About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- brettan2nyp0 contributionsA good trip if properly equipped.Very good trip, lots of geological features. Guide was knowledgeable and informative. The worst aspect was the viewing point for the waterfall. The ice on the ground was so dangerous that it was difficult to stand up let alone walk. Crampons should have been compulsory.Written January 15, 2025
- reecek2700 contributionsAwesome trip. Even better guide!Of course the views and stops were phenomenal as expected but what made the trip was our guide and driver, Walter. He made the trip what it was and kept the energy up while being very funny and informative. The bus was comfortable for the length of the trip and we kept laughing thanks to Walter’s anecdotes. Definitely reccomend!Written January 15, 2025
- joanaamorr0 contributionsFantastic Tour and ExperienceIt was a very good tour, chill and well organized. Walter was Super Duper Entertaining, literally no dull moments with him inside the mini bus which made the long ride very much tolerable! I think he's even made it into my dreams during the ride. haha Kidding aside. My favorite was the blue lagoon dip, it was a perfect way to end the tour this way, ver relaxing and and experience like no other. Again, I would like to commend Walter, if he wasn't our tour guide I don't think it would be as lovely as it was!Written January 15, 2025

This tour was incredible! Our guide was so knowledgeable and pivoted to make sure that we saw as many sights as we could...things most people don't know are there! When we had a sunny afternoon, he shifted our itinerary to make sure we saw things that were best in "good light!" The hotels were nice. Great value...highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time with Robert touring the Golden Circle and then the southern coast of Iceland. We even had the opportunity to make some extra stops that were not part of the original itinerary, but were totally worth it. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Nice Travel wholeheartedly.

We had a great experience on the 3 Day Golden Circle, South Coast, Glacier Lagoon and Glacier Hike Tour. Filip was our guide for the first day (Golden Circle) and Gulli was our guide for the second and third day. Both of them were fun and full of great information. Gulli, in particular, was incredibly knowledgeable about history, culture and volcanoes. Filip curated a great playlist of music that complemented the stories and scenery. The guides on the glacier hike and amphibious boat tour were also excellent. The hotels were clean and comfortable, with great breakfasts. The bus was comfortable and the WiFi worked very well. We highly recommend this tour!

This 3 day tour packed in so much and then seemed to add more! Our guide Guli was both a really good driver and an interesting and informative guide. Riding in a comfortable small bus, he kept us informed and entertained during the longer bits of the drive. We saw so many beautiful wonders and had time to do a bit of hiking or walking at all the important ones. From waterfalls, to Iceland’s old faithful geysir that irruption about every 8 minutes, to lava crater lakes, glacial lagoons…it was great! The hotels we stayed in were very comfortable, with good breakfasts and friendly staff. A wonderful way to see the wonders of the south—I would do another Nicetravel tour in a heartbeat!

Christine's full professionalism was an inseparable element of the hike. Walking on a glacier that shrinks with every second and although it is powerful reminds us that everything passes. it makes everything that happens there unique and unrepeatable. something amazing.

Our adventure in Iceland was amazing!! Mika, our guide, was fantastic. We never felt rushed, had a fun time, and got to see so much more than advertised. Additionally, Mika kept apprised of the weather, and reordered tour stops to enable us to see and do more. We had a wonderful time.

What an amazing experience! Did not disappoint, but in fact exceeded expectations, Thor and Siddi ( shortened names of course to help us all to say them ) were our guides. Both were informative, very helpful and went out of their way to help make the tour memorable. Even doubled back for one of the guys on the bus who had lost their phone at one of the waterfalls. Highlight for me was the diamond beach and the glacier hike! I would happily recommend Nice Travel and would use them again.

We did this tour in the middle of June. It started with the Golden Circle. Very touristy, but still so gorgeous. The real fun starts when you get to Nice Hostel. It was cleaner than I could have ever imagined, the beds were comfortable and clean (down duvets), and the bathrooms were so much better than expected. The food at the hostel was affordable and tasty, and the staff was kind and even offered us some of their beers. We had Mika as our driver for the rest of the trip, and he made the trip for us. He was sweet, knowledgeable, and made the strangers on the bus all become a cohesive group by the end. The glacier hike was not too hard, I'd say almost all skill levels can do it. Each attraction was gorgeous, and everyone we met was professional and excited to see Nice tours. The one thing I would have changed is to bring a warmer, waterproof jacket.

Did this tour on May 3rd. First day was a rush, second day was perfect, third day was a very boring and tiring drive, all day in the car.
The hostel is good, very friendly, well located, spotlessly clean and cozy. But this is a hostel, not hotel. Everything is shared, except the tiny rooms.
The guide from the 1st day, Malti or Matti (I'm terribly sorry, I have very bad memory!) was great, but we were paired to a day tour heading to the Blue Lagoon, so everything was a rush until 16:00, then in the evening we did nothing.
The second day was great, well planned, good hiking, lots of fresh air.
The third day was bad, very boring, tiring, all the day in a car with no stories.
The guide from the second and the third day, Ortney (not sure if I spell right, sorry again) didn't seem to be very inetrested in his work. He was traveling with his girlfriend, so on the stops he didn't spend time with the group. Generally, he did seem bored and didn't seem very professional. Just had some fun. On the third day, we missed the lunch stop and he didn't warn us in advance. No day itinerary, not so many stories, not enough taking care of the group, he was not 100% involved and was not working hard. In a day from a guide from another company, I knew way more about this area (even though we were traveling to another part of the country) than in 2 days from him.
I don't think I'll choose Nice Travel again. These guys have to learn a bit how to make minibus tours, in general. I've seen some minibus tours way better, in Iceland as well as in some other countries.

Hi, officially not, but you may see auroras depending on the season and in this case the guide will stop and let the group take some pictures, I believe.
