Very pleased and a big thank you to Sofia in her prompt responses to our initial queries.  We are truly satisfied customers 

Everything was well prepared and organized. The rental car and accommodations exceeded our expectations.The dinners were wonderful and the hotel hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Cecelia was always available to answer questions. We had a remarkable time and the tour and also reserved extra accommodations for us as we didn't start the tour at the Arlanda airport but came by train from Gothenburg. We were so pleased to have travelled through the Swedish countryside and this was the best part of our time in Sweden!

A trip of a lifetime for us The communication between Nordic Visitor and us was great. Irja was very good at responding to any and all e-mails sent. The people who worked at the rental car agency and the hotels were very nice and helpful. The Swedish people were amazing in how they switched to English as soon as they figured out that we spoke only English. We were amazed! We know for sure that we got upgraded in two of the hotels that we stayed in (Karlstad and Kalmar) and two of the hotels (Vaxjo and Kalmar) provided not only the complimentary breakfast, but also a delicious complimentary dinner! It was a very nice bonus. All of the breakfasts had such a good variety and were very tasty, too. 

We'd like to compliment the transfer driver from Ballsta. Her name was Agneta Orellana. She was so nice and gave us some great tips for our trip. It was great to see her picking us up again at the end of our trip to take us back to the airport. What a lovely lady. Parking was a little difficult to figure out at some of the hotels. Being out of country, we didn't know how it worked at each of the hotels. Perhaps in your itinerary you could include some information on that. We did figure it out some after a few! There is a lot of walking to the rental car office and then to the garage that you pick it up. A little difficult not living in Stockholm, but again we figured it out and got it done. I could see that someone older might have difficulty with that. It was all a great experience, though. A trip of a lifetime for us.

My mom and I had a wonderful time in Iceland! Thanks to your planning of our car, hotel stays, and tentative itinerary, our trip was easy!

Iceland is a magical place which combines relentless epic grandeur alongside endless miniature wonders and Nordic Visitor really makes it easy for a first timer to discover it. The true stars of the show for us though were the genuine, friendly, super kind and quirky (the all-women punk poetry band 'Gertrude and the Flowers' was amazing!) Icelanders at every stop. Every single experience (bar one, the Arctic Fox Centre where the new owners really didn't seem to care about us or know anything about the centre) was absolutely wonderful, especially the Hestasport experience but also the Whale Watching and Vok Baths. Huge appreciation for the writing on the map (especially as some of the instructions, particularly on the North West fjords was a little hard to follow) and the many little touches and caring approach.

This was by far one of the best travel experiences I have ever had!

I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to several friends and work colleagues. I will definitely use Nordic Visitor again. Everyone was helpful, diligent, patient with my numerous questions, and put together a fantastic trip for me and my two sons. A tremendous thank you to Brynja for putting our itinerary together. Also, a big thank you to Klara, Daniel, and Ari for the additional help they provided. Rating A++

I don't think this should be sold as a 10 day tour - more like 12 or 14 days. 10 days does not provide enough time. My wife and I move at a pretty good pace and the drive from Höfn to Hotel Laxa was too long of a drive for one day (especially it one wants to stop and see a few sites or hike along the way). Same with Myvatn to Hotel Laugarbakki - that's too long a drive to really do all one wants to do in that area in one day.

At first we thought the small group tour would be best for us, but after more thought we decided that we wanted more flexibility and was very happy that we were allowed to switch to the self-drive tour. We worked mostly with Kristin who was wonderful and very patient given my large number of questions. All of the accommodations worked nicely for us and we appreciated the warnings about driving in Iceland. We had no problems with the car and the experience with Enterprise. The drivers who met us and took us by car and back to the airport were very good and gave us good information. Although you warned us about the possibility of slow service as the country opened back to tourists, we had absolutely no service that we considered slow or below our expectations.

I was so pleased with our experience that I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to several friends, and one of them already booked a tour for August. Everything was as amazing or even better than we expected. Being able to customize all our options online made it very transparent. And even the smallest guest houses where we stayed had amazing services and facilities. Would repeat tomorrow if I could.

Brynja was fabulous. Her response to emails and answers were impeccable. We were very pleased with all accommodations, all were clean with restaurant options in house or nearby. We were pleased with the route and the many options of highlights along the way. The map was fabulous, it has so much information including other activities and accommodations. We requested a fresh unmarked map for future reference and to share with other travelers but was unable to get one. If a map would be available, we'd certainly order it and pay for it.

We spent two nights in Reykjavík both at the start and the end of our tour. Our hotel accommodations in Reykjavík were quite good, and the restaurants we dined at were great. We did an 8 day/7 night tour of the Ring Road, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our hotel accommodations away from Reykjavík were quite good, and the hotel restaurants where we ate dinner each night were also quite good. Our guide/driver was great, and his vehicle was spacious and comfortable. And the sights were truly outstanding. What a great trip!

I felt we were able to see all the best of Iceland with the South and West Iceland Classic. It was wonderful having everything arranged for us and the itinerary book was so full of information that I will treasure it as I do my photos. Anita was wonderful to work with. She always answered all my questions promptly and relieved any anxiety I was feeling. I only wish I had gotten to meet her. But, due to covid, the office was not accessible.

Absolutely top notch from first email contact until the end of our trip.

My experience was fantastic! I am recommending Nordic Visitor to friends visiting Iceland. I will use them again when I return to Iceland and I also want to use them for Ireland. Thank you to my project manager, Alexandra, who worked so hard to make this a perfect trip for us!

Highly recommend Nordic Visitor and our guide, Gretar! Our hotel stay was wonderful and our tours were incredible! We love Nordic Visitor!

Planning a trip to Iceland can be very overwhelming. Nordic Visitor was a huge help when deciding on what car to drive and where to spend the night. The experience was delightful and would use Nordic Visitor again.

Tour was perfect. Very easy to follow. I didn't even have to contact Nordic Visitor because the guide was so easy to use and follow. I probably won't truly appreciate it until I go to a different country with no services.

Seamless. Easy. Fun. Great recommendations. Nordic Visitor was great to work with. We selected a tour and requested additional days before and after the tour. We were provided paper maps of Iceland and Reykjavík and a spiral booklet with our itinerary and attractions to see along the route. Any questions that we had were answered quickly by a representative of Nordic Visitor. We highly recommend them to assist you with your trip to Iceland or any other Nordic country.

We booked the tour well in advance. Nordic Visitor was always available to answer questions. Our personalized agenda was waiting for us when we got promptly picked up at the airport. We circled the island in our rental car all while enjoying the absolute beauty of the island and its people. The amphibian boat tour of the glaciers was breathtaking and the mineral springs/Blue Lagoon was a "I feel rich" experience. Overall, one of the best tours I've taken.

Thanks, Silja, for creating this itinerary for us - booking the car, excursions and places to stay, keeping us up to date on all covid related protocols. It was above and beyond our expectations. She was in touch with us, and quick to respond when we had any questions and even followed up when we thought some passports would not arrive in time. The hotels were great - clean and the views were absolutely amazing. We have already recommended this wonderful company to many friends and family and are hoping to plan our visit to Ireland/Scotland with you as well! Thanks, Nordic Visitor, for making our return to travel after covid an exceptional one!

There were errors in the itinerary that were corrected quickly, the country is getting back on its feet but you appear to have a team that cares. I hope you use this feedback to get the wrinkles sorted out. For all the things that did not go right there were plenty that did and overall we had a memorable trip. A beautiful and unique place.

The whole process from start to finish was professional, informative and responsive. My booking advisor, Steinunn, was superb. She was helpful, well-informed (and patient!). We worked together on an 18-day tour, taking in a huge array for activities which were exceptional: volcano helicopter tour, snorkelling in the glacial water at Silfra, super jeep trips to Thorsmork and Landmannalaugur, snowmobiling, glacier hike, ice lagoon rib tour, Husavik whale watching rib tour (amazing). The scenery is breathtaking with beautiful waterfalls everywhere (especially Gullfoss, Svartifoss and Godafoss), amazing canyons (Studlagil and Fjadrargljufur), and unforgettable close encounters with animals (humpback whales, puffins, seals and even foxes). The trip was truly memorable and went without a hitch... until I returned my hire car, which almost ruined the end of a wonderful trip. Thankfully, Lorna from Nordic Visitor's customer service department stepped in and sorted the problem on the same day, even though it was after hours. She went above and beyond so I would recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone... and I would recommend Iceland to anyone. Please note: one or two of the sites require a bit of a hike to get to although they are not really advertised as such. For example, Svartifoss is 1.5km from the car park, mainly uphill along a gravel track but it is worth it! Scott and Louise Aston P.S. I have some amazing photos too (especially of humpback whales in Husavik and snorkelling in the Silfra Fissure)

We took the 14 day tour around Iceland. There are so many things to see that we had extremely full days every day. The plan includes all the highlights and more so we had to skip a few of the attractions. Some comments: if an attraction is closed on certain days please note it. The Lava Museum is closed on Monday so we had to give up on it. In some locations it is not totally clear how to approach the site (in Dyrhólaey for example we missed the best photo angle). Several days had so many sites recommended that we had to do some on the next morning and it was the right thing to do (Dverghamrar and Dimmuborgir for example). Also it is advisable to note how far and how much time is needed to drive from one attraction to the next. Having said these, the plan was great and Iceland is beautiful and the team recommendations were great (especially the small coffee in Hellnar). One last advice: Sky Lagoon is at least as wonderful as Blue Lagoon and much easier to reach. But the best places to enjoy the hot tubs are the small places all over Iceland. 

I would still recommend Nordic Visitor to friends that have not been to Iceland before. However, I would suggest not making a final payment until the itinerary is received.

It was good to have Nordic Visitor make the travel plan. They did not handle the arrival logistics well as all US flights arrive at 6-7am and with a 5-12 hour quarantine, there was no assurance of a room or place to stay. We had to book an added night only with our pushing.

I am a seasoned traveler used to planning every detail of my trips, so I was skeptical about handing over control. So glad I did - excellent experience from start to finish! Even when I would add tours last minute, no problem, they were booked and fit into our itinerary. And when the helicopter trip was cancelled on our last day due to the weather, the refund was processed within hours. I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor.

Sindre and Jonina were both very helpful and friendly.

Nordic Visitor added value because of the amount of knowledge shared. We had lots of adventures to choose from each day. The Wi-Fi in the car made planning and communicating a lot easier.

Iceland was delightful since we were mostly lucky with the weather.

I tried to do the tour in 2020, and we all know what happened. Thor tailored my tour to my wishes and I could not have been more satisfied. The accommodations were first-rate and convenient. All hotel and guest house personnel were very helpful and accommodating. I would like to single out the front desk at Hotel Fron, they got me taxi cabs, printed out vouchers, PCR bar codes, and PCR test results.

Not having visited Iceland before, nor having seen the break down of accommodation rates I cannot be sure of value for money, but the convenience and prompt attention provided to us by Nordic Visitor would encourage me to recommend it to anyone.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Iceland and loved working with our travel consultant, Silja. The accommodations were great, and the itinerary and recommendations were very helpful. My only complaint (which is not the fault of Nordic Visitor but thought I'd pass along) is that the rental car took over 2 hours to obtain after we arrived there and seemed extremely disorganized. Otherwise we had a wonderful time, thank you!!

Weather was not good. Rained every day.

Nordic Visitor's organization of the tour was fantastic and our agent, Kristin, did a wonderful job answering all our questions before the tour. Due to tourism still being low, we enjoyed having less people at all our stops. We didn't see any whales on our whale watching tour, but they gave us a coupon to try again sometime and we were actually able to try again the very next day in Akureyri. We appreciated very much that Hotel Fron was willing to check people into their rooms very early at no extra cost to wait out our quarantine waiting on Covid results. We also loved that Hotel Fron was right on the main street so everything was easily walkable. All guides and transportation were on time and did a great job.

Iceland is certainly a fabulous location for a touring holiday, with incredible changes of scenery almost every day. So many gems just waiting to be discovered, some hidden, but many in almost plain sight from the road.

Very satisfied.

Each stop that was set up for us had a very good purpose. The accommodations were very good. The things to see and do were well planned and enjoyed. We visited 14 or 15 golf courses and played one, Brautarholt, and it was beautiful.

The Wi-Fi in the car was awesome! The accommodations were good. The trip was fabulous!

Nordic Visitor constructed a great itinerary for us that allowed us to see the highlights of southern Iceland (as far east as the Glacier Lagoon), in a short 6-day trip. While the days were action-packed, we had a good amount of flexibility in terms of how many stops to make on any given day. They also had us do the longest drive on our first day outside of Reykjavík, which worked great. We learned about so much more to see that we didn't have time for on this trip, and can't wait to return! The only foibles with the itinerary involved finding the right location for booked activities. For our glacier lagoon boat ride, the itinerary had a typo that sent us to the wrong place. Fortunately, we were still able to make it to the boat on time. Some other meeting points were a little hard to find as well - it would have been helpful to have GPS coordinates for all itinerary stops.

Alexandra was very prompt in returning emails and was most helpful.

A very good tour with good information and map with highlighted attractions and a very good information pack.

Due to the SARS-CoVid-19 conditions, the trip was more than expected. Unfortunately for Iceland itself, not many tourist were there to help with the economy. The service and communications with Silja and the others of Nordic Visitor was excellent and could tell they were trying their best to keep us informed of the consistently changing conditions due to SArS-CoVid-19. It was a shame that we did not have time at the end of the trip to stop by the office again and discuss the trip.

We could not have been happier with this experience. The information and travel plans were brilliant. We had a great time and felt so welcome in your country. We would love to come back in the summer and see it in that season. It was a real pleasure travelling around in the thick of the whiteness across the country. The safe travel.is site was invaluable for travel conditions.

Nordic Visitor made our entire experience flawless. From the planning and booking to the holiday itself. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience

This is our second time using Nordic Visitor.

The tour went very well. All the accommodation was excellent. We are very pleased with all the arrangements and communications that we had with Rebecca. The accommodations, destinations and car were great. Our only wish is that we would have had more time at some of the locations. We had a hard time packing it all in!

Our second trip with Nordic Visitor. Recommended friends who went to the Scandinavian countries with Nordic Visitor and they were very satisfied.

All of the hotels had great food and people. Response time was excellent -  Agnes was very attentive. The packets were wonderful, we referred to them constantly. The big map was very helpful as well.

My husband and I had a fantastic time visiting Norway, it was a dream vacation for us!

This trip was very well organized, as far as time traveling each day, stops along the way, time to truly enjoy each stop, I never felt rushed. We got to see the Northern Lights! I felt like I took an Earth Science course during this week. I was truly amazed at the geology of Iceland- I have not stopped talking about the glaciers, waterfalls, lava fields, tectonic plates, natural hot springs, Blue Lagoon, Icelandic horses, geothermal energy to anyone who asks me how my trip was.

It was a great experience! Nordic did all the work organizing our trip, which went incredibly smoothly. It was the most stress-free trip I've ever taken, and we saw much more than we probably would have seen on our own.

Very good from start to finish - thank you !

Everything was great!

Excellent and exciting adventure.

I can't find anything wrong with the service or experience we had booking through Nordic Visitor. I will keep on advocating how great our travel experience was with you. 

Excellent accommodations, food outstanding, perfect weather! The tour was superb. I have been praising Nordic Visitor to friends since returning... with a special shoutout for Eirik, our guide. He made the trip an A+++ experience!

Loved working with Mikael! I have a lot of experience producing events and travel in the classical music business worldwide and I can tell you he is excellent. Everything was perfectly and strategically organized; clearly the hotels were chosen for their locations as well as quality, the itinerary was seamless and so easy.I really appreciated the expertise which made the planning so easy. Never having been to Scandinavia, it was hard to know where to start!

Wish the company was everywhere! Everything was just so easy and helpful, if we travel to any nordic countries again we would definitely book through Nordic Visitor again. If you open or expand services to all of Europe, Asia, or South Pacific we'd love to use services as well! Or if there is a sister travel company for those areas we'd love to know.

We were thrilled with all of our accommodations. All hosts/hostesses were very friendly and we felt very welcomed. The rental car service was also very good and thorough. And we felt as though everyone had a good working relationship as the businesses had nothing but great words to say about Nordic Visitor so we felt good that everyone was working together to make our visit a great one!

Everything was arranged as expected. Our tour guide always called ahead to make sure the hotel or guesthouse was expecting us. We did everything that was on the agenda. I loved everything from the food to the tours, walks, museums, and everywhere we stopped. I am still in awe of your wonderful country. Nordic Visitor seems to be a very well run, organized company. I had no problems.

We thought the daily itinerary was very well planned - several stops that were never more than 45 minutes from one another and never too overly ambitious. The recommendations for places to stop for refreshments were also very good. The itinerary also distinguished between the 'must see' and the 'if you have time'. It was obvious that the itineray was prepared by someone who was extremely familiar with the sites. We enjoyed the trip immensely. It was better than we hoped it would be.

From the moment we booked the tour I was recommending Nordic Visitor to my family and friends! Booking with Nordic Visitor made our trip stress free and hassle free! We had the most amazing trip and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much to our travel consultant Thor for organizing such an amazing trip, we now have such beautiful memories of a beautiful country. We were extremely happy with how our Tour was prepared and the itinerary couldn't have been any more perfect we got to see and do everything that we wanted to. Thank you so much

We have now taken two trips with Nordic Visitor. Three years ago we spent two and a half weeks in Sweden (self-driving) and this self-driving three-week trip to Scotland/Northern England. Both went off without one single problem and were the two most enjoyable trips we have ever taken. Thanks again for assisting us in putting them together.

Going to visit a different country that you have never been to can be overwhelming. Nordic Visitor made it so easy for my husband and I to travel to Iceland and have a wonderful time! Everything was mapped out for us and we could do what we wanted, but with guidance, so we were not scrambling around with no direction. What a beautiful place! You guys made our anniversary so special!!!! Thank you so very much!

Our experience with NV has been a joy. Alda has been terrific and very accommodating to our needs and we could not have asked for more from you or her. 

Mikael provided superb customer service. Very pleased with his attention to detail. He was very courteous and quite helpful.

The trip was perfect!

Hanna was fantastic to work with. Even when she was out of the office, a different agent would respond to me with answers to my questions. We felt very prepared before arriving in Iceland. Really just had a great time. Everything went exactly to the plan. There were no issues with the car, check-ins at the hotels/guesthouses, the airport transfers were always on time... just a fantastic trip that was planned out very well.

We went to explore family ancestry, I inquired with several different companies and Sarah was the only one to reply with information, and stops in the itinerary on the Clan Comyns. She did her homework to plan our trip.

I enjoyed the small group size and getting to know my tour mates. I most enjoyed the Fjord part of the tour.  Flam was amazing and the accomodations were fantastic! This was my second guided tour with Nordic Visitor, and I will look to do other tours with Nordic Visitor. I have recommended to friends and 2 have used for self-drive tours in Iceland. I also wrote a positive trip advisor review on my Iceland tour and it was read by 1,500 people! I will give another positive write-up on this trip. I love to look at your website (which is one of the best travel websites I've seen) and dream about where I may want to go next.

The trip was great..extremely lucky with the weather - only one raining day (when we visited Askja crater)....but still ok since that day we had a warm bath in Viti crater :) The landscape was fantastic...we enjoyed a lot...from south to north, from east to west....as I told you we spent one day in Askja...then we visited Vigur and Ingolfshofði... We took more than 2500 pics, we drove more than 3300 Km...and for my friend I think this experience was even more exciting since It was the first time in Europe. We met many friends on the way - most of them "Nordic people"...we slept in great places....had bath in hot springs in the mountains...everything went very well.

Cannot think of a single thing to be improved, from the smoothness & lack of glitches at all check-ins to Alda's recommendations for dining in Stockholm to Nordic Visitors' overviews.

I have already recommended Nordic visitor to others. The price was very reasonable, and accommodations top notch. As we did the self guided tour the side tours available that we took were top rate. We enjoyed being able to spend time exploring on our own and not being bound by a full schedule. The transportation was wonderful. Our guide, Alda, was very helpful.

We had the best time and experience, the self-drive tour was easy to follow and gave us enough structure to see a lot in a small amount of time but still gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace. The restaurant recommendations were really helpful and the places we stayed were so memorable and inviting. It was also great that we had the flexibility to add another day to Edinburgh at the beginning of the trip to explore. I'll highly recommend the tour agency.

Sarah my travel advisor was incredible!!! She took a lot of time to help me plan the most exciting vacation I could have ever hoped for!!

I was a little bit worried about using an online tour company I had never heard about but Nordic Visitor blew away any fears right from the start. Christoph made me feel like he would take care of everything and he did!!! We couldn't have asked for a better family holiday in Scotland!! Christoph was fabulous at getting back in touch when I emailed him. I never had to wait more than a day even with the time difference to the U.S. The accommodations were fantastic! Our hosts made us feel right at home and the accommodations were comfortable.

Our entire experience with Nordic Visitor was very positive. I liked the wide variety of tour experiences from which to choose.  Therese, our tour representative, was responsive to my questions and I felt very supported should the need arise for assistance during our trip.  All arrangements met or exceeded my hopes and expectations and I look forward to considering Nordic Visitor for future travel plans.

Annie was amazing! She put together a fantastic package. We visited Annie in Edinburgh before and after we traveled the country. She was incredibly helpful.

Sarah, our travel consultant, was very helpful and was quick to respond to any questions. We have used Nordic Visitor to travel to Iceland as well and we have had a great experience with both Scotland and Iceland.

Please increase your reach to other destination sites! You guys are the best and truly have a good grasp of what you are doing. We would like to go world wide only with Nordic Visitor... though, I guess it wouldn't be called Nordic Visitor then! lol, but seriously, if would be great! :)

Perfect tour. Perfect tour Operator.!!

Stephen was our guide for the tour and was a huge reason we give the tour high marks. Pleasant, knowledgeable, creative and conscious he found ways to make the sights and their history come alive. He is a great representative for you and for Scotland!

This is our second time using Nordic Visitor and both times have been absolutely wonderful! The stress of having to book accommodations and arrange car rental and travel from the airport is completely eliminated by utilizing this travel resource. We will for sure continue to use Nordic Visitor and have shared your information and website with many friends and even strangers.

We had the best experience with Nordic Visitor!! We got married in Iceland before starting our tour and Dagny worked around our schedule and was extremely fast to reply and organize. She even left a sweet note and treats at our first hotel on our honeymoon. Nordic Travel took all the stress of planning our honeymoon away so we could focus on our wedding. I can't express enough how awesome our trip was and how thankful we are for this travel agency. There is no way we could have planned a trip any better than this. We can't wait to plan another with Nordic Visitor!

I had a very positive experience with Nordic Visitor and would recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends!  Thor was amazing and very helpful and I truly appreciated his assistance in answering my questions and preparing my Iceland trip!

We loved the little extra tips on our map and took advantage of as many as possible. 

We had a really good time. Thank you for everything.

This was a wonderful vacation and I want to thank you for making it so special. The tour was beautifully organized without being too much which allowed us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves while exploring your beautiful country.

Overall a wonderful trip and wonderful experience with Nordic Visitor.

Just a "thank you!" We had a wonderful vacation! We both agreed it was tied with our other favorite (a stay in the rainforest of Costa Rica) for #1! We loved Scotland and your company made it easy and affordable!! Christoph was great too!

We loved our trip. Everything was well organized and made it so much easier for us. We can't wait to take another trip or even return to Iceland again. 

Second time we've used Nordic Visitor and they will continue to be my first choice for booking tours. Excellent service from travel consultants, value for money and the information provided make it an excellent company. 

We came back a second time because the experience was so good

Nordic Visitor was thorough and informative. I would highly recommend it especially to first time international travelers such as myself.

Everyone was very helpful and professional.

Our travel consultant Ævar was very professional, courteous and helpful as we needed to alter our tours due to inclement weather. He also answered all our concerns before we made the trip. Type of car, driving conditions, places to eat, shop etc. 

The tour activities on this trip were some of the best things we have ever done in our many years of international travel and everyone we were assisted by before and during our stay were very helpful, friendly and supportive so this added greatly to our overall fantastic experience.

Overall the trip was a wonderful experience. Tromso was beautiful. I have great admiration for the people of Norway and especially the fortitude of the Sami farmers working in temperatures as low as 50 degrees below zero. Many thanks again for helping us to arrange this trip.

Activities Very well coordinated- Schedule well balanced that let us time on our own to visit the city and to have tours - We have taken advantage of every minute of our trip to Iceland and have created a lot of great memories. Amazing and magical trip!! Thanks to you - Thanks a lot!!!

Silja was quick with her email replies and was very professional during the whole process. She was also very helpful. Nordic Visitor made things easy and transition very smoothly. It was stress - free vacation for us!

Carpe Diem was written in the amazing *ICE HOTEL* - this sentence describes exactly this trip! Totally recommended. I am attending to visit Kiruna again for sure.

The New Year's Eve event was excellent and far exceeded our expectations.

Amazing. Would definitely book again. Thank you!

Larus made the whole experience of organising the holiday very enjoyable.  We are not seasoned travellers but this experience has given me no doubt in using Nordic Visitor again to book a holiday in the future to another Nordic destination.

I have told everyone I know about what a great service you provide. As a single traveler it is very comforting to have complete confidence everything has been taken care of. I don't believe my experience would have been so rewarding if you hadn't been my guide. Nordic Visitor met and exceeded every expectation I had. Thank you SO much.

Glad we found you amongst all the other tour companies we could have chosen from.

I am telling all my friends about the excellent service and value i got from my tour with Nordic Visitor! Kerr was my travel guide. I was very lucky to get such a knowledgeable guide. I am proud to say i can call him my friend, and when i return i will ask for him by name!

Excellent customer service Really well organised Personal touches Excellent hotels Fantastic !

Accommodations were excellent. The rental car was also very good. The suggested itinerary and pre-highlighted map were very helpful and we kept to the itinerary with a few side add-ons. All pick-ups (at the airport, to go to the rental agency, and then to return to Keflavik) were on time and very good. I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to two friends who are planning trips to Iceland.

