30 Encounters With Tourists From Hell Me And My GF Experienced While Working In Iceland’s Tourism
My girlfriend and I have been working in the tourism industry in Iceland for well over three years now. After hearing the same silly questions for the millionth time, we decided to put our customer service experience out for everyone to see. Meet The Tour Bunny, a fuzzy creature that tackles tourism-related issues.
How it all started: Our glorious drawer, Bun A, had a headache preventing him from going to sleep one night, while Bun V, his girlfriend, was studying abroad. He decided to sketch the funny comic "Do You Sell Tours?" and proceeded to send it to V, who read it and thought it was insanely cute and funny.
They then showed the cute drawings around in their circle of friends and colleagues, who all lit up after seeing it and demanded more. So, Bun A and V went to work and came up with stories that they encountered while having worked at a tourist information and booking center in Iceland. Oh, boy, were there a lot of stories for new webcomics.
For a while, this was circulating in private messages only, but we kept getting encouragement, and people said we should put these relatable comics online for everyone's viewing pleasure, which we did after a while.
Nowadays, we get submissions from all walks of life in Iceland (even tourists who found us and had some stories of their own!), and we are looking to get further input from outside Iceland as well to broaden our viewership.
If you find the comics funny and you have some stories of your own, please feel free to submit them on our Facebook page, Instagram, via email, or on the website (the last one is completely anonymous). If you do share, please let us know which country the story happened in!
We hope you enjoy our little project!

I says send'em out... let nature take care of them..."The tour shall continue, but it is self-serve. Have a nice day"
I think every year we need one day where we could say what we really want to without repercussion. Like a verbal purge
I had a colleague once tell me she went for a hike through the rainforest on honeymoon in indonesia in high heels, because she couldn't wear anything else as it made her feet hurt!
I once was on a Tour in east Germany, not so long after the re-unification. The Lines were marking minefields thad hadnt been cleaned yet. Nobody crossed them. Long story short: We all need mor landmines for nature preservation
closer than Antarctica in the Argentine patagonia. We have large colonies of penguins. You can send this people there😋
My tongue gets bitten nearly in half several times a day from trying to politely reply to these people.
Well, do you sell any tours? :P it reminds me the Duck song with lemonade and grapes...
summer 2017: "I can't beleive the part about the new island of 1963 had a whole minute in BLACK AND WHITE!"
One of our customers sat on our desk once and wouldn’t move even when asked to. Well. Our desks are adjustable in height :)
This is very accurate, I as a tourist generally like places with few tourists.
I think i did that too. But is just to start conversation .I'm an introvert unfortunately
I don't work in the tourism industry, but I do work with the public...and these are spot on. lol
Thanks to the internet I've learned the public is pretty much just as ridiculous everywhere. I find I reassuring somehow.
Load More Replies...I work in hospitality and these are all my life!!! Thank you for good laughs
Thank You for reading them! Please feel free to send us an email/submit stories on the webpage if you feel like it! Just mention the country of origin please! ;)
Load More Replies...If you think it's any different here in America..it isn't. I love the service customers that ask for the impossible. "Can you give my dog a puppy cut?" (There's no such thing as a puppy cut.) "Can you just brush my dog out?" (From what I can see with the matts..it's because a brush rarely touches this dog at home, right.) "Can I sit and watch you groom my dog?" (Oh yes..because it's so much easier to groom a dog that's flailing around on the table because you're sitting 5 feet away and it thinks you're taking it home.) "Why is my dogs haircut so much more expensive than mine." (Because I doubt you bite your hair stylist, try to run from your hair stylist or that you squat and take a dump on the hair stylists chair.) People want champagne dreams at bargain beer prices. And they get so whiny when you tell them "no." Lovely that there's a whole generation of young kids now going through schools where teachers have been told that they can't say "no" to the kids. SMH
Actually, in the poodle world, there is a so called 'puppy clip' - you should try that one - hi hi hi :-D
