Bart saves the day!

Bart was a life saver! We had hiccups getting to the tour pickup point on time. The NICE office was able to reach Bart, he circled back to get us and we were off! Day one of four was excellent! With thanks NICE and Bart🙏🏼

Great tour and guide!

Filipis was our awesome tour guide! He is very informative, personable and an entertaining storyteller! He was very knowledgeable and explained the sites along the way. I think my favorite was the Kerid Crater! Filipis was very organized and even took us to another stop a fellow guest wanted to see. That's very nice of him to accommodate. That shows he wanted to ensure we had a great experience! He also has a great music playlist to set the prefect vibe!

Great tour!

We took the Blue lagoon tour/Golden Circle Tour- it was amazing. It was a small group tour which was perfect. The driver Allen was terrific. As was Nate. There were some issues with our booking and pick up location.(My fault) Nate responded quickly each time and was very patient. I highly recommend.