To echo my earlier comments, the trip was fantastically thought out and felt very personalised to us. We even had one adviser, Kristín, get in touch with suggestions to reorganise our day to ensure we could maximise our time which was great. I'd like to thank you for organising such a perfect trip in what has to be one of the most beautiful and friendly places I have ever been! I have nothing but positives to bring back from this trip and would highly recommend you to others

Thank you for your wonderful services. It made our honeymoon stay very enjoyable. We hope to book again soon. 

Annie was just superb to deal with both over the phone and with the internet. She was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. Loved Cocoa Mountain in Durness. We truly enjoyed Orkney Island and also the Islands of Harris and Lewis. Since we punctured a tire, we were grateful to have the insurance package.

Klara was wonderful and did a fantastic job in setting up our trip

I would definitely recommend your company. Very helpful on the phone when booking and arranging extra items such as GPS. Very good English spoken.

Everything was done to perfection and made our visit worry-free. Great work by you folks. I can't think of what you could have done better

Extremely impressed with Nordic Visitor, its staff and services-cannot be more complimentary.

Nordic Visitor handled everything very professionaly.

We were very happy with Nordic Visitor and the service we were provided with.  Everyone was very helpful and very responsive!

I was very happy with the level of organisation and information that we were given for our trip. I loved that we got to keep a book that represented the sites visited on our trip. The big map with the route and sites to visit marked on it was also appreciated. We only needed to call the office once during our trip to change the itinerary and Larus was very accommodating. I would definitely use Nordic Visitor again.

This was the trip of a lifetime. It surpassed our expectations. We love Iceland - Mother Nature at her best. Every turn had a new adventure and we just didn't want it to end. Your company did a fabulous job in giving us travel options and lining everything up for our arrival.  I have used other travel agencies and I only wish they were as professional as you. Thank you for such a great time in your country.

Overall, I'm really happy that my mom found Nordic Visitor and recommended that we book our honeymoon through this company. It was a really great decision! I personally had never left North America and traveling abroad  was a little scary but knowing that everything was planned out, and ready to go for us was a relief. I really like the self-drive tour aspect too because we got to stop and do whatever wanted along the way and as long as we made sure to make it to our hotel at a reasonable hour to check-in, we felt like we could explore to our hearts content.  

Absolutely superb in all aspects from start to finish. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone interested in visiting Iceland. 

Hotels were all excellent.  Wonderful service at each place.  Couldn't have been happier. This was a stress free trip because of the planning provided by Annie. I was able to review things to do with our kids so they could pick out the things that they wanted to do and see while visiting Scotland. It was nice to have a list of options to pick from.  Every day was great.  I especially loved the map with the highlighted routes, hotels and points of interest.  While filling up the car, I got out to unfold the entire map and flip it over so we could see the upper section of Scotland.  My daughter told me that people were looking at me as I did this.  I told her they had map envy!

Overall, our experience with Nordic Visitor was fantastic. Our travel consultant was very helpful and always there to answer any questions we might have. Everything was planned perfectly, I would not change a thing! 

We were very impressed with how well organized and detailed the travel plan was. We had absolutely no problems with the plans and chosen itinerary.

Our travel consultant was helpful and extremely responsive. He answered our questions, while also providing additional insights about what our options were for travel and activities  He was an invaluable part of our experience. Additionally, the handwritten notes on our map led us to some of our favorite experiences in Iceland. 

The information packet provided at the beginning was very helpful particularly the maps being marked up

It was a wonderful trip, all the arrangements went smoothly and we felt very comfortable traveling Iceland. 

The organisation and the information were fantastic and would highly recommend Nordic Visitor to others

Very smooth vacation. Days were organized well so there was lots of time to stop to see the things we wanted to see and not feel rushed. Hotels were easy to find. Everyone we spoke with at Nordic Visitor was friendly and helpful (as were all the Icelanders we encountered). I am already telling everyone who asks about it to go visit Iceland!

Petra was a pleasure to work with, and provided service above and beyond. The itinerary was customized to our needs with no reluctance or difficulty.

This is our second Nordic Visitor trip and they both have been wonderful trips.  We've enjoyed many of the excursions you've recommended and are grateful for the expertise of your staff who planned our trips. When you add Faroe Islands to your itineraries, let us know.

Was a great time. Tour was a lot of fun. The Norwegian drivers and hotel staff some of the very friendly and helpful. Tour was a great value. Lifetime of great memories. Makes me want to go back to Norway again!

All accomodations were perfect. All hotels were close to all the local attractions, easy to get to from the airport, train station, ferry station. All the rooms were ready when I got there, they were clean and comfortable. The included breakfast were really delicious. I am a vegetarian, and had plenty of options. My whole experience with Nordic Visitor has been exceptional, and I have been telling everyone of my friends how easy everything was. Sofia was very patient with me, and worked with me, to tailor the itinerary to my satisfaction, was prompt in answering all my questions. Everything was done over email, which I loved, because I didnt have to rely on my memory. All in all, Nordic Visitor rocks! This was truly a trip of a lifetime! 

I wish I were younger! This was my first tour and cruise, and it was exciting and fun. Loved everything our travel agent Petra arranged. She is wonderful

I've already started recommending you!  This trip was fantastic. I can't imagine it having gone any better. It was planned perfectly (not so planned that we had no down time), the hotels were amazing, the country was amazing, the trip was amazing. I could not be happier. I wish there were an 11 on the scale!

I have already recommend Nordic Visitor to several friends and family members! We had an absolutely amazing trip and I can't wait to come back! Everyone was helpful and patiently answered all of my questions. I'm very happy we chose Nordic Visitor for our trip and I would choose them again! 

Excellent company to work with. The materials provided to us were well chosen and very helpful. We asked for additional copies of the road map and bound guide and these were waiting for us on our return to Reykjavik.  A pleasure doing business with Nordic Visitor.

We usually book all our own arrangements, Italy, France, Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland etc but it was very nice to leave it to you folks to handle it in such detail but leave it to us to execute...worked out very nicely. I will highly recommend the service. Helga, our agent was great. 

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the trip .It was a very memorable experience

I thought the hotels which were chosen were excellent!  I was also very happy with the planned itinerary.  Christoph was excellent.  He was very receptive to questions and always got back to me.  I can't wait to book with Nordic Visitor NEXT summer!

Everything was perfect.  We had no problems.  We would definitely recommend them to any one going and wouldn't use another company ourselves to book a vacation with.

I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to many friends who are interested. Thank you for the chance to visit your country. I have now been to thirty countries and rate this experience at the top. What impressed me also were the number of young people, drivers, waiters, hotel staff, who were so excited to meet and show their country. The most impressive part of this trip was Iceland and her greatest aspect, her people. I look forward to returning.

The overall trip was very enjoyable. Everything exceeded our expectations  Keep up the good work.

Nordic appear to be professional, aware of the best locations to visit and stay. The suggested tour is well balanced between places to see and covering the distance. We were very impressed with the standard of accommodation given that we only booked "standard".

Everything about our trip was perfect. Our guesthouses were exceptional. Absolutely brilliant.  Maria went above and beyond for us. Thank you so much. 

I have done two once circle tour of Iceland and now Scandinavian east to west. Your professional attitude in handling the minutest details is something I admire the most. It helps everyone to be prepared. Thanks

Kristin was amazing from the very start. without her help, I do not think this vacation would have been half as wonderful as it was. would recommend this company in a heartbeat!   

No muss, no fuss. Everything was wonderful. Iceland speaks for itself.

Thank you for a wonderful vacation, going through Nordic Visitor made our trip easy to plan and go smoothly. Thank you Ævar and Nordic Visitor! Every question we had you answered. We hope to travel with you again :)

Klara really was excellent in answering questions and helping us prepare for our trip. We ended up getting off to a very bad start when we missed our flight on Saturday and could not get another till Monday (totally our fault for missing it). Needless to say with different stays and activities lined up each day, we were quite distraught at the impact this would have. We called the nordic emergency help saturday night and reached Stella. She handled the changes immediately, rebooking stay and activities and really made us feel much better about recovering from our mistake. In times like this, having good people to work with really provides incredible value. Our thoughts on the nordic staff are just generally "amazing". So we just say thank you to all these fine folks who helped us to visit country we had never been to and one of the most beautiful we have seen!

We were very impressed with the service provided. This was one of the best organised holidays that we have been on having travelled in the USA, Canada and Europe.

I had a very positive experience with your company.  Christoph was extremely user-friendly in terms of dealing with the one-off aspects of my travel (such as bad-timing associated with being in Edinburgh the same time as the marathon was being run there).  I tend not to like organized travel companies since in their efforts to come up with an itinerary that is one-size-fits-all, they tend to recommend the most common/touristy sites and don't provide sufficient opportunity to check out more off-the-beaten path destinations.  That was not a problem at all with Nordic Visitor.  I am a very satisfied customer and only wish that you provided service in destinations I am more likely to visit in the future!

One thing only... extremely happy with everything!

We greatly enjoyed the tour and have specifically recommended it to friends already (to see if they want to join us for another one!). Thank you.

We wish to repeat our appreciation for all that Nordic Visitor did for us in ensuring that our tour was so relaxing and comfortable; and made for a wondrous experience in such a majestic country.

On our trip, we met a few other Americans. Told them about Nordic Visitor and they were impressed. I found Nordic Visitor's website very user-friendly. I love that all the documents sent was super easy to just hand the concierge and the 2 excursions we booked already had our names down. I loved the 2 excursions in the package we chose. Overall, it exceeded my expectations and I'm so glad I chose this particular trip. 

Everything was wonderful. It was the experience of a lifetime. My daughter and I had a blast!

Margret was awesome to work with! Very responsive, very helpful even once we got there! A trip we will never forget. The guest houses and hotels were awesome, and the activities were great! Rental car was awesome and it was overall a fantastic trip!

The combined organisation of your staff has been incredible. When a snow storm hit Iceland we were contacted by consultants and alternative accomodation was arranged without additional costs. We had zero stress our whole trip as a result of excellent forethought, planning and distribution of the information needed for our trip. Also the tips marked on the map about food, sightseeing things etc were a gold mine. We used the travel guide with sightseeing locations and suggestions from all the staff on our entire drive throughout Iceland and it added to our experience tenfold. Any of the additional costs of using your company rather then booking everything ourselves was 100% worth it, There is no way we could have researched all the things Sirry suggested to us and booked it ourselves. It really was the trip of a lifetime and it was all thanks to Sirry and the wonderful staff at Nordic Visitor. 

Sindre was outstanding in providing clear , complete information & assistance. He made the experience pleasant from start of investigation through the entire process. 

The tour guides were excellent. Especially Emile and Maurice. This was a huge adventure for us both, starting with the dog sled picking us up , going to the Ice Hotel and then the fabulous evening on the snowmobile. Even though we weren't lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, it was still wonderful. What good cooks all the guides were too! I will never forget this experience.

I cannot express enough how much we loved every aspect of this trip. We are older adults, and have both traveled extensively. We adored Iceland, and we both agreed this was the BEST trip we have ever taken.

The overall experience exceeded our expectations and was a truly wonderful experience. The husky sled transfer from the airport was amazing. Every trip we did had helpful, happy and informative staff. 

This entire trip was perfection. No matter where we stayed, the staff were always friendly and helpful, the food was always delicious and the views were always stunning. I've already sent several friends and co-workers a link to the Nordic Visitor website after they expressed an interest in our trip. We had a fantastic experience. Our visit to Iceland had quite an impact on us, we did not want to go home and can't wait to visit again. Looking forward to booking other trips with you in the future!

You were absolutely amazing from the beginning till the end. All the hotels were awesome with its great views. Recommendations provided for food and sights to see were great. Providing phone and hotel contacts were great so we could inform them we would be checking in late. We had a lot of questions in planning for the trip and Dagny was there with us throughout the process answering every question in detail patiently. This couldn't have been a better experience :) We highly recommend using NV services.

Thanks to Margret and the accounts/office team for answering my questions after the initial booking online. Our requests were met without too much trouble and we were made to feel that we can ask the team anything at any time. Even when I provided my flight details quite late and Margret was out of the office prior to our arrival, she managed to arrange our airport pick up and transfer to our hotel. We are so grateful for this as it made our first visit to Iceland a very smooth process. Overall our experience with Nordic Visitor is an excellent one from the initial booking, tour leader, spectacular places visited as well as the transfer pick ups, quality of accommodation (including staff friendliness at accommodations) and meals. Our first visit to Iceland was such a pleasure and Nordic Visitor will be highly recommended to family and friends.

This vacation was our honeymoon. We had just got married in the states a few days prior to the start of our trip. We had the most incredible experience. Everything was just wonderful. Working with our travel agent, Maria, for months prior, could not have been a better experience. She was so helpful, always quick to respond, answered all of my (many!) questions with great detail, and was so friendly. My sister secretly reached out to her to choose a restaurant to treat us to dinner for the last night of our trip, and Maria's suggestion was perfect. I especially loved the folder we received upon arrival that included vouchers for each day. This was helpful to enter in the destination to the car's GPS to help us get around. The spiral bound itinerary/suggestion booklet was really great. Not only did it suggest what to do each day, but it gave you a little history of each item. Since we were on our own most of the trip, these little blurbs of info gave me a nice bit of history, the perfect amount. The section at the end that provided helpful tips on traveling, money, tipping, weather, packing, etc. was awesome. I could not have asked for a better experience at any stage of planning or the trip itself.

Iceland is a beautiful country filled with magnificent landscapes, spectacular waterfalls and fascinating cultural history. That is why we returned for a third visit. Knowing how popular Iceland is as a destination and that there were four of us traveling, I thought that having assistance in setting up our tour from Nordic Visitor would be beneficial. It proved to be the best decision! Helga G. was so efficient and helpful. She provided a great map with route, hotels and attractions marked and color-coded. She highlighted some special places for lobster, ice cream and pool with a view. We had a fabulous time revisiting some of our favorite locations such as Þingvellir, Skogarfoss, Djupivogur, Akureyri Botanical Garden,and Jokulsarlon as well as finding new favorites - Lake Myvatn Nature Baths, Eyjafjallajokull Visitor Center, fish leather, and an Ethiopian restaurant Minilik in Fludir. Thanks to Nordic visitor and especially Helga for a great trip.

The day tours were excellent, particularly the ones from Hofn, Isafjordur and Akureyri.  We are really grateful to the guides on these tours for making them so interesting and special.

Sofia was very, very helpful. This is our second tour with Nordic Visitor. Last year we went to Greenland was impressed with Nordic Visitor and booked another vacation. The location of hotels and quality of hotels was excellent. All hotels were close to train stations and also close to tourist activities. As this was our first time to Sweden, Denmark and Norway I did have questions and Sofia was very quick to answer them. This is our type of vacation as we prefer self guided over group tours. I would recommend your company and in fact have already done so. Again, a big thank you to Sofia.

Honestly felt nothing was left out and the trip couldn't have gone any better and all 6 of us that were on this are in full agreement on that. Your company thought of EVERYTHING. I cant' even express how easy it was to work with your company and how everything was thought out and delivered to us. Even if we didn't know we were going to need it.

We would congratulate Nordic Visitor in the manner the holiday was planned/organised. We had no issues during our stay. The hotels were well located in relation to the train stations, and were of a high standard. The voucher system worked well and presented no difficulties. Pity about the rain in Bergen, but the locals told us, that it always rains in Bergen. Already recommended the trip to friends. Thanks for all your assistance prior to the visit.

Service from Nordic Visitor was wonderful. Excellent experience both in booking arrangements and the quality of our visit. Having all the accommodation arranged ahead of time made for a stress free visit and the glacier walk was outstanding in all ways. We enjoyed Iceland - it is a stunningly beautiful country. Next time we will seek more experiences away from popular tourist destinations probably some day hikes in national parks and will ask for your advice in arranging that visit. 

The hotels/guesthouses booked were fantastic. The hosts at each location were incredibly welcoming and made our stay wonderful. Our contact at Nordic Visitor, Christoph, was thorough and helpful in accommodating needs for our trip and was a great help in planning the trip. I am thrilled to use Nordic Visitor for my Scandinavian travels. This was our third tour using the company and I can't rave enough about how great the trips have been. I recommend Nordic Visitor to all friends and colleagues interested in traveling to supported countries.

All of the guest houses/hotels were wonderful - friendly staff, good food, comfortable rooms. We enjoyed our Iceland tour very much.  The scenery is stunningly beautiful and the people so friendly.  Nordic Visitor did a great job putting the tour together.

We had a really amazing time for our first trip to Iceland, and it was because of Nordic Visitor and Lárus's hard work and his attention to detail that made our self-driving trip easy and memorable.  It was so awesome we want to book another trip soon. We can't thank you enough!! 

All the accommodation was of a high standard,the day tours were brilliant and very well guided and the food was of a high standard. I cannot stress how much my wife and i were impressed with our guide, he was extremely knowledgeable about Iceland and nothing was too much trouble, I must say that after travelling the world Iceland is one of the best places we have ever visited and we will return one day.

Our whole 

We loved Iceland

Our guide for the trip, was outstanding! He was clear, informative, and positive. It was easy to see how reliable and responsible he is and how important it was for all of his travelers to have a good time. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good experience. I loved the balance of having an overview tour for each city along with time to explore on our own. That was a great balance. I also appreciated the absence of unexpected pressure or expense to add on additional transportation or side tours that some tour packages market. And I appreciated the absence of pressure to tip tour guides and drivers. In some countries there is high specific pressure to pay certain amounts to those workers. I prefer the staff to be paid well up front and to leave tips optional.

The support that Cicci and her colleagues provided was outstanding. We had a few minor things that needed to be adjusted during our trip and we received immediate and prompt service. All questions were addressed quickly and when changes were required, all our requests were met with a willing attitude. The trip was wonderful and it was nice to know that we had someone to contact should we have encountered any problems.

I thought all the hotels were great, especially in the small towns, staff were friendly and meals were good. We had a great experience, my daughter and thoroughly enjoyed the self guided driving tour through rural Norway.

It was well organised - all arrangements timed perfectly - good background information in the itinery

We thought our guide was absolutely wonderful..... he handled everything beautifully and made the trip so much fun for all of us. I loved all of it, and I appreciated the amount of time we spent as a group and also the time to be on our own. The transportation from city to city was excellent, and the ferry ride to Oslo from Copenhagen was fantastic.

Christoph did an excellent job in arranging this tour for my family. Very well done and very appreciate the efforts put in to this arrangement. Please express our sincere thanks to Christoph. This survey is a bit late in arrival. But better late than never. After all these months, we still think of the Scotland trip and how well it was planned. We still remember Christoph.

I have put comments in TripAdvisor but again, Helga was terrific. I could always rely on her to answer my emails the following morning and the additional advice she provided was invaluable. The planning and organization of the trip is indeed Nordic Visitor's strength. From the personal pickup and drop-off at the airport to the personalized itinerary, that WONDERFUL MAP, notes of interest Helga wrote on the map for us, the book, and the accommodation arrangements.....everything was superbly organized for us and we had such a great trip as a result. Helga made us so very comfortable with all the information that we could relax and enjoy Iceland. It is a stunningly beautiful country and we had a terrific time. Thank you Helga!!

We were very impressed with how smoothly everything went.  Nordic Visitor did an excellent job of organising our trip.  We just gave them our dates of arrival and departure and everything else was handled for us.  This allowed us to focus on sight-seeing rather than worrying about routes or accommodations.  You can only see so much in a week though, so I guess we'll have to come back to this amazing destination!  Although we have travelled a fair bit in various parts of the world, never have we had a vacation where, each night we sat down and listed off all of the things we'd never seen before-glaciers, geysers, volcanoes-hot springs- each day was filled with marvellous sights.

We loved our entire package with Nordic Visitor and our tour guide was fantastic. We enjoyed the small group atmosphere very much (there were 6 of us). We saw several tour groups of many, many more and would not be interested in a larger group, so the Nordic Visitor tour suited us perfectly. 

The highlighted map was really useful for planning the tour, and all the small written suggestions were the little bits that made the holiday special. 

Overall, the standard of service provided through Nordic Visitor was of a high standard and we as a group have no complaints or criticisms. We found the flexibility of a self-drive tour to be just what we required and with the time we has (15 days) we were able to see most of the accessible parts of the country that we sought. Clearly, in May, there are considerable limitations on experiencing the highlands area, but we understood that well before the trip. However, we were able to obtain some experience there on some tracks that were partly accessible (e.g. Kjolur) as well as going on a flight from Myvatn. Everyone enjoyed the varied landscape, geology, the climatic diversity (surprisingly, quite a lot of sun), and cultural/historical aspects.

Hotels were always well located (most important), clean, excellent service and most with excellent views. Sofia was always very responsive and knowledgable. Using Nordic Visitor to arrange for hotels and transportation saved me a lot of time. And having them available in an emergency, made me feel like I had a trusted traveling companion.

Probably the most important service I received was Cecilia's prompt answers to all my questions. My requests were handled expeditiously. As for the accommodations, they ranged from very good to excellent. Of particular note is the fact that Cecilia had to react quickly to hotel employees' strike at one of the hotels. She quickly found arranged for me to stay at another hotel, which was most impressive (both her ability to improvise and the quality of the hotel). She was also quite helpful in recommending certain places of interest to visit and the advisability of purchasing city passes for transportation and sightseeing.

Nordic Visitor made everything SO EASY! All I had to worry about was showing up on time. Everything was taken care of, and it really gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation.

Everything was flawless. There were no bumps in the road. Information provided and suggestions on what to see were extremely helpful. Just a great job overall

Everything was fine. Our Nordic Visitor travel assistant was Audur. She was extremely helpful, answered all of my questions, was very friendly, very informative, and worked hard to get us a customized trip. Honestly, my wife and I had been planning to go to Argentina, I was planning the trip, but the travel assistant I was using was very unresponsive, unhelpful, and seemed annoyed when I would email questions. I came across a Nordic Visitor ad online and decided to check it out. Because Audur was so wonderfully helpful, I talked with my wife and we decided to drop Argentina and go to Iceland instead. So thank you Audur! We had a great time, and have been recommending Iceland to friends and family ever since.

We enjoyed both the quality and variety of accommodations in our program. We were particularly happy that we chose guesthouses rather than hotels because it gave us more extended contact with locals on a personal basis.

All the hotels were fantastic. The suggested tours were all appropriate. The timing and deadlines were clearly communicated and the directions easy to follow.

Sirry did a wonderful job of working in some extra days for us at the beginning and the end of our trip. Well done !!

We have just returned from a fabulous trip to Iceland. The staff at Nordic Visitor is top notch. They helped us to create a wonderful itinerary and set up our accommodations -- which were all terrific -- car rental, detailed map with the route and all the sights clearly highlighted, plus a mobile phone for emergencies. This made the trip very easy.

All of this would be expected of a good company. What made them extra special for me is that I managed to loose the detailed map on the first day of our excursion!! 

What a panic! I called the office from the mobile they provided, explained what happened, and they assured me they would be able to get us another map probably at our next stay. This seemed impossible given we were quite a ways from Reykjavik, but we had no other choice. We spent the day touring around, and that evening upon returning to the hotel, the receptionist hands me another map complete with all the highlighted sights etc!!! I could not believe they were able to do this. Shocked, overjoyed, relieved. 

So, I can't say enough positive words for the company and especially for Brynja Dögg Heiðudóttir who went above and beyond to help us.

I just got back from Nordic Visitor's Express Iceland Tour, which I took with a friend. The trip was fantastic, and Nordic Visitor was terrific. Virtually everything came off exactly as promised. They made no fuss about customizing the tour for our wishes and timing, adding two extra days of accommodations and car rental at a reasonable cost. There were two tiny glitches that they corrected immediately, and they were extremely helpful when we decided at the last minute that we wanted two separate rooms for our last two days in Reykjavik. The tour package had great extra touches like a local cell phone and a map marked with our route, overnight stops, and suggested attractions. It would be hard to be any happier with a tour company. Hats off to Larus and Solveig and the rest of the great people at Nordic Visitor.

Helena was exceptionally helpful before and during our tour!!!

Thank you so much for the great trip with everything working so smoothly! Loved the way the accommodations were chosen giving us the opportunity to experience different housing from modern hotel in Reykjavik  to small family business hotel and horse country farm (which by the way was our favourite with the most amazing homemade food :). The tour was well thought so we can enjoy at maximum the beauty and diversity of Iceland. Also we’ve appreciated the highlights and  tips and thank you for the GPS coordinates, they were really useful for finding some places. We really enjoy our trip and we will definitely come back and recommend your company to all our friends in Vancouver! Awesome experience!

Arnar Thor was VERY helpful and patient. He helped us a great deal. The accomodations were outstanding! Every hotel was great. In fact, I have written them all up on Trip Advisor, we enjoyed them so much

I do not believe it is possible to do better than Nordic Visitor did for us for this tour. The hotels were outstanding; the selections or recommendations of sites to visit was outstanding as well.

This was easier to do than I anticipated. Once I got familiar with the rental car and driving conditions, all I had to do was make it to the next hotel and everything was taken care of...The one thing about Iceland I didn't expect was the attitude of Icelanders. They are such a happy and joyful people to be around, you can't help but have a wonderful time...The beauty of Iceland isn't just in the scenery, it is in the people themselves, the food they eat, the music they listen to. This trip far exceeded my expectations. I can't thank you enough for having me as one of your guests.

In general, my experience with Nordic Visitor and the trip they provided for me was exceptional. Everything was well organised, plenty of information, some of the accommodation in the more remote areas was very basic but that is to be expected given its location. Overall, there are no doubts whether or not I would recommend Nordic Visitor - in fact I'm already looking on the website hoping to plan a trip to some of the other destinations.

I had the time of my life in Scandinavia! During my visit, I made connections with my wonderful friends/family in Sävsjö and I plan to revisit them again. Therefore, more adventures await in Scandinavia! I will continue to utilize Nordic Visitor! 

I travelled with my children and grandchildren, comprising a party of seven in total. There was remarkable consensus:  "The best vacation ever!"

I am extremely impressed with the outstanding quality of the road system in Iceland. The terrain is very severe in many areas but in spite of that the Icelandic  Government has put together an extremely good road system throughout all of the country that I traveled. The tunnels in particular were very impressive. On a self-guided driving tour the GPS is completely irreplaceable. For a non-Icelander, the place names are impossible to read or remember. They GPS however makes it very easy to navigate the remote areas of the country.  

