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 this 3 days tour. We are family of 4, we were given 2 rooms for both our hotels. The hotels were really good with great views. Our guide was Chistina and she was really good. Overall great value for money.

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.

Amazing 3 days at the south coast of iceland! It was rainy for the first several days after we landed in iceland so we were worried we won’t see much during the tour but our guide David planned around the weather. He reversed the itinerary so we ended up going to the glacier and the golden circle on 2 beautiful days! He also stayed up to watch for the northern lights so we didn’t missed them. David was an awesome guide and the whole tour was spectacular. We saw a lot in a short time but we didn’t feel hurried. I would highly recommend the tour!

Spent a week in Iceland in June. The 3 Day Tour by Nicetravel was by far the highlight of the trip. David was our tour guide and driver for 2 of the three days. Beautiful scenery and experiences for three days.
While in Iceland we took two other day trips from other companies out of the city. Not as enjoyable as the Nicetravel tour experience. The other tours were large, and driver/tour guides always in a rush and didn't share much information about the city and didn't interact much with the passengers.
The 3 day Nicetravel tour was a smaller group. David was our driver for 2 of the three days, very personable. He shared a lot of information about the various waterfalls and glaciers. The tour group was much smaller and allowed for more time to visit the waterfalls and to enjoy lunch/dinner and world cup soccer games along the way.
Thank you to David and Nicetravel- excellent job, I have friends and coworkers who are interested in visiting Iceland in the next year and told them to start with Nicetravel for tours.

I joined this 3 day tour to South Coast in June as my first tour in Iceland. For the first day it was about Golden Circle and the remaining 2 days were about South Coast elements. The guides were well prepared and explained a lot about different attractions and Iceland in general. Each stop had reasonable stopover time, around 20 to 40 mins. For day 1 the golden circle and blue lagoon day tour joined us together. After visiting the elements of golden circle, around 5pm the big group was separated and we stayed in Nicehostel near the Seljalandfoss, while they had another pickup to go to blue lagoon.
On the second day they will change the guides. The guides Pablo and Jaka were so helpful and knowledgeable and we had a wonderful trip to black sand beach, different waterfalls and the glacier, although the weather was not so nice with a little showers.
Jaka didn't join us on the third day and Pablo was the only guide who drove us to Jokulsarlon for glacier boat tour. Weather was nicer with a sunshine and the blue and black floating ices in the lagoon. Pablo was so nice to make us a few short stops on request to take photos of Vatnajokull and its neighboring glacier outlets.
We all 7 people joined this 3 day tour. The stays in hostel was comfortable as well and there is a little waterfall behind the hostel. For dinner they offer pizza and lamb soup, or you can bring your own food and use the guest kitchen upstairs. The minibus was clean and equipped with Wifi. But the bus has no truck and so please do not bring large luggage or suitcase with you.

5 stars！very nice experience with David! And I love his “why not views” especially the shower waterfall. Trip was nice, bus was nice and it is not too hard or tired to travel a 3-day schedule.

Nicetravel is a professional company that coolly coordinated the Golden Circle day trip with the two-day south coast tour, with a night in Hveragerdi between them. The guides on both tour parts were informative and entertaining, in particular Kristina who took over for the latter two days. She infused a lot of energy and enthusiasm into her part of the tour, making interesting unscheduled stops in addition to the usual itinerary. She was also an excellent guide for the glacier hike. This tour has a lot of variety in terms of landscapes and wonders, and staying in Hveragerdi gives an opportunity for an additional self-led hike to some natural hot springs in the mountains. The second night's accommodation at a remote farm in southeastern Iceland was atmospheric and delightful. Highly recommend this tour. The company is also very responsive by e-mail. Everything is well-organised.

An amazing experience! Everything was very professional and hospitable. The sites are absolutely breathtaking. Our driver/tour guide -Ari- was very friendly and accommodating (with a great soundtrack for the drives). The food exceeded our expectations and they even bake handmade pastries at the hostel. We were lucky enough k far to see the northern lights! Highly recommend

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.

We took tour in June.
We had a room that had 4 single beds.
I think it was room 3. It was on the first floor
Great trio. Hope you enjoy too.
