Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time on this 2-day South Coast tour with NiceTravel! Our guide, Thorey, was absolutely fantastic! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and caring, making the entire journey fun and enjoyable. She shared interesting stories about Iceland and made sure everyone had a great experience. The scenery was breathtaking, especially the glaciers, Diamond Beach, and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Everything was well organised, and we never felt rushed. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Iceland trip! A huge thank you to Thorey for making these two days so special and memorable. Would absolutely recommend this tour! 🇮🇸❤️

Christina made our Iceland trip absolutely magical!

Iceland is absolutely gorgeous in its own right, but having the right tour guide is an absolute game changer. Christina was incredible!! Knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny, and absolutely showed us the experience. She would tell us great places to eat, and great advice for all our tour stops. She was kind and energetic and she is one of our favorite highlights from our trip. I cannot shower her with enough flowers, except to let you know if you miss out on Christina, you’re missing out on an amazing trip.

The absolute best tour guide in Iceland!

I had the most wonderful experience on the 2-day South Coast tour (Oct 2–3) with Christina. She is hands down the best guide I’ve had in Iceland! Christina is exceptionally kind, patient, and sweet. Throughout every single activity, she was incredibly thoughtful and supportive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. Her deep knowledge and passion for the country are unmatched—having Christina as your guide really feels like having the ultimate key to everything Iceland has to offer. Thank you, Christina, for making this trip truly unforgettable! Highly, highly recommended!

Unforgettable Journey

This tour was an absolute 10/10 from start to finish, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Every single sightseeing spot on the itinerary was breathtaking—truly stunning views at every turn. What really set this experience apart, though, was the incredible guides. Our main tour guide, Henrik, was simply fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the absolute best experience at every location, anticipating what we needed and bringing so much great energy to the trip. When it came time for the glacier portion, we were handed off to Thomas, who was equally phenomenal. He took us to explore some incredible spots, including guiding us safely inside a glacier hole using harnesses and ropes. His expertise and helpful attitude made what could have been an intimidating activity feel safe, thrilling, and completely unforgettable. If you are on the fence about booking this tour, don't hesitate—it is worth every penny!
