Wonderful day tour to the beautiful Snaefellsnes Peninsula! - I had an excellent tour to Snaefellsnes Peninsula with Tröll Expeditions! I booked this tour after reading many positive reviews of the company on TripAdvisor. Today, I am writing my own account, which confirms the positive experience of other travellers. Communication about the collection point and time were very clear and were sent in a reminder email two days prior! Highly professional and cordial staff working at the office, they were a real pleasure to correspond with! I was collected at 8:15am, and after picking up a few more guests, we were on our way. They do warn in the trip notes that collection times can take up to 30-40 minutes depending on traffic, but I was collected swiftly, with little wait time. I was warned to dress warmly, which I did! It was cold and windy, even in the summer months. You can rent warm wear and rain gear from them at a cost, if you don’t have warm or wind/rain proof clothing. We were a group of approximately 15-16, in a comfortable mini bus. The bus was new, very tidy, and had air conditioning/heating as well as overhead USB chargers for your phone. We proceeded to drive 2.5 hours to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, which is in the northwest direction from Reykjavik. About 1-1.5 hours into the drive, we stopped at a cafe to use the toilet and purchase drinks, coffee and snacks for the day. We arrived on the Peninsula at around 11am, if I recall correctly! From there, we drove the entire circular route of the Peninsula, making stops at scenic viewpoints along the way. The viewpoints we stopped at included: the black church, a viewpoint of the cliffs and the two trolls kissing, the rocks that resemble a sailing ship, a black pebble/sand beach where we were afforded spectacular views of the glaciers, a waterfall that you could go behind (really cool!), and most importantly, Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in all of Iceland! We were blessed with beautiful sunny skies when we reached the highlight of the tour - Kirkjufell and the two waterfalls. The light was perfect and afforded us beautiful scenery! This was the highlight of the day trip! I felt that some of the viewpoints were a little rushed, but I also preferred to see many different viewpoints with less time at each as opposed to visiting two or three with more time. Our guide, Siggi, was just awesome! Informative, professional, personable and easy to talk to! He had a great sense of humour! He was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had on a group tour. During the tour, he even handed out to each of us Iceland’s most famous chocolate bar (Hraun) to sample! It was delicious and I will be purchasing a few to bring home! He was a wonderful driver, prioritized our safety and security, and made sure everyone was on board at all times. At one point, one of our group members was 20 minutes late to meet our van at one of the viewpoints. Siggi circled the area looking for him, and expressed concern about where he could have gone. Finally, he was able to reach him by phone and we located him. Siggi had a lot of funny personal annecdotes to share about what life is like in Iceland, and was equally keen to learn about his clients! I really enjoyed learning about Icelandic culture and traditions during my tour. He had great energy - his favourite phrases “let’s rock and roll” were heard throughout the day. He made the tour really fun for everyone! I hope this review is shared with him at some point so he comes to understand how much travellers appreciate his enthusing and passion about his work! I had a really great tour overall! We saw far many more attractions than I had anticipated we would, so I was pleasantly surprised! We made two stops on the way back to Reykjavik, one for the toilet and one to purchase snacks and cold drinks. We arrived back at our respective collection spots before 6pm, depending on the order of drop-off. Just a word of warning that the roads are bumpy on the Peninsula. It’s very practical and sensible (it’s also law in Iceland) to wear your seatbelt. Siggi made sure we buckled up! Otherwise, the drive was great! The tour was really wonderful! I felt that for everything we were able to see, it was great value! I would absolutely book another day tour or extended tour with this company if I return to Iceland in the near future! Thank you very much to the office staff and guide Siggi for coordinating such a fantastic tour!

Perfect tour for short stay - Great tour with gorgeous sightseeing. Tour guide also shared a lot about history. I would definitely recommend this tour for short stay in Reykjavik.

Top Tour Out Of Reykjavik - This was the coolest tour I took out of Reykjavik. The views were amazing, decent time to stop and enjoy them, plenty of bathroom/coffee/snack breaks & the small bus and small group made it easier to get on and off and get to the good viewing sites. Our tour guide, Jon, was a funny and full of info about our tour and Iceland, and he was a good driver. Definitely worth it. The views of the mountains, glacier and ocean from the bus alone were worth it, and we got out at quite a few stops. Also we got to watch seals sunbathing and playing. So cool.

1 day trip - oscar is amazing. the trip was smooth. he recommended us the foid was super yummy. he also went beyond the usual routes. thanks

Spectacular Snaefellness - Wonderful tour of Snaefellness with Oscar! He was a wealth of information, sharing his knowledge of all of Iceland with us. Lots of walking at various stops, spectacular scenery, delicious lamb soup. Highly recommend!

Fantastic day tour with Oscar - This trip was a full busy day and I can highly recommend it. We saw many of the highlights in the Snaefellsnes peninsula and the time allotted to each stop was well balanced although obviously you always prefer more time. We were lucky to have good weather for the majority of the time and being early on in the season it was relatively quiet. Oscar, our guide, was very informative, answering questions as they were asked. We managed to see the seals at Ytri Tunga although there weren't so many as usual apparently, but that is nature. However, we did see 3 whales in the fjord on the way back to Reykjavik which was a bonus and this was a lucky sighting I have been told. All the sights we saw were well worth the stop. The tour information does not list everything you will see and I'm saying no more. It is all good. A lovely day.

Great stops and fun commentary along the way - Terrific trip! Corinna was amazing! This was our second time with a Troll Tour. Recommend them highly. Great for families

Hotel Budir -- Outstanding! - One of the most interesting (in a great way) hotels I've ever stayed in. Remote, but restaurant is excellent (food and service) with a great full breakfast. And remote is good if you're aurora hunting! We each had roomy suites with outstanding views -- clean and comfortable. There was a little construction going on, but never noisy, dusty or in the way. Very relaxing and well-stocked bar area with mountain and ocean views. Hotel Budir is a must if you're touring the Snaefellesnes peninsula (and you should!).

Beautiful area - Aurnie showed us some special spots on this beautiful peninsula. The attraction is the beauty of the scenery. Rock formation, the coastline, black beach and the extinct caldera were highlights. Great tour

Your time spent in traveling is worth it. - Bring a binocular if you want to see the seal up close, this is also the time to flex your expensive camera lens because it will serve its purpose. Bring a lot of patience in travel time because this is a national park and so the locations are scattered around the area. For me, the highlight of this trip is the lava field filled with moss- amazing!! and the perfect Kirkjufell Mountain - kidding aside, because of its perfect shape it seems that the Zoldyck family lives at the top of this mountain lol.
