Review of the 11-hour Snæfellsnes day trip from Reykjavik, with Kirkjufell, Vatnshellir Cave, waterfalls, black beaches, and small-group travel.
“Our guide Skúli was fantastic. Witty, funny and absolutely thrilled me and the 12 other passengers on this small group tour, with his stories of Icelandic Folklore, Skúli has an incredible wealth of knowledge about all the wonderful sights we visited that day. He made additional stops so we could have multiple photo opportunities, and on the journey back to Reykjavik he pulled off to the side of the road to allow us to take photos of the Northern Lights, what an absolute bonus! A truly memorable day made even better by being in the presence of a local Icelander.Read more”
Hike Iceland’s recent lava fields, visit Kleifarvatn and Seltún, then relax in the Blue Lagoon on this full-day trip from Reykjavík.
“This was our favourite excursion on our trip to Iceland. the golden circle and south of Iceland are brilliant but being able to hike a recently erupted volcano was an unbelievable experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and patient and made the whole day so much better, including entertaining stories and facts. The scenery was incredible and we even had a snow storm on the lava at the top. Ending the day with the blue lagoon entrance included in the price topped off a brilliant day and was perfect after a hike.”

Hotel pickup/drop off from / to the airport and Hawaiian Airlines flight from Honolulu to Hilo on Big Island was well very well organized and on time. This gave us full 12 hours to cover the itinerary. The trip to Rainbow Falls, Akatsuka Orchid Gardens, Mauna Loa factory and Liluokalani Gardens were delightful. Volcanoes National Park, chain of craters, lava fields and an up close view of the Kilauea caldera at Pahoa was simply spectacular and breathtaking. Our local tour guide Leroy was very knowledgable and regaled us…”

“I’m giving it 5 stars for our driver - he was amazing. Just make sure you read all the fine print and know there are additional fees. It is essentially a wonderful driver with tickets to Vesuvius. You will need to book tickets to Herculeanum and Pompeii and book your own guide or tour that matches the pick up and drop off times for this tour group. Again - can’t say enough wonderful things about our driver and his regional knowledge - just know you need to Do additional leg work to Book your own tours and tickets outside of this experience.”
Review the 4-hour Mount Vesuvius trip from Naples, with transport, crater access, guide, practical tips, costs, and weather advice.
“the pick-up was prompt from near Naples train station. Bruno got us there quickly. He then told us to return in 2 hours for collection. Again, he was prompt and speedy. The drive itself was a bit of fun through the winding roads. We found an Alpine guide on the route up but he was waiting ages for a big group so we decided to go ahead. This excursion is basically just paying extra for the taxi service rather than having to get a train & shuttle. Was it convenient? Yes! Was it about £30 more expensive per person (than sorting out own travel)? Yes! Was it worth it? I'm…”
