We had the most amazing day out on the Golden circle tour. We only had 3 nights in Iceland and wanted to see as many of the highlights as we could. Although a l long day, this was the ideal tour for us to join. Being a small group we were able to keep moving easily from one place to the next, without feeling rushed. We left our bus stop pick up point around 8.45. We did have to detour slightly to locate some missing late guests but headed out of the city not long after. Our guide Nicola was very knowledgeable and friendly. We seemed to be lucky and often arrive at places of interest before some of the other groups so it was never too busy. Having visited the National park, waterfall, geysers and crater, our last stop was 2 hours in the blue lagoon which was a lovely way to relax at the end of the day. Our final highlight was the Northern lights were visible on our return journey and Nicola found a suitable place to stop so we could see them. A great day
MARIA was AMAZING, and the itinerary was perfect for what we wanted to see! The communication prior to the tour, including driver name, license plate number, pickup expectations, etc was very efficient, and made our day better. The van seats were a bit small for us and all the gear we needed to bring, but did not affect what a great time we had! One suggestion for passengers: BRING A USB cord! Pictures, video, etc drain cell phone batteries, and there was a usb port at each seat to help that problem.
Merieke was a fantastic guide through the day providing lots of interesting facts about Iceland on the way to each stop. Great day out
Pick up was at 9am (we waited for half an hour at bus stop 12). We were told to be there from 8:30am so this wasn’t ideal as it was very wet and windy. Tour guide was very enthusiastic but it was difficult to hear in the back of the minibus. We were dropped at all of the locations but not guided to or around them. I thought for the price and with it being a small tour, we would have been taken to the attractions, not just left in the car park and left to find our own way. We were not aware there was so much to see at the geyser which was disappointing as the focus was on where to eat and what was served rather than information about the hike to the view point which we didn’t find until it was time to head back.
Good selection of main sites on the Golden Circle. Ample time in each location to explore, get pictures and relax.
Me and my mom had a fantastic time and highly recommend the tour. Our guide, Valtýr was fabulous and made our trip unforgettable - informative, funny with plenty of free time to see all the breathtaking attractions. Thank you for this amazing memory!
Amazing tour with a super tour guide named Atti! He was the best & fun!
Tour guide had a great sense of humor and knowledge.
What an amazing tour from start to finish! Christina was the most fabulous guide! She made the day interesting, informative and fun! Thank you for a truly memorable experience!
The Golden Circle tour was lovely, and the Blue Lagoon was absolutely amazing! A great way to experience Iceland’s beautiful scenery and unwind.
The trip is long but was very comfortable. We were travelling with our kid and they had a good time too! It certainly inspired wanting to come back to Iceland to discover more. And to finish with the Blue Lagoon was amazing!
Amazing experience and a must do trip!! Our tour guide addi was so much fun, made us feel safe and relaxed as well as being very informative from start to finish. Plenty of time at each point and lots of fun facts learnt
A wonderful day. Addi our guide and driver was brilliant..... a credit to you and we would love to go on another tour with him. Thank you and best wishes from Laura and Fraser (the Highlanders).
I had a really nice, but long, day on this tour! Addi was our guide and did a fantastic job. The places we visited were beautiful, and the whole experience was well worth it. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland!
Addi made this so enjoyable and his knowledge really was the icing on the cake, he made it fun from start to finish would recommend him and the trip to anyone. The views and the experiences are second to none
The tour guide was amazing!!! Loved this
Amazing experience addi the best!
Excellent tour guide. We had a great time
Good guide philip and good communication skill
Fantastic excursion. Great variety. Lots of info and fun along the way. Incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Thoroughly recommend.
Lovely and fun trip with a nice tour guide named walter. Even with no entry in Blue lagoon- the hike on Þorbjörn was very beautiful.
Walter (aka The Bus President) was absolutely brilliant! Very knowledgeable about Iceland, and clearly very passionate about it too. It’s quite a long day, so his humour, enthusiasm and general lovely nature made our trip even better. Would definitely recommend! The only downside was that he supports Man Utd…
Walter was a brilliant guide who entertained us all day with stories about Iceland. Saw all the main attractions in one day. Now if he wasn’t a Manchester United fan it would be perfect but he even kept us up to date with the Champions League scores.
Good tour. Saw a lot. Good value for the money. It lasted the whole day. Everything was included except food and blue lagoon tickets. Walter was funny, full of energy and very informative. I even made a couple of new friends. Would recommend
I love it! Walter was awesome!!! It's a must experience in iceland, just do it!
