5.00The tour was a great experience. Agnes, our guide and driver, was super nice. She was very knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting information, adapting the tour to the weather, adding on additional stops to make for time and made sure that we made the most of all the planned stops. The duration was satisfactory for the sightseeing stops and activities. Really enjoyable tour and would choose the same operator again.

It was a wonderful journey with very helpful staff & and very amazing & fun Guide Olley. The hgihlight was they planned our ice cave tour at the perfect time in the morning which made us witness the glacier at golden hour. I highly recommend NICE travel if you are planning a visit Iceland & book some tours
