Thor the Guide of Thunder
Thor, the Guide of Thunder!! And laughter 😆 From the moment we got on the bus at 8:30am until 8pm that evening he had us in tears from the jokes and stories. Personable is an understatement, Thor’s personality is warm, soulful, and authentically kind. Thor also hums along to the great playlist he created for our pleasure. The music mimics the vibe of the experience you will be enjoying. He has great history of both the land and some troll 🧌 stories thrown in for fun. He knew all the “hot spots” as he is a local born and raised on the peninsula with his family history dating back to the 1800’s!! If you book with Thor you’ll be is safe and capable hands. Thank you for making Joni’s and my trip unforgettable 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from the operator: Thank you for this review. I am happy your experience on the Snæfellsnes hás been great. That kind of tours can make unforgettable memories to travelers and I believe you wouldn't forget too. There is only one small case. We have been together on the another tour but Thor took over for Snæfellsnes tour.. I wish you all the best and many more happy travels. Andres

Snæfellsness Peninsula small group tour from Reykjavík
Had an amazing time at the peninsula. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our driver Zack (Roman) was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He shared many interesting stories about the area and was always ready to answer questions. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Thank you Zack! Highly recommend this trip
Response from the operator: Hello. Thank you for a wonderful review. This tour is somehow underestimated by travellers in general. Is an excellent option for day traveling since it is offering very much of various spots, all of them interesting for nature explorers. Thanks again. Andres

South coast gems!!
Andres made the trip so much fun! It was nice to sit back and have him take us to the spots while enjoying the scenery around us! He was very accommodating as well when we needed bathroom breaks, snacks, and even searching for the northern lights on the way home! Highly recommend Mercury Grail! Thank you Andres for a wonderful day!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for these wonderful reviews. I didn´t try my best. Maybe is just a good tour done when people are doing the job with a hearth, without trying too much to make customers happy. You are both wonderful people to travel with, so on that way tour can´t happen wrong. It is always one of the goals I am aware with. Don´finish tour with disappointing as I wouldn´t like return back from your to my country as disappointed. I believe you have the same in mind. Simply come home back happy with a new experience.

Sæfellsness
It was a wonderful trip, I hope one day to make another trip. Thank you Andres for the trip and for the wonderful and pleasant company.
Response from the operator: Dear Guida58. It was really my pleasure to be with you that day in Snæfellsnes as on south coast several days before. Thank you to be my quest. Andres

West Coast vist was a special treat!
I recently traveled with my grown son to Iceland and we took several different day trips with Andres to visit different parts of the country from our home base in Reyjavik. Andres was a terrific guide. He is reliable, pleasant and interesting and very flexible. We very much enjoyed his company and the information and stories that he shared. He didn't rush us at any point and let us linger at each stop as long as we wanted. Our visit to the Snaefellsness Peninsula -- western Iceland -- was a surprising highlight. It was a relaxing scenic day without any crowds, as this is an underrated destination in Iceland. We also toured with Andres to the Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon and for a full day in the South. I will be recommending Andres to my family and friends. He made our visit easy and enjoyable.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review Lorraine. It was my pleasure to be with you and your son M. At first day I noticed very quick that he will be interesting on Iceland, since his personality isn't same as most of the other young travellers I been with. During other days, he simply stamped my though. He is bright, intelligent and out of Iceland holiday he will bring very much, simply of his wide interests. I am happy that your time in Iceland was invested on something you wouldn't forget soon and as I told during tours. All travels are education and your son is aware of it. Thank you to be my guest. Andres

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip to Snæfellsness Peninsula from Reykjavik start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