We were constantly blown away by the helpfulness and service and friendliness of the staff everywhere we went. Found out how helpful it was to PREBOOK our tours (lava cave, lagoon cruise, whale watching etc) because they would have been full if we would have waited and we would not have had the time to go.

I was pretty skeptical about booking a tour over the internet, but it worked out really well. I'm very happy with how easy the whole process was, and how it all turned out. The accommodations were great, the "optional activities" were fun and the itinerary was perfect. I would definitely book with you again!

We thought the trip was planned beautifully and the timing was perfect. The excursions were perfectly arranged and something we'll never forget... Helga always answered any questions I had in a timely and thorough manner. We had originally contacted a few travel services in Iceland and you were the best about getting back to us and providing information. We absolutely LOVED ICELAND and a lot of it had to do with how well this trip was planned for us. The only thing I might do differently, is to have spent two days at the Skaftafell National Park... We felt very comfortable and well taken care of all along the way. We made incredible memories with our nine year old son that we will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you, Nordic Visitor!

Our trip was wonderful.  The travel documents and communication from Nordic Visitor made this a stress-free, easy trip.  There were no problems with the bookings, reservations, rental car, or anything else.  The itinerary and map were easy to use. Overall, I couldn't be more happy with Nordic Visitor. Thank you.

Fantastic experience & we will definitely make a come back! Great service despite a last minute booking by us. :)

Helena resolved a few queries we had about travel arrangements very efficiently. The information given was very comprehensive and useful. The hotels were outstanding in all respects, particularly the Hotel Continental in Oslo. All the food was very good. The level of personal service was excellent by all staff. All of the trips ran very smoothly.

Outstanding overall service. We had a problem with a charge our bank made on our payment of the deposit and your finance department were prepared to make alternative arrangements if needed when we were paying the balance. Excellent customer support.

Our travel agent was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She helped us book a meal on our cruise in advance, she sent us our travel vouchers in email and had them ready for us at our first hotel, she was constantly updating us as things were booked and finalized. We had a wonderful experience largely in part due to having accommodations and trains booked for us in advance. It was a great relief not having to worry about that.

Line was an excellent guide.  She was kind and thoughtful.  Line was also well organized regarding tickets and getting us where we needed to be. The small group (9 of us) was perfect and made the trip more enjoyable than being in a herd of people. I loved everything about the trip.

From the TripAdvisor reviews we decided to go through Nordic Visitor instead of doing the research & planning that we usually do for a trip. We did the South Iceland at Leisure tour and the planning attention to detail that Erla put together for our trip made for a great experience. Everything exceeded our expectations, including the gentleman that picked us up at the airport. The hotels / guesthouses were spotlessly clean, comfortable and all had a friendly & helpful staff/proprietors. The extra activities; e.g., Glacial Walk, Zodiac boat on Glacier Bay, etc. were scheduled appropriately in relation to travel times & were with very professional companies. 

It would have taken us a lot of time & effort to put together a comprehensive trip like this. Thanks again to the Nordic Visitor's staff & especially Erla.

Nordic Visitor provided my family with an unbelievable first trip to Iceland! All of the communication with our travel advisor, Helga, beforehand was impeccable and so thorough. Every step of our journey was so well thought out and perfectly timed. They made driving through the South of Iceland so comfortable, especially with a nine year old. Their recommendations of how to time everything was perfectly planned and we really felt that we got to see so much in a relaxed way in just 6 days. I will recommend this company to everyone and hope to go back to Iceland again and possibly Norway with their help!

Larus put together the perfect itinerary, including different kinds of hotels (modern, rustic, farm, historic). This was my first trip to Iceland and I got a very broad introduction to this beautiful country. I received a good amount of information from Nordic Visitor in advance of my trip, so I was well prepared. I felt very safe and comfortable with no worries during the adventure. All of the vouchers and activities worked flawlessly. I talked to visitors who used other tour companies and they often had missed connections and invalid vouchers, so I am very grateful that Nordic Visitor is such a high quality company - I shared the contact info for Nordic Visitor and Larus, so my friends will have a better experience on their next tour.

Not only did Nordic Visitor delivered on everything that was needed, all the extra tours that were booked by them exceeded our expectations. Spent 16 days on a self-drive tour of Iceland including west fjords. Every detail was taken care of, the car was excellent, the accommodations that were booked were more than what was needed. They gave us a telephone and had regular contact with us. Assisted us every time we needed any assistance. Will recommend this company and will be more than happy to use again in the future. I highly recommend it and give them A++++++++++. 

Tip to travelers: Do everything with lots of time. We planned this trip more than 7 months in advance. Do your homework. Find about weather condition, climate and clothing needs.

All lodging and transportation worked perfectly...I was very happy with your service and I liked the efficiency of receiving lodging/transportation vouchers via e-mail.  I especially liked the daily itinerary with suggested points of interest.

We were very delighted with our accommodations and the ease of our "self-guided" tour!

Our travel councillor Kolbrun is very good. Any question I have, she always tried her best to answer. When I told her about my walking condition she booked hotels close to stations or the ship we needed to do. She made our trip smooth and enjoyable.

It was first time using a self directed trip, and we were a little worried about the connections, but in fact it was very easy and smooth. We enjoyed it.

...We loved the tour that Nordic Visitor provided. We added two days and were very happy with everything that we did. Thanks you!

Excellent hotels, great location. Sirry was very helpful. Very informative, made it easy to do a self guided tour.

We were very impressed with everything you did for us.  All the arrangements worked as planned and the information you provided about the tour was excellent. We would have no hesitation in using Nordic Visitor again 

We have found all the accommodations to be excellent. The suggestions for stops were great and the GPS got us everywhere with no problems at all. We loved the food, especially the fresh and delicious seafood. The activities we had signed up for were a lot of fun. The whole trip was amazingly well organized.

We had an absolutely unforgettable vacation in Iceland thanks to Nordic Visitor!!! Thanks so much for all your hard work behind the scenes to make our vacation perfect.

Fantastic experience! I feel like I could be the US spokesperson for travel and tourism in Iceland...everyone should go! Thank you for all that you did to make our trip truly incredible, memorable and wonderful.

Wonderful, exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed touring at our pace and having highlights identified in advance. We supplemented with our own research. We also enjoyed the thrill of being surprised by the quality and diversity of the hotels each night.

The service I received from Solveig at Nordic Visitor was excellent; all of my vouchers and arrangements were perfect and they accommodated a last-minute change. The Guesthouse Sunna was great with excellent breakfast, a very nice apartment, perfect location, and great assistance from the service desk. All of the tour buses picked us up and dropped us off right in front. The tours were superb. All of them stop for breaks and food several times throughout and the guides were talkative and knowledgeable. The food in Iceland is the best, by the way. I have nothing but great memories of this trip and recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends without hesitation.

Overall, this has been one of the top vacation experiences in my life. I felt that Solveig and Nordic Visitor took excellent care of me and my granddaughter and made our trip relaxing and enjoyable. I could not have planned this so well. The reliability of tour guides, the drivers being on time when they were expected, and having someone available at Nordic Visitor when I needed to make a change was reassuring and so valuable. We plan to call Nordic Visitor again within the next couple of years for a return trip.

Very pleasant dealing with Solveig. The agency does a great job planning every little detail and then some. The homemade ice creams and eateries like a barn restaurant were very good and thoroughly enjoyable. We booked some extra activities like the blue lagoon, glacier boat tour and whale watching in Husavik. All of the reservations were in order and made it very trouble free and enjoyable.  The N1 gas stations are very convenient throughout the island and not only provided clean rest rooms, but plenty of snacks and sandwiches were available all over the island. Car reservations and quality of car provided was as reserved.  Keep up the excellent work!!!!!

The guesthouses were exceptional. They exceeded our expectations since we had booked "budget" accommodations. Everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfasts provided were very good. We were often treated to homemade bread and jams. We were overall very pleased with everything.

Our package of materials was very well organized and thorough. Our consultant, Hilmar, was very professional and prompt when we asked him for anything... We would highly recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone interested in travelling to the Nordic countries. Thank you so much for your attention to every detail. Providing us with a mobile phone was great as it meant we did not have to buy SIM cards for our own phones and could get by using wifi at our destinations. We were very happy with our trip and hope to return to Iceland, such a beautiful country!

This was an excellent experience. At least two of our friends are seriously thinking of taking this tour.

All accommodation was really good with good breakfasts. The sightseeing suggestions on the map of Iceland that we received prior to coming to Iceland were very helpful and the detailed itinerary was excellent. All this helped us research these places before we arrived in Iceland.

From our very first enquiry to the end of the tour the service was excellent and the experience was great. 6-star service.

We appreciate all the efforts Bjarni went through to make sure that our tour was very enjoyable.  We had many upgrades and I believe that Bjarni was instrumental in making those happen.

Both trips with Nordic Visitor have been beyond expectations. They will always be my first choice for traveling in the Northern Countries.

Overall, we were very happy with Nordic Visitor, especially with the itinerary materials we received on arrival and the seamless experience we had from arrival to departure.  The Garmin GPS we received with our car was very helpful, particularly in locating hotels and other necessities.

Thank you for the good map with all the suggested stops.  We especially liked the homemade ice cream?  :-) The book was also very interesting. All the travel documents were well organized, and we really appreciated your suggested stops and highlights. We loved all the waterfalls! We also especially enjoyed the walking tour of Reykjavik, and the hay cart/puffin tour!

Everything was as expected or better than expected. The list of possible extra activities was very helpful. The detailed map of Iceland with personalised suggestions (including home made ice cream!) was much used and very much appreciated throughout the tour. You were very thorough in preparing the information and this made our visit easy and gave us every opportunity to see the wonderful sights of Iceland. 

I found Iceland a most beautiful and exciting country but more important and impressive is the quality of your society as a whole. I thank you at all at Nordic Visitor in particular and all the people of Iceland in general for making my visit so memorable

Everything was wonderful! Many of the hotels were modest, but that's what we expected. They were still quite nice and comfortable. The country was beautiful, and we loved how hands-off the tour was. It was great to have hotels, a car, and airport transport planned for us but to have our days otherwise open.

Everything was perfect. We've already recommended Nordic Visitor to friends.

Hotels were excellent in terms of location as well as accommodation. Variety in hotel selections was also a plus. Bjarni provided excellent service. He responded very quickly to our concerns and resolved all issues to our satisfaction.

Thanks for a great experience.

We were impressed with how well everything fitted together. No problems with accommodation or travel, and Cicci was very helpful with the initial booking and in answering queries.

We had a great holiday in Iceland with the whole itinerary organised by Nordic Visitor including all the hotels and the hire car. Thanks to the great organisational skills of the company everything went according to plan. We were picked up at the airport and taken to our hotel and given a bag of books and maps with our route and intinerary. The following day we were taken to collect our hire car and then we had a wonderful 10 days touring the south of the island. Even before we arrived in Iceland we were most impressed with the services of Nordic Visitor. They tailor-made our trip to suit what we wanted to do, always responding promptly to our questions and a toll free number to phone meant we were also able to speak to them beforehand. I cannot praise them too highly and would certainly use them again as well as recommend them to anybody. Thank you Nordic Visitor.

Booked a 10 day self drive tour of Iceland via Nordic Visitor. Nordic Visitor arranged our complete itinery, arranged a hire car, booked hotels, mapped our route, arranged a pick up from the airport. 

The hotels were great, travel connections were flawless and the provided map and instructions were accurate and easily followed. All in all the holiday of a lifetime, without any worries

This was the first time I booked a vacation with a tour company I found by internet research and not from a friend or trusted source. If you are on Trip Advisor as I was reading the reviews before booking - believe the glowing remarks - Nordic Visitor is terrific. This Natural Wonders of Iceland tour consisted of a small group of 16 in a nice Mercedes coach/van and we were guided by the friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide, Christine. It was a pleasure hearing her stories of Icelandic culture and history. The hotels were pleasant - not luxurious but I wasn't expecting luxury on this trip. Each hotel had its own unique qualities. The food throughout the trip was superb.

I am a research addict, which is why I love this site. But I was getting overwhelmed with all of our options for places to stay and what we should do. So after researching travel agents, we booked with Nordic Visitor. We booked in January for a June 11 day ring road self drive trip so we got a 10% discount (even better). I am so glad that we did. All of our transportation was covered and there, and we just showed up to the hotels and it was all set. They listened to what we wanted (eg: farm guest houses instead of hotels). i felt so much better having an Icelandic phone with us in case of emergency, and knowing that if we had a problem, there was someone to help us. They answered quickly whenever I had a question, and were very gentle and generous with answering what I am sure were obnoxious questions. I would use them to book trips again in a heartbeat.

Hafdís helped me plan and book a six night south coast tour. The accommodations were incredible, even had the coveted room 202 at the Vik Icelandair Hotel!! My car and GPS were brand new, I was the 2nd person to use the car! I booked one tour with Hafdís, the bird watching tour at Ingolfshofdi, which was excellent. It was an amazing trip, and when I come back I will use NV again!

The hotels were excellent.  The meals at the hotels were also great...A nice package giving us good hotel values and locations as well as Nordic Visitor's expertise on the best things to see...

I enjoyed every place I  stayed.   Was made to feel welcome and staff were friendly and helpful when asked questions.  Everyone had stories to tell about their specific area which I found most enjoyable.

I have travelled to many different parts of the world and Iceland is my new favorite destination largely due to the wonderful experience provided by Nordic Visitor and travel consultant Gudrun in particular.  Although I visited in an unusually cold and snowy May the beauty of Iceland and the warmth of the people will be in my heart forever. Thank you everyone for a glimpse into the life of an Icelander. I look forward to my next visit.

Very well organized

We were very impressed with the efficiency of everything which Nordic Visitor organised. The accommodation was varied and very friendly. The hand- annotated road map was especially useful. We saw things which we would not have found ourselves because they had been highlighted on the map or in the itinerary. An especial highlight was the haycart puffin tour at Ingolshofthi. (please excuse my spelling!) We stayed at the Foss Hotel at Faskruthsfjordur and found the exhibition in the hotel about the french fishermen most surprising and interesting.  Car hire was also an efficient and quick affair, much better than our last car-hire experience in France. We had not realised just how large Iceland is and we would love to return to see the rest of the country.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our two week Iceland Complete vacation via Nordic Visitor in May/June 2015. Anita and Alexandra planned a perfect itinerary for us and answered all our questions. Everything went off perfectly from the gentleman who first met us upon our arrival at the airport, to the car rental, to the hospitality we received at each of the hotels. The scenery (mountains, glaciers, geysers, rainbows, etc) was beautiful, the different hotels were excellent (we enjoyed the farm the best) and the included breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. We saw many animals(whales, reindeer, seals, birds, etc.) and withstood the changeable weather. We have many fond memories from our time there and the 1,500 pictures we took. We are very pleased to highly recommend Nordic Visitor to all who want an unforgettable vacation in Iceland.

The overall organization was very well executed. We had our reservations made everywhere we went, with pre-booked departures on the tours we wanted to take. This eliminated the deception of showing up at the counter and being told that the tour is full and not able to register. It allowed us to benefit from every hour we were in Iceland.  The small car was in good condition (Ford Focus).  Great service, great suggestions.

We had a great time.  The map outlined and prepared for us was great, along with ideas and suggestions for each day.  It was just enough. Thank you VERY MUCH!

Anita was very helpful leading up to our trip. After visiting her on our last day she was friendly and interested to hear about our experiences. The holiday was for our 10 year anniversary so we wanted it to be something special, and it definitely exceeded our expectations.

What a tour! This group really covers the bases, from a supplied cell phone to wonderful hotels to a specifically designed map. We were a bit overwhelmed at first, but within a day became comfortable with the language, the drivers, and the culture. We definitely needed that cell phone as our car became problematic, and although they did not need to change hotels for us, they were ready if needed. We loved the quaint places they had us stay, and it was obvious that they had visited the places before recommending them. Highly recommend this group for a problem-free tour!

We found the hotel staff very helpful with advice regarding the most suitable clothing for both of our excursions. We were also advised to moisturise our face in the evening and not to wash our face in the morning to prevent sun or wind burn. Our guides were superb with regards to advice as to the most appropriate clothing  to wear on the day of our trips as one day was "warm" and the next day was very cold. We felt very safe with our guides and found them very friendly and informative...

We had the comfort accommodations and the hotels definitely surpassed our expectstions. The tours booked were high quality.

Very thoroughly planned with a good variety of accommodation. We stayed during the solar eclipse; two pairs of solar viewer glasses were included in our welcome pack - one of many thoughtful touches. Very quick procedure on returning the hire car.  They later returned our camera to the hotel when we realised we'd left it in the glove box.

Highly recommend taking a guided tour for duration of trip. Simone was our EXCELLENT guide and driver and helped make our group (of 12) trip an amazing adventure!

It is important to remain flexible as daily plans may have to be altered due to weather (blizzard) !!   ...part of having an exciting experience!!!

Very professional guides for the tours that were organised for us with comfortable & exciting vehicles to transport us for the Northern Lights tour and on the Snowmobile Adventure & the Golden Circle tour.

My contact at Nordic Visitor, Perla organised the trips for us in a professional manner, with lots of information and did an amazing job. Our trip with Isak who took us on the Snowmobile Adventure & the Golden Circle trip made our day so much fun and was very informative. We had an amazing trip on the Glaciers and would thoroughly recommend the trip to anyone who visits Iceland.

The guides where very help and tried their best for us to see a much as possible considering the weather which was out of there control, we did not mind that they re-arranged the scheduled stops.

Had a great experience, the people the places and the weather, would not be a visit to Iceland without the weather, the sunny mornings, the snow blizzards in the afternoon, the rugged beauty that brings you in to be part of the landscape, the whispering song that comes in on the wind that is Iceland, the calming melody (stay awhile and recharge),

Kolbrun was extremely helpful and efficient, answering my queries promptly including a question about our vouchers which arose whilst we were in Norway. We were very impressed. The trip was a 40th birthday present for me and my husband, with our children, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it - even more than we had expected to!

Hotels and guest houses an interesting mixture of styles. All good in their own way. We liked best the ones "in the middle of no-where". We were delighted to have found your company on the web and were very impressed by the quality of your service.

I was extremely happy with the entire experience...from my initial email inquiries, through the booking process (and more questions from me that were answered thoroughly and promptly), my arrival, the trip itself and all the details taken care of by Nordic Visitor. Nothing was left unattended--I even received a phone call (on the Nordic-provided cell) mid-way during my tour from my consultant, asking how everything was going, was I enjoying myself, and advising me of a storm warning (ensuring I was checking road/weather conditions regularly). Since returning home I've already posted a review on your Facebook page and also comments on TripAdvisor. I'm happily and sincerely recommending your company to anyone/everyone interested.

Cicci Erikson customized our trip exactly the way we wanted, every thing went smoothly, the employees at Kiruna tours were very friendly and cordial, I would recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends and will use them in the future.

Booking the trip online with Nordic visitor was quite easy and manageable. Gudrun was very helpful with the whole process! Everything went smoothly from the pick up from the airport, with our accommodations, drive tour packet which was very informational (love the map and itenirary booklet), optional activities, and bus ride back to the airport! Deeply touched by how Gudrun tried to reach us through the owner of the guesthouse where we're staying because she doesn't have the correct number of our cell # due to some mix up so she can check up on us and make sure we're ok and that way she'll be and to get ahold of us in case of anything happens. Will definitely recommend Nordic visitor to anyone who's interested in going to Iceland and will likely go through this agency again for future travels!

A long sought after vacation resulted in a fascinating experience, and this result must also be credited to the careful preparation and to the friendly professional assistance of your consultants. On site, the service was impeccable under all aspects. 

Cold, silence and nature conjure in suggesting me to summarize what we have lived through with words from Sweden’s national anthem. "TYSTA, GLÄDJERIKA, SKÖNA".

Nordic Visitor helped make our trip to Iceland an unforgettable, awe-inspiring experience. Since we didn't have to worry about making arrangements for lodging, the rental car, or our glacier hike, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the wonders of Iceland in wintertime. The detailed itinerary, road guide book, and helpfully annotated and highlighted road map were amazing, and the stack of vouchers, organized chronologically in order of use made each stop along the way completely effortless. This was the best travel experience I have ever had. I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to all of my friends who plan on future trips to Iceland, and I will probably use Nordic Visitor again on my own future trip to Norway, and a possible return trip to Iceland. Thank you, Nordic Visitor!

My Travel Consultant, Cecilia, was extremely helpful and professional in all aspects of dealing with the customer. Her invaluable assistance allowed me to choose, modify, and combine the existing tours to fulfill all my needs. The hotel locations were excellent and the arrangements made by Cecilia ensured that everything worked perfectly well without any glitches. I would strongly recommend such excellent services to anyone who would like to have an unforgettably pleasant holiday.

I wanted to go to Longyearbyen, the northernmost town in the world, on an island about 1,000 miles north of Oslo, Norway, in December. I knew nothing about preparing for a trip like that, including what to wear for the Arctic cold weather.

Luckily, I found Nordic Visitor. Kolbrun helped identify a number of activities for me to do (including dogsledding), and arranged for a great hotel, airport pickup, etc. She was very patient with me (I had tons of questions) and gave me great guidance on how to dress and prepare for the trip in general and the specific activities.

I received a great itinerary in advance, detailing where to meet tour guides every day, etc., which made it very easy. The trip went without a hitch. One activity (snowmobiling) was cancelled due to weather, and I received a very prompt refund for the activity shortly after I got back.

I plan to go to the Arctic again, and I will definitely use Nordic Visitor.

I recommend them without any hesitation at all; you won't be disappointed!

All highly satisfactory and would not hesitate to recommend Iceland and Nordic Visitor to others.

My brother had used Nordic Visitor the previous year to visit Iceland and he was all praises so we decided to do the same and we were not disappointed. Jelena, our travel consultant was exceptionally helpful and informative and genuinely friendly. The only real issue we had was we experienced a burst tyre on a Sunday and she did all she could to make sure we could find a replacement, including having a tyre shop opened only for us! Would highly recommend Nordic visitor to anyone and everyone! Iceland, is by far one of the most interesting and inspiring places we've been to. It sits on top of a giant volcano so the scenery is very different to anything we've experienced before. A must visit for anyone who appreciates nature at its purest!

My husband and I chose to do the 10 day self guided Romance Around Iceland tour for our honeymoon. It couldn't have been more perfect! Nordic Visitor planned every detail for us, including having gourmet chocolates and champagne waiting for us in our room, booking all of our accommodations, excursions, rental cars and taxi rides, and provided us with ample information about navigating through Iceland. They even provided us with a cell phone and called to check in while we were travelling through an area close by to an active volcano.

I think it is safe to say I have fallen head over heels in love with Iceland. It has been 6 months since we came home and I still think about it daily. I would recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone looking for a truly customized and memorable trip!

Hotels were better than I had expected and I was very lucky with the weather. Excellent value, my friends in Australia recommended it and so will I.

From start to finish we found our Iceland experience was most rewarding. Accommodation, car rental and itinerary set out by Nordic Visitor was most satisfying with room for detours to additional sites not mentioned in the itinerary. As Australians it was a memorable holiday.

The maps have been great - very well prepared with and in combination with the daily itinerary we did not miss one thing on the way. Overall great service and amazing experience in Iceland! Intentionally we did not book the cheapest tour, but we have been surprised by the above standard for accommodation and customer service.

Hotel Icefjord was great. We were given an unusually large room, with a small kitchen. We were pleased. Alexandra was wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions promptly, and was very helpful.

My traveling companions and I were very impressed with the ease of our trip due to the wonderfully organized accommodations put together by Nordic Visitor. We were so happy with every guesthouse we stayed in, as well as the instructions provided for the tours we booked. Thank you so much! 

Booking through Nordic Visitor took all of the stress of planning accommodations out of the equation, leaving us to just enjoy all of the amazing elements of Iceland on our own. My two traveling companions and I have all travelled extensively, and booking through Nordic Visitor really made our trip to Iceland stand out in front for us—plus, Iceland is just amazing (hard to screw up a trip to such a fantastic place!).

We were very happy with the standard of hotels and their restaurants, especially as they were often in fairly remote places. We were particularly impressed with the road map we received from you with the route, points of interest and hotels marked. This made everything very easy. Combined with the information book describing the points of interest and general information, we had a very enjoyable trip.

You are so well organized and thorough. I cannot say enough good things about the map. The accommodations were very nice. Everyone we met was so professional and welcoming. We have already recommended you to several friends.

Everything was wonderful and went off without a hitch. No problems. Kolbrun was very helpful with all our requests even the last minute ones. I would deal with her again.

This tour was excellent! It was great, all planned and just so nice and relaxing! 

The and service was perfect!

Thank you so much, we had a wonderful trip and Nordic Visitor and in particular Cecilia were wonderful. You have made it a special and memorable time for us and we thank you for all your work and attention to detail. You are amazing!!!!

My wife and I completed the Iceland Full Circle self drive trip on August 26 arranged by Hilmar and Signy of Nordic Visitor. We were happy with all of our accommodations and very glad that we waited until after our trip began to plan a couple optional excursions such as the zodiac boat ride on a glacial lagoon and the Blue Lagoon on a rainy day the day we departed. The scenery was so spectacular that we hiked more than I expected we would plus since we lucked out on the weather, we wanted to be outside. Bad weather our last two days caused us to explore a textile museum and the Skagafjordur Folk Museum featuring turf buildings. Recommendations: read all materials thoroughly before your trip begins and before each day's drive; consider what you will do if you have a very early arrival and your room will not be ready until 2 pm; be flexible, embrace the adventure and you will want to return like we do. Helpful hint-if you want to climb Mount Namafjall (mud pots, fumaroles, etc.) consider path up near entry to site versus the frontal approach!

My wife and I did the 4 day Greenland trip to Ilulissat and then the South Iceland trip. They were flawless. Everything was as planned, the trip to Greenland was definitely the highlight. The self drive tour in Iceland was also great, no issues with any logistics. Recommend!!

