WOW! Iceland what a truly wonderful place and Nordic Visitor, the very best tour operator we have ever used (and we have used a lot, in many countries, over many years).
We looked at the Nordic Visitor website and chose our bucket list tour, then we chatted through some specific additions with Gudrún Eiriksdóttir, who expertly guided us with her local knowledge. (Huge thanks to Gudrún!)
We landed on 13th February 2020 just in time to greet the 257 kilometre per hour winds which arrived that evening. The storm lasted most of the following day, sadly wiping out our booking to Dive between the continents at SILFRA.
However Alex Freyr O'Dell, from Nordic Visitor, came to the rescue by rescheduling our booking at the PERLAN. Far from wasting our day we had a great time exploring the museum, walking through the glacier and at the planetarium.
Alex also rescheduled our booking at the Blue Lagoon, where we would throughly recommend the Premium entrance and dining in their Lava Restaurant. (Enormous thanks to Alex!).
As expected our hire car was delivered the following day, complete with a personalised itinerary, full size map with all our hotels and highlights detailed on it, together with a telephone, charged and ready to go.
We then set off on our great epedition 'full circle' around Iceland. The places we visited, which were all recommended by Nordic Visitor and the hotels we stayed in, which were booked by Nordic Visitor, were absolutely superb.
Apart from the 'golden circle' which is well known for its spectacular vistas and attractions, we found 'Diamond Beach', Seljalandsfoss, Reynisdrangar to be breathtakingly beautiful.
Another storm arrived whilst were were in the north of Iceland, which was terrific and terrible in equal measure. What an experience to see white out, enormous snow drifts and such angry seas! The down side was that we were 'cut off' in Siglufjörôur, the most northern town on mainland Iceland. The upside was that Klara Gylfadóttir, from Nordic Visitor called us to tell us to stay where we were (not that we could have moved on, all roads were now closed) and that arrangements had already be made for us to stay at the wonderful Sigló Hotel. Klara also contacted us the following day advising us to stay a further night, not a problem for us, it was a fabulous place! (Klara, another star from Nordic Visitor)
We had a long old drive from the north to the south as soon as the roads were opened, through more tremendous scenery, back to Reykjavik, which was a snowy picture postcard, full of fabulous restaurants and shopping opportunities!
The weather whilst stormy, snowy and wild was not as cold as we had expected it to be. Though we would recommend taking layers, to enable easy adjustment! Don't forget to take a camera to capture all the wonderful memories you will make!!
We truly cannot recommend Nordic Visitor highly enough, their thought, organisation and support before and throughout our holiday were second to none!

We would usually organise our own driving holidays which we’ve done all over the world. But due to Covid and the uncertainty around travelling abroad we opted to book a staycation and let a travel company do all the heavy lifting and organise the trip for us as we left it quite late to book our holiday (less than 1 week in advance). We chose Nordic Visitor as they had received really positive reviews for their trips to Iceland but there wasn’t much on their tours elsewhere, particularly Scotland, so we had some minor reservations. However, our experience was fantastic, Nordic were great, they organised an excellent Scottish Highlands and Isle of Sky driving holiday for us. From start to finish they were flexible about the dates, happy to reorganise locations (due to Covid fears) and our own personal preference. We started and ended our tour in Edinburgh, where we stayed for 2 nights at the Ibis Hotel (pretty decent) and in a really good central location. From there we picked up our travel guide, map and other papers for the rest of our 10 day trip. The travel guide was sent electronically too in advance and had helpful suggestions about what we could do in each location including whether we needed to book any activities in advance due to Covid. We picked up our car on day 2, here we encountered a couple of issues (we needed proof of address and NI number) but with support from Nordic this was all resolved and we were able to start the next phase of our trip. The car was excellent and an upgrade from what we had initially booked (brand new out of the box SUV). Nordic even asked the host of our next b&b in Inverness to give us a bottle of Prosecco, card and box of milk tray to apologise for the issues we had encountered ahead of picking up our car. All the b&b’s booked by Nordic were excellent and of a very high standard, in great locations, with excellent breakfast included, and all en suite. We couldn’t have booked better accommodation ourselves. Overall we were very impressed with Nordic’s customer service, the itinerary they had put together for our trip, car we received, and the quality of accommodation booked on our behalf. We would definitely consider booking another trip through Nordic again, we’ve already been to Iceland but if we hadn’t this would be the company we’d use. I only hope they remain afloat during these tough times for the travel industry.

Now that I have been to Svalbard I am able to deeply appreciate how vital it is that tours are well planned with reputable, well established tour companies. Nordic Visitor ensured our tour operators were one of the best in Svalbard. I am so very grateful for this, and can not overstate the importance of this assurance that high-quality operators will be leading you around Svalbard. I have participated in exciting adventures like white water rafting, skiing, and hiking, but nothing compares to the extreme environment that is Svalbard - safety is very, very important. I highly recommend entrusting your safety to Nordic Visitor. They connect their clients with top notch companies, at a very good price - this is worth every penny. My son and I really enjoyed ourselves, but it became apparent very early that this was largely due to the fact that we felt safe with the team of people that Nordic Visitor is connected with. To all future tourists to Svalbard, one of the best ways you can ensure the quality of your Svalbard adventure is to book through Nordic Visitor.

