Nicholas Tahernia

Addi was the guide for my tour, and I greatly appreciated the tour he gave us. He took us to every stop and even some added ones because we had extra time, and he gave great insight into the history of Iceland and everywhere we went. He is also hilarious and a fun person to be around. I would highly recommend the tour and if you can get Addi as your guide, then it will be amazing for sure.

Stojan Cveticanin

Nice tour, visiting two waterfalls with nice nature, glacier and black sand beach including view point. You can walk more or less, depending on priorities. Our guide was Siggi. He is polite and interesting, provide a lot of interesting facts and has a good sense of humor. I would reccomend this tour to everyone.

Shital Kelshikar

Tour was perfect way to see sights of Golden Circle. Colin was a great tourguide who shared wonderful knowledge and history about Iceland and the various stops we visited. We had ample time at each place to visit and had a great day visiting the area.

Everything was perfect thanks to our tour guide Bart! He shared so much knowledge and tips about each of the stops and we had ample time to visit each one including a couple of extra stops. His music playlist was great between the commentary making the long days comfortable. The hotel accommodations were nice with lovely staff ready to serve us hungry travelers with a variety of dinner options to satisy anyone. Highly recommend doing the 2 day trip to South Coast since the Ice Caves are natural and the Diamond Beach and Glacier lagoon visits are just incredible bucketlist places to visit. Highly recommend Nice Travel and Bart for an unforgettable South Coast adventure of a lifetime!

Nice travel was a good agency to do our tour with! My friend and I enjoyed it very much and appreciated their great customer service. They were responsive and helpful. The service was great. Guide was funny and knowledgeable. The sites were beautiful and our group was friendly so we met new people and had a great time. I definitely would recommend them. When I visit again or with family, would try to book with them again for other types of tours. it's always nice when a company puts the people first! Thank you!

a tour of the golden circle including the sky lagoon. which was quickly reorganised after the blue lagoon closed. a great day made better by our great guide Christoph

Awesome tour, Philip was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. He was very nice and helpful. 11/10! Would recommend and do it again.

The trip was amazing. We booked a 2 day ice cave tour with nice travel and our tour guide Thorey was the best!! She was very accommodating and brought us to the best sceneries. She is very pleasant and friendly. Throughout the ride she informed us of historical facts. Highly recommended! Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve visited.

Lovely experience with Thorey!!!! So energetic and reliable. Though there are big storms but we get it through. A trip worth remembering for a lifetime :)

Amazing day trip around the south coast with superb guide Mika! We were lucky the weather was clear so we could spend time admiring all the sites. He also managed to fit in some extra stops to see the Urriðafoss, Dyrhólaey Arch, a lovely church in Vik and some horses too. Mika was so nice to chat to and definitely made the day more comfortable, fun and very informative :)

Great guide that knows all the good spots to see the natural beauty and wonder of Iceland. Also knows the good food to eat.

Enjoy Icelandic hospitality in state-of-the-art minibusses

NICETRAVEL’s modern fleet includes Mercedes Sprinter minibusses with comfortable seating, USB chargers, and free Wi-Fi. The company offers day and multi-day tours covering attractions all over Iceland. Tryggvi Þór Ágústsson is the co-founder and CEO of Nice Travel. He was gracious enough to take the time for an interview.

Hey Tryggvi Þór, how is it going? Please give my readers a little background about yourself.

Hi all, my business background is in economics. However, my passion has always been Iceland and showing this country’s unique beauty to visitors who travel with us on our tours.

I am sure many things have changed in the Icelandic travel industry since you founded Nice Travel eleven years ago. What are the main changes you have seen during this time?

The main changes are the increased number of visitors to Iceland. More importantly, many guests visiting Iceland are willing to stay longer and see more parts of this great country. This is our reasoning for offering tours to almost all areas of the country.

What have been the highlights of 2023, and how do you see 2024 and beyond for travel in Iceland?