Just concluding a one-week tour of Iceland, arranged by Nordic Visitor. My hobby is traveling, so I have worked with a number of companies, none, however, as superb as Nordic Visitor. The thoroughness, attention to detail and concern for the welfare of me and my two friends, as shown by our contact Hilmar, was just outstanding. If you are planning to visit Iceland this is definitely the company to use.

My sister, niece and I decided to go to Iceland and wanted to be on our own (not with a group tour) but were overwhelmed with trying to plan the trip. Decided to go with the help of Nordic Visitor and it was the absolute best decision we made. Before I go further, I want to add that what probably made this such a heavenly experience was ALL due to one of their representatives - Signý. This sweet lady went far above and beyond helping us with EVERY SINGLE LITTLE detail...so much so that its impossible to list them all. This trip (ten day self drive) is designed to allow you to be on your own but they make all the reservations for you -accommodations, optional activities, car rental (provide you with such a color-coded map, GPS, a temporary phone to use and step by step details to your itinerary plus suggested sights to see along the way). There wasn't a stone unturned - the attention to every detail was mind-blowing. And the courtesy calls and rapid response to us were superior. This sweet gal has to be a superhero and an angel all rolled into one. Also - my luggage did not arrive with me in Iceland and being on the go constantly would have made it difficult for it to catch up with me but, once again, I was able to go about my vacation while Signy spent so much time recovering it for me and making sure it got to me as fast as possible. I never once had to deal with its loss and I know this is not part of her job but she did it anyway. Signy - I hope you see this review (sure wished we would have been able to meet you) and hope your superiors see this review too. You deserve all the praise I can offer and hope you are treated accordingly. THANK YOU - THANK YOU for making our trip to Iceland one incredibly, beautiful experience.

You people at Nordic visitor are doing a very good job. I had a lot of expectations about travelling around Iceland and you helped us to make the experience easy and smooth.

Due to the unique nature of the trip there has been a lot of interest from family and friends in our Icelandic experience. I have not only told everyone that they really should travel to Iceland to experience the country and culture for themselves, but when they do so, to book through Nordic Visitor for the ultimate travel experience. Thanks for making this a trip to remember!

We had a wonderful stay in Iceland and gave us lots of new experiences regarding Icelandic nature and people we met during the trip. Will not be long before next visit to your wonderful country! 

We found service and arrangements made by NV very attractive and well organized, hotels and guest houses were excellent and so were the spectacular landscape and nature as well. Thank you all for an unforgettable holiday in Iceland!

My husband was very reluctant to go to Iceland but now recommends it to everyone. Our entire family loved our trip and hope to visit again. We highly recommend visiting this beautiful island. Driving around was very easy. Everything was marked and easy to find. Our sons age 7 and 10 loved everything about the trip! Thanks for planning a great vacation.

Our hotels were perfect. We enjoyed wonderful dinners, some in the hotels, and others along the way. We were pleasantly surprised that even the smallest hotels served gourmet meals, great food and beautiful presentation. This was the vacation of our dreams and we were blessed to travel with our daughter and two granddaughters, ages 8 and 11. We were still in Iceland when the granddaughters talked of "when we come back to Iceland". We then knew the trip was a success and we can't thank Gudrun and Nordic Visitor enough.

We were thrilled with the quality provided to us by Nordic Visitor. Our lodgings often exceeded our expectations (we pre-selected a moderately-priced package) and the day tours recommended to us were all top-rate. Alexandra was perfect in deciphering the type of experience we were looking for. Our trip was absolutely magical. We only wish we had more than nine days to experience all the grandeur that Iceland had to offer. The itinerary, lodgings and optional activities that Nordic Visitor put together on our behalf were all fabulous and contributed to one of our best vacations ever. We feel fortunate that we connected with Nordic Visitor and cannot recommend its services highly enough.

Overall the experience was very good and am absolutely satisfied. Thanks for everything.

Nordic Visitor did a great job taking care of us. They took care of the logistics so we could focus on enjoying the trip. They were readily available while we were on the road too - they provided us with a local cell phone which was very useful.

Iceland is a much under rated country to visit. Beautiful scenery and great people!

On the downside it is an expensive country to visit and if you are a North American you might find the driving to be a bit white knuckle - those are narrow lanes!

As someone who has been to Iceland many, many time (mainly for work) it is great to see how a local firm can be so much better than booking anything else.

Usually I do self booking for everything, however I was finding great difficulty putting together a trip where all the hotels have availability for the dates we wanted. My wife found Nordic Visitor and we contacted them.

The request was something along the lines of "we want the full circle, however we want to do it in reverse, and we want to specifically at this hotel, etc..". Within 10 days they (Alexandra) had managed to do everything we wanted and the price was very reasonable (Iceland has never been cheap, but it more affordable now than it was 20 years ago when I first started going there).

Everything from the initial pick up at the airport, through to hire car, hotel bookings, literally everything ran smoothly without any problems whatsoever. 

They are a professional bunch and I highly recommend them.

Our first time in Iceland and the staff at Nordic Visitor made the whole experience so easy and hassle free. Cannot wait to see more of Iceland and will be booking with Nordic Visitor again. Alexandra was the best consultant ever. So friendly and professional. Everything was perfect and we were well looked after by everyone.

I had done enough research to be dangerous and overwhelmed. Jelena did a great job assimilating my desires and her knowledge of the area and planned the trip around our interests. All suggestions she made were spot on and contributed to the success of the trip. There were a few minor hiccups but nothing that couldn't be worked around. Contact with Nordic while in country was always handled quickly and in a professional manner. It was nice having the peace of mind knowing Nordic had our backs. We loved Iceland and can’t wait to go back!

Our trip around Iceland was one of the best "adventures" we have ever undertaken and we owe this fantastic experience to Nordic Visitor and specifically our travel agent Hilmar. Iceland proved to be a hidden jewel that we hope to be able to visit again one day!!!

We had an amazing time in Kirkenes. Although we couldn't stay in the Snow Hotel due to dripping, we stayed in their lovely cabins. The staff made us feel like family and everything was great. The dogs + dog sledding was special, so too the crabbing (will not be able to eat another crab after eating the fresh king crab!) Unfortunately we missed out on the chasing the northern lights, on snowmobile, as the river was too slushy. All in all, it was a very special thing to do, and will stay in our memory forever.

I found Nordic Visitor superb to work with. Emails were answered in a timely fashion, information was presented in a clear and concise manner and Larus was fantastic to work with.

Overall, a very positive trip. Although we only saw the northern lights once (and then they were not at their best), we still enjoyed Iceland. The people are friendly, food was good and the scenery was spectacular. We would like to return in the summer to experience Iceland in that season.

The Northern Lights tour was wonderful! We really enjoyed the winter activities also. Booking was very easy.

Jennie, our agent, was fantastic. She sorted everything out in the limited time we had in Kiruna and her suggestions to fit in as much as we did in three days were all great.

I have just returned from a wonderful 12-day Aurora Safari by rail and cruise package arranged by Nordic Visitor, below are some of my comments on this tour:

1. The "Norway in a Nutshell" has provided me a good perspective of Norway.

2. The combination of cruise, train, bus, and flight over 10 days gave me a compress yet varied and comprehensive look into Norwegian life style and land scape.

3. The dog sledging day tour was filled with fun and laughter, while the aurora light chasing tour was the most memorable experience. 

4. Most importantly, the connections between various parts of the tour made by Nordic Visitor fit seamlessly into the schedule.

5. I truly appreciate the help and guidance provided by the two agents Helena and Kolbrún from Nordic Visitor, before and during the trip.

I highly recommend the services of Nordic Visitor to anyone interested in exploring the Scandinavian region.

The Ice Hotel was AMAZING, what a concept. The dogsled from the airport was a fun experience. The Scandic Ferrum for the rest of the stay was fantastic. The staff at both places were exceptional. The snowmobile tour, although eventful, was just a hoot. The most fun we have had in ages. All the meals in all locations were just great and good value. Kiruna is a lovely town and the people are terrific. There aren't enough adjectives to describe it all. Just a load of fun. A must for something completely different. Everything was organised beyond expectation. Just do it!!!

We had a fantastic trip! My husband and I had been pretty busy with work just before this vacation, and we were looking for someone to do the "heavy lifting" of the planning for us (hotels, overall itinerary, etc.) without having to be in a big tour group. This was the perfect fit for us! Everything was clearly laid out, and the flexibility along the way was much appreciated. We're already planning our next trip to see more of the country!

Our tour was extremely well organized and Hilmar was always polite, quick with his responses, and made the booking experience very easy. He was able to book tours in advance and even suggested we wait to arrive to book some weather-dependent experiences. He provided valuable information and recommendations and we doubt we would have had as unforgettable an experience without his guidance.

It was one of the most free and liberating vacations we ever had. It was flawless and relaxing. Thank you, Jelena, for planning it for us and listening to what we wanted to see. Your suggestions were great and more than 2000 pictures are a good testimony to it.

Larus was excellent right from our first enquiry and always replied promptly to emails. The whole booking and payment process went smoothly and all documentation arrived as advised. When we told our friends and family that we were going to Iceland they said "why, what is there to see". Since we returned we have not stopped talking about our trip and showing photos of this incredibly beautiful country such a long way from Australia. I proudly wear my "Iceland..... been there" T Shirt. It is a great conversation starter.

We booked a 9 day full circle self drive. Having someone book everything for you was a big help. We were met at the airport by a very helpful driver with a welcome pack and mobile phone.The car rental company picked us up the next morning and then off we went.Route 1 was easy to drive around and we saw some amazing scenery on our route. Accomodation was basic with shared bathrooms on the package we chose but they can be pgraded to private.

Definately want to go back and see some more. Were lucky enough to see the northern lights.

We felt the experience to be a very good experience. From the start of our query re: taking a holiday in Scandinavia Irja was very helpful - she was quick to respond to our queries and was always polite and helpful. Our trip was organised to our expectation and in some cases exceeded our expectation…Tickets, everything went without a hitch and we were able to find our way around all the countries that we visited and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The help and professional manner in which Helena conducted our business was greatly appreciated. All her arrangements proceeded perfectly and we had no concerns or worries during the course of our holiday.

While I was excited about visiting Iceland with my family (2 adults and 2 20-something sons), I knew that I was not going to have the time to plan my trip due to my busy spring work schedule. Nordic Visitor made the trip so easy and took care of everything from cars, to hotels and even booking some activities upfront. Upon arrival, we received a beautifully bound personalized itinerary and map marked with a suggested route. Since it was my first visit to Iceland, I followed many of their suggestions on places to visit, have dinner or do extra activities and was not disappointed. I worked with Lárus as my consultant and even though we booked the Full Circle Tour relatively late, he came through with great accommodations that varied from a rustic guesthouse on a working farm to a brand new luxury guesthouse. He went on vacation the two weeks prior to our trip, but introduced me to a colleague who was super helpful in putting together some last minute details. If there is any minor criticism I would have it would be that one of the days involved a particularly long drive and felt a big rushed.

Because of my delightful experience with Nordic Visitor, I will most definitely use them again. Scandinavia is on my bucket list and I am looking forward to visiting these locations with their help!

It was a spectacular trip. I've wanted to visit Iceland for 20 years, and this trip did not let me down! Now I want to go back and see the Northern Lights. There were so many experiences that felt like a peak experience in my life…Thank you.

What a beautiful, vast, diverse country. Nordic Visitor ensured we had all the advice needed to tailor-make the holiday to our exact interests and abilities. We took our two youngest children and they were accounted for in suggestions of things to do and see. We all had a fantastic time. Thanks Gudrún.

This is the first time that we have ever used a tour company. Usually we fly somewhere, rent a car, and plan all of our excursions ourselves. We were very impressed with the accommodations, service, and level of professionalism that was shown us. We appreciated having the hotels pre-arranged and each day sketched out for us-it really helped us relax knowing that we knew where we were staying that night and what we were doing the next day. We did not experience one single hiccup or problem during the entire trip-no missed connections, lost reservations, etc. It was awesome. You guys did a fantastic job. I feel as if we had a much better time in Iceland and saw much more than if we had planned it all ourselves.

The Nordic Visitor website is one of the best travel websites out there. It's well organized and easy to use, which is what made my sister and I decide to book with Nordic Visitor. Alexandra always answered our questions in a timely manner and gave us extremely thorough and detailed information. The travel documents, maps and books that were sent to us and then given to us again upon arrival were excellent and very helpful. All of the hotel bookings and transfers worked out perfectly. The rental car and cell phone were excellent as well. We're so glad we decided to go with the 4x4. There was a large amount of excursion and activity choices given to us, which were easily added onto our trip by Nordic Visitor. Every part of the trip that was planned by Nordic Visitor was flawless.

I am generally accustomed to making my own travel arrangements via the internet, but due to time constraints I decided to choose a travel agent to take care of things for me. From the first questions to the last, Alexandra at NV was fantastic. She arranged everything as we requested it for our custom tour of the Westfjords of Iceland! She even rearranged accommodations at the last minute at our request and did so graciously and kindly. 

We fell in love with Iceland and will treasure our visit there for years to come. If we decided to visit another country serviced by Nordic Visitor Tours, we will once again call on Alex and her team! Can't go wrong!

We were so happy with everything and would travel again with your company. We were happy with the whole trip, always having two days stay in the different towns, and the whole program, the choice of hotels and the positions of the hotels, well done.

We have just returned from a wonderful 15 day tour of Iceland planned by Nordic Visitor. Our agent's name is Alexandra. She was always responsive to the huge number of questions I asked her when planning the trip. Her patience is commendable.

Once Alexandra zeroed in on my love for Puffins, and birds in general, she tailored a wonderful 12 day trip circumnavigating Iceland. We did the Eastern Fjords (Bakkagerði situated on the coast of the Borgarfjörður Eystri) where we were treated to Puffins with mouths full of fish. We also did Látrabjarg Bird Cliffs outside of Patreksfjörður in the Vestfirðir. We saw so much beauty in Iceland that it is difficult to describe. She also arranged fantastic places for us to stay, starting at the Center Hotel Arnarhvoll in Reykjavik. The information and map were well documented with our route outlined in green and our hotel name and night put in orange. It was very easy to follow her suggested route and we had a full set of vouchers for each place we stayed, including a gift of the thermal pools in the Lake Myvatn area.

My biggest concern was distance between places as it is difficult to plan how long we could stay in one spot before moving on. She worked the kilometers out and gave us an approximate time frame to reach the next destination. That helped with adding or eliminating the amount of stops we could make. My only regret is having too few days in Iceland as well as several "down days" where we didn't feel like we had to move on so often.

I would highly recommend this company and Alexandra. We even went to the office to meet her and everyone was so warm and hospitable.

It was a fantastic trip, with so much to see and do that we would need much more time to do all the walkings and enjoy all the beautiful sceneries. It certainly fulfilled our expectations.

We booked rather late, but our travel adviser was right on top of everything and got our plans quickly in order. Our plane to Iceland arrived very late, so we were unfortunately unable to meet with her personally. She did, however, make sure we received a travel bag with an excellent personalized tour book and driving map. Our accommodations and highlights the to see along the way were clearly marked, and we were very pleased with every place she recommended. We saw the beautiful natural features and learned the incredible history of the island along the way. Iceland is unique - rich in natural features and culture. Almost everyone speaks English, so even though the Icelandic language was difficult, we were always able to find help. This was a fantastic trip - probably the best in natural beauty I've ever taken. Someday, I hope to return, and I will use Nordic Visitor as my choice of travel planner.

We cannot wait to return to Iceland and look forward to booking future holidays with Nordic visitor. What was excellent in this case was that we had to do very little ourselves and it was all so well organised and arranged by Alexandra.

Me and my girlfriend drove around the country (12 days because we added some extra nights to the base trip) on a self drive tour booked through Nordic Visitor. We chose budget accommodation throughout and it was beyond excellent. Clean rooms/facilities, friendly owners, and tasty breakfast provided at each place.

The tour was flawlessly orchestrated by our NV agent. Wholeheartedly an amazing, unforgettable trip. The agent you are assigned is a local, ie. someone who knows what you can do in the time-frame you provide (not someone working at a shopping mall 1000's of km away, selling you pictures from a brochure and guessing what you can achieve). 

The rental car arrangements, sleeping accommodations, pick ups/drop offs, activities, etc were all based off vouchers that your agent prepares for you, and you use these along your trip route. It was brilliantly simple and well detailed (each voucher had contact numbers and addresses to your destinations). Put the information into the GPS you are provided with, and off you go. Need to call your accommodation or activity for more info or because you're arriving late? No problem! NV provides a pre-paid cell phone to get in touch. We even used ours to just call taxis when we needed. NV flawlessly took care of the core details for us, the rest was our own adventure to do as we pleased.

If you want to see Iceland, even on shorter routes, NV knows what they are doing. Highly recommended because I would have wasted hours online trying to figure out each days accommodation, activity, etc on my own (especially in the more remote areas). Iceland lives in my heart now. Booking through NV allowed me to spend more time enjoying this beautiful country, and its wonderful people, without worrying about all the background booking details.

From the moment of booking to our return flight NV and Alexandra made the whole trip a once in a lifetime experience. Even the weather was perfect although I'm not sure they had anything to do about that!

The booking process was simple and clearly explained everything we were booking and the extra options available. Our hotel preferences were almost perfectly met and the one choice we couldn't get in (Ranga) was substituted with Hotel Anna, which was the gem of all the lovely hotels we stayed in. Alexandra worked so hard to meet our requests and got upgrades where possible, adding welcome luxury to our tour.

The standard sights (Reykjavik, Gulfoss, Geysir, Blue Lagoon) have to be done - all are very memorable! What really stood out though were the days we toured the south of the island. Walking behind a waterfall at Skogafoss, driving through incredible ever-changing landscapes with glaciers within touching distance, black beaches and whale-watching at Vik, snowmobiling on a volcano, glacier-walking, Watching seals swim in beautiful Jokulsalon in the middle of a blizzard and an hour later climbing a waterfall in warm sunshine. A truly unbelievable place.

We'd highly recommend all hotels we stayed in: Hotel Reykjavik Centrum (we had the incredible deluxe room with a balcony and mezzanine bedroom, Grímsborgir (luxury cottage was huge and hot-tub in -10C a first), Geirland (lovely remote farm hotel), Northern Lights (and yes we saw them a couple of times!) and the stunning Hotel Anna (don't be fooled by the pics, they really don't do it justice - it's intentionally rustic but very clean and excellent service and food; the whale and horse steaks were to die for).

If you're visiting Iceland and you want zero stress, 100% enjoyment and a flexible, efficient and very friendly booking process focused entirely on your requirements then choose NV to look after you.

Speci

We would like to say that our consultant Cecilia was fantastic, we travel widely and she is the best consultant we have dealt with, friendly efficient and very helpful.

Just got back from a brilliant week in Iceland courtesy of Larus at Nordic Visitor who sorted 5 great hotels over 6 nights and the ideal vehicle in a Ford Kuga 4WD. in particular going above and beyond the call of duty to encourage us in taking his recommendation of Hotel Volcano in Vik and Blue Lagoon Clinic....both of which are the closest to boutique hotels and were by far the best 2 hotels in our amazing holiday.

Also the pickup from the airport was great as was the level of printed info handed to us by our driver.....not to mention the invaluable GPS and local mobile......everything was seamlessly covered! Will use these guys next time we visit the Nordic countries as great value

We have just got back home after probably the best holiday we have ever had! Everything was superbly planned and the guys at Kiruna Guidetur were fantastic. In fact everyone we met was friendly and so helpful. The hotels were excellent and the food really great - especially at the Abisko Tourist Station and when we went up to the Aurora Sky Station the girl who did the dinner there was world class, especially when she had to prepare the meal in such cramped conditions,

The activities were wonderful - the snowmobiles, the husky sleds, the horse and sleigh ride, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. The Ice Hotel was fantastic too. It is such a magical place - the snow, the clear air - all absolutely wonderful. A more beautiful place would be hard to find. Thank you so much for organising the holiday for us. I have been on the phone this morning urging all my friends to go there!

Our first experience with Nordic Visitor was in 2010 when we did a 14 day driving tour of Norway. We had an amazing time and were very grateful to the wonderful folk who organised it, we felt well supported though we had no problems. We have just had our second experience with Nordic Visitor and this time we really got to know just how well supported we really were. Our 11 day driving tour of Iceland hit problems when extreme weather meant we were held up in Djupivogur half way around the island. Our representative Bjorg rang us to make sure we knew that it was unsafe to drive any further north and we should wait out the bad weather. We ended up stuck for 3 nights and time constraints meant we did not have time to do the full ring road and needed to retrace our steps and head back to Reykjavic. She arranged our alternative accommodation and emailed us an updated itinerary. We were thankful to not have any stress to ourselves in this regard. We will certainly always recommend the services of NordicVisitor.

Even though we travel to Europe at least a couple of times a year and do it indepently (find our own accomodation, etc.), Iceland was different for us. Iceland's reputation of being very expensive concerned us too.

We pinpointed the potential travel time as early September (2012), during the summer, we started to search more intensely. Tried to compare and understand the kinds and details of services offered by a number of different operators. 

Self-drive tours appealed to us since we would be still independent but especially accommodations would be arranged for us. Small towns with potentially limited accomodations and the distance in between did not give a comfort level for arranging our own accomodations.

Secondly, we thought a local & reputable company would have certain standards and make arrangements for B/B and hotels accordingly. 

Seeing that they are experts in Scandinavian/Nordic travel, decided to contact Nordic Visitor. Also the coverage and duration of their tours appealed to us. After exchanging a few e-mails with some questions, which were promptly answered, decided to phone them directly to expedite the process. The phone response was efficient (Manuella), friendly, informative and spoke to the quality of the service we may potentially be getting from this agency. Due to being 6 hour behind Iceland (Western Canada) some of the phone calls coincided with the end of the work day in Iceland but Manuella did not mind and give as much info. as we needed to make an educated decision even though she ended up staying late in the office. Our choice was made and it was the FULL CIRCLE tour of Iceland. We chose the budget accommodations and the economy car options. It was within our budget and was going to give a fairly good view of Iceland.

We decided to fly to Reykjavik first and spend four days there. Manuella confirmed that upon our arrival, if we contact Nordic Visito

My husband and I have travelled through many parts of the world and we agreed that our trip to Iceland was one of the best. We have highly recommended Nordic Visitor and Iceland to friends, family and work colleagues. We had excellent help in planning the trip. The accomodations throughout Iceland were located in beautiful locations, easy to find, very clean and new. Food was excellent, as good as any European cuisine. Given the quality of food, prices were not high. And now for the best part: the scenery was varied and beautiful (we are Canadians with high standards), there were dozens of activities for those who love sports and the outdoors, for people of any age and families. Roads were excellent, no traffic jams, directions made everything easy to find. We did not have to worry about crime or witness poverty. The people were really friendly, and most spoke excellent english. Our trip was the last 10 days of July and we had good weather for the trip with only one day of rain.

My husband and I chose the Iceland Express tour in mid July. Our travel agent, Sigfus, was very thorough in the planning and everything went very smoothly. We chose the mid level or "comfort" option and all the accommodations were clean and comfortable. The rental car was great and very fuel efficient. Iceland is planet earths best kept secret. I hope others will consider cooling off a little in the middle of summer and visit Iceland!

I used Nordic Visitor when I travelled to Iceland for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience. They gave us free passes to the Blue Lagoon for our birthdays, and they also let us change our itinerary after we arrived when we realized we wanted to spend more time with a friend in Reykjavik. This was at no cost to us. The thing I appreciated most was the fact that they chose hostels for us that were difficult to find in guides, and this made our experience so much better. One hostel we stayed at (Hrifunes) was just a small house on top of a mountain, and I never would have known to stay there, but it was my favorite of all the hostels. I will definitely use Nordic Visitor again in their other locations. I had such a wonderful experience with them!

Nordic Visitor, with Alexandra as our local travel specialist, set up our nine night self-drive tour and thought of everything. Our personal taxi driver met us at Keflavik Int'l Airport after an overnight flight from Boston to hand us our travel documents, local cellphone, and give us a guided tour on our way to our Keflavik hotel. The documents (map, detailed itinerary, highlights of Iceland on our route, useful information, expanded tourist information guidebook, and daily travel vouchers) directed us around the island with ease and were very professionally put together. The Nordic Visitor arranged rental SUV (SUV allows access to restricted back-country roads) came with a free GPS. The middle level Comfort Accomodations were quite adequate. Alexandra was always there for us: before the trip to relay details and answer e-mail questions, on arrival in Reykjavik to further recommend sights along our route, during the trip if needed via out free cellphone, and at the end of the trip during the extra day that she arranged for us in Reykjavik. Great Trip! Fascinating Country!

I think we all loved Iceland and hope to return some day. The self-drive tour was a perfect choice because we had a safety net with Nordic Visitor but still had the independence to do what we wanted each day. We enjoyed coming during May because nothing was crowded and we got to experience four seasons of Iceland which was certainly an adventure. If we visited again though we would probably try to come in June or later in May. I was also worried that there would be a lot of things that we would want to do which would cost more money, but all of the most amazing things were free, and were part of the Nordic Visitor Itinerary. There were some places we explored independently of the itinerary, but that was part of the fun and freedom of the self-drive tour.

Nordic Visitor impressed us from the start with instant replies to Emails and the ability to call Nordic Visitor using a 1800 number from Australia, as I did once, was great. I have to thank Helena for everything she did for us, including sorting the slight hiccup that occurred in our pickup from Oslo airport. The documentation presented to us was 1st class, maps, travel information, and we much appreciated the DVDs from Hurtigruten. We loved everywhere we travelled, Trondheim, cruising the Fjords, Bergin, perhaps Flam was a highlight, getting there, the accommodation, the included meal, the train ride. As it turned out we did the train from Flam to Myrdal twice as the train to Oslo could not operate due to snow, so they sent us back to Flam and then a bus to Oslo. Still this included travelling in the world’s longest road tunnel, which, in its way, was an unexpected highlight. Many thanks to Nordic Visitor and Helena, maybe Iceland is next.

Took a Northern Lights tour last weekend.

Very professional, great driver/guide. Super vehicle for 6 passengers.

Saw the Lights, wonderfully enjoyable evening.

