The first 3 days with the tour guide Nikola were brilliant: she looked after everyone nicely and empathetically, drove very well and safely. We were very well informed about the route, sights and Iceland. Because of their nature, the international tour participants quickly became a great community. Unfortunately, the guide Kulli, who we had from the 5th day, provided little information and should also make some personal improvements with regard to older participants. Despite help with a participant's lost camera, which was then found again, he still has some "room for improvement" when it comes to working together. We as a group continued to be a close-knit community and helped each other. On the 7th day the group was split up (depending on whether previous booking with or without Blue Lagoon). The guide Buk we had on the last day was very empathetic, gave us a lot of information along the way and drove safely.

The trip was unique. A real experience for anyone who wants to see a lot of Iceland in a few days. Not just the tourist version, but other parts of Iceland too. Our tour guide Gulli was brilliant. He gave us all kinds of information about Iceland during the trip and I felt safe on the bus at all times. It's important to know that this is not a relaxing holiday, as we drove around Iceland in 4 days. An unforgettable experience with countless impressions of Iceland. Everything worked out well in terms of organization, so we had the opportunity to eat something at lunch and dinner. I would book it again at any time.

Our guide Gulli was absolutely incredible. We had a blast seeing so much of Iceland on our 4 day tour. I will say, the bus seats are not super comfortable so be prepared. I have bad sciatica and the seat belts hit right at the nerve, so I used a t shirt for some cushion. Also a warning: If you’re not prepared to be on a tight schedule with plenty of time to walk about, this is not for you. It is go, go, go. My husband and I are in our early 30s and we went with my dad who is in his 60s. We were all exhausted the day after. That said, all in all, it was a fantastic experience.

I was in the fence about self driving vs a guided tour and I am thankful that I chose the latter. It was so nice to sit back and let someone else do the driving while still getting to see majority of the sites that were on my list. On top of that I had the most incredible guide, Olí. All the accommodations were up to par and I ate some really great food. Highly recommend this tour to get the basics of ring road!

The 7-Day-Ringroad-Tour from 4th-10th October 2023 was perfectly organized! As a tourist all you have to do is to book the tour and lean back. I can’t describe with words how much I enjoyed my vacation thanks to Nice Travel! Gulli, Porky (you rock!) and Atti are great guides (and drivers) who revealed the true beauty of Iceland to us. I will never forget this wonderful experience! Thank you!