The highlights of 2023 for me and Nicetravel as a company is to be able to go about our daily lives and business normally. The big lesson from the Covid period is simply to enjoy life. Do not postpone what you want to do and experience. For 2024 and beyond, I hope happy visitors continue coming to Iceland. We at NiceTravel wish to continue to help make their Iceland adventure an unforgettable experience.

What can those who book tours with Nice Travel expect?

They can expect that we will continue to do our best to create a personal and enjoyable experience for every one of our guests.

Do you have favorite Nice Travel tours that you want to recommend to my readers?

This is a bit like asking to name your favorite child 🙂. I recommend joining one of our Ring Road tours for visitors coming to Iceland who can spend four or more days on a tour. These take guests all around the island. Iceland has so many different and beautiful sights to explore in each unique part of the country. Let’s talk more about favorite things; what are your favorite places and activities in Iceland? I was born and raised on a farm in the North of Iceland called Skagafjordur. From a very early age, I have owned and been riding Icelandic horses – so these two combined on a beautiful day are my favorites.

What advice do you have for those visiting Iceland for the first time?

My advice is to come here primarily to be ready to experience the power and beauty of nature in all its different forms. Iceland is a geologically active country, and the weather can significantly influence any visit here. So be prepared for adventure and that things don´t always go as planned – but it will be an unforgettable journey.

What to do with a few days in Nice, France

TikTok isn’t lying to you; the water off the coast of Nice, France, really is that blue.

I also came to find that the hype surrounding the French Riviera was not misplaced. Maybe I had rose-colored glasses on and not a Slack message in sight, but there was something magical about the southern French city.

While I’d like to be able to lay out a whole itinerary of my visit (that I, of course, planned beforehand), I can only admit to a penchant for a good stroll, during which I will find the principal of my daily activities.

Besides my internal desire to lead my own walking tours that take me into museums named after people I don’t know of and still won’t understand upon leaving, I have it on good authority that the best way to explore a city is to walk it.

Of course, you can take alternate transportation if you need to speed up your exploration or require other accommodations to make the most of your trip.

With a few days at your disposal, here’s how to get the most out of your visit to Nice.

Visit a museum or two

Now, this likely isn’t news to anyone who’s traveled to Europe before. Museums are probably on a majority of travelers’ lists, but believe it or not, I have specific reasons for including them here that aren’t just about seeing art. If you’re anything like me during my visit to Nice, you have a passable understanding of written French, less so of the spoken language. Museums are an easy way to practice both skills with the abundance of signs (that often have English translations) and docents that will speak to you in French regarding the art and your trip. I conversed in French for an excruciatingly long minute about where I was visiting from and why I was in Nice. Besides the language aspect, walking around a museum can give you a look into Nice’s past as well as the important figures in its history, while also posing a cool reprieve from walking around in the hot sun.

Museums to visit in Nice include:

• Le Musée Masséna : Located just off the Promenade des Anglais, this museum displays the history of the city and artifacts related to Napoleon. Housed in an authentic villa, the museum’s wares are on display for visitors daily, except on Tuesdays.
• Musée National Marc Chagall : Further from the coast, this museum’s offerings are slimmer, though the gallery is more than worth a visit. It traces Marc Chagall’s art and his spiritual/religious journey in tandem.

Dedicate time to multiple neighborhoods

One of the biggest mistakes you could make in Nice is confining yourself to one neighborhood. I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest trying to see as much as possible, but giving yourself a variety of sites allows you to get a better understanding of the city and, of course, more to love.

Due to my haphazard planning style and desire to explore, I made it a priority to see as much of the city as I could.

With only a few days, you are limited, so I’d recommend picking a few areas to spend time in over the course of your trip. For me, that was Le Musiciens, Jean-Médecin, Vieux Nice, Le Port and The Promenade.

