5.00The tour was brilliant and well organised. Brian was an excellent tour guide. He told us a lot about the history and culture of Iceland. The highlights were Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, Strokkur Geyser (my personal favourite) and the Kerid Volcanic Crater. We even got to see Icelandic horses up close. If you are planning to go on a tour of the Golden Circle, then I would recommend choosing Nice Travel without hesitation.
Great day out

5.00A great day out, seeing lots of sights. Walter was very enthusiastic (whoop whoop!), although possibly told us more about his life and family than Iceland! He looked after us though and we did have a lovely day.
Will only use Nice Tours in the future!

5.00What a fantastic adventure. The guide was fantastic (Thorri - though I’m sure I’m spelling that wrong). We got to see places that other tours do not go to and there was plenty of time to check everything out.
Great experience

5.00A fantastically beautiful tour with 18 people, where you get enough time to linger, eat and drink during the stops. Free, clean toilets are available at all major and well-known attractions of the Golden Circle Tour. The guide Mika is great! Informs you in detail about the spots and the locations. And initially we all tried a slice of Icelandic bread with butter baked in the lava floor - was very delicious and exotic. Thank you Mika for the great day with many beautiful and pictorial moments in Iceland. The weather was great, so you could capture the impressions on pictures and videos.
