“Amazing adventure. Splendid Islandic nature. Highly recomended) Black sand beach, ice caves and waterfalls - unforgetable experience.”
3-day small-group Iceland tour from Golden Circle to South Coast, Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, ice cave walk, and waterfalls.
“This trip is great. Our guide was Ragnar and he was very enthusiastic, funny, informative and really cared about our group having a good time. We had a group of 12. The bus pick up was on time. Since we went in mid January, daylight was only from approx 10:30-4:30pm. He made sure that we saw as much as possible in the short amount of time. We spend about 20-35 minutes in each place before driving to the next location. It was plenty of time to explore a bit and snap a bunch of pictures. It may have been a tiny bit rushed for some people but I would rather…”
Winter South Coast tour from Reykjavik with an ice cave at Vatnajökull, Golden Circle sights, hot tubs, and aurora chances.
“My partner and I absolutely loved this whole experience! It truly is such good value for money. Our guide Hakkon was wonderful and provided us with information around all of the different locations/ spots we stopped at. He was enthusiastic and fun and made the trip unforgettable. We felt that we were not comfortable driving ourselves around in the winter weather so opted for this multiple day tour and we were not disappointed! We were also able to store our big luggage at the head office which was very helpful. Thanks again!”

“Many stops each day. Adequate time to explore each area. Excellent friendly and informative driver and guide. Comfortable accommodations. Comfortable transportation.”
See the Golden Circle and South Coast in 3 days, capped by a Blue Ice Cave superjeep ride, small group comfort, and included hotels.
“We had the BEST time on this 3-day tour as Americans on our first trip to Iceland. It was a perfect way to see so much of the country’s natural beauty while being comfortably chauffeured around with a fun driver. Shout out to Addi at Nicetravel who was so friendly, knowledgeable, and cracked some pretty funny jokes. He definitely helped make this trip a positive one. The accommodations and food were all great, including the geothermal hot tubs and pools and a hip food hall on our first night. Plenty of washroom breaks throughout so everyone was comfortable. Our additional guide who took us on the superjeep excursion to the…”
3 days from Reykjavik through the Golden Circle and South Coast, plus Jokulsarlon, an ice cave, and a glacier hike.
“It was amazing. An experience I won’t soon forget, anybody looking for an adventure I think you’d be happy with this tour.”
Three days from Reykjavik to the Golden Circle and South Coast, with a blue-ice glacier hike and a Jokulsárlón boat tour.
“This tour is the best way to see all the highlights of south Iceland. Highly recommend. Great guides and made several short stops that were not on the itinerary which made it even better. This tour company was easy to get ahold of if you had any questions or issues.”
A family-friendly 3-day bus tour from Reykjavik covering the Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, and Snæfellsnes villages and seals.
“Nous avons vu une variété de paysages magnifiques. Notre guide du jour 2 était fantastique, encore merci à Sara pour son enthousiasme. En revanche deux aspects sont à améliorer : Le pick up par les bus est très mal organisé surtout si vous êtes à l’arrêt de bus numéro 12. En effet 4-5 bus arrivent en même temps et les guides assignés à chaque bus appellent les personnes de leur liste une par une. Vous devez donc tester chaque bus, attendre que le guide ait appelé tout le monde, avant de recommencer avec un autre bus jusqu’à trouver le bon. Il serait beaucoup plus pratique d’envoyer aux voyageurs le numéro…”
Private 3-day Reykjavik tour with Luke, secret photo spots and Northern Lights guidance, plus free images to share anytime.
“We took a multi-day tour with Luke last month and he delivered an experience beyond our wildest expectations! The mix of main attractions and remote secret locations was perfect! The wedding quality photos provided after the trip have allowed us to share our adventures with our friends and family.”
Hike Landmannalaugar’s crater lakes and volcano viewpoints on a 3-day highlands trek with hut stays, meals, and small-group guidance.
“Absolute highlight of our holiday! 3 days in one of the most stunning places on earth. We were promptly picked up from Reykjavik and once at Landmannalaugar, our guide Throstur introduced himself and settled us into the hut (which is clean and cosy -definitely bring good ear plugs). Throstur was the best guide, helpful and friendly and engaging. He gave us plenty of information on what to expect for each hike, therefore making it easy for us to decide what to wear and bring. On the hikes we had plenty of rest stops and opportunities to take photos. We had a fantastic little group, everyone was friendly and mucked in…”
3-day winter Iceland tour from Reykjavik, mixing Golden Circle classics, South Coast waterfalls, a glacier hike, an ice cave, and aurora chances.
“Our guide Eeli was the greatest. He took us to all the best spots and was very accommodating for bathroom stops and creating a custom experience for us. We found the itinerary to be perfect for the short time we had here. Eeli was highly knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide us with resources and recommendations for after we departed from the tour. The hotel we stayed at in Vik was simple and clean, which is exactly what we needed. The lunch stops and dinner options were also good. I highly recommend traveling with this company. They are reliable and offer a more personable experience compared to…”
3 days in Iceland’s Westfjords with fjords, cliffs, waterfalls, Viking and maritime stops, plus arctic fox and seal chances.
“Great tour, lovely people! Our guide went above and beyond to take us to places!! I really appreciate the little detail and stories he shared about the Iceland history and people. Our guide is very patient, friendly, humorous; great story telling skills and great driving skills :D Food was awesome - love all the lamb soup, amazingly fresh fish!!”
3 days in Iceland with Þingvellir, waterfalls, Blue Ice Cave, Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach, and a glacier hike with a small group.
“The 3-day trip was simply amazing and the entire credit goes to our guide Siggi. He shared many details of the places that we were visiting and laced his descriptions with a fair amount of humor. His energy was infectious. The tour itself was very well planned with the first day dedicated to waterfalls and geysers, the second day to ice (glaciers and ice caves) and the third day to lava. He showed us sights that were beyond those mentioned in the original itinerary. The hotels that we were put up in were also very neat and aesthetically pleasant. We felt that we got to soak a fair amount of…”
Every kind of Icelandic day out, and the best of each.