I found all Nordic Visitor staff I had email contact with very friendly, helpful and accommodating. When there were issues with the invoice, staff were helpful and understanding and the situation was sorted out easily. Staff responded quickly to emails

and were always ready if we had questions. Good on you, keep it up!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip -- it was excellent! Your company was very responsive and helpful in the planning of our trip. The materials you provided were very good, and the pacing of the trip (driving route and stops) and quality of the accommodations were excellent. The maps, itinerary notes, and cell phone were especially helpful to have, as well as access to the video on driving in Iceland. Overall, it was a great experience, and would consider coming back in a future year, with additional destinations beyond Iceland.

The most enjoyable holiday we have been on. The Icelandic people always made us very welcome and had high standards of service. Everything ran according to plan; very impressive.

We were thrilled and have already passed along your website to friends! Thank you so much for planning such a spectacular holiday for us... We plan to return and would love to work with NV again. We've been all around the world and agree that Iceland is at the top of our favorites!

Hi Erla and Bjorg, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know what a wonder time we had because you did such a good job setting up our trip. You have a beautiful country and wonderful Icelanders. Everyone was gracious, warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and the boat ride. We especially enjoyed stumbling onto the festivals. While in Norourland Eystra, stayed Daeli, we saw a Icelandic singer with a wonderful voice, Egill Olafsson in some ancient ruins at night that took our breath away. And while in Grundafjordur we saw a parade of four colors with music and fun afterwards until 11:30 pm. It was cold to us but we stuck it out. Myvatn Natural Baths were fantastic. We did not want to get out...The people at Nordic Visitor in Iceland are terrific. The trip was well planned with good Accommodations and excellent sightseeing adventures... I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor. Also, Erla and Bjorg. Erla made all the itinerary and Bjorg greeted us at the Nordic Visitor office. Bjorg spent an hour with us happily and professionally going over everything.

Dear Maria.

Uei and I returned to the U.S. yesterday from Iceland. I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip and appreciate everything you did for us. Especially re-booking our hotels due to the volcanic eruption. Iceland is a beautiful country and we hope to return in the future. Thank you again!

We loved this tour! Felt like we had Iceland to ourselves at some points, so quite and beautiful. The landscape is breathtaking and Icelanders are so welcoming. We were surprised by the inventive cuisine, some of the best meals of our lives. We loved the guidebook and our own private itinerary booklet which we will keep as a souvenir of this amazing holiday. The cell phone was a nice touch! Everything was well organized and made our time here easy.

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip. It was easy and stress free and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for everything - it was well organised. The mobile phone was great. Thank you - it was a fantastic holiday!!!

This vacation was definitely the most beautiful one in all my life, and you know how old I am and can imagine that i have done a number of beautiful trips. The preparation from your side was so absolutely professional, so excellent and brilliant ... other travell agencies in the future will have a really hard time to even come near this standard. I already plan to come again next year, either 10-14 days on my own, or for a sort of same trip with my brother. he lives in Sweden, and has been to Reykjavik a few years ago on a company-convention ... but only a few days, and has not seen too much. (but was fascinated like everyone who has eyes to see iceland). Once again: our warmest thank you so much for the preparation of this trip. even if you might say that this was your job ... you did an excellent job!! And you know we have met other customers of yours who said the same.

While I suppose most people are interested in the large cities, we generally prefer smaller towns like Vadstena. I am not sure you could fashion a "small town," or "country" tour, but after Stockholm we much preferred the smaller towns. This was our second trip with Nordic Visitor, the first being Iceland two years ago. We loved both and have recommended Nordic Visitor to a number of our friends. Well done.

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your help & handling of my Stockholm city break last month - everything was just perfect, in fact, so much more than I expected! I loved the Adlon Hotell (could just live there - charming - and so close by walking to everything) but my favorite portion of the trip was the boat trip to Birka Island - just a lovely late summer day out on the water & the island itself so beautiful and quiet, the Viking burials and the walking tour, etc., all just fascinating. So, thanks again for your assistance with my trip; I have been recommending Nordic Visitor to all!

I would recommend this service to anyone. They made our trip to Sweden effortless. We encountered passport problems at the start of our trip which resulted in a delay and Cecilia was able to rearrange everything for us. She went above and beyond in service to us. This is the only way to go and I would definitely use this service again!

Great! Well planned for our desires, such as hiking, etc. Lodging was very nice with great breakfasts and staff. All maps and booklets were very helpful. When we had questions, we were always answered promptly. Good job Nordic Visitor!

This was an excellent trip and we highly recommend Nordic Visitor for booking. We didn't have to do anything, they had everything arranged and it was a seamless, amazing experience! Thank you so much!

We had a great trip. The booking with Nordic Visitor let us focus on enjoying the trip and not working out the overall details. We appreciated your services.

Everything was spectacular. Our guide, the hotels, the food, the sites. We will be back to Iceland in the winter!

This was the perfect combination of a planned itinerary with lots of ability to go on our own to places not necessarily on the tour. We also loved the flexibility of staying longer in one place and leaving another more quickly based on our personal preferences. We had no issues during our trip so we did not need to contact Nordic Visitor at all but I would assume that any issues would have been quickly resolved.

This is the most amazing trip we have ever done, Iceland is so beautiful and magical, people are so welcoming and lively. I also need to mention that the food is amazing! I have recommended it to several people already, specially Nordic Visitor's services. We didn't want to have a tour bus trip, but we wanted to have it all arranged and I liked the idea of doing a self driving trip. Nordic Visitor made it so perfect, having a prefixed route, awesome hotels and great suggestions on where to hike, restaurants and having local experiences already scheduled made it special. We for sure are coming back to Iceland and will use your services.

Fabulous!! We decided at the last minute to visit Iceland when we learned that vaccinated Americans were permitted to travel there. It was wonderful to have Nordic Visitor make all the travel arrangements since we didn't have time to research everything ourselves. Such stunning and dramatic scenery! There was one little snafu - our voucher for the Haycart Tour said 10:30, but in fact they departed at 10:15. They were able to re-book us to the afternoon trip, and then we had to change our boat ride to later in the afternoon. We called Nordic Visitor and they swapped out our tickets and promptly sent us a refund. Very easy and helpful.

The framework provided by Nordic Visitor was excellent and the hotels outside of Reykjavík were great. It would have been nice to receive the proposed itinerary a few days earlier before our departure.

We had rooms that matched our expectations both in quality and in great locations overlooking the ocean, River Delta, etc. The route was mapped out perfectly. When we called with concerns about the weather, they answered all of our questions.

Overall a very good experience. We did find that some of the information provided was not correct in respect to open restaurants in the hotels. We understand that Covid most likely impacted openings.

We took the Complete Ring Road tour and enjoyed it immensely. The itinerary, the map, and the personalized assistance all made the travel less stressful. We were able to enjoy it so much more not having the stress of figuring things out for ourselves. One thing that I think Nordic Visitor should do is provide a restaurant guide for more remote locations!

I especially want to thank Silja for so kindly putting up with all our questions. We felt confident that we were not alone and would receive needed guidance and help.

The itinerary was well paced with the opportunity to explore each day. It was more driving than I expected.

We were very happy to have been referred to Nordic Visitor by a friend based on their good experience. It was nice to have a contact that was familiar with the local area providing input on our itineraries. It was great to have a contact when we were there also as a couple of items needed to be rescheduled due to the weather and also when we had questions we had a person to call. This made our experience very comfortable in another country.

Our tour to Iceland was a stress-free, seamless experience. It was planned so well, from booking questions through the logistics of international flights during COVID. Our agent, Silja, gave us individual advice before the trip and included a personally highlighted map with handwritten comments about things along the route. We loved the flexibility to wander and explore each day, and found the location of each nightly accommodation to be in just the right place. Our itinerary and voucher packet was perfectly organized, although we found we really didn't need them - we were expected everywhere we went. Everything was stress-free: the transit to and from the airport, the car rental, the extras we booked, even the usual awkwardness of communicating in an unfamiliar country. I would like to use only Nordic Visitor for all my trips!

Everything was planned with precision and care for our perfect experience in Iceland. Kristin was patient, responsive, and very helpful during our entire process of planning. When I did have to call Nordic Visitor, someone always answered the phone and helped us. The detail on the map with the handwritten details and notes was a great touch. Our experience was perfect!

My wife and I just finished the Ring Road express, touring Iceland for the first time. While the country was amazing, Nordic Visitor had the whole package figured out and it worked like clockwork, from the pickup at the airport, to the rental car, the hotels along the route and the details of easily navigating Iceland. And when we needed to change the pickup details of our last day (twice), they were very quick and responsive to help us. Finally, a shout out to our rep, Anita, who was very kind and helpful with all of our questions. I would use this company again in a heartbeat.

Everything was as described. The whole tour went very smoothly. We had excellent service from Thor, and Daniel in Thor's absence.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Nordic Visitor took all the hard work out of traveling by having everything arranged in advance with an easy to follow itinerary. We wouldn't have been able to plan such a great trip without their suggestions. The tour to the Treshnish Isles was a highlight, we saw puffins, guillemots and other birds, absolutely amazing.

We had such an amazing holiday! First time booking a self-drive holiday, but we were put at ease with such great organisation and communication from our very own travel consultant. Rebecca was so friendly and helpful. She was quick to respond to any queries on the trip or happy just to give a bit of advice on best places to eat or the best routes to take. It was great knowing she was on hand to help with anything we needed to make our experience the best. All the accommodation was easy to find and well planned out on each step of our journey. Each hotel/B&B was in a great location with easy access to shops and restaurants, we didn't have to drive anywhere on an evening, we could have a walk about to explore the local area. Staff at the small B&Bs were so welcoming, we did feel right at home. The home cooked Scottish breakfasts were delicious, with lots of options each day. The journey was well planned out, the itinerary was amazing! It was great to have a copy sent before our trip so I could do a bit of my own planning and research on what we would like to see. It was good to have suggestions on sights and places of interest to see each day. We managed to see some wonderful places. The highlighted map was really useful to have on hand. A big thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday it was all planned so well. A special thanks to Rebecca for all her help and also planning a little surprise for my boyfriend's birthday! He had a wonderful day. Hope to travel with you again soon. Alice and Jay.

Top quality in every respect. A beautiful experience.

The tour was great. Nordic Visitor went out of their way to customize our trip based on needs to be in certain places at certain times. It all worked out really well and we got to do/see everything we had hoped to.

Nordic Visitor prepared us for our trip to Iceland. They also provided the support we needed to successfully navigate a new country to us. We greatly enjoyed our visit and would recommend Nordic Visitor to others.

High quality service, a very good value for money, in my opinion.

We did have lots of changes and Kristin really came through for us. All worked out great. Because of time changes and heavy email loads on your part, there were delays but nothing too earth shattering.

Our family came with no expectations. We left with smiles and excitement. Everyone agreed the trip was 10/10.

Nordic Visitor was a life saver during the COVID pandemic. With being at a different hotel every night around the country, we didn't have to deal with calling multiple different places to postpone our original trip. It was way less stressful to just have to deal with one person regarding the postponement and rebooking of the trip. Highly recommend!

Our teenage grandchild loved it. Maybe too many caves and waterfalls. Way expensive.

We did an 8 Day - 7 Night self driving tour of the South and Western areas of Iceland. All the suggested sites and attractions were very good choices. The only additional inclusion organized by Nordic Visitor was the visit to the Blue Lagoon. I would suggest that the travel agent working with anyone doing a self driving tour and staying at an old town hotel where there is little or no parking available, tell the potential tourist that upfront and not just include the information in the detailed itinerary that is received upon arrival.

Not being a "world traveler" I was nervous about planning a visit to Iceland. Nordic Visitor made everything so easy and worry-free. We had a fantastic journey in a beautiful country with little worry. Thank you!

I thought that the daily itinerary should include a more detailed zoomed in map for the travel that was done on that day. Also since it was personalized I would have liked each page of itinerary to be followed by the tourist info about the sites for that day.

Nordic Visitor representatives are kind and sensitive to our needs. Our trans son cannot stand his birth name and Silja made sure that any contact we had, such as in hotels or airport transfers, referred to him by his chosen name. I cannot get that kind of service here in the US.

First class.

The package delivered as promised. It was easy to book and provided a good overview of what to expect. Thor was responsive and helpful throughout the booking process. We received all the required information in a convenient package, and the entire trip went smoothly. Definitely would use Nordic Visitor to book again, even for more bespoke trips.

We had a wonderful time and very much appreciated the detail itinerary provided. It provided helpful information for each day. The additional tours were also great additions. Our tour advisor was very responsive and helpful. We'd book through this company again.

Alexandra was usually very timely with her replies to e-mails. And she, or a colleague, were helpful with a couple of requested changes once we were in Iceland.

Our private tour was excellent. Our guide/driver was knowledgeable and very helpful. Overall Nordic Visitor made our Icelandic experience a memorable experience. Covid complicated things a bit, but Silja patiently guided us through the process necessary for us to enter Iceland and return to the US. In the end we encountered no hitches whatsoever. I would not hesitate to book with Nordic Visitor in the future.

Overall a great trip, but again not receiving travel documents until 4 days before arrival was extremely stressful. Would have liked to receive at least 2 weeks in advance.

Superb!! Our first ever 'touring' holiday and right up there with the best holidays we have ever had. We are not youngsters, so this was taken on with a bit of trepidation, but were soon put at ease by the sheer quality of accommodation provided along with the superb travel itinerary book (yes, it's that thick and detailed) and map. Even though we often used local recommendations, these became our trusted companions throughout the week - and are now valued reminders of an exceptional holiday - Thankyou Nordic Visitor, we will be back!

We loved our trip to Iceland and found it a beautiful and dramatic landscape full of unique places to visit. Nordic Visitor provided us with all the information we needed on our tour, and suggested highlights particularly suited to what we wanted to see and do. Overall it was a fantastic experience which has left us keen to revisit Iceland again one day. 

Would highly recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone wishing to visit Iceland. The itinerary, and information provided before the start of our tour was excellent and took care of all our concerns. Despite travelling in some of the worst weather conditions Iceland could throw at us we were only a phone call away from Nordic Visitor and the in car WiFi was a real bonus. All our concerns-snowed in, in the south, at Saeluhus I Landbroti with breakfast 4 km away and again snowbound at Gauksmýri in the north and unable to travel on- were dealt with rapidly and became part of the adventure rather than a worry.  Thank you Nordic Visitor for a memorable visit to your stunning country. Thank you for keeping us updated with the Coronavirus news and how it may have impacted on our travels. A big thank you to all the accommodation owners who went out of their way to make sure we were kept as safe as possible given the exceptional circumstances.  

Everything was fine, accomodations were perfect, comfortable and very good breakfast. Our experience with Nordic Visitor was very helpful and the followups were very efficient.

Even if I could have saved money by booking each piece directly myself, I would still choose Nordic Visitor for the simplicity and peace of mind. The things-to-do suggestions were perfect, but we liked having the freedom to decide for ourselves. All around an amazing experience.

3rd time we have used NV and will continue to do so!

Every accommodation was stunning! We were met with enthusiasm and kindness and courtesy. I cannot say enough about our trip and the way it was set up and the accommodations. Everything was spot on and it was the trip of a lifetime for my sister and I. We already have friends who have booked a trip through Nordic as well. I am seriously considering another trip to Scotland next year and using Nordic for sure.

Really lovely tour which felt independent. Excellent hotels, easy travel arrangements, stunning scenery, wonderful journeys... an incredible holiday. Thank you. Very highly recommended.

Hotels were all lovely and very accommodating.

The accommodations mapped out for us were wonderful. All were 3star or higher rated B&Bs and they were all centrally located to attractions and historic landmarks we wanted to see. That fact alone made it really easy for us to walk or drive A short distance to sites or activities we were interested in doing on the trip, which made the experience very enjoyable. Both taxi services hired to pick us up and drop us off from the airport we're amazing as well. The taxi driver picking us up was especially helpful and even gave us a brief driving tour of Edinburgh the first day we arrived.

The whole trip was lovely and didn't feel like a tour at all. It just made getting around so easy without feeling too touristy. We just did whatever we felt like doing.

Thank you for providing an experience of a lifetime!!! The Magma Hotel was amazing! The glacial hike, glacial lagoon, Diamond Beach, and Thingvellir were my top favs. 

I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We have already been through most of the Nordic countries so I wished i would have found Nordic visitor sooner. If we repeat anything I will look you up again.  thanks for a memorable trip.

Thank you so much! Our experience in Scotland was wonderful! We felt prepared for what to expect, particularly as it relates to making dinner reservations on the islands we visited. The food recommendations were excellent , the accommodations were cozy, and the recommendations for sites and attractions greatly appreciated. A special thank you to Agne who answered all my inquiries, helped us make dinner reservations and confirmed all our dates and meeting times - she was a pleasure to work with!  

We loved the entire tour. It was all new to us and each day so different it is hard to compare. We have already recommended this tour to several friends who say they are very interested. 

This was our second visit to Norway booked through Nordic Visitor and both experiences were very good.  Your service saved us a lot of work and although not cheap, you booked better accommodation for us than we would have done for ourselves. Paying upfront removes the "pain of paying" effect from the period of the holiday itself, making the whole experience more enjoyable. Although we didn't need it, the availability of your 24/7 in-country helpline provides reassurance.

Iceland is an extraordinary country & one we are so pleased we have visited. Nordic Visitor were invaluable in taking all the hassle out of the selecting an itinerary and ensuring we got the most out of the trip. We had a fantastic and unforgettable family holiday - Thank You Nordic Visitor

Overall, this is the best organized tour we have experienced in our 20 years of travel. We were very busy and distracted before leaving for this trip, so it was very refreshing to have everything organized and scheduled for us ahead of time thereby saving us hours of investigating reviews online as to where to stay and what to visit. And, the "Icleand Road Guide" - huge map is awesome. We liked how (Thor?) entered additional points of interest. Thank you for making our 20th wedding anniversary a perfect experience!

Everything about the tour was great. I had a very enjoyable experience and I will highly recommend Nordic Visitor to others as well as using Nordic Visitor for my future Scandinavian tours. I was very impressed with the special way I was treated.

The overall tour was fantastic. I would highly recommend and would repeat for sure.

Seeing things through the eyes of a Scot who passionately loves his county and history.

I think working with Nordic Visitor to plan a self-driving trip was the way to go. Although guided tours are easy and enjoyable, we really prefer to travel on our own at this point. The planning and information provided by Nordic Visitor where you take care of all the details made this trip very easy. Your services of finding and booking the right kind of hotels and guesthouses to accomodate our budget, providing a beautiful travel guide and suggestions on what to see, and booking and including a car with Wi-Fi and information on all coordinates to map our trip made our trip enjoyable and easy. We were six adults in a van having a great time in Iceland -- thanks to Nordic Visitor. It was our magic bus for seven days. Thank you!

The location of the hotels could not have been better - all centrally located with access to points of interest and public transport. Transportation between cities was also well-planned.

This is my third tour with Nordic Visitor. As always, it was fantastic. Many thanks, I will be back for sure!

Overall the trip was excellent! I am glad to have come across Nordic Visitor online. Aside from the time savings, we had a much better travel experience than we would have if we'd tried to plan everything for ourselves.

Please keep the high standard. We love the service, the details for our Anniversary, the recommendations, the quick replies. You are one of the best tour operators in Europe. Thanks!

My sister and I had a thoroughly enjoyable visit to Iceland. Everything regarding our trip, from start to finish, was well organised and everyone we met from our airport chauffeurs to hotel staff to tour guide were genuinely friendly, helpful and keen to please. We have no hesitation in using Nordic Visitor in future or r commending your services to others. Thank you!

Attention by Hanna was excellent. We enjoyed all the accommodation, restaurants and general sites to visit. The Lava Tunnel was excellent and an unexpected wonder. In general ALL guides were absolutely excellent, humorous and informative; notably those for the Glacier Lake, Lava Tunnel , ATV bikes, Helicopter,

Again Sarah in Edinburgh was awesome!! Her diligence in the beginning, answering my questions about seeing ancestral sites, and giving me that info right off the bat is what tipped the scales to go with Nordic Visitor. There were other cheaper booking agencies, but I did not get the service or answers I did from Sarah!! She is a Great asset to Nordic Visitor!!

Was one of the best holidays we have had. The itinerary was perfect.

I cannot say enough good things about Nordic Visitor. Information given was thorough, accommodations were very comfortable (very friendly hosts) and tourist sights suggestions were incredibly helpful. Agne did a wonderful job! I highly would recommend her to anyone. If anyone has any doubts about booking with Nordic Visitor I would simply suggest reading the reviews...You'll find that the positive reviews are accurate!

Guide was Brian - he is fantastic!!! So knowledgeable, passionate about Scotland. We had such a great time and learned so much about Scotland. Easy schedule. Just a fabulous experience.

We had a very successful trip and I attribute a lot of this to the preparations put into place by Nordic. It was nice to know everything was laid out for us and a map highlighted with our trip and hotels marked was a great thing to have.  Also, the suggestions of things we might like to see was great!! Once again, thanks for a great trip!

Nordic Visitor Tours hit every mark of what we wanted to see in less than a week and we may go back in colder weather to see a different look of the country side. We were provided with a beautiful booklet showing each day’s events with photos, etc. We opted for hotels with private facilities and the two we stayed in were exceptionally clean. Food is wonderful in Reykjavik and outlying areas we stopped in while traveling. Everybody speaks English (our native language) so it made our trip more relaxing. We were fortunate to have chosen one of the few weeks in Iceland this summer that had little to no rain...which meant we over packed but at least we were prepared for anything. Nordic Visitor Tours is an amazing company to work with for travel and we have used many others in the past. I recommend you contact them and be amazed at their in-depth care they take for their clients.

Totally great experience! Our driver/guide was great and a lot of fun and made the trip so much fun. Everything went very smoothly and everyone was very nice and helpful.

Great communication and all very easy and relaxing. Had a great time. Thank you.

Agne was extremely helpful and informative when organising the holiday. All travel documents were emailed to us before we left Australia and hard copies were also waiting for us at our first accommodation in Edinburgh. The fold-out map that had been highlighted with route of the journey was terrific and easy to follow.

We were very pleased with everything. All of the guesthouses were lovely.

This is my second tour with Nordic Visitor. I am very satisfied with the tours offered, the service provided by the travel agent, the hotels booked, travel itinerary and material provided.

I was very impressed with the ease of use and professionalism of Nordic Visitor right from the initial website browsing through online booking, tour confirmation, payment and final documentation. Service from our Travel Consultant (Sarah) was top class and personalized. The guidance given on sites of interest was well researched and fully comprehensive. The whole experience was a pleasure. Well done.

We had a wonderful time on our private tour with Brian. He is an exceptional guide. He shared an extensive knowledge of Scotland, and made the country come alive. We saw more with him than we would have on our own, and we felt that he catered the tour to make sure that we saw what we wanted to see. We couldn't have been more pleased! The folks with Nordic were exceptional over all, and we look forward to booking another tour with your company in the future.

Our trip to Scotland, was one of the most relaxing trips I have ever taken other than a cruise. All the details were taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything. We were able to see and do everything at our own pace and didn't feel rushed to get anywhere. If we wanted to stop and take pictures, go on a hike or stop and shop in a town, we were able to because of the flexibility in our itinerary. The map that was provided was very detailed and easy to follow. All of the documents provided key details so there was never any confusion on where to go and when we needed to be there. We used the personal itinerary, highlights, and useful information like it was the Bible. The car rental was excellent and the car we received was brand new. The GPS in the rental car was a lifesaver on more than one occasion during our trip. We wouldn't have been able to see as much as we did without it. The hotels and guesthouses were very accommodating and provided excellent service. Everyone was very friendly and professional. The staff at the guesthouses and hotels were very knowledgeable and were able to answer any questions we had about the area where we were staying. Overall, it was the best trip we ever could've imagined. We were a little nervous because it was our very first trip to Europe but because everything went smoothly, we can't wait to go again! We would recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone and will most likely be booking another trip with your company as soon as we are able to. Thank you for providing all the details and information to make our trip so memorable.

We're very happy with the service and the overall plan, and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. We appreciated the organization and care that went into planning it for us.

We were very pleased with every aspect of this company.  It exceeded our expectations. We have already recommended Nordic Visitor to our friends and family and will continue to give it high praise. We would also like to mention that everyone we met on our rip that used Nordic Visitor also verbalized satisfaction with their experience.

Thank you Nordic Visitor for your thoroughly professional service at every stage. Look forward to doing more tours with you.

It was our PERFECT honeymoon! Couldn't ask for more. Our traveling package was perfect for our interests and all staff was very attentive and helpful. Overall great service. Thank you so much Nordic Visitor!

What a fantastic trip to Iceland. The self driving tour allows you to see what you want to see on your holiday. All the recommendations from the staff were wonderful. All the hotels/guesthouses were clean and easy to locate. Nordic Visitor is 10/10, very friendly and professional.

Everything was great. You made our stay very memorable and extremely comfortable.

Brian was an exceptional tour guide. He was informative, entertaining, got us where we needed to go safe and on time...and brought us to some extra sights along the way. His local insights were invaluable. Singing "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" every day when we got on the bus started the day off just right. I truly can't express how much we enjoyed this tour and I think a lot of that can be attributed to Brian.

Annie was perfection from the time we booked the tour and the maps and materials sent to us prior to departure were great. Being a vegan, I am used to "making due" with salads or whatever I can cajole the chef/cook to make me while traveling and often rely on protein bars, etc. The food on this trip was exceptional, and many of our trip mates where jealous of my meals. This pleasant surprise certainly took this trip to an entirely new level for me. The small group, the wonderful sights, the grand itinerary, the superb lodgings. Everything was enjoyable....truly.

Excellent personalized service, detailed information, availability of my consultant (via phone call or email); Your travel offer is just great, with many options for itineraries but even more important for me, the option of self-drive, that is traveling on my own terms more easily and effectively.

Nordic Visitor made travel around Iceland super easy and comfortable! Each destination was different which kept our journey educational and interesting! I'm sure we will take a summer trip in Iceland where we can do a couple of weeks and see the north and east areas as well. Thank you for a very different kind of vacation for us!

