Wonderful two-day tour of Iceland's south coast

It was a great summer two-day trip to Iceland's south coast! Nicola is an experienced driver and a knowledgeable guide who explains everything about Iceland's history, geology, biology and more. Her taste in music is fantastic too! Her humour and enthusiasm have added a lot of fun to us along the way. At the same time, she will arrange the best possible tour route for us depending on the day's weather changes, which is so sweet. The whole trip was a bit exhausting, but we enjoyed many breathtaking views, most memorable of all the glacial lakes in the extreme daytime sun and the glacier trekking experience. The vehicle we toured in was also comfortable and spacious, with usb charging ports and on-board WiFi. The room was very comfortable. What moved me the most was that after my Apple Watch unexpectedly lost, the Nice Travel staff were very patient and enthusiastic in getting it back for me and answering my many questions in a timely manner. This watch means a lot to me, and I am very grateful to these kind people.

Super nice guide and trip

The whole trip was really amazing! I would definitely recommend it to all my fiends. We travel the south coast for 2 days with Adi. He knows his job well and has such a good sense of humour. I didn’t book the lagoon boat tour ahead and he tried to arrange that. And I think Adi personally paid for it because there was a lady celebrating her birthday and her seat was not with her husband. So Adi asked us to do the favour moving the seat and personally paid for this. Such a great person and fabulous guide! 👑👏 worth all the praises!! And the points of interest are quite good. I think I saw all the gems.
