20/10 sensational!!!! - Firstly, our guide Walter was beyond awesome!!! He absolutely made the trip and was easily one of the best tour guides we have ever had! The obvious highlights did not disappoint - the Geisers, Gulfoss and Crater were sensational but the whole bus tour through the beauty of the snowy National Park was also stunning! We highly recommend the tour with Nice Travel and would suggest requesting Walter!

Trip of a life time - all thanks to Walter! - Trip of a life time - all thanks to Walter! I’ve always said your tour guide determines your trip and that was definitely the case today. From the minute we were picked up, Walter was so friendly and welcoming and had us all laughing all day. He is very knowledgable and was teaching us all about Iceland even in between stops when we passed things. We had plenty of time in each location, the day was very relaxed and we even had a bonus stop to see the Icelandic horses. Thank you for an amazing day we will never forget Walter!

Pickup & drop off at the... - Pickup & drop off at the bus stop a block from my hotel were on time & seamless. The places we visited were breathtaking and our guide Thore (I probably spelled that wrong) was so informative and had a great personality. Strongly recommend this tour!

Golden Circle in all it’s glory - Cannot begin to describe how special our day on the Golden Circle tour felt today with our two young children! Absolutely breathtaking scenery, incredible locations and Monica, our Nice Travel guide, was so informative. Our first time in Iceland and wow, this day will take some beating. Incredible!

Great guide, extra efforts, and beautiful stops! - I really enjoyed the tour guide, and stops along the tour. Our guide was very personable. Adding music even to share more of the culture! He also added stops when time allowed to see the horses! I only wish I was told the night before they were adding on a stop at a hot spring at the end of the night as that was an unexpected additional cost and I did not pack how I would if I knew about the hotspring earlier. I did appreciate they covered the cost of bathing suit since it was a last minute change. It was a very enjoyable addition.

A great introduction to the beauty of Iceland - A great day out made more fun by our excellent guide Addi who had a wonderful sense of humour! Heed the warning of ice and wear the crampons that they give you as they are needed!

Could be better - Great tour apart from stop to look at and feed horses. Another stop to view cows and listen to guide play guitar and sing. Earlier arrival at last stop before dark would have been preferable.