It was so user friendly and Cicci was very good in answering any queries promptly

The organisation of our trip was exceptional  Kristen was very friendly and competent and we were very happy with her Thank you for a wonderful trip

This was the most smooth trip I've ever been on. The welcome package was perfectly put together and easy to follow. I will certainly be using Nordic Visitor in the future and telling my friends and family. Thank you so much! 

Thank you to Therese for all of your help and the tour guides were great. Nothing but amazing things to say about everyone.

It was a wonderful experience and we'll definitely book our next nordic tour with you again. Keep going!

Of all the trips we have taken we loved working with Nordic visitor the most. You all make it so easy to plan a personal trip and fit a package to our needs. The whole process from pre booking to the final trip was wonderful. Anita went above and beyond hand marking the map with fun spots for us to stop along the way...we loved the great recommendations she made for dinners, hot springs etc, that was an unexpected bonus.  I would 100% recommend booking through Nordic visitor to friends and we will book again in the future for another adventure.  

Nordic Visitor did such a great job planning our trip! It was nice to have an already-existing tour to start from, but it was also very easy to tailor the trip to our specific interests. We loved every minute of our time in Norway and Sweden and would absolutely use Nordic Visitor again.

Accommodation surpassed my expectation! It was excellent

It was the best trip of my life that I have ever been on. The Hotels and the car rental were managed for us, which took off all the stresses of traveling for us. The detailed map was perfect, loved the little details like where to find "homemade ice cream". Loved that every day there was something to see and do but still had the option to relax and/or take the day off. Our favorite moments was The whole entire New Year's Eve day! Starting out with the guided tour around Reykjavik. Learning about local folklore. Then heading over to the New Year's Eve dinner, that had us laughing and entertained! Nordic Visitor did it all correctly and can't wait to book with them again. 

Klara was excellent. Iceland was great and we would love to visit again in the summer in future!

Everything was wonderful!

I couldn't have been happier with my experience! This was my first time traveling abroad by myself and Nordic Visitor made everything so easy. I loved the travel documents, in particular the customized map with noted sites to see along the drive. I absolutely have and will continue to recommend Nordic Vistior! I can't wait to book my next adventure with them! 

I would highly recommend Nordic visitor to my friends and family, everything ran so smoothly, everything was covered and I didn't need to worry about a thing. 

We were very pleased with each detail of our travel arrangements. The hotels were perfectly suited to our desires and needs. The rental car was exactly what we needed to explore the island. The pick-ups for airport transfer and rental car were friendly and punctual.  We soon learned that we could depend on Nordic Visitor and the arrangements they had made for our 8 days in Iceland.

Thank you for your excellent service.

We had a great experience and would recommend Nordic Visitor to friends and family. 

All of our services were excellent.

Thank for all your help, much appreciated as it felt like a more personal touch to the holiday

Our vacation exceeded our expectations, I have recommended Nordic visitor to many friends already who would like to travel to Iceland, we did not have any worries even though the East received a lot of rain during our visit we were able to continue on our journey with the assistance of our travel consultant.  

Nothing but excellent and perfectly arranged

Seldom do you find something where you feel that you received more value for your hard earned money  than what you spent. Nordic Visitor delivered a near perfect experience at what we consider to be a most reasonable cost. Extensive travel plans including a larger, weather proof map of Scotland, were waiting for us in our hotel along with a personal note from Maria along with her phone number. Communications was excellent throughout our experience. Maria was extremely patient and provided us some very specific options. We own sheep dogs and wanted to see a sheep dog demonstration. No problem! Within 20 minutes, we had the information and directions to a working sheep farm. Perfect.

I was very pleased with the entire experience put together by Nordic Visitor.  All communications were prompt, the information in the packages was very detailed, the tour, accommodations, transfers, and recommended sites and restaurants were all excellent.  We had no concerns during the entire trip and all the transfer shuttles arrived on time.  Great experience!

Our tour exceeded our expectations. We would consider another tour with Nordic visitor, in the future.

We loved our self guided tour. It was an adventure everyday. We expected Iceland to be amazing and Nordic Visitor and Lárus made it much better than that. Thanks 

The service was fantastic. We felt we were very well taken care of. Had a really great time. Thanks!

You were lifesavers when I was traveling to a new country and didn't know what to expect.  You made it easy so I could relax and have fun.  Dagny was helpful, the tour was great, and I knew I could call you if I had any problems. We wouldn't have seen nearly as much without Dagney's recommendations.

This was the first tour that we have ever booked. Normally when we travel, we research and do all our planning ourselves. This trip was a delightful exception. It was very well organized by Nordic Visitor. I felt so much more comfortable with having so much planned by the experts ahead of time. The knowledge about Iceland from the people who live there is priceless. The maps, the phone and the GPS, were a significant help. We would never have been able to have experienced all that we did in such mental and physical comfort without the aid of Nordic Visitor. Our accommodations were lovely, as well as the restaurants recommended. We most definitely will recommend you to our friends, as well as travel with you ourselves on our next Nordic adventure.

This is the first time I have used a travel agent for arranging my travel and tour, it is an experience I have thoroughly appreciated and feel everything had been considered and included. I will definitely use an agent for a trip like this again.

Overall, the trip was just amazing. everything flowed absolutely seamlessly, from working with kristin prior to the trip to the final airport transfer. this allowed us to really enjoy everything that iceland had to offer, rather than worrying about small details. i have, and will continue, to recommend nordic visitor to everyone i talk to.

Everything was a "10" for us. Nordic Visitor was even better than we anticipated. Thank you. It is refreshing to work with a company that puts its customers first and goes out of their way to make sure their experience is all positive.

This was the first time we have used a tour company and our experience was absolutely amazing. We had an itinerary loaded with hotel changes and activities and Silja somehow arranged everything perfectly. She even recommended a great restaurant for our wedding anniversary, which we were fortunate to celebrate in Iceland. I cannot recommend Nordic Traveler enough. Absolutely top notch. Thank you for an amazing experience. 

We couldn't have asked for a better organized self drive tour. Fully detailed, easily understood, and very clearly written. It left us feeling confident and happy to be able to relax knowing it was so well organized. Loved every minute of our time in Scotland.

We found the tour expensive but we felt it was really worth it! We felt totally pampered and happy that we didn't have to think about anything but getting in the car and seeing the country. We had 12-hour days most days and still didn't manage to see everything that was suggested, so another visit is already on the list.  Arnar was great in giving tips and patient with all our questions beforehand. Many thanks to Arnar and the rest of the staff for an exceptional experience! 

Nordic visitor did an outstanding job of organization our trip. alda, who was substituting for helga, was very helpful especially when we wanted to make changes to our itinerary

We enjoyed our experience with Nordic Visitor & have already recommended your services to our friends. 

Booking our honeymoon through Nordic Visitor was an excellent experience which led to the best trip my husband and I have ever taken. The staff were professional, the scenery was beautiful, and the tours were amazing. We were continually surprised with how smoothly the trip went and were always prepared with enough information to feel confident about our ability to travel within Iceland. I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Nordic Visitor. Not only will my husband and I be returning customers, but I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to several people and we have only been home for about a week. We cannot wait to travel with them again. 

We would do this again in a heartbeat! Thank you! 

You made it possible for us to see a great deal of Iceland in a short stay. 

I already recommend Nordic Visitor to a few of my friend, they plan to travel at Nordic area. Norway is a beautiful place for self drive trip.We are look forward to make few other trip to north side of Norway and Iceland.

We couldn't have asked more a better experience. The information provided was most helpful and our vacation was the best one we've ever had. I know your company only works in the nordic countries, but we hope you know of similar companies in other areas of Europe you could recommend to us. We loved the flexibility allowed us while you arranged the lodging and transportation. It was truly our best vacation EVER! Thank you.

Amazing job! I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to several friends. Everything worked perfectly, from trains to boats to accommodations. It was a perfect way to travel and see the country, and Bjarni was prompt and helpful throughout all communications. 

This was a wonderful experience and we have only only good things to say about our tour. Thank you!

It was a wonderful experience, can't really say enough. Everything was much better than I had expected.

Every aspect of the trip worked out very smoothly. This was my first visit to Norway and I relied entirely on Nordic Visitor to help me figure out an itinerary and to book transport and hotels.  I was very pleased with every aspect of the trip and I would be happy to use Nordic Visitor again!

I thoroughly enjoyed basically just showing up in Iceland and everything was ready for me. Such a relief to not have to find my own accommodations without knowing much about the country.  

My Family and I were very Happy with your services and experience in Iceland!

The extensive information you have on your website was very helpful in deciding how we wanted to approach our vacation and which tour to select. The materials provided and the telephone assistance were both invaluable during our visit. I'm confident our adventure would not have been nearly the success it was without your assistance. Everything went very smoothly and we highly recommend to friends and family that you are the place to go for their Nordic travel. Thank you so much!

I have already been telling everyone what a great experience we had and sending people your way. We couldn't have had one of our best and most memorable holidays without you. It was just stressfree and fabulous. We are United Staters, we have been all over country including to Alaska back country twice and we have been to Ireland, England, Wales, Italy , France and Greece. I have enjoyed any of them as much as enjoyed Iceland.

Love you guys! You made Iceland unforgettable and now the other Nordic countries. Thank you all! :)

From first visit to website through planning, the experience and results were world class.

I have to say I am impressed with the care and attention I received from the company before and during my visit. I want to mention two examples in particular. On the first day of my arrival in Reykjavik I forgot my credit card at the local post office and had to pick it up at the opening. For this I needed to postpone scheduled hotel pick-up by the car rental company. While my agent Kristin was on vacation, another employee (I don't have the name now) received my email, called me and helped to reschedule the pick up - all outside normal business hours. In another case, I tried to reschedule my bird watching tour, and while I succeeded on my own, just as I was pulling into the parking lot for this tour, another employee Katrin called me to make sure I am all setup. Turns out she rescheduled this for me too. Katrin also reassured me they are monitoring developing situation with potential flooding of the major highway leading to our next destination. She told me they are staying on top of this and will inform all affected travelers if needed. This meant a greta deal for me and I could just relax and go back to enjoying my vacation, which by the way was one of the best in my life.

We loved Iceland! This was a perfect adventure to be going on with our adult children.  We saw amazing sites, we enjoyed how active we were and it was fun to drive each day and stay in a different hotel each night.  10 days allowed for a perfect pace. Thanks for all your help in putting together one of the best trips we've had!

This was an amazing tour for us to take as a family holiday (with teenagers) giving us a little insight into each country. Clearly planned to make the most of each city.  

We loved everything! Very good quality.

Great tour! The accommodations were really nice.

I was very pleased with everything!

The service provided by Nordic Visitor was excellent and we had one of the best and most enjoyable holidays we have ever had. It was a pity that the offices have moved out of the centre of Reykjavik as we would have liked to have visited to thank Klara in person.

I am definitely letting my friends know how wonderful your company is and how it makes your stay in Iceland that much more enjoyable!

This tour is a perfect tour for a 'taste' of Iceland.  But it leaves us hungry for more.

Nordic Visitor made visiting Iceland very easy. Since some locations were in unpopulated areas we would have found it hard to choose where to stay. NV made the whole trip very stress-free!

They were very willing to accommodate special requests and kept us informed of all of our travel details

The tour was very well organised and everything went very smoothly. The hire car was excellent (essentially brand new). All of the services provided were of a good standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our Scottish holiday, and many thanks to Christoph for his assistance.

I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to all my friends, family and colleagues! Þór went out of his way to answer all my questions, (silly and serious), with a timely response! Our flight departure was delayed an entire day and we were concerned about losing out on our first day activity, airport transportation and accommodation. Þór responded over night US time to my request and coordinated so we could arrive and jump right into our Day 2 on the itinerary. He went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of, especially after the stress of being a day behind on our ring road trip. I would highly recommend him, thank you for all your support! You made our trip and scheduling as effortless as possible. 

I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone traveling - they were professional, and so very very helpful. I had a lot of last minute requests that Kristin was able to take care of seamlessly. As a solo female traveler Nordic Visitor gave me peace of mind while traveling in a new place - I don't know if I could have done this trip without them. 

I couldn't be more pleased with Nordic Visitor!  On both my tours with you Iceland and Norway the service was absolutely perfect!  I have been travelling for 31 yrs and I have to say the service provided by Nordic Visitor (through Sindre) was exemplary!!  And they went beyond perfect in Norway when I came down with pneumonia!  I have never had such good service from a tour company before ever!  If not for the fact that I have been to all the other destinations on their list I would have no hesitation in booking with them again!

Your company is terrific.  Everything was thought of and documentation was great. We loved Iceland

I've already recommended Nordic Visitor to two friends. My husband and I will be using Nordic Visitor when we return to Iceland in the future!

I was just so impressed with everything.  From the minute I made my first enquiry, till the point I was dropped off at the airport on my return, I felt that I was important to Nordic Visitor and nothing was too much trouble. Can I pay particular tribute to Karolina our tour guide. She is an absolute credit to your company. She really went out of her way to ensure we all had a wonderful holiday. She was professional, diligent, so hardworking and we all fell in love with her.  

Fantastic experience for a family of 4 - the girls enjoyed it very much.  The weather was great and we saw so many amazing things including the Northern lights :) We all loved it - thanks for arranging! 

Even though all bookings were done by internet the process seemed very personal and I had every confidence that arrangements would be carried out without any hassles.

Our experience with Nordic Visitor is absolutely delightful! We are very impressed by the professionalism of the staff and the seamless organisation of the tour. Our holiday was enjoyable beyond our expectations! 

One of the best short get-aways I have ever done. The arrangements by the "Nordic Visitor" Team was superb.  Good hotels, reasonable distances to travel each day, leaving enough time to explore even with the limited daylight in late December.

Impressive...was a bit hesitant at first not knowing our company but I do not hesitate to tell others now to go through your agency to travel your amazing country...I would love to use you again to go to other Scandinavian countries....

We both put this down as our best holiday ever. we loved it. The itinerary was superb and the map with marked places together with the vouchers and printed material invaluable.. we had many highlights - and loved the places we stayed - particularly Hofsstadir, Vogar farm and Sel. The marked route was great and we did follow the advice given (mostly!) with some forays to explore once we were comfortable with the setup. The food was excellent everywhere. We did the history students walking tour on the day we left which was excellent and we would recommend as a good way to learn about iceland and the city.

My sincerest thanks to Nordic visitor for an amazing trip and showing me such a beautiful country.

The tour and our group bonding was such a delightful, memorable experience, we are still sharing pictures and memories. I hope I can participate in another tour in the future, perhaps in another country Nordic Visitor has tours.

We recently visited Scotland using Nordic Visitor’s Classic Scotland drive yourself tour, and I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed it. All of the hotels were wonderful, and the staff was so nice. Everything was in order, and there were no glitches with any of our reservations. We especially loved the travel guide — the itineraries were well laid out and we made good use of the suggested highlights and optional activities. We will definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to any friends who may be considering this type of trip.

All the guesthouses we stayed in were very very comfortable. Much better than we had expected and the owners were all lovely. We always had a good home cooked breakfast and sometimes a dinner was provided at a cost of course. We were so glad we had chosen the "budget" accommodation to experience being in someone's home and meeting others staying there. Would highly recommend this type of accommodation. Found driving around Iceland quite easy. It is the only way to do it rather than be with a tour bus. The GPS helped a lot as did the general maps. The main map was excellent where our route was plotted out for us. Just loved the whole experience. Each day seemed to be better than the previous such a beautiful country of contrasts. Put plenty of photos on Facebook and so many of our friends did not realise how amazing and picturesque Iceland is.

Thank you for being there through all of our questions in preparation for our trip and for organizing such lovely documentation providing us with plenty of options to do on our tour around Scotland.

Just wanted to say we had a really lovely time on our 'grand tour' of the Highlands and Islands. We hadn't realised how many mountains Scotland had! And how beautiful the scenery. All our accommodation was great. Thanks for organising it.

I booked this trip within 3 weeks of our arrival during the height of the summer season in Iceland. Since it was a self-driving tour, I was not sure if it would be worth it given the price. It was! I did not have time to research nor to book hotels, nor did I know what was realistic as I had been able to research options. With it all arranged by Margret Wendt, the stops highlighted and the book, it made it very easy to see many sights in a day and piece of mind to know we had a place to stay. From our first encounter with Margret, she captured all the details and requirements for us, which she summarized back in an email, then crafted a great tour on short notice. We were able to spend our time touring and experiencing everything (12-14 hours each day) rather than on the internet researching and stress of trying to find accommodations. So much to see ,so be sure to plan a lot of days if you are active and want to include additional activities (i.e. tours, horseback riding, hikes). When we needed assistance, change of plans or had questions, the Nordic team was responsive and helpful any time and any day. Very easy to find contact info. and they were quick to respond.

Tour director Brian was amazing! He made the trip fun & educational. 

Brian provided us daily bonus stops in addition to the planned itinerary. I loved that we didn't hit all the usual crowded tourists stops! 

The tour guide was excellent and accommodating. Everything was taken care of which made the trip stress-free. All of the tour info that was provided to us by the shuttle was extremely helpful to know what to do and where to go. We plan on booking other trips through Nordic visitor. Also, the support was very quick via email to help with all the questions I had.

Hi Maria,

We're just on the train back from Edinburgh, and wanted to say a big thank you for all your help organising our trip!

We had an amazing time travelling round Scotland, and all the organization couldn't have been better. Everything went so smoothly - all the information you provided was so detailed and really helped us make the most of our trip. And all the accommodation was just amazing!!

We've had such a great time, thank you again for all your help! I will definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends!

Best wishes,

Mollie

Our tour guide, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable and interesting, very personable and went out of his way to meet people's interests! He was a great ambassador for Iceland and Icelanders :) He seemed to know every nook and byway of the country, and knew someone in every one.

All accommodations were comfortable clean with good bathroom facilities. All breakfasts were generous, did not miss the all English. Out of town locations were excellent. We received a pleasant reception at the airport and informative conversation whilst travelling to first hotel. We found it embarrassingly easy to communicate in hotels, shops and garages without a single word of the native tongue. The scenery of mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, virtual deserts and lupins was stunning and ever changing. Road

Oh my gosh! We had the BEST time, and Maria did an all around FABULOUS job!  All the hotels were very nice, clean, comfortable and had lovely views!..I appreciated that all hotels had a tea kettle in the room to make hot water, and nice hair dryers.

We really enjoyed the book that you put together for our trip with suggested sites. It was very helpful. If it only came with a time management button it would be incredible, haha! We totally missed the sights in Inverness because we spent too much time at a castle and then things were closed. Maybe including hours of sites would be helpful. We did get better as we went!

The North Link ferry was so fun. This was a wonderful experience, with a restaurant, observation decks, a store, comfy chairs....Etc. Going to Orkney Island was so worth it; actually one of our favorite places, along with the Highlands, Glencoe area, Edinburgh castle....maybe we have too many favorites..) 

For food, it was interesting. We found great restaurants (Rollo and the Smoo Cave Hotel restaurant come to mind as delicious!), and luckily we stopped at a grocery store several times for easy food to be able to eat whenever.

As far as driving, it was fine and nice to be on our schedule. The single track roads in the highlands worked out fine... We drove 1,235 miles, saw wonderful sites, hiked amazing places, took thousands of pics and couldn't be more thrilled with everything that Nordic Visitor planned and prepared for us! We have several people that were interested in our opinion after our trip, and we will certainly be giving Nordic Visitor a fabulous endorsement, and Maria of course! Thank you so much for an unforgettable epic trip!

We had a very nice time. Being able to travel by rail and ship rather than coach was a real plus. I (John) had been in Sweden and Denmark before, but not since 1960. Lea had never been to Scandinavia. We both wound up with Norway as our favorite country on the trip. The scenery was magnificent, especially from the windows of trains and express boat. The setting of Flam was a pleasant surprise, if not the village itself. (We support what appears to be a movement to prohibit large cruise ships from making port)

The tour was highly enjoyable. We visited some wonderful places. Whilst we like to be independent, the organisation of our transport and accommodation was very good and allowed us to really relax and unwind. There are many places we'd like to return to. More time in Norway is certainly on our agenda!

Even though we did not have the opportunity to meet with Helga in person we felt extremely well looked after by all her hard work and planning before and during the trip, and would completely recommend her and the Nordic Visitor team, you are all wonderful! We would have loved to drop by the office to tell you in person how much fun we were having but we squeezed in extra activities so didn't end up having time to do so. We had asked for a tailored trip which was a day longer than the tour on the website, and Helga organised this effortlessly. We also requested a combination of comfort and superior rooms and again she organised this with no trouble. The comfort rooms were pretty nice to stay in, occasionally having hot-tubs outside and always delicious food at their restaurants. The superior rooms we stayed at were incredibly memorable and really completed our honeymoon experience. It was fantastic to be welcomed at our first hotel by a bottle of champagne and chocolates from Helga & Nordic Visitor as it was our honeymoon, and we also appreciate that Helga informed the hotels we were staying at - we received even more sparkly wine and chocolates en route! It was the most fantastic honeymoon we could have imagined, thank you so much for organising it for us.

We travelled as a family of two adults and one child and organised our combined tours 'Tale of Four cities' Scandinavian capitals and 'Iceland Full Circle' from afar totally online. The online experience went extremely smoothly. Our consultant, Sirry, was very helpful and responsive. She communicated well and with his prior to our arrival and when we arrived at our first destination everything was well arranged and ran very smoothly - the transfers, the hotels, the ferries, the car hire. The comprehensive package of maps, brochures and information books provided was a fabulous resource. GPS was included in our hire cars and this was essential. We also had access to a mobile phone that was provided and this was very comforting in case there were any problems. We did not use it as there were no issues that needed resolution during our combined tours. As a family of three we had an absolutely fantastic time travelling through Scandinavia and Iceland. Our experience was greatly influenced by the service and organisation of Nordic Visitor. I will highly recommend your services to anyone that I know who wishes to visit the Nordic region.

The customer service was excellent. The hotels were excellent. The cruises and trains were excellent; first class. Loved that. The tour was excellent, we loved that it progressively got better each day. Meals (breakfasts at the hotel) were excellent. AMAZING JOB ARRANGING THIS TOUR! We were VERY pleased!

Overall a fantastic holiday, beautiful scenery, wonderful food and very friendly locals!

Our sincere thanks to you, Aníta and Nordic Visitor, for our amazing 16 days of Complete Iceland. We very much enjoyed having the West Fjords included with a circle tour, and suspect that it will draw new customers for you. We wish you all the best in the exploding world of Iceland tourism.  

We really enjoyed our tour, everything was super well organized, we felt we had all the information we needed. The guesthouses we stayed at were nice. Rental car was brand new. All around positive experience. Really enjoyed having our own large map of Iceland with the route drawn in. We also used the spiral bound book with Nordic Visitor recommendations a lot. 

Our overall experience with Nordic Visitor was very positive from start to finish.  We were impressed with the friendly and knowledgeable staff, the arrangements made with hotels, car hire firms and activity organisers and the wealth of additional information provided.

Nordic Visitor (Arnar) did an outstanding job preparing us for the adventure. We exchanged several emails prior to the trip and then on arrival the comprehensive welcome package was great. We particularly liked the large map with handwritten notes on things to see and pointing out our accommodations. We felt well taken care of and the personal touch made us know we were not just another customer. I would definitely recommend people go to Iceland - it's such an amazing country the beautiful scenery and the warmth and friendliness of everyone. It seems that even those fellow visitors were also a different type of people - all friendly and happy to share what they were experiencing. And when I recommend people go to Iceland I will most definitely recommend they contact Nordic Visitor. I had to plan the whole trip for my daughter and I by myself because my daughter was away at school. I was experiencing anxiety how I would even begin making reservations at hotels, rental car, etc. Then I was blessed to come upon Nordic Visitor. Arnar's personal response to my request for information told me I was in good hands. I was able to enjoy the planning process - figuring out what we wanted to see - because everything else was arranged for us. Thank you to everyone who helped us have a life changing adventure in Iceland.

We would like to thank you for your efficiency and charm, for providing sufficient assistance at the start of our holiday to enable us to enjoy it to the full and 'independently', I.e. Without further assistance during the holiday. We felt that the hospitality and leisure industries of many other countries would benefit by learning about Nordic Visitor's professionalism.

The service we received from Cicci was excellent : prompt replies to my email questions and up-to-date information about everything. She was extremely helpful, pleasant and efficient in all she did.

We typically would never book a vacation through a travel site due to thinking that we could book a better vacation for ourselves. Since this was our honeymoon, we did not want to deal with the stress of booking everything ourselves and deal with a wedding. Everything went flawlessly from the moment that we arrived to Iceland to the moment that we left. We could never have planned a trip like Nordic Visitor planned for us. I could go on and on about how amazing everything was but the bottom line is that we would definitely book with Nordic Visitor again if we had the chance.

We had excellent experiences with all of the service providers. Sara and subsequently Petra provided excellent information and advice electronically for we Australian travellers. All responses to our questions and requests were immediate and well detailed. Iceland will be next on our destination list.

Iceland is a very beautiful country and there is so much to see! We chose to travel to Iceland in November, which meant that winter weather and shortened daylight hours were major trip factors to account for during the trip planning. We usually plan vacation trips on our own, but we knew that we needed a tour company's guidance to help us make the most out of our trip. We found Nordic Visitor online and chose it after reading about the comprehensive services offered by the company. On a special note, our travel consultant, Ævar Örn Magnússon, did a wonderful job in creating a customized tour package for us. He graciously provided cost estimates for different travel package options (including modified/personalized travel packages), which made it easy for us to decide which trip package to select. We corresponded at length before the trip was booked, and he was very responsive to all of my questions. We selected the Pearls of the South and West (Winter) self-drive tour package, with two extra days. I inadvertently provided him the wrong information about our arrival date in Iceland, and he adjusted our itinerary right away. Ævar's help gave us the peace of mind while planning this trip of a lifetime. Ævar was an excellent travel consultant, and my husband and I had a great Iceland trip -- thanks to him!

