An Unforgettable Golden and Kerid Crater Experience

The Golden Circle and Kerid volcanic crater small group tour was fantastic experience! Scenery was breathtaking, and the crater was a beautiful highlight of the day. Exploring Iceland’s incredible landscapes with a smaller group made the experience fell more personal and enjoyable.

Bus tour lacking in any real information

Having read the reviews I question that I was on the same tour as rave reviews. The bus picked us up from BSI stop. Hated we had to be there half an hour early and then wait some. The bus was driven by the guide who was somewhat vague about where we went once he had turfed us out the bus. No information from him on Iceland, the people, and even the places we visited were given a rather rambling and succinct introduction. I felt we were on a bus which dropped us off at certain locations and NOT on a small group tour. Guide rarely commented outside of a location. Bus was quiet and no efford made to get to know the passengers or foster a pleasant atmosphere. We went on another tour with Artic travel and it was much the same. Wondered why I had paid for a small group tour as the people on the larger buses seemed far happier and noticed the guide greeting people and having a chat. Not impressed.

Amazing Tourguide and amazing Tour

We had Filip as our Tourguide for the day with a group of 19 People. We had the Honor of being picked up First and it was already a very good start, since Filip brought alot of good Energy, Humor and perfect Music for every Occasion. For the Price we saw alot and learned alot about Iceland and the Nature here. I would do this Trip again every time and it was a Highlight of our Vacation here.

A must do Iceland experience

We did the Golden Circle tour with Nice travel and I couldn’t recommend them enough. A truly wonderful tour of a gorgeous country, stopping off at the geysers, a volcano crater and the famous Gullfoss waterfall. We also got the opportunity to try the unique geothermal bread which was surprisingly tasty. A special shoutout to our wonderful guide, Monica, the trip wouldn’t have been the same without her - she was excellent! Thank you so much for showing us your amazing country!