Kudos to Nordic visitor! I highly recommend this tour group!
Starting from before we got to Iceland our airline suggested earlier flight due to weather system coming into Iceland. We contacted Nordic visitor and they were able to book us an extra day at the hotel we were to be staying at and also arranged for a driver to be at the airport a day earlier.
Our guide Havar was wonderful with the blowing snow and wind he safely got us to our destinations and was a valuable source of information. He was kind and courteous to all of us and seemed very patient!
Due to this very positive experience I would definitely utilize this company in other countries they serve and would definitely repeat with them in Iceland on a longer tour

We were in Iceland for 9 nights and 10 days and Nordic Visitor made all arrangements for hotel/guesthouses, auto rental and air port transfers. All our pre trip questions were answered promptly, all of the accommodations at the comfort level pricing were fantastic with bery welcoming hosts and great breakfasts every morning. Wi fi hot spot provided with auto rental combined with the provided maps worked flawlessly. The planned itinerary, with limited.driving each day, and suggested points of interest were perfect. The phone provided was very helpful in making dinner reservations etc. I highly recommend this company and plan to use them in the future.

Had a fantastic trip for the Highlights of the Ring Road Tour. Our guide and driver Havar was amazing. He is passionate about his country, knows the history and sagas to share and invited and answered questions throughout the 5 days. Bottom line he made it fun and showed us the beauty of the country even through frequent rain. Some tips,most have been mentioned before
Layers Layers Layers. Prepare for any weather as you may experience them during the day
The hotels were good and each unique. There was only one that was a challenge but across the street is a little brewery so all is good. My favorite was the Magma and the country hotel on the last evening
Tip and request. It is getting common if flying in on a Saturday morning there will be delays getting to the gate, luggage etc. The airlines should schedule different to not arrive at the same time. Only reason I mention it is the Nordic Visitor driver will only wait so long from landing,regardless of situation which then left me stranded at the airport and $150 taxi ride. I recommend Nordic Visitor revise their policy, either have the driver come a little later or extend their wait time. Hopefully it doesn’t happen often but be prepared with the hotel address as there are several Center Hotels in Reykjavik. In fairness, the Nordic Visitor agent on call was very helpful to my taxi driver for the address
Bottom line. Expect the unexpected with weather AND expect the amazing unexpected from beautiful Iceland!!

My new wife and I wanted to travel Iceland for our Honeymoon but had no idea how to plan, schedule or book this major event so we contacted Nordic Visitors. They were beyond helpful. They helped us book a self guided trip around the entire island. They booked our nightly hotels (which included breakfast), they provided us with maps that highlighted points of interest based on our emails, they arranged for vehicles, and they helped us plan a schedule that we were able to maintain.
Now for the long version: if you have never been to Iceland, you are lost at trying to gauge weather, drive times and hiking excursions. Nordic Visitor helped make this trip an amazing memory. At first I thought that the travel distance of 250 t0 300 kilometers was way to short and I hoped that our destination town would have something to offer since I thought that I would easily arrive by noon each day. My wife and I left each hotel after breakfast (you will want this because food is very expensive, with the most affordable food being a Hamburg and French fries for $30) by 9:00 am. We followed the GPS, map and itinerary that was provided but with so many attractions we barely made it to our destination hotel by 7:00 or 8:00 o'clock each night, which gave us enough time to visit a great restaurant, and get prepared for the next day.
The Southern part of the Island was completely different than the Western part and this diversity never stopped as we travelled around the island.
I would leave everyone with this one thought. My wife and I met many tourist on our travels, whether it was in a spa, a restaurant of a coffee house, but most conversations ended up the same. They had missed most of the highlights my wife and I saw, they stayed in minimal standard hotels and they wanted to back track to find the attractions that Nordic Visitors put on our itinerary. This is my first time letting someone help me book my vacation since I liked to spend hours researching and investigating but I am ready to let the professionals help me make my vacations perfect!

We scheduled a winter trip to Iceland to see the northern lights and the highlights of Iceland near Reykjavik. This company had a tour that met all of our needs. The reservation process was efficient and organized. The staff answered by questions quickly by email and all of our questions were answered thoroughly. The transfers from the airport to the hotel were exactly on time, the hotels and meals provided were outstanding. We scheduled two optional tours and these were handled easily. The weather turned cloudy on our first night in the country, and then a major storm came through basically shutting down the southwest corner of the country. Nordic Visitor made changes in our itinerary in advance of the storm, changing one of the hotels and one of the tours. The kept us informed of the changes in advance. In spite of the weather, we had a wonderful time. We were pleased that they made the changes for our safety.
The tour van was very comfortable. The wifi worked well. The driver gave us plenty of information during the drives, but also gave us time to enjoy the scenery in peace and quiet.
The places we stopped for lunches were always nice. The food in Iceland is expensive.
This was a very positive experience and with the weather, wind, snow, and ice we will count this as one of our adventures.