We have just finished our Nordic Odyssey tour of 4 Scandinavian countries via: Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Flam and Bergen. It has been the best experience: the accommodation was brilliant and all our travel connections were made so easy by Nordic Visitor. It meant we could enjoy exploring all these wonderful cities without the hassle of having to make the bookings. What we really appreciated was that we could and did email Cecilia from Nordic Visitor many times with questions and special requests and these were sorted out promptly and in a friendly manner. Even when our initial flight was delayed we contacted Cecilia on route and she adjusted our flight pickup service. We will use Nordic Visitor again!

Nordic Visitor set up a tremendous self-drive tour for us. Arnar Thor was a pleasure to work with. Friendly, courteous and professional. Helped us change hotels mid-tour quickly and efficiently. Gave us great suggestions on what to see and do outside of the standards like Geysir and Gulfoss. I STRONGLY recommend using Nordic Visitor for your tour/visit/holiday in Iceland. You will not be disappointed.

Nordic Visitor arranged a Grand Tour of Iceland for us (a couple about 60) over 17 days in late May and early June of 2012. From the very beginning we got individual attention from a dedicated consultant based in Reykjavik (thank you, María) and a tour itinerary that took in all the places that we wished to visit, including a night on the island of Flatey (recommended).

The arrangements were flawless; we were collected from the airport, given our pack of travel vouchers, and driven to our first hotel. Then the next day we were collected again and taken to pick up our hire car, all of which went very smoothly. Nordic Visitor lent us a mobile phone, which was comforting to have but which in the event we didn't need. The car came with an excellent satellite navigation device, which we certainly did need, and used all the time!

We opted for the more expensive end of the accommodation, and were very happy with the rooms Nordic Visitor secured for us.

Iceland was wonderful; we were lucky with the weather and so had every chance to enjoy our trip. Top highlights not to be missed were the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, a glacier hike at Skaftafell, the wildlife (mostly birds, but an arctic fox too) at Mývatn, and a spectacularly good whale watch tour from Húsavík. We were unable to drive far into the highlands, though, because it was still early in the summer, and some of the roads were still closed.

Overall, we couldn't have wished for better from Nordic Visitor. They gave us a real sense of personal service, we knew that they would have done their best had there been any problems for us, but mostly because of their meticulous planning, there were none.

Very well organized trip, Bjarni is great help to get the itinerary and accommodation to my expectation, very professional, will definitely recommend to anyone who want to travel to Nordics.

We were very happy with our tour of the Golden Circle.  It was a pleasure dealing with Arnor and all the information sent previous to our departure was most helpful. We were thrilled with the Iceland Road Atlas and it is now part of our collection of travel books. The pickup driver at the airport was more than pleasant despite being kept waiting for an hour. The car rental went smoothly and the car fit our needs very well.

Everything worked without a hitch. Our travel advisor was able to accommodate a relatively late change in our tour choice and still provided a terrific selection of lodging destinations. Documents and vouchers were complete, organized, and accepted without question. The provision of a phone is a terrific standard and was used to quickly resolve the one issue we had with the car rental agency.  We would not hesitate to utilize Nordic Visitor for another holiday destination.

We enjoyed our holiday more than we can describe, and I know that the photos we posted on Facebook, and the comments we made, have directly led to others arranging holidays there...Thank you for sharing your amazing country with us. We can't wait to come back.

Totally brilliant holiday, superbly organised by Brynjar.  If we lived closer to Iceland we'd be back in a heartbeat!

In September, hiking in Ice fiord area is wonderful. The area turned from green to reddish colours within two weeks. A lot of wild berries lied along the undulating hillside. On the far hillside, we saw the first snow and winter was round the corner.

We absolutely enjoyed every aspect of our trip. We loved the fact that the itinerary was planned for us each day and we could refer to the script in the book as we'll as follow the map to each nightly destination with planned as well as unplanned stops along the way. We loved the accommodations, we thought that the were many different types which were all interesting and unique in their own ways. The food everywhere we ate was very good! We were a bit surprised about the prices of the food. It reminded us of the prices in the New York metro area where we live so it was not too much of a sticker shock for us, it may be for people visiting from more rural areas. The people were very friendly and courteous...We were truly pleased with every experience we had in Iceland.

I basically have already written above about what a wonderful experience our trip in Iceland was. I also would like to add that the "Itinerary, Highlights, and Useful Info" booklet was worth it's weight in gold. We used it as our bible! We really enjoyed learning the Icelandic language as well with the helpful guide in the book. We will tell all our friends. We will definitely plan to use Nordic traveler again some day in the future when we plan to visit some of the other countries that they service.  Phenomenal trip, the memories will last us a lifetime!!

It was lovely.  The organisation of the trip was perfect, stress free and perfectly pitched. The variety of guest houses was excellent, the tour suggestions relevant and gave us a wonderful snapshot of Iceland. I will definitely use Nordic Visitor again and I can't think of a higher recommendation.

We loved our self guided tour organised by Nordic Visitor and was a wonderful way to spend our honeymoon. The flexibility to add an extra day into our tour made a big difference to us.  We would definitely recommend any friends visiting the Nordic nations to look at using Nordic Visitor services.

Everything was absolutely amazing - we feel so fortunate to have had Solveig arrange everything so beautifully for our honeymoon. All the places we stayed were great (especially Frost and Fire in Hvergerdi, Hotel Helnar in Helnar, and Hofstaddir Guesthouse).  All aspects of the trip, from start to finish, were very smooth and we felt we were in very good hands.

Thank you for such an amazing trip! We will definitely book with you again - it was a seamless, easy, relaxing way to enjoy lovely Iceland. You made everything so smooth that we could just enjoy the trip. Thanks a million, Solveig!

I usually plan our trips but decided to use Nordic Visitor due to the great reviews on TripAdvisor. Nordic Visitor greatly exceeded all of our expectations. Would highly recommend Nordic Visitor. The information, professionalism of your staff - Erla & the others that helped to compile our trip, the layout of the package, hotels, activity guide was excellent. Could not have planned a better trip myself.

I was very impressed with the work put in to the travel maps and details of what to see, where to eat and general information of what to expect on a self-drive holiday. Having contact with Anita via emails during our holiday helped make us not feel isolated. NV obviously has put a lot of forethought into making a self-drive holiday in Iceland not feel so daunting.

This is the first time that we have used a tour company to book a trip and were nervous about the process. It work very well and we were thrilled. Having someone else do what I consider the stressful part of any trip, making hotel reservations, was so wonderful and made the whole trip more enjoyable. Thank you.

Although choosing via the internet can be suspect we found your company to be friendly, professional and efficient and we were pleased with the service which we received through your representative.

I cannot rate this tour highly enough... Nordic Visitor was recommended to me by my travel agent (a personal friend) who had received very good reports from another client. I will most certainly advise her that it more than lived up to my expectations. Please pass on my thanks to Sara. If it had been possible, I would have liked to do that myself while in Norway. Kind regards.

A very interesting and well planned tour with overnight stops on good accommodaton. The areas marked on the map by the agent indicated all the interesting places to see on our tour, all of which were within very easy reach of the main road. An odeal holiday for anyone with any mobility problems.

My husband and I had a very pleasant experience with Nordic Visitor, our enquiries were responded in a prompt manner, we were able to tailor make our own itinerary according to our need, hotels were great quality and in great locations as well. What we would recommend is to provide maps for each cities in advance so we can figure out our route to the hotels/ attractions (we could jump on google maps but we found the tourist maps we got at the tourist info centers were a lot more useful). We would also like to express our gratitude to Bjarni and Helena for their assistance while we had some little issues in Norway. Bjarni was not our travel consultant but he was extremely helpful while Helena was away and managed to organise our lugguage transfer in just a few hours time while we had no idea what we could do in Oslo. Our Norway in a Nutshell trip was cancelled due to a freight train being stuck on the track and we were able to get our refund in a very timely manner. We think the service we received from the beginning to the end of our trip was excellent, Nordic Visitor and their consultants make sure their customers get the best out of it and are being well looked after during their trip. Thank you very much.

We booked a combination trip to Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo with Nordic Visitor and we had a wonderful holiday. We cannot speak highly enough of the people we dealt with at Nordic Visitor and are now recommending them to everyone we meet. Their levels of professionalism and personal attention went way beyond our expectations and we will use them again. If going on this trip we recommend upgrading to first class rail travel and the commodore cabin on the ferry as these made the travel experience between cities very enjoyable. And if you want to experience the best smorgasbord ever then book a table at the Veranda restaurant at the Grand Hotel Stockholm, simply amazing!

We completed a 10 day trip around Iceland the first week of August 2015. We had an awesome vacation and look forward to returning. The tailer-made trip arranged by Nordic Visitor exceeded expectations. When we arrived Reykjavik we were greeted at airport with a welcoming package that included everything that we needed.

Included was a spiral binder with our itinerary as well as suggestions for additional activities along the route. Furthermore, we received a map with hand written suggestions and highlights. The map proved to be extremely useful and so did the hand written notes. In the packaged we also our phone for the week and vouchers. Make sure you review the vouchers and that they are for exactly what you paid for. We had one minor glitch that untimatly ended up working out in our favor.

The GPS which came with our car made navigating Iceland a breeze. We partially like the freedom of being able to stop when ever we saw something that interested us.

Nordic Visitors website makes planning a trip to Iceland very easy. All the optional tours we picked where of high quality. We partially liked white water rafting and glacier lagoon. We are strongly considering planning another trip with them.

Helpful hints

Credit cards are used everywhere but you must have one with a chip and pin

Make sure you never run low on gas, some filling stations on ring road few and far between

Everything in Iceland is up hill so bring good hiking shoes

Bring layers weather can change a a moments notice

Bring high quality rain gear

Food is expensive so consider picnic lunches

A friend and I (who live in Australia and UK respectively) were keen to do a self drive tour of Iceland as we could have autonomy and flexibility and avoid the tour bus hordes. We found Nordic Visitor through Google and I'm so glad we did. From start to finish our consultant Hafdís was a gem - informative, efficient, quick to respond, helpful and nothing was too much trouble at all. We chose the 10 day Full Circle tour - which comes with a rental car, pre booked accommodation, detailed road map, local mobile phone, GPS and many suggestions for destinations and activities. We opted for a 4x4 vehicle (highly recommended as there is a fair amount of off-roading) and budget accommodation which was pretty much guesthouses. Standard was really great for this level of accommodation, especially in the more remote areas, but be prepared to share a bathroom and encounter noisy and/or quirky fellow travellers! That's part of the deal anywhere really.

There is so much to say about the trip itself so feel free to send a message if you want more info! Nearly all the arrangements went without a hitch and what didn't go smoothly wasn't due to Nordic Visitor getting it wrong and indeed didn't ruin the trip at all (eg the guesthouse in Reykjavik wasn't aware of my travelling companion's very early arrival and were not prepared). My only negative comment is some of the worthwhile sights might not be on their recommended itinerary so do a little research of your own. Also a bit more time (a day perhaps) in the north east of the country would have been ideal.

I dropped by their office in Reykjavik at the end of the tour (a little tricky to find as it is tucked away on the edge of town) and was pleasantly surprised by a request to do a brief video of our tour highlights for other travellers. I received a beautiful hardcover book of Icelandic photographs for my trouble. Iceland is a

Thanks to Nordic Visitor, Iceland was a wonderful place for a 5 day break....should have stayed a bit longer.

Lucky Icelanders to have such a beautiful and otherworldly country.

Nordic visitor provided an absolutely outstanding service, with agreed content, care hire, transfers, hotels, road maps marked up with great places to stop and even a mobile phone in case of problems.

I really can't praise them enough. 

Have no doubt, this company really do offer top notch service for a good price.

The only hotel that we were disappointed with was in Bergen but we only had to mention it to our travel advisor Kolbrun and she immediately addressed the concern and issued us a credit. Great customer service!!

We also left a pair of glasses at our hotel in Flam. The hotel staff must have contacted Kolbrun to let her know and she had the glasses returned to us, again great customer service.  We have never had hotel staff find and return lost items before and we really felt Kolbrun was watching over us and had our back. Thanks, Kolbrun.

Great service overall.  The itinerary was exactly as described, all buses,trains and hotels were scheduled perfectly.  The phone was a great touch and very much appreciated.

Cicci, was wonderful from the beginning, she was very patient  with us while we made arrangements for our specialized tour. I felt taken care of at every stop. I know how much work it is to make arrangements so I really appreciated all her work. Thank you Cicci for a trip of a lifetime!

...Great service for a first time visitor to Nordic countries. I myself will have more of an idea how to customize future follow-up visits. Very friendly and accommodating service from Sofia.

Sofia was very helpful. Booking with her/ Nordic Visitor has eased my stress level in booking hotels and arranging transportations and transfers. All the hotels were close to the central train stations. I will definitely book with Nordic Visitor again next we visit the Scandinavia.

Sofia was very kind and patient about my MANY questions to her via e-mail. She was thorough with her answers, and had me well prepared for this trip of a lifetime!

Hafdis was very professional and helpful throughout the process. I am grateful to her and everyone else at Nordic Visitor for putting together this experience for my son and me.

Nordic Visitor was extremely professional and thorough in preparing us for our 14-day, self guided tour. They were very accommodating and responsive to our pre trip questions. We couldn't have been more pleased with their excellent, expert services! I highly endorse and recommend Nordic Visitor.

The tour and accommodations were very good from start to finish. We were met with a very friendly driver to the hotel on the first day and we were checked in early for our hotel without any issues. Although all three of us were very tired, we went around Rekjavik the day we got there and everything was within walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the city, felt safe and enjoyed shops. Our first day on the road was also very pleasant, the rental car had ample room and we were out of Rekjavik in 30 minutes driving the Icelandic countryside. The prepared intinerary and locations suggested to visit were also very good, although we took upon ourselves to visit many many places in between to ensure we made the most of our time. The rest of the 6 days we traveled were met with many awe inspiring scenery and none of could believe how gorgeous Iceland really was.  On the way back to the Rekjavik, we were met with a friendly hotel staff and helped us get our rental car back to the rental company without any issues. Even the taxi driver was very friendly and conversational.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, everywhere, were simply delightful. All were helpful, competent and professional.

I was traveling with my wife and four friends. All were delighted with the experience

The map provided by Nordic Visitor was a fantastic resource! Our route was highlighted in green and each hotel/guesthouse was marked in pink, so we could see at a glance where we were each day and where we needed to be each night. Then, our booked excursions and points of interest along the way were marked in orange, with written details added at the side. This made it easy for use to reach our excursions at the right times and directed us to great places for homemade ice-cream, lobster dinner, and scenic delights.  I can't say enough good things about our experience with Nordic Visitor! They thought of everything beforehand--as a result, I had a stress-free, fun-filled vacation with no negative surprises!

It was the perfect blend of independence, comforts through great accommodations in easy locations, and the help of getting to and from the airport was super. Just enough to take away the hassles and give me time to enjoy the location and adventure. Would not change a single thing! Thanks Solveig!

Our guide Christina was very knowledgable of culture and history. Lots of old sagas. Great driver. And we had non stop destinations of wonder

Overall we had a fantastic holiday, helped a great deal by the good weather!  We had planned for a lot of rain, but we just followed the sunshine around the country. Moving on every day or two was quite hard work but because of doing that we saw a lot of the country - which we loved. Everyone we met was so friendly and enthusiastic, keen to talk to us and to tell us about themselves. The fact that everyone spoke perfect English took a lot of the stress out of a foreign holiday and we would both love to be back there right now! The quality of the sunshine and the air was quite exceptional, the long sunny evenings were a bonus and the lack of crowds made such a pleasant change from England. The organisation of the holiday worked well, with trains, boats, planes and hotels all linking up well. In most cases we managed to walk from our hotels to railway stations.

Customer service was exceptional right from the beginning.  All travel details were clearly detailed in materials sent before trip, as well as, received upon arrival.  All drivers, hotel employees, and tour guides (kayak tour) were very friendly and helpful.  It was a wonderful experience and we would love to book a longer trip around Iceland someday with Nordic Visitor.

The trip was great and the island beautiful. It was one of the truly memorable family holidays! We loved traveling Highway One on the island's east side!

The services provided by Sjofn exceeded our expectations in all respects! The organization and travel materials provided were excellent and easy to follow. We would not hesitate to recommend Nordic Visitor! We cannot wait to visit Iceland again!

We thought that Larus did an excellent job in planning the tour and our hotel stops based on our interests, which were largely to take advantage of seeing the beautiful scenery and to hike.

We've travelled extensively in Europe, North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand.  Our trip to Iceland was one of the best organized and most enjoyable. Nordic anticipated almost all of our questions with their extensive information package. And for those that they didn't anticipate, Larus answered them promptly. We so much enjoyed our trip to Iceland that we're looking forward to a return visit in a future summer and will definitely used Nordic Visitor again.

Everything about this tour was perfect. It would not be an overstatement to say it was one of the top travel experiences of my life. Arnar really thought through all of the details, and produced a tour that probably could never be topped. All of the hotels and other travel plans were first rate. I would love to do something like this again.

Thank you!  You will hear from me someday in the future for more travel.

We booked a last minute honeymoon trip with Nordic Visitor and found the service outstanding.  There was only two weeks from the date of booking to our arrival date.  Even though she had very little time to coordinate the trip, Sjofn did a wonderful job planning the trip.  She made excellent recommendations and went out of her way to make us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the process.  She helped us re-coordinate one of our activities when one of us was not feeling well and was very responsive whenever we had questions throughout the trip. Furthermore, all the accommodations were lovely and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed all the recommended activities and the stress-free aspect of the self guided driving tour. We really had no idea what to expect with Iceland but were overwhelmed with the beauty of the country.  Whether we were doing an activity or just driving, there was so much beautiful scenery to take in. Overall, we are certainly impressed with the quality of service that we received throughout the process and are planning on making a return visit in the winter months.  Thank you!

You provide a good service to people like us who come from so far away and don't know how to get accommodation etc., and so we depend on your advice. We decided to go to Greenland because we saw a blog on your website written by Alexandra who had been there herself. We wanted to do what she had done. Alexandra had booked and organised a self drive holiday around Iceland for us in 2011 

Hotels were all in really good, central positions, close to transport links and city centres. This did mean one of the rooms was noisy (Copenhagen Scandic Palace) on our last night, as it overlooked a side street with busy restaurants; if we had been staying longer we would have asked to move rooms. Overall, this didn't detract from our enjoyment,  though.

The standard of transport was excellent, from the limousines that collected us from the airport, to the cabin on the ferry from Denmark to Norway, to the trains. The rail journey form Stockholm was particularly lovely - comfortable, fast and quiet trains, gorgeous scenery, and we crossed The Bridge, too. The time spent in each city was just long enough to absorb the essential elements that made each one special, and it was really interesting to be able to compare their similarities and differences. The holiday felt much longer than nine days.

We were very satisfied with our tour (8 days around Iceland). The group was a good size (16). We drove around in a small van/bus. Our tour guide, Alfred, was great and very knowledgeable. All of the restaurants and hotels were acceptable. We got to see all of the major highlights and a few hidden things we wouldn't have found on our own. It was nice to have someone else drive and take care of logistics.

We have just returned from a week's self touring holiday of Reykjavik and Southern Iceland, arranged through Nordic Visitor. From the moment I first contacted the company I knew I had chosen wisely. Their agent, Helga, was efficient, courteous, prompt with responses and very patient as we tweaked our trip. Her suggestions gave us a custom-made itinerary which took us to the best that Southern Iceland had to offer. After 2 nights in Reykjavik, we stayed at different hotels every night and they were all great. Granted a few didn't look much from the outside, but inside they were brilliant and we had the best rooms they had to offer. Our mid-way stop was at the Fosshotel Vatnajokull, near Hofn, and the view from the window was of three glaciers - awesome. If you are thinking of a holiday in Iceland then use Nordic Visitor and always ask for Helga - she was brilliant.

We've recently returned from holiday in Iceland. I booked us on the Iceland Full Circle self guided tour through Nordic Visitor. Hilmar was absolutely fantastic to deal with. He was very patient with me as I tried to work through dates and added excursions and always provided quick, informative responses. 

The package we received upon arrival was well put together and allowed us to navigate around the country with confidence. Everything had been considered and taken care of. The accommodations were fantastic. 

We had a self-created situation when we arrived at the airport. Hilmar rang the hotel later in the day to make certain we were settled in with no more issues. He also called in advance when a glacier tour was cancelled due to a storm.

Iceland can be a little intimidating. Nordic Visitor's preparations and assistance made it even more wonderful than we hoped and imagined it could be. I not only highly recommend this company, I have already referred friends to them and will be using them again when we return to Iceland in the hopefully not too distant future.

We have just returned from a 9 day bus trip arranged by Nordic Visitor. As we arrived, there was a potential strike in the offing. We called at the office and they could not have done more for us in helping to rearrange our trip. Never, in all my dealings have we had such wonderful service. Kristen, our driver/guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and indeed, an excellent communicator who was very proud of her country. The accommodation was good and the dinners that were arranged of a very high standard. I have never before recommended a company so highly.

All of the hotels were well located and clean -having GPS in the car rental was well worth it and made getting into the cities so much easier -being picked up upon arrival at the airport is a great service after having spent so many hours in transit.

All of the hotel check ins went smoothly - the planning of our route to travel was well done.

Overall a great holiday experience, we were very pleased that after e-mail discussion with our consultant we changed our preferred vehicle to larger AWD type, in particular when travelling through the ice and snow...We appreciated very much the map with hand written suggestions and all accommodation marked. The written itinerary was an excellent guide. Combined with the GPS supplied meant we did not get lost.

We thought the tour was very professionally organised and we had no problems whatsoever and would certainly recommend Nordic Visitor.  However personally we like to travel a little slower and would have liked at least one more 2 night stay in a hotel, as we felt some days seemed too long by the time we got to our accommodation.  We didn't enjoy the Western Fjords as much as the rest of the country and if would recommend others to spend a similar number of days in Iceland but without visiting the Fjords.  The last day we felt was a bit of a rush to get the car back in time as we had an early flight the next day.  Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

The service we received at all our locations was excellent and the free upgrades were much appreciated and very unexpected.

Thank you for a wonderful trip it really made our anniversary something to remember

We absolutely loved the tour of Iceland. It was awesome to have everything booked and set up for us in advance, but doing the self-drive tour gave us a lot of flexibility about what we wanted to do from day to day. It also let us really see the country and experience parts of it that probably aren't normally seen by tourists. Booking through Nordic Visitor made everything easy and let us just truly enjoy the experience.

It has been a truly memorable visit and journey and I had always wanted to see Iceland. The trip was even more fantastic than I had imagined. I now have plenty of memories, photos and drawings to feed my work as an artist.

Great trip, enjoyed the freedom of not having to worry about tour guides and groups while on the holiday, but having the luxury of someone with local knowledge make all the bookings and design the itinerary.

The annotated map was great, the phone a life-saver. You have fantastic customer service. Erla S. and Erla G. were both fantastic in providing advice and making arrangements.

We would like to thank Erna for being responsive, informative and very helpful from the time of our first enquiry about the tour, through all our time in Iceland, especially the efficient way she dealt with having to change our itinerary when we were delayed by weather.  We were sorry not to be able to meet her to thank her personally because we arrived on a the day you were celebrating the first day of summer and left very early on the day of departure.  The tour lived up to all our expectations and the advice provided was excellent. 

I wanted to go to Iceland and was going by myself. Figured I'd book a tour, seemed easiest. Found Nordic Visitor and thought, "looks good." Booked the winter highlights tour. It was awesome. Nordic Visitor did everything. Booked my airport transfers, booked my hotels, provided tour guide, everything. I literally just had to show up. The tour group was nice and small, perfect. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and would provide lots of little tidbits of info. She even added on extra stops b/c we had extra time or she thought would be of interest for us.

Part of the tour was to try and see the Northern Lights. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating the days we were on the tour. Well, on the last day, it was finally clear, so the tour guide called the office and got us all booked on a Northern Lights tour for that night. We saw the most amazing Northern Lights! And it was all because the tour guide went the extra mile and got us on the tour. 

I can not praise this tour company enough. Highly highly recommend having them plan your tour.

Thank you so much for being there and helping people to discover those incredible places around the Scandinavia. I've met so many great people and had such a splendid time, that I will never forget. My main purpose was to see the Northen Lights, but I've got so much more and everything was just beyond my expectations!  I would like to thank our Nordic Visitor agent Jennie Elofsson for a great assistance, she's been very helpful and super quick giving us all the answers we need.  Also I would like to thank our amazing guides, who made our tour so very special and intimate: Emil and Jenny.

Bjarni was very clear and prompt in answering questions.  Very helpful.

All guesthouses were very nice and friendly. They give us the possibillity to get in contact with islandic people which were very friendly and all spoke very good english.

Perfectly prepared tour with individual extension. The tour and preperation exceeds our expectation. For example the tour package included sun glasses for the solar eclipse which happened during our tour.  Thanks for the wonderful experience Iceland. We will come back for sure.

We had a wonderful time in Iceland. Our trip gave us plenty to do while still leaving us time to relax and explore the city at our own pace. It was so nice to not have to worry about planning every day-- we just showed up where we were supposed to be at the time we were given and everything else was taken care of. All of our tours and excursions were so much fun! We had great service everywhere we went. Iceland is a beautiful country and everyone that we met was so friendly and helpful. People were constantly going out of their way to help us. We loved every minute of our trip and we were so sad to leave. I would also like to thank Gudrun for the fabulous job she did planning our tour. My husband and I are very careful travelers so we were constantly emailing her with questions and requests. She handled them all beautifully and was always prompt to return an answer! We had one small hiccup with our driver during the big storm and she called me to tell me she had already arranged for someone else to drive us. She even helped us plan our wedding which would not have happened without her! She coordinated the florist, the hairstylist and even the pastor. Everybody that she chose did a remarkable job. We could not have gotten married without Gudrun!  Thank you for the wonderful experience. I will share our trip with everyone and encourage them to use your company to book their travel. When we travel to the North again we will definitely use Nordic Visitor!

Fantastic tour would recommend to anyone. Great communication from the time I enquired to arriving at the airport and our guide Trausti was amazing really made it an enjoyable and memorable trip I will never forget.

