, was friendly and informative. What I would maybe do differently, if possible, is spend a little less time at the seal beach and the bird cliffs, to allow more time to get up close to Snaefellsjokull glacier, as well as spend more time at Kirkjufell and maybe get onto the other side of it to see the waterfalls. Lunch was a bit subpar for me, but that's just my opinion, overall I loved the food…”

“this was a great tour to see the peninsula. Loved the small group as it allowed us to enjoy ample time at each stop before quickly moving to the next stop. Smari was our guide and was very knowledgeable as he was raised on the peninusula. He was able to quickly adjust the schedule to take full advantage of the weather. We visited seals, beaches, waterfalls, the black church, rock formations and caverns. We were fortunate enough to have a clear day and a great view of the glacier.”

Kayak beside Iceland’s Mt. Kirkjufell, watch for seals and birds, and warm up with hot chocolate after this beginner-friendly fjord tour.
“Equipped with dry suits and life jackets, we were perfectly prepared for a lovely tour along the coast. Depending on how much effort you put in, you can make good progress in a single kayak. Kate and Greg (hope I remember that correctly) explained the area at regular stops. As a reward, a seal watched us as we took a break. After we returned, there was cocoa and biscuits to warm up and give us strength. Be sure to take part if you're in the area! No problem for beginners.”
Review of Iceland’s 8-day Ring Road tour with glaciers, waterfalls, whale watching, Snaefellsnes, breakfast, and small-group transport.
“The eight days we spent with our guide Thor were incredibly enjoyable. All the arrangements were well-organised, and he did a great job of letting us know when we'd have time to rest and eat during the long drives. Thanks to his explanations, we were also able to better understand Iceland's culture and nature. Because of him, we're leaving Iceland with nothing but happy memories. As a solo traveler not used to driving, I looked into several tours before deciding. Troll's tour was a great choice, with well-prepared vehicles and itineraries. If you're a solo traveler and find driving in Iceland's unpredictable weather challenging, I highly recommend this tour.”
Pick a glacier, a harbour or a hot spring.