This was an amazing day trip where we saw so many incredible sights. We learnt so much and had the best day. This was all thanks to our fantastic tour guide, Henrik.
This is a great way to see a lot of Iceland’s iconic scenery. We enjoyed our tour guide, Addi. He is a local that knew the history and didn’t waste a minute getting us from one great location to another. We ended up at the Blue Lagoon, which is a must do. It was a full day and a great day. Addi also recommended a local hot dog place, BBP, which was great. If we did this again, I’d want Addi to take us around.
Excellent experience, the guide was amazing and the Blue Lagoon is a must see here!
A fantastic tour hosted by Koli (aka Colin) from Nice Travel. It was a fantastic day and Koli was a great driver and tour guide. He was able to answer any questions that we threw at him and he shared loads of fascinating facts with us. Koli also did a couple of stops off the main route, which were an added bonus. Our favourite part of the trip was the Gullfoss waterfall but everything thing was amazing, and it was lovely to end the day with a relaxing swim in the Blue Lagoon
Bart was an incredible guide! Ask for him!
Bartos was an excellent tour guide .
The places we visited were amazing, even with the rain and the wind. Only Blue Lagoon is a bit overpriced. Bartosh was an amazing guide: he explained a lot of things about Iceland and always in a funny and interesting way. Thank you so much!
This was a very interesting overview of volcanic Iceland and our guide was very informative and fun….timing was spot on
Excellent tour if you want to hit all the major spots in Reykjavík and end up in a beautiful healing blue lagoon. Our driver was very knowledgeable and gave us facts of the area and the Icelandic way of life. He happened to be the youngest tour driver in all of Reykjavík.
The excursion is packed with several stops so be prepared for a long day but it does wrap up with a relaxing trip to the Blue Lagoon. The driver went out of his way to make the experience was fun even during the drives between stops and he provided additional information about places not included in the trip.
It was nice and full of fun I really recommend it!
We had a very full day and was made even better by our guide Philip - while there was significant driving to get to all the sites Phil kept us engaged with Iceland info and a well curated playlist. He was took control of the group early when some very rude people were significantly late - I appreciated him standing up for all of us who wanted to have time at each location and were respectful of the schedule. The bus was comfortable even for tall passengers. If you want to pack a lot into one day this is a good tour and if not I would look into other tours with this company.
We had so much fun on our tour with Walter, his passion, humour and knowledge kept us laughing and full of wonder for all the beautiful sights.
Excellent guide! Walter was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining, he ensured everyone had a wonderful time.
This was an excellent tour! Lots of sights to see and our tour guide was amazing! He took us on a couple of extra scenic sights to see which was much appreciated. Small group size made it comfortable to travel. Highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Not a small group... a small group is 6, NOT 20! The only difference 'premium' added to my experience was a robe and a single tasteless 'alcoholic' drink.... wow! The driver and guide was the only positive note on the tour.
We had an amazing day with Nice Tours. Saw so many things along the way and ended at the Blue Lagoon. What a fabulous ending to our day. Our guide provided many stops for the bathroom and to get snacks. Group was small(18) and the bus was very nice. This was a great start to our week.
Tour guide was perfect! Very informative, timely, thought about how busy locations might be during certain times and scheduled our lunch break around that.
A great way to see a lot of Iceland in a short period of time. The stops gave us enough time to explore, the guide was excellent. Would definitely recommend
WOW! I've been in heated outdoor pools when it's cold outside, but nothing like this one. The milky thermal waters of the Blue Lagoon are a perfect tonic for weary bodies and minds. The sauna, steam room and waterfall are a triple, complimentary treat. And you can enjoy all this and, more, including a day at the spa just 45 minutes from Reykjavik. I swear, if I lived here, I'd become a regular.
Our driver was super knowledgeable and helpful! This tour is definitely worth it! However, I think nice travel could make the pick up instructions clearer. My husband and I arrived at our pick up stop at 8:20am (9am) start, however, I got a call saying our driver couldn’t find us when we were at the spot the whole time.
Great tour with all the key sights included. Sammi was a fantastic tour guide. Even though it was raining, I still had a good time!
This trip by Nice Travel really was exceptional. Picked up from hotel, comfortable minibus, and visited so many sites. AddiJo is very experienced and shared fascinating knowledge about the geology, Icelandic history, farming, and ecological landscape. He is a safe driver also and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour which finished with the Blue Lagoon. A day to remember!
Addi Joe was everything you want in a tour guide. He knows the political history, geology natural history and folklore. He gave realistic time estimates and set achievable gold for us all to meet.
