Outstanding - Pavel was an excellent tour guide! The pick up and drop off were very smooth, the drive incredibly comfortable. Pavel was knowledgeable and made for a very informative and enjoyable tour! It’s tough to pick just a few highlights but we loved stopping to pet the Icelandic horses and of course, the visit to the geothermal center where we got a chance to try eggs boiled on a hot spring and rye bread baked on one! Of course the geyser, the hot springs, the meeting of the tectonic plates, the enormous waterfall, and the Kerid crater lake were all nothing short of spectacular and breathtaking. Would do it again with this guide and the Nice Tours again. The bus was climate controlled and had wifi and usb charger ports.

Rain put a literal damper on the day - It was hard to enjoy most of the sites due to the rain. Golffoss was lovely but we didn't really have enough time to explore all the levels. This was the case with most of the sites. We would have enjoyed all more if there had been no rain.