Don’t skip the beach

If you’re going to Nice, you’ve probably clocked the beaches already, especially if you’re visiting in the height of summer. This may sound less pleasant, though, to travelers visiting in colder seasons, but I’d argue that there’s still much to appreciate about Nice’s beaches in cooler weather. The water is magically blue (which came as a bit of a shock to this native Californian), the reading on the beach potential is endless and people watching is always entertaining. Even if you aren’t planning on a swim, there’s nothing like bringing a baguette or pastry down to the rocks and watching the water ebb and flow when you’re on vacation. It’s part of the French Riviera experience.

Get that croissant (and then do it again)

One of the best parts about being in France is the access to high quality food, specifically decadent pastries. I am not embarrassed to admit that my pain aux chocolat counter hit 10 (over a nine-day trip), and my chaussons aux pommes counter hit three. On that note, I implore all travelers heading to France in general to find and order chaussons aux pommes. It’s the French version of an apple turnover, but each one I had beat every American apple turnover I’ve tasted by a mile. They say calories don’t count on vacation, but if they did I’d still recommend multiple trips to the boulangerie.

Take a day trip

There’s plenty to do in Nice, but I’d guess a day trip will only enrich your experience. The ideal cities for a day trip include Eze, Menton, Marseille, Monte-Carlo, Antibes and Cannes, though there are various other options. I, for example, made a new acquaintance and walked from Vieux Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer, a small neighboring town. In the high season, this town would have been bustling with tourists, but early November saw small crowds and an easy walk. The unwalkable day trips are made possible by a robust public transit system, which can be used to plan months in advance or the day of, so spontaneous day trips aren’t out of the question.

We Found Some Nice-Looking Natori Robes Under $50

If you’re a regular reader of the Strategist, you know of our love for Natori, makers of some of the best underthings out there. So we were delighted to see several of the brand’s bathrobes discounted — in the unlikeliest of places, Amazon — during this morning’s sales sweep . Admittedly, clicking through the available sizes and colors gets you different prices — with discounts ranging from 20 percent off to almost 50 percent off. But since Natori often sells out, we still think the news is worth flagging.

There are two styles that caught our eyes. First, the terry Nirvana, which comes with big patch pockets and contrast trimming on the sleeves. Plus, there’s an extra 10 percent off coupon at checkout, bringing some styles down to just $38.

Second is the Sierra robe, which is made from a light knit rayon-and-polyester blend, that’s selling out the quickest. But you can find the medium size in the “purple dove” color at 46 percent off. And either would make an excellent Mother’s Day gift, if you’re hoping to beat the last-minute shopping rush (and score a good deal at the same time).

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments , rolling luggage , pillows for side sleepers , natural anxiety remedies , and bath towels . We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.

Boston 25 Now

Weather Alert: Heavy rain and strong wind

STORMY END TO THE WEEK

Rain and wind will peak this morning across southern New England. Up to 1.5″ rainfall is expected. We’re not expecting widespread flooding, but ponding water will slow down the AM commute. Gusts up to 50 mph are possible in eastern and southeastern MA. Again, there may be a few problem spots but widespread wind damage is not expected. Gusts will drop to 30-40 mph in the afternoon.

Patchy shower will linger this afternoon with longer dry stretches. The clouds will finally break apart this evening. Temperatures will hover near 60 degrees all day.

WEEKEND IN VIEW

Saturday will mostly cloudy and mostly dry. A few sprinkles will pop up, but won’t reach all towns. Keep the Boston 25 Weather App on hand to keep an eye on that chance if you’re on the go tomorrow.

Sunday will start really nice with sunshine. Clouds will increase in the afternoon, leading to late day showers. This is a fast moving system and will have rain coming through during the overnight hours.

SCHOOL VACATION WEEK

Marathon Monday will be beautiful. Dress for 50s at the start line in Hopkinton and mid 60s in Boston at the finish line. Wind will come from the northwest 10-15 mph.

Tuesday will be a gem too. Mostly sunny skies will come with highs near 70.

