Snaefellsnes National Park Day Trip

Excellent, memorable trip to Iceland made possible by Nice travel. Special thanks to Kristof and Thorey- both were amazing guides cum drivers who were quite knowledgeable and funny. Will highly recommend.

This was a wonderful trek around Snaefellsnes mountain and the peninsula. Our guide Hinrik was a delightful personality. He started the journey by telling us about the Icelandic saying “It is not necessarily going to go wrong”. Then he proceeded to give a tour that went right. He regaled us with facts we would have never found on our own. He DJ’ed the trip with Icelandic musicians and kept us on time for all the stops. He and the Nice Travel team exceeded our expectations. The journey is a full day and you will be tired at the end. You will be happy you took in the sites on the tour.

We were incredibly grateful to have Christina as our guide for a full-day tour of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Without a doubt, she was the standout guide of our Iceland trip and one of the reasons we left Iceland with such wonderful memories. From the very beginning, Christina was an excellent communicator. She contacted us ahead of time through WhatsApp/iMessage with our exact pickup time, and once we got on the bus, she promptly made sure everyone knew the Wi-Fi password and was comfortable and safe. She even showed us a clever trick for extending the seats, which made a big difference during a long day of travel. What really stood out was her knowledge and passion. Christina is a local Icelander, and it showed. She was extremely knowledgeable about the destinations and shared fascinating information about Icelandic history, geology, waterfalls, mountains, and the landscapes we were seeing along the way. Her explanations were organized, engaging, and easy to follow. You could tell that she genuinely loves her country and loves sharing it with visitors. She was also incredibly attentive to the little things. She helped passengers find the best angles for their photographs and made sure everyone had opportunities to get great pictures. She even made sure we stopped at clean bathrooms where we didn't have to pay to use the restroom. Yes, on another tour with a different guide, we actually had to pay to use a bathroom! One of the most impressive things about Christina was how responsive she was to her passengers' interests. When some passengers mentioned their disappointment about not seeing the Northern Lights, Christina immediately went into action. She checked the local forecast as well as the weather and cloud forecasts so everyone could make an informed decision about whether to join a Northern Lights tour or try seeing them around downtown Reykjavík. She didn't simply give an opinion—she gave people the information they needed to make their own decision. But what truly showed us what kind of person Christina is happened the following day. We were on a different NiceTravel tour to the South Coast, with a different guide. Around 7 PM, we were still stuck on the South Coast and becoming increasingly worried that we would not make it back to Reykjavík in time for our scheduled Northern Lights tour with EastWest Travel. Christina wasn't even our guide that day, yet she had texted us to ask if we were ready for the Northern Lights. When we told her we were still stuck on the South Coast and worried about missing our tour, she immediately stepped in to help. She contacted EastWest Travel, communicated with them on our behalf, and helped rearrange our pickup location so that we could make it in time. That was far beyond what we could have expected from a tour guide. She didn't have to do any of that. We weren't even on her tour that day. She simply cared enough to help. Thanks to Christina's kindness and quick thinking, we made it just in time—and we were rewarded with an incredible Northern Lights show that became the perfect finale to our Iceland trip. Christina is warm, caring, knowledgeable, articulate, and genuinely passionate about Iceland and its nature. She goes above and beyond for her passengers, and her care feels completely genuine rather than simply part of the job. Christina would be a great asset in training other guides. She represents the level of professionalism, knowledge, communication, and hospitality that we believe a great Iceland tour guide should have. She is the real deal. If you have the opportunity to take a tour with her, consider yourself lucky. We certainly do. Thank you, Christina, for making our Iceland experience even more special. We hope to return to Iceland someday—and when we do, we would absolutely love to join one of Christina's tours again!

Our tour guide addi made our day very special despite the weather, he was extremely knowledgeable about every stop we made !! Another amazing trip had by us both .jon & Kathryn Bedford xxxx

Although it rained, it was truly spectacular. The tour guide Addi was very nice, explained things along the way, and did his best to let us fully experience every attraction.
