“Absolutely amazing! Easy to find at pick up with clear instructions. The tour guide/driver Addi truly made this tour amazing. He gave us so many interesting facts and stories and had the best sense of humour, I spent most of the trip chuckling. You had plenty of time at each stop, never felt rushed at all. He even added a few extra photo opportunity stops and we stopped and fed some Icelandic horses. The stops themselves were some of the most amazing sights I have ever seen, particularly Gullfoss and the geysir! I would 100% use Nice Travel again when I visit Iceland in the future”
