Fire and Ice

Our tour guide Bear, did a great job adjusting our schedule so we could maximize our time according to the weather. The ice caves and waterfalls were breathtaking. The accommodations were great and all the info was very well communicated! Great experience of Iceland and it's incredible history and endurance of the people that live there!

Super disappointed. Untrue advertising by Nice Travel cost us money and geothermal experience.

Nice Travel by name only! Travelers need to know the actual itinerary is neither provided on the website, nor explained to tourists who are on the tour in real time. This is one example. We booked with Nice Travel because their website offered lodging at a hotel with geothermal hot tubs on day one of the 3-Day Golden Circle Tour. In reality, they booked a hotel without any access to geothermal hot tubs. When asked, Ibby said they are able to change the itinerary. Maybe for weather, I agree, but not providing an advertised perk is pretty major. They refused to provide a discount, even when we made them aware of the ISK 10,000- ISK 20,000 price difference between the advertised experience and the reality.
