We appreciated that the tour was packed with excellent sites and we really loved seeing the unique views, however; There was confusion between TripAdvisor and the tour company on what sites were provided on this tour. We would recommend this tour though!”

13.Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss

Edgar is one guide praised for calm, helpful instruction. Expect stunning views, shared snowmobiles, and a large-group format.

“The less positive review is due to two factors: the employees approach their work with little enthusiasm (it's clear that what matters is the money) and they don't prioritize safety. The bus went off the road and almost overturned, frightening all the passengers. The driver had to get out to ask another bus for help to tow us with ropes. He didn't say a word to the passengers to calm them down, even when they were all at a 45º angle, which is regrettable. Another factor is the cleanliness; I'm sure this bus hasn't been cleaned inside for a year, just look at the photos I've posted.”