Your opinion matters a lot!

Any questions? We will be happy to assist you!

You can also find answers to FAQ below

When you complete your booking, you’ll be asked to choose a pick up and drop off location. Where possible, we will collect you directly from your hotel .

Some parts of the city have traffic restrictions, so you’ll need to go to a designated bus stop for collection instead if your hotel is in that area.

This link will tell you which bus stop is closest to your accommodation.

There’s a 30-minute window for collection while we pick up other passengers from their locations.

At the end of your tour, you’ll be dropped off at the same place unless you choose to get off at another stop instead – that’s your choice! Drop off can also take up to 30 minutes.

Iceland’s weather is famously unpredictable, so you’ll need to prepare appropriately, whatever the time of year for your tour.

That means choosing the right clothes (light layers), shoes (sturdy and waterproof) and coats (windproof & waterproof). And not wearing jeans, just in case it rains!

We’ve prepared a detailed guide for you to read, full of tips and tricks to help you know what to wear, what to bring and what to leave behind! 

If you’re booking a multi-day tour of up to three days, the maximum “carry-on” bag size is 22 inches (56 x 45 x 25 cm or 22 x 18 x 10 inches)

If your multi-day tour is longer than three days, then your ticket includes “carry-on” (see above) and 24 inch “checked” baggage sized no bigger than 60 x 41 x 23 cm (24 x 16.4 x 9.2 inches)

For shorter tours, you can choose to add “checked” baggage for an additional fee during the booking process.

If you want to guarantee bringing a larger bag on a shorter tour, it is best to book in advance. Oversized luggages can not be taken on board but need to be stored prior the tour at either our office or at one of the public luggage lockers dotted across Reykjavík ( CHECK LOCATIONS & PRICES ).

If you wish to store your luggage at our office please contact us by email at [email protected]

At Nicetravel, we choose our overnight accommodations with care to make the best use of your time in Iceland, with reasonable drive times between stops.

You’ll enjoy a private room with en suite bathroom facilities and breakfast, WiFi, towels and, in most cases, a kettle for a morning brew.

Outside the capital, most Icelandic hotels are comfortable and unfussy, with friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff.

Enjoy the scenery while relaxing at the end of each day!

Hotel rooms are sold based on two adults sharing, so single-room occupancy is more expensive as a result.

If you are a solo traveler, we will not assign you a room with a stranger, so the single supplement fee becomes applicable.

If you are two people traveling together and staying in the same room but paying separately, the single supplement fee is not applicable.

Simply add the name of your travel companion in the “special requirements” section when completing your booking.

For couples or groups traveling together, rooms will be assigned according to the number of people who have booked together.

Depending on availability at each location, you may request twin beds if that is your preference.

Larger groups will be accommodated in combinations of triple, double and twin rooms – three people in a triple room, four people in two doubles or twin rooms, five people in one triple and one double, and so on.

If a person in your group would prefer a single room, you must select “single supplement fee” for them when booking.

Solo travelers must pay a single supplement fee in all instances.

Breakfast is included at each overnight location, featuring bread and butter, preserves, boiled eggs, cooked meats, fruits, yoghurts, tea, and coffee.

All other meals are at your own expense.

As the tour continues around the country, you can grab lunch and dinner at each of the scheduled stops, and we’ll offer recommendations if you want them!

Yes. We monitor the weather and road conditions on the tour route to maximize your chance to see Iceland’s attractions at their best.

Sólheimajökull is a magnificent glacier located on the South Coast of Iceland. It is an outlet glacier that descends from the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Sólheimajökull is famous for its breathtaking ice formations, including deep crevasses, ice caves, and dramatic ice ridges. 

The glacial environment of Sólheimajökull provides a unique opportunity to witness the effects of climate change, as the glacier has been receding in recent years. This caused new Glacial Lagoon to appear on the map of Iceland, where huge chunks of ice slowly float on its surface.
