Great trip - Valtýr was a wonderful guide. Loved all the stops. Well paced. Had an issue with the booking and the local Nice Travel people were able to fix it before the tour - good customer service. Would highly recommend and use the company again.

Fantastic first 2 days of a 4-day itinerary. - An excellent tour. Our guide/driver David is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job of communicating with the group. We learned a lot in 2 exciting days and had a lot of fun. In addition, David is extremely well-organized and a very good driver.

Bucket list destination checked off - I was excited about seeing so many waterfalls and puffins. I did see several waterfalls and a lot of puffins. The tour guides were very informative with injecting history about the stops. I also enjoyed the side stop at Lake Laugarvatn and seeing how rye break is baked in geothermal pits. I just wish the weather was better but still enjoyed the tour.

Excellent. Well worth the two days. - Our guide on the second day was fantastic!!! CHRISTINA made the trip memorable and so much fun. The little things she did made it feel like the tour was personalized just for us. Anyone that gets her as their guide is lucky.

Wonderful journey - The trip with nice travel was excellent. I especially appreciate our guide, Christina. Beautiful, careful, humorous and professional. The atmosphere in minibus is really comfort. The scenic views are astonishing. I would definitely recommend this trip to my friends. 不是这个点评怎么只算中文呢。总之这个确实挺不错的,尤其是酒店所在的位置。五点到了之后,我自己再往山里徒步了四个小时。很漂亮,有很多野生温泉。这个导游很奈斯,很热情。good.

Golden circle disappointed !south coast excellent - First day golden circle guide was disappointed, he was quite arrogant &a bit rude, we are sat in the van and I can see the time there's two people were 3 minutes late and he just said to them you're late in not very good way . He tried to explain everything as he drives,I'm not sure about everyone but sometime when I'm sitting in a van travelling I actually fell asleep, once we arrived in tourist spot drop us off and told us what time and where to pick us up and he just popped back in the van or disappeared because of that we missed the first water fall which really wants to see, He just said follow the road 10 minutes up to the fall &10 minutes down but there was quite a few falls in between so we thought we got the right one. Around 4:30 the guide drop us off the hotel look good ! But some emergencies situation happen my friend certainly not well so we try to call the reception using the phone in the hotel room we tried many times and then we realize the phone it's not working so I have to change my pajama and run up to the reception with water dripping from my hair, which the nighttime receptionist he was very nice but no emergency doctor & found the address for emergency clinic nearby also said the hotel having problems only with the floor we stayed,. Well I thought the hotels supposed to let the guests know , phone line is down when we first checki in anyway we got a taxi all the way to the emergency clinic by ourselves . Next day morning I went to the receptionist who check us in and told him you should have told us there's a phone problem ,he did apologize but he looked like he doesn't mean it. Second day we've got a new guide for south coast day trip guide Christina , I only can say she was excellent and very helpful that's why I gave this trip four star because of her if not Christina this trip not even earn any star from me.

Nice tour but we didn’t... - Nice tour but we didn’t visit two of the locations in the itinerary, which was disappointing. Hotel is very basic and didn’t cater for vegan breakfast.
