I had an incredible trip exploring the South Coast of Iceland with Filip. He was not only an excellent guide but also a great driver. He shared lots of interesting information, took us to amazing places, and made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend Filip to anyone visiting Iceland!
Thank you
Filip was a joy to travel with. He put so much heart and spirit into his profession! We learned, we laughed and were comfortable in his presence. We were in expert hands!
We’re happy you felt at home with us!
Awesome and entertaining trip showcasing a little of what’s on offer in Iceland. The time at each location was perfect, Filip got us admitted to each location quickly and he made the bus ride a great experience with the perfect amount of information, good tunes and humour. The small group of 19 was a good experience, and I Couldn’t recommend this fun day enough.
Thank you so much, Hayley, for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and got to experience some of Iceland’s highlights with Filip. He’ll be delighted to hear that his music, humour, and storytelling made the journey even more memorable. We also agree, small groups really make the experience more personal and enjoyable. Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Iceland one day!
It was a great day and we highly recommend the tour.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re very happy to hear that you had such a wonderful day in Iceland and enjoyed the tour. Thank you as well for recommending us, it truly means a lot to our team. We hope to welcome you back to Iceland again someday!
Excellent experience, we loved it and Phillip contributed to it. We will definitely recommend it to our friends in the USA who are interested in coming to visit Iceland!
What an incredible two days! Bear was an absolutely outstanding tour guide — a fantastic driver, a trained geologist, and a natural storyteller. He brought Iceland to life through his knowledge of every mountain, glacier, lake, lagoon, and beach we passed, and kept us endlessly entertained with local lore: the puffins of the Westman Islands, his love of the glaciers, the “trash lagoon” where decades of buried waste erupted from a volcano, the trolls, the couple who met a wish-granting elf. The folklore alone was worth the trip. What really set Bear apart was how thoughtfully he approached the tour. He flipped the standard itinerary so we ended at Seljalandsfoss — a brilliant call, since finishing with that spectacular waterfall meant we ended on a high note, and anyone who got wet didn’t have to spend the rest of the day uncomfortable (most tours make it their first stop). He also guided us on the best way to experience each location — for example, visiting Gljúfrabúi before going behind Seljalandsfoss, so we stayed dry long enough to catch the rainbow shot first. We covered so much ground: Skógafoss, the glacier lagoon (where we spotted a seal!), Diamond Beach, the Justin Bieber canyon, and the lava fields. At Diamond Beach, Bear even showed us how to frame a shot using the ice — a small touch that made a big difference. To top it all off, we had glorious sunshine the entire time, which made everything even more magical. We’ve been on many tours, and Bear is genuinely one of the best guides we’ve ever had. I’ll be recommending him to everyone I know who visits Iceland — and telling them to request him by name.
Thank you for reviewing our tour, we are happy that you had a fantastic experience with us!
Really enjoyed the tour. Saw plenty of sights. The tour guide Anastasia was friendly and very knowledgable about all things Iceland!
Thanks for trusting us with your adventure! All the best, Nicetravel Team
We had a spectacular time on our 2 day glacier-ice cave tour with Kristof at the end of April. In fact, our glacier portion was the last visit to the ice caves allowed before the summer season. Everything about the trip was fabulous, our guide Kristof was excellent, full of tidbits about Iceland and the places we traveled. The hotel chosen was snug and cozy, with excellent food. Highly recommended!
Great to hear your enjoyed our last ice caving tour this season ! Thank you for your nice words for Kristof and for sharing your experience ! All the best Nicetravel Team
The 2 day tour to The South Cost was rich if experiencing nature. As a first time commer, I still can not believe I saw it all with my own eyes! At some points could be more informative about the geological origins and historical facts of what we see, making more clear distinction between merchandized statistics, sagas and science 😁 But sagas are very important part of this experience, of course. All the guides are very friendly and nice. I loved that they are used to make fun of inconveniences, which seems like a part of national character. Very welcoming!
Ahhhh, thank you! What a sweet review!
Impressed by the magnificent scenery you have never seen before! Ice caves was also a valuable experience on the last day before summer. The guides were also hilarious and had a great time! The hotel is lovely and I would love to visit again in winter. Thank you Takk fyrir!
