Great way to see Iceland! - Honestly, such a great experience. Saw so much, such a relief to not have to drive, and our tour guide, Filip, was amazing!

Nice Travel - golden circles, Merida crater & blue lagoon - Our guide “Filip” was absolutely incredible. The whole trip was just made even better by his banter, humour and general knowledge of the country and places we were visiting, he made everything feel very personal with his choice of songs and jokes. He was approachable, helpful and honestly he made the whole excursion what it was. Absolutely fabulous day, everything was timed well, we had a little disruption with the shuttles to and from the sky lagoon but through no fault of this tour it was just down to the recent events and new procedures. He made sure we were all happy and comfortable and even did his upmost best and succeeded to get another couple back in time to not miss their next northern lights excursions, the odds were against us but he used his knowledge of the best routes and ways to make sure they didn’t miss their trip. A really thoughtful guy, and a credit to the company and their tours, the views were incredible, we felt we got plenty of time in each place, it didn’t feel rushed it was just the right amount of time, plenty of toilet breaks and plenty of time at dinner also. He gave us advice about paths to take, little extras we could see along the way, things he would recommend at the food halls to get a good deal for your money, gave clear instructions. Definitely, definitely worth doing this and hope that you get “Filip” I imagine the others are fab but he just left us smiling cheek to cheek! Credit to you and hope you get the recognition you deserve!

Winter wonderland - This was our second tour of our 4 day stay in Iceland. The first tour around the south coast was great but this one with Nice Travel Iceland was amazing. On the first tour we were advised to buy crampons at a stop off garage due to the very icy conditions but on this tour they were provided by the tour operator which was a nice touch as well as phone charger cables. The tour guide Elias was very friendly and really informative. He made the experience so much better. He came out with the group at each stop off to provide even more information. The national park was amazing. So beautiful. It was very cold (-19c) so make sure you layer up and have a decent coat. Out of the whole day I think this is the place we enjoyed the most as the scenery was out of this world. The final stop was the Blue Lagoon experience. We were very lucky because it had been closed for a few weeks due to the volcanic eruption. The lava has destroyed the car park so you are picked up in their buses at a nearby location and driven to the Blue Lagoon. They are still trying to get the logistics right so it did make the tour length longer than planned so we didn’t get back to Reykjavík until 21:00 but it was definitely worth it. All in all a fantastic tour made all the better by Elias and his knowledge of his country and its history / culture.

Great trip and guide - My husband booked this trip for my birthday whilst we're in Iceland. We had the pleasure of having Walter as our guide, he is great, very informative, makes time to get to know everyone.
We visited on the 2nd day the blue lagoon was back open, even though the entrance and exit were different to normal, he didn't falter and everything ran smoothly.
Would recommend this tour, but especially Walter. He is an asset to this company.
Thank you!

Amazing tour! Definitely a must-do in Reykjavik! - Absolutely my FAVORITE tour of my trip. They provided us with crampons for the day at no extra charge. Christina was funny, friendly and helpful, and every stop we made was interesting. The natural scenery of Iceland is unbelievable. On our tour date the Blue Lagoon was closed due to a volcanic eruption and this company offered several options. We ended up choosing the Sky Lagoon, and it was amazing. Relaxing and unforgettable. Do not hesitate to book this tour!

Golden circle blue lagoon tour - We took the golden circle blue lagoon tour from Nice travels. The guide Monica was awesome, kind, and entertaining. She mentioned a lot about Iceland, played songs in local language, very interesting. When we visited, blue lagoon was closed due to the volanic eruption. They tooks us to the Hvammsvik lagoon instead. It was also beautiful. Kerid crater, waters falls and the geiser. It was totally worth.

Do it! - It was amazing!! Went on the trip during December, but will definitely do the same tour in the summer time. Addi was also super funny and a very safe driver even when we had a snow storm. Would recommend.
