Outstanding tour! - This tour was amazing and our guide was too. It was very nice to have a small group tour as there were only 7 of us on our trip so we had plenty of time at each stop. We took a moment to drive to the Icelandic President's house to allow time for the weather to clear up and it did! We saw so many neat and different things, from all the different colors of the hot springs to the beautiful Graenavatn or green lake. The bridge between continents offers a fun photo moment. But the highlight for us was seeing the Memorial to the Great Auk and The home of Volcano Man- the spot where they filmed this song from the Eurovision Story Of Fire Saga movie starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams! As another bonus, we had the time to visit Brimketil pool, which was just spectacular. We choose to be dropped off at the Blue Lagoon afterwards, and that was fantastic as well since we were permitted to drive on the road past the closed village Grindavik and we saw the new lava fields on our way to the Blue Lagoon. Things to keep in mind: even in summer, dress for wind and weather as these changed many times during our trip. Our guide let us know that given where we were headed, that we didn't have a scheduled lunch stop, but we were able to grab lunch at a shop so we could eat on the way. He also helped plan out bathroom stops as most locations do not have restrooms. The hot springs do have an odor of sulphur which can be strong. It didn't bother us, but may not be the best tour for someone traveling with small children, but perfect for older kids/ teens.

Small friendly tour company - Competent drivers with good knowledge. Very friendly they do all the classics Iceland tours and if you book direct get 15% discount. Small groups. Tip they go with minimum of 4 so a private tour is feasible.

Geopark Tour - Take It - Tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Allowed ample time to visit sites and for a great lunch at a small harbor town. Easy access to most locations and easy walking distance for each stop. Highly recommended - Brad_B

Fun day with a fantastic guide - Our guide, Ian, was exceptional. His knowledge of geology was supplemented with stories of history and events. He pointed out all the interesting places, mixing the right amount of stops and drive bys. He took us to a very local place for lunch. The vehicle was perfect for a pick up with all the luggage and a drop off at the airport. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour for anyone who has a late afternoon flight.

Super! - Exactly what I expected. The guide/driver Chris did very well. Works perfectly with Pick up at hotel in REY and drop off in KEF.

Great tour - The tour guide was great. We enjoyed the stops, and the tour gives you a little taste of Iceland. However, I would be hesitant to book for airport drop off. Our flight was at 4:45, and we got dropped off at the airport around 2:45. I was reassured that KEF is a small airport, but it was still a 15-20 minute walk to the gate, and the line for passport control was long. Our flight ended up being delayed 15 minutes, which was fortunate for us because we didn't get to the gate until 4:40. I do wish we could have been picked up earlier. We had to disembark our cruise at 8AM and waited outside with nowhere to sit until pickup at 9:30. The weather was gloomy with light rain, so an earlier pickup time would have been more convenient and helped us avoid the stress at the airport. However, it all worked out, and the tour itself was great.

Good - The tours have been very interested and average good service. But one day they arrived to pick us up an hour late without anycall or any information, till we call them. I would recomend them but they should be aware of this details.Sometimes during the process of booking the tours, the answer to our emails was arriving days after.

Canceled quire unexpectedly - Late in the evening, literally less than 12 hours before the scheduled start of the tour, we suddenly received an email with last minute cancellation saying that they were unable to run this tour because they can’t meet the minimum numbers of participants. Our tour was with the airport drop-off, so it was quite hectic to rearrange our Flybus pickup and rework the plan for our last day in Iceland. They processed the refund of course (within 10 business days) and offered to arrange a taxi for exactly the same price we could have done ourselves. Next time we will book all our tours with NiceTravel, I have nothing but the nicest words to say about their superb guides, prompt communication and flawless tours. We had done three day tours with them and are ready for more next year.
