We booked this trip to experience South East Iceland and did not want to drive. The activities were great our guide Inky was fabulous. The big problem was, we were picked up 2 hours late since their guide called in sick, so did not get to see all the sights and ran late all day and into the next day.
★★★★★ I highly recommend this South Coast tour with David the Guide. Everything was exactly as promised—and even better. Our guide, Jagoda, was outstanding. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, organized, and clearly passionate about Iceland. Throughout the two days, she shared fascinating information about the country’s history, geology, culture, and landmarks, making every stop more meaningful and enjoyable. What impressed me most was how efficiently she managed the itinerary. We maximized our time at every location without ever feeling rushed, and she even included a few extra experiences along the way. Her planning and time management were exceptional. The small-group format made a huge difference. It was comfortable, personal, and allowed us to enjoy each destination without the feeling of being part of a large tour bus crowd. Everyone in the group was punctual and considerate, which helped the tour run smoothly from start to finish. If you’re considering a South Coast tour, I would not hesitate to book with David the Guide. And if you’re lucky enough to have Jagoda as your guide, you’re in excellent hands. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication truly made this one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland.

We loved both our tours with David the Guide. They are local guides that are very knowledgeable and also funny! We even had a mishap with our hotel room, and our guide handled it for us and got it figured out. Can’t recommend enough.
Our guide, Agnes, was so so lovely and my family and I all had a great time! She was very accommodating, knowledgeable about the places she took us to, and genuinely made the whole experience super fun and enjoyable :) Would definitely recommend!
Thanks our tour guide - Sebastian. Although the weather was not great, but you made our trip! Lots of funny stories and information were provided! Thank you.
The tour was a great experience. Agnes, our guide and driver, was super nice. She was very knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting information, adapting the tour to the weather, adding on additional stops to make for time and made sure that we made the most of all the planned stops. The duration was satisfactory for the sightseeing stops and activities. Really enjoyable tour and would choose the same operator again.
Amazing 2-day tour with so many beautiful attractions and highlights like the diamond beach and glacier hike! Small comfortable group size of 10pax in our tour. Thank you Jagoda for the friendly hospitality and the extra stops! :)
Thank you for your kind review, it was our pleasure having you on tour!
We were 4 people on a 2 day tour with Nice Travels which involved a visit to Jokursalon & Vatnajokul glacier Ice Caves along with the south Coast drive . It was a wonderful journey with very helpful staff & and very amazing & fun Guide Olley. The hgihlight was they planned our ice cave tour at the perfect time in the morning which made us witness the glacier at golden hour. I highly recommend NICE travel if you are planning a visit Iceland & book some tours
