Amazing day out - Amazing views at the peninsula on a good day. Managed to spot seals as well. Walter is such an entertaining and nice guide (no pun intended), telling us history, information and useful facts on Iceland. Recommended.

Exceptional - With Philip at the helm, the day was fun and informative. Great guide with a wealth of knowledge. His playlist was great, obviously a lot of thought was put into it. With every change of scenery, the music was on point. Thank You Philip for making the day memorable.

ANAZING day - What an amazing day, from start to finish! Walter made our experience fun, engaging and was very knowledgeable and funny. We had more than enough time in the stops to take in the scenery and snap amazing photos. Iceland is so beautiful.
Thanks again, Walter!

Beautiful scenery, fantastic guide! - The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is just stunning, highly recommend adding this to your Iceland trip! NiceTravel were well organised and the trip ran smoothly. This was my first ever day-trip group tour so I thought the stops were appropriately timed, although there’s so much to do in 1 day that it is always going to feel a little bit rushed compared to doing it yourself at your own pace. But driving in Iceland in winter was one thing we didn’t want to do (coming from Australia)! Our guide Walter’s energy, jokes and passion really made the trip! His love for Iceland really came across in his tour. He also gave us a few extra photo stops, including one for Icelandic horses, which was amazing!

Amazing trip and nice tour guide - Nice view in Iceland , and Walter is really nice and funny. He is a good tour guide that he is thoughtful for us such as telling us the details cautions. Ice land is an amazing place that I have seen many beautiful and particular places .Especially the Northern lights, I am so fortunate to see the lights clearly.

Pack your own snacks and lunch - Guide “Bear” was pleasant and professional. The pace of the trip was well-planned and the van was comfortably large. Sites are amazing! Though the food everywhere in Iceland seems surprisingly pricey, we were disappointed that the only lunch option was a visitor center with very limited choices, the least expensive of which was a soup for the equivalent of $25. The recommended fish of the day was about $40. Two elderly people on the trip did not eat lunch because they told me it was too expensive.

Dangerous driver!!! - Our bus crashed and flipped over because our driver insisted “I’m from Iceland, I can drive”. Wind and snow and he should have turned around The road was impassible. Needed to be rescued from the overturned van