I've just come back from a trip to Tromsø booked through Nordic Visitor and just wanted to come on here and say that I could not recommend them enough. All of the activites were planned and organised perfectly. On our first night, our Northern lights trip got cancelled due to the weather conditions, but the agent at Nordic Visitor contacted us straight away and resheduled the trip for us with no fuss. All of the trips were planned so that we were picked up either at our hotel or somewhere very nearby, they relieved all stress that can come with a holiday like this where you have a lot planned in a short space of time. They took care of all the details, were in constant contact with us and were always reachable! It's the first time I have booked a trip of this sort and Nordic Visitor made the experience a memorable one, it's definitely something I would recommend to anyone else thinking of doing this!

We had a Golden circle trip in the middle of July with Nordic Visitors.
We really wanted to have a vacation, after all these months of isolation. And we were afraid to travel in terms of constant changes in rules, flights cancelations, etc. We used to organize trips ourselves, but now it was pretty risky (and time consuming of cause :) Somehow we found the Nordic Visitors offer and this was just what we needed. They covered risks and that was very important for me, going vacation and be less stressed because of Corona, this is what I really appreciate.
They also covered covid test costs for us.
Our original flight was canceled and we had to get another one, so they helped to reschedule transfer from airport and answered very fast.
They provide us with all instructions and directions, so we had a bunch of options what and where to do, and all tips were excellent. Usually I know pretty well what to expect and read a lot before a trip, this time we had a room to be surprised. Every evening before the next day of the trip I opened papers from them, learn what to expect tomorrow and plan the next day according to their tips and instructions. They provided all materials in advance, but this time I really wanted to e surprised and did work very well.
They picked up for us all hotels, some of them were simply nice, some of them were really fancy with amazing view and service.
We got several custom options, we got whale watching tour and natural bath.
So this tour was very comfortable and the service overall is simply excellent.
We fall in love with Iceland. And going come back in winter time for sure with their help.
Overall the trip exceeded our expectations, many many thanks to Silja our travel agent and Nordic Visitors

For the private guided tours, what do the guides do when you’re at meals/experiences? We like the idea of being driven around but would still definitely want alone time
Written May 31, 2024
This was a small group tour. We were allowed alone time to explore and for most meals. The last few nights of the tour we had supper together as a group.

What are the self driving road conditions in mid-March, are the roads cleared, or icy and snowy? We've driven in the winter before but it's been a while. Thinking of a 8-10 day self drive around the ring circle road. Or would you recommend a small group tour instead, smaller the better? And how would we get the covid test on the tour 72 hours in advance of our flight back to USA? Thanks...

We spent a week in Iceland in mid March. We did not circumnavigate the whole island, but focused on the south shore as far as the Jokulsarlon glacier and Diamond Beach, where little bits of icebergs the size of small boulders float back onto the beach with the tide, and the western coast, up as far as the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The roads were well paved, well marked, well travelled but not crowded. We did get about 6” of snow, one day, but the roads remained open, and the long driveway to our Airbnb remained passable with a 4-wheel drive vehicle, which I recommend, even though we did not engage the 4WD. We saw no black ice, but that’s what I would watch out for in the event of precipitation, thawing and freezing. Driving felt quite safe and less challenging than in New England in winter. That said, you might get freak weather and should use common sense, being willing to postpone driving for a day, and just visiting local sites, if conditions are bad. I painted the gorgeous view from our window on the day it snowed, with a paint kit I brought along. Homes are well heated, generally. It’s good to have a rainshell which will fit over a winter down coat with a hood, a merino woolen cap for under the jacket hood, merino woolen underwear, wool socks, hiking boots, mittens. Little, elastic crampon-like things are a plus if you plan to hike on ice, but the local ice cave tour guides will loan them to you as part of the package. At about 75 years old, I liked having walking sticks.

For tours with some included dinners, will there be any problem if I don't eat beef, lamb and lobster?
Written December 12, 2019
There is no problem for any dietary you have. The tour consultant will ask you on what food you cannot take a month before your departure through email. You can let them know also before hand also. I personally don't take lamb, event they are very famous of it. They have the meals arranged to artic char (similar to salmon) for me. If you have any questions, you can ask them through their live chat, or u can email to them and they will reply you quite promptly.

How active is the guided tour? (natural wonders of Iceland). We’d like to take the guided tour to have the guide/driver but we also like to have a good hike which isn’t always possible with a group. Is it basic walking or some good hiking?
Many thanks!

Written February 13, 2019
Mainly walking. Ask the agency before booking regarding time to have, cost for a private guide to go hiking is my suggestion.