I was very impressed with the commitment and professionalism of Gudrun and Hinrik - they did everything they could to ensure we had an amazing trip; this was inspite of severe weather conditions. We still did it all!  The quality of the tour guide, Hinrik, added an additional magic to the stunning landscape of Iceland. Playful and intriguing story telling, deep historical and geological knowledge and lots of fun. It created a wonderful dynamic for the group and inspired everyone to not just look but to also engage with Iceland.  It was a bonus that we also saw the Aurora. Currently, people are talking about a one way ticket to Mars - I 'd say try Iceland first.

We truly appreciated the quick change of plans Nordic Visitor provided due to the weather on one of the days in the countryside.

Again, we had a wonderful time and Nordic Visitor proved to be incredibly helpful.

The tour was very well organised. We didn't have any problems with any aspect of the booking of the trip. Contact from Nordic Visitor employees was polite, helpful and responses were sent quickly. We'll definitely return to Iceland and would use Nordic Visitor again.

Really excellent holiday, thank you. We only booked a few days in advance and received excellent speedy service.

Genuinely - one of the best trips we have ever undertaken. We received a great welcome in Kiruna, our guides were excellent - and made every experience unforgettable! The Aurora... was glorious!

My wife and I tend to be pretty independent when it comes to travel but for our honeymoon (Iceland, December-January 2014-2015) we decided a little help would be a nice change of pace. I'm really glad we wend with Nordic Visitor. Not only was our representative helpful and knowledgeable in the planning, he saved us a considerable amount of money on hotel and rental car rates. Having a phone (included with rental car packages) and a local advocate was especially handy when our car broke down 10 miles from the nearest town and more than an hour from Reykjavik. Overall, we love our trip and really appreciated working with Nordic Visitor.

The whole experience in and around TROMSO was wonderful. In particular, I appreciated that Sara Oskar Kristjansdottir maintained communication before and throughout the tour. She was responsive and helpful. For example, when I advised that I was unable to attend one of the activities as I was unwell, Sara arranged a refund for me.

Great service, great value. Sigfus was really helpful. I would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to friends. Thanks so much for a wonderful trip!

My wife and I wanted to sample two contrasting lifestyles of Scandinavia - the more rustic one of the Arctic circle and the urban quality of the cities. As nothing seemed to fully satisfy my needs I decided to contact Nordic Visitor and asked for advice. It turned out to be a great decision - their impressively broad offer was explained to me in exhaustive detail by a Nordic Visitor Travel Consultant who was also able to make suggestions when I requested for it. My final choice was a combination of two existing tours with certain modifications to suit all my needs. The care of all the details (including upgrades of the transport classes I decided to request for later) was taken by the Nordic Visitor Travel Consultant who did a fantastic job - everything was done promptly and worked impeccably throughout the entire tour. Nordic Visitor is highly recommended if you want to have a stress-free experience in booking your holiday and afterwards focusing on nothing more but on the enjoyment it brings.

We used Nordic Visitor to book our Iceland new year trip fairly last minute. Can't fault them - we had a fantastic experience and the whole process was so straightforward and felt effortless. Before travelling we were in regular contact with our agent (Hafdis) who was quick to respond on working days and answered all our questions. We were free to book extra activities as and when we found them (which we did a few times!) rather than booking them all ahead of time. They were easy to contact whilst in Iceland as they gave us a local mobile phone with credit. We got upgraded rooms in half the (fantastic) hotels we stayed in and our car was upgraded too. Thanks for your help - our trip was great!

Alexandra was really helpful when our flight was delayed and we were messed around by the airline. Even though our flight did not arrive till gone midnight (9 hours late!) we were still collected by the driver while others were left stranded at the airport - very impressive. The maps and books provided were excellent and allowed us to plan our time and get the most out of the holiday. Overall the accommodation was excellent and experience was amazing.

We had a wonderful holiday in Iceland thanks to Nordic Visitor. What an amazing country. I have eaten Puffin, Horse and Reindeer which I hadn't done in the past. We saw the Northern Lights, geysers, glaciers, and waterfalls. Thank You.

We have just completed the Express Iceland Tour offered by Nordic Visitor, extended by two days. After the apprehension of whether Bardarbunga or the remains of hurricane Christobal would end up cancelling our flights into Iceland, the holiday went like a dream. The organisation of every hotel, every excursion and the car hire experience were all perfect. We managed to go to the Blue Lagoon, Glacier boat ride, horseriding with Hestasport and Snorkelling in Silfra. We even had an amazing Northern Lights show at Skagalfjordur. The only thing we did not manage was to fly over the fissure eruption at Holohraun because they started operation on our last day and by then everything was fully booked. Fantastic country. Highly recommended.

This was the first time that I planned a complete vacation only on emails! Planned a complete trip with zero phone calls. The ability to break payments across months was really helpful and the staff are extremely helpful and ready to provide every small information that you need! Very happy customer...

Thank you so much for a wonderful honeymoon! My husband and I had the adventure of our lives, and it kicked off the adventure we'll be having for the rest of our lives. Every part of our trip was perfect, and I can't wait to return!

I would like to say it was a marvellous trip and Irja did a wonderful job and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed it. We have recommended your tour agency to numerous friends and travellers we have met. We went to Norway last year with you. Everything was as advertised and organised. It all went off like clockwork. It was a marvellous experience and our tour organiser did a wonderful job and we had a trip that we will remember the rest of our lives. Thank you.

We had chosen the "quality" option for hotels, so we thought we'd be staying at the Arctic hotel in Ilulissat, but we were given the Icefiord hotel. In the end we concluded it was much better, since it's a small hotel, has its own charm, and is in an excellent position right in front of wonderful Disco bay. Everything worked out very well and Alexandra Thorisdottir took very good care of us!

Iceland is amazing. The most beautiful country I've ever seen and the Icelanders are very helpful and hospitable. The tour itself was very carefully organized in advance and went off without a hitch.

Accomodation was excellent, friendly and in good locations. This was a great vacation. The service from Nordic Visitor excellent. The emergency updates regarding potential disruption due to volcanic activity were very much appreciated and demonstrated excellent customer service.

I'm still in awe of how helpful Hafdis was before, during, and after our trip and everything about the tour from the moment we got picked up to our last stop at the Blue Lagoon! Nordic Visitor rocks! Thank you for making our first trip to Iceland one of hopefully many more!

Everything was smooth from pick up of tickets in the Oslo train station to check in at each hotel. A truly wonderful train trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of beautiful Norway, the tour was very well organized and easy to negotiate without a guide. It provides a good introduction to Norway for the first time visitor and I would highly recommend it. Kobrún was very efficient and represents your company very well.

Very impressed with the arrangements made - easy to follow independently. Pleased with location and standard of hotels. Delighted with the service you provided from the first email correspondence with Irja, right through to being dropped off at the airport at the end of the tour. Everything was so well organized and easy to follow, the arrangements exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a great holiday!

I have just completed a two week drive around Iceland. The bookings were all handled by Nordic Visitor Centre. I stayed at farmhouse hotels for most of the trip. I couldn't speak more highly of the whole experience. This started when I turned up unannounced at NVC in Reykjavik to check the trip; to the magnificent places I stayed at and the beautiful country. There was a volcano eruption while I was touring and the NVC contacted me before the eruption to warn me about it and afterwards to see where I was. The whole service was excellent and I will certainly use NVC if I can get back to Iceland.

We wanted to tour Iceland on our own, but knew nothing about where to stay, what to see or how long it might take to drive ourselves from place to place. After much research on the internet, we chose Nordic Visitor and could not be happier that we did so. We told Alexandra what we would like to do, how much time we had and what type of accommodations we would prefer. She suggested an itinerary, booked the hotels and made the car reservation. Much in advance of the trip, we received in the mail all of our hotel and transportation vouchers, a detailed itinerary, a map with a suggested driving route and all of our hotels plotted on it, along with suggestions about where to eat and what to do and see along the way. Alexandra was efficient, helpful, responsive and always cheerful. Once in Iceland, we received an Iceland Road Atlas and a phone to use in emergencies. Nothing went wrong on this trip. If it had, I know that Nordic Visitor would have helped us in any way that they could. My expectations are high and they were surpassed.

We just returned from an awesome nine day trip with visits to Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. Cecilia from Nordic Visitor coordinated the trip including transporation between the cities and hotels. She even coordinated a last minute change during our trip. Overall, we had a great trip and are very happy with our expereince with Cecilia and Nordic Visitor. Thanks!

We were very pleased with the quality and location of our accommodations. There was a good amount of time to make our transportation connections. We never felt rushed. All in all, we were very satisfied with Nordic Visitor.

Everyone we met was friendly and helpful…Express Iceland is not for those who want to relax their time away on holiday. It is a jam packed, whistle stop adventure which enables you to see a taster of all the very best that Iceland has to offer. We loved it! There is so much to see in Iceland that a trip can seem a little daunting. The tours that Nordic Visitor offered made it easy to decide what we wanted to see and Larus, our travel consultant, was always happy to answer any questions we had. Our trip was fantastic and Nordic Visitor made it so straightforward. When you travel as a family, it is extremely reassuring to know that all the details have been taken care of.

We asked Alexandra to try to get us the best rooms possible that were also quiet, if possible. It was obvious that she had done so at every destination. She asked us what we wanted, listened, asked a few good questions and then did her best to find us what we asked for and we were very pleased with the results. The materials provided by Nordic Visitor were fantastic. We used the maps and the brochures and the itinerary and read every suggestion. The map with a suggested driving route to each of our marked hotels was very helpful. We were very, very well prepared for this trip because of the outstanding work done and materials provided by Nordic Visitor. 

The trip was planned for us (based on what we wanted to do) and all of the details had been taken care of for us. The route was planned, the hotel reservations were made, we had books and maps sent to us and we were provided with a phone and GPS. Nordic Visitor thought of everything – and made themselves available by phone and by email all during our trip to answer our questions or help us in any way that they could. 

Working with Alexandra was just a pleasure. From the very first email I sent of inquiry about the possibility of booking a trip with Nordic Visitor until the email I sent at the end of our trip asking if we could change our shuttle pickup time at the hotel, she was helpful, knowledgeable, responsive and always cheerful. Thanks to Alexandra and Nordic Visitor, this was one of the best planned and organized trips we have ever taken. Nothing went wrong, but I have every confidence that Nordic Visitor would have helped us had there been any problems. I have no recommendations for how Nordic Visitor could improve what it does and that is unusual for me. My expectations are high, and they were surpassed.

Our trip to Iceland was unforgettable! Everything from the accommodations, to the rental car, to the travel documents exceeded our expectations! Jelena was fabulous and truly put our minds at ease answering any and all questions. We were blown away by the beauty of Iceland and the incredibly warm people. Everything was incredible, and we can't wait to return! Thank you!

It was a thoroughly-planned trip from A to Z with many options to select from and add to the trip depending on the location. The booklets given were most helpful and actually more efficient than Google, or just easier to navigate.

This was the vacation of a lifetime; Nordic Visitor more than met all of our expectations. Please thank Erla for the terrific job she did in setting up our trip. I have already recommended your service to many of my friends.

The hotels were all excellent - nice accommodations and excellent food and service. Everything went very smoothly with the vouchers and reservations. The information packet provided by the tour company was very complete, efficiently put together, and incredibly useful. I was very impressed with the level of service provided by Nordic Visitor. Our trip went very smoothly, and Nordic Visitor did an excellent job of organizing everything for us. I would absolutely use the company again.

Excellent assistance and communication from Jennie and wonderful accomodation. 

Outstanding thank you.

I travelled with family to Denmark, Norway and Sweden this month and had a fantastic time, thanks in large part to the excellent job that Nordic Visitor did in coordinating my trip. I customized one of their Scandinavian package deals by extending my time in certain cities and Nordic Visitor accommodated my requests. The hotels that they booked were very nice and all were close to tourist attractions and public transportation. The agency also booked some of the transportation, including a flight from Bergen to Stockholm, as well as all transportation for the Norway in a Nutshell tour, which was an awesome experience and the perfect way to take in the breathtaking scenery of the Norwegian mountains and fjords. I would definitely use Nordic Visitor again, if I ever decide to return to Scandinavia.

My wife and I took the Iceland Full Circle self-drive tour in early June. We then stayed on in Reykjavik for a few days. Our tour was arranged by Jelena. She was very helpful. We were very pleased with the tour. All of the arrangements were perfect. We enjoyed the inns where we stayed and the various tours that we took. Iceland is a beautiful country. Would highly recommend Nordic Visitor.

Hafdis really understood what we were looking for, and booked our accommodations perfectly! Booking through Nordic Visitor made our trip so much more enjoyable! It took out all the time and confusion with planning an adventure in another country, and allowed us to enjoy it all so much more! It was recommended to us from a co-worker, and we were so thankful. The cost was so reasonable for how beneficial it was. Thank you!! And yes it was coming up to a year ago, but the memories are still strong as I am currently making a photo book of our trip.

I would like to congratulate you on the very comprehensive information you sent us prior to the tour. We have done many international tours, but have never received such comprehensive pre-tour advice. That combined with the maps made it easier for us to navigate around Iceland, which was harder than I first thought. I would also like to congratulate you on your response to any of our queries prior to leaving. Any query was handled quickly and efficiently.

We had a great time. Lárus was fantastic when we were corresponding before our trip. He answered all of our questions in detail in a very timely manner. We really appreciated the welcome packet: the bound book was fantastic! The (very) large map with our highlighted route and guesthouses was super useful. Everything that you did took away the stress of planning a vacation in a country where we didn't read the language :) It left more time for us to enjoy the scenery!

As I think I have already said I very much appreciated the expertise and personalized service and would not hesitate to refer anyone I know to use your service.

It was all very convenient, the service was always friendly, and I always had my questions answered. This was the best service I've ever experienced! Everyone was nice, everything was simple, and I had the best vacation of my life (despite the uncooperative weather). Thank you so much!

We found the whole experience excellent. People are so friendly and helpful and although we encountered some challenging weather conditions, advice and the helpful “road.is” website helped us sail through. There was a lot of driving, yet stress free apart from a blizzard. Doing a circular tour of the country was so interesting, after the first day we thought it may be a case of "same as" but every day was different and enjoyable. We were lucky 3 nights with the "lights" and some beautiful sunny days wonderful sights and beautiful countryside.

Overall it was a great way to see Norway when you have limited time. It was a great way to see the country from different types of transport and the excursion for the Northern Lights were great. The guide was very helpful and tried to get the best advantage points for some great pictures. The dog sledding was also a wonderful experience which we would not have missed. The dogs were so friendly and instructions on sledding clear - with a hearty reindeer and vegetable meal to warm us up after the chilly sledding! We have not hesitated to tell others of our experience and now find some friends and family have now added it to their 'bucket list'! Thank you for your continued support throughout this adventure.

Even though, I couldn't see any northern lights, it was a good experience to visit Iceland. And it was easy to travel there with Nordic Visitor Tour.

My family (children aged 11 and 13) visited Iceland with Nordic Visitor and did their Traditional Christmas in the North tour. It was a wonderful way to get away for Christmas, and was great for my family to see Iceland's Christmas traditions. The trip was well-organized and well-documented, and included stays at a great hotel in Reykjavik (Fron) a good hotel in Reykjavik (FossHotel Baron) and an absolutely wonderful stay with a family in Siglufjörður (at The Herring House). The tour was a great balance of rest and exploration, which was exactly what I was looking for. It included a Northern Lights tour, a Golden Circle tour, a private tour of the Herring Era Museum in Siglufjörður, and time with our hosts at The Herring House.

Christmas is a wonderful time to visit Iceland, and Iceland is a wonderful place to spend Christmas with a young family. If you're looking for something different to do with your family then I highly recommend the Traditional Christmas in the North tour. My 13 year-old wants to do it again!

1. The "Norway in a Nutshell" has provided us a good perspective of Norway. 2. The combination of cruise, train, bus, and flight over 10 days gave us a compressed yet varied and comprehensive look into Norwegian lifestyle and landscape. 3. The dog sledging day tour was filled with fun and laughter, while the aurora light chasing tour was the most memorable experience. 4. Most importantly, the connections between various parts of the tour made by Nordic Visitor fit seamlessly into the schedule. 5. We truly appreciate the help and guidance provided by our two agents Helena and Kolbrun from Nordic Visitor, before and during the trip.

Booked a trip to Iceland with Larus at Nordic Visitor. I originally felt blind doing this as I did not know much about the hotels and sites but I soon did not feel alone. Larus responded quickly to my every question and inquiry, plus the information Nordic Visitor normally provides made me a knowledgeable traveler. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and our vacation was a huge success!

Overall it was a well planned trip. The days were full, driving was easy, and the geology spectacular. Some days we felt as if we were the only people around for miles. Especially enjoyed the baths in Myvatn, whale watching and the Northern lights. I missed the daily breakfast when the trip was over

The entire holiday was perfect from the moment I booked the tour with Nordic Visitor up to the time we left. Nothing was forgotten. All the information was very helpful and the car and guesthouses were all perfect. There was only one small issue during the trip that was resolved very quickly and did not take away from the wonderful experience. It was a perfect holiday! My daughter and I loved your country and it was enhanced by a well thought out and planned holiday by Nordic Visitor!

I already provided your contact information to three other people, so far. Wonderful experience and I plan on coming back one day and seeking assistance from Nordic Visitor. Thank you for providing an excellent holiday with every detail planned out and anticipated. Erla was wonderful to work with and was always available to answer questions and make changes quickly. Even when she went on holiday, Thordis took over and assisted me the same day I requested a change. This is the best holiday I have been on so far and it was definitely because of the excellent service and attention to detail that Nordic Visitor provided. Excellent company!

We had a wonderful time in Iceland and thought that the whole trip was organised very well indeed. The documentation supplied was excellent and we felt like we were travelling independently but with the full support of experienced local people. Iceland was amazing and as you travel around the coast the scenery just seems to get better and better and we found our vocabulary constantly consisted of words like stunning, beautiful, fantastic and wow. Thank you for a superb trip.

It was the most amazing trip we've ever had. Jelena at Nordic Visitor made it flawless and catered it to our likings. 

It all started at the Airport where we were greeted by a very nice gentleman who had a sign with our names on it. He drove us to our hotel at Reykjavik, told us stories about Iceland and of course gave us our travelling package. A very nice blue bag, that we used through our trip to keep our maps and memories together, had a big map with our route and things to see highlighted, a beautiful book with all the places to see, tons of good information, itinerary with addresses and phone numbers for hotels and a telephone, that was very useful, when our car broke down away from the main road.

When we had a car trouble, Nordic Visitor 24/7 service was there to help on Sunday afternoon. We were back on the road in less than two hours. Local mechanic was nice and we got to try some hot dogs at the local gas station, which you need to try, hot dogs are the best ever!! 

You also need to try Icelandic Burgers, they are great!! Buy them fresh almost at any gas station. Local meat soup, meat products and charr are great. Keep in mind that smoked means really smoked, almost like chewing on a burning stick. Everything worth a try though. Local milk products are flavorful and awesome!!

There are many things to see in Iceland and we wish we would spend more time there. We needed at least couple more days to really enjoy places that we loved. The scenery changes every 100 ft and all of it is beautiful. Iceland is very photogenic!!

Renting 4x4 is a good idea, it gets you places easier. The roads are not really what you are used for in the USA. 

Dress in layers. It's very important. Next to waterfalls it feels like heavy rain. Can get really windy and it blows right through you. 

If you need some private time with your very close friend or partne

All hotels had obviously been well researched and were excellent. Hotel locations very good. This was an excellent experience and a good way to see the countries visited. If we did it again we would spend additional time in places e.g., Oslo to recover from travelling and possibly fly home from Bergen. Many thanks.

Organisation was excellent - saving us the headaches of flight booking, car hire etc. Information pack was comprehensive with interesting suggestions. Our information pack failed to arrive before we left home (but we were in Norway for a week before our itinerary started). Delighted to find it waiting for us at check in at our Oslo hotel. Any concerns I had were promptly responded to and effectively dealt with by Kolbrun. Delighted with our holiday and by our experiences of Nordic Visitor, and cannot recommend highly enough.

My husband and I went on the 10 day self guided tour of Iceland August 10-19. The books and maps we received help us plan each day and the inss and hostels they picked for us were comfy and perfect. I am an organizer so getting the information sent to us first was great. I had the tour planned but of course when we got there - there were many things to see. 10 days was not enough. The phone they gave us was a big help with dinner reservations. More than enough mins. When we first arrived we stopped by the office and they went over the map with us and asked us what we wanted to see and then pointed out great items all over the country to stop. We were able to hit every one of them. I recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone. They are a great help and so organized.

We really appreciated the fine service and flexibility provided by our agent Larus as well as the entire NV staff. We had many needs/asks and changes along our trip (sorry!) and NV was flexible and accommodating. The trip exceeded expectations. THANK YOU!!!

The welcome pack was excellent…We were impressed with Alexandra's map & details on the itinerary. Thanks to Alexandra who organised our trip very comprehensively. We were very impressed with all the suggestions and how the map corresponded with the itinerary. We even went to the homemade ice cream seller Alexandra highlighted and had delicious dandelion ice cream. The preparation ensured our holiday went really smoothly. Thank you so much.

I found the process incredibly easy and informative. The map provided to us with areas of interest was used often and I found all of the documentation to be extremely helpful but easy to process. Much appreciated!

Erla accommodated all of our requests - she kept us updated and informed. This was our first experience dealing with a travel agency outside of the US and it was a wonderful and satisfying experience. We were extremely pleased with our overall experience and at how well everything went. Nordic Visitor planned a wonderful vacation for us that exceeded all of our expectations. Iceland is a beautiful country with stunning scenery. Each location we visited was different yet beautiful. We look forward to planning another vacation through Nordic Visitor.

Together with Alexandra at Nordic Visitor, we planned a 10-day trip around Iceland. From the very first contact, Alexandra was extremely helpful and creative in responding to our wishes. The entire (interactive) planning process ran very smoothly. All the information sent to us (by regular mail and email) before the start of the trip was very informative. From the moment we landed in Iceland, everything was again very well organized. The Road Atlas that the company provides is a great asset. Hotels and guesthouses were of high quality and everywhere we went, the food was great. The pre-booked excursions were very well-organized too! In general, we noticed that Nordic Visitor has an excellent network of hotels and guesthouses, and of companies for local excursions (glacier hike, whale watching, where, by the way, we got a great show by one whale). Thank you Alexandra and thank you Nordic Visitor. You are a great company to work with. Too bad Nordic Visitor has no control over the Icelandic weather..... that should be your next objective!

Pat and Marc

My husband and I traveled through Nordic Visitor for a full circle Iceland Activity Tour. We could not have asked for a better trip. The wonderful reviews helped us decide to book with Nordic Visitor and I wanted to share the positives of our vacation planned through Nordic Visitor. My husband and I had never traveled out of the United States before and wanted a trip that was well planned by locals. I feel that our tour allowed us to see much of the beautiful country. 

Iceland in general, is a very travel friendly country and I recommend a trip there to anyone who appreciates vast interesting landscapes, friendly people, and a whole lot more. Thank you Nordic Visitor for the wonderful vacation!

This was a trip of a lifetime for us. All of the accommodations were great! There was enough time in each day that we were never rushed to get to the next place.

Thanks ever so much

We were delighted by our Express Iceland tour, and the arrangements made on our behalf by Nordic Visitor. There were no unpleasant or unexpected surprises. Our accommodations consistently exceeded our expectations. Lárus was thorough and professional in assisting us throughout the process. We very much enjoyed Iceland, and look forward to returning again in the future.

We found the whole experience of visiting Iceland was very much smoothed by the prior arrangements and efficient service. It was good to visit the office and meet Alexandra and she was lovely and charming. The accommodation was largely excellent and the recommendations for our days were great. We had one of the best holidays ever, and given that we were in a very unknown environment, did not speak the language and had no experience of driving on the 'wrong side' of the road in snowy conditions, we were very pleased that everything worked so well. Thanks to you all for the great service.

The tour was very comprehensive and well organized. It exceeded my expectations. I have visited over 50 countries. This trip was the best. My son, daughter and son in law are already talking about visiting Iceland. The map, tour book and suggested itinerary were outstanding. Thank You.

We were very pleased with the planning/reservation services provided to us by Nordic Visitor. We were not quite sure what to expect, but everything went according to plan. Before our arrival we received a fairly comprehensive information package in the mail including a large map of Iceland and detailed itinerary. On our arrival at the airport we were picked up by a taxi driver who had our vouchers for the hotels, car rental and ferry. The next day we were driven to the car rental agency, and with our GPS powered-up, away we went! It turned out to be two weeks of incredible scenery, learning and great food. We recommend this trip and company.

We would highly recommend the self-drive trip around the Ring Road as arranged by Nordic Visitor! The country is spectacular!. It was easy for us because all the accommodations were arranged and were great. There was a detailed itinerary and information, back-up systems if needed, and quick and thorough service from Hilmar in the office. I would love to have taken 2 weeks instead of one to really absorb the country but what we experienced in beauty, natural phenomenon, and nice people made for a terrific vacation. I have enough history and geology to think about to last for a long time!

Our contact at Nordic Visitor was really helpful with all questions we had surrounding our holiday, which was invaluable to us, as we had not been on a holiday like this before. She made us feel as if no question was too small to ask & always replied promptly. All of the hotels were of a great standard, very clean & the owners/mangers were wonderfully friendly. We often ate in the hotels & the standard of food was really good throughout. We ended up with a number of favorite hotels: Vogar Farm had excellent foodboth breakfast & dinner, with a fantastic view & great rooms. Hotel Hellnar was again located with a beautiful view, really nice rooms & dinner in their restaurant was amazing. On the whole we enjoyed the non-chain hotels/ guesthouses the most, but all were of a great standard. Thank you for organizing a great holiday for us!

In booking this holiday our consultant was very helpful in customising the trip to our needs. The service and attention to detail we enjoyed could not be faulted and prior to our trip, we felt no uncertainty with our upcoming schedule upon reading our itinerary. Booking in winter allowed for an extremely affordable trip. We appreciated Nordic Visitor's eagerness to provide any assistance necessary and interest in our experience.

The tour:

- Driver for airport pickup had excellent knowledge about Icelandic history, pointing out various points of interest en route

- Staff at Sunna guesthouse were all very accommodating

- Itinerary very thorough and straightforward, leaving no room for confusion and was open ended and customisable

- Minniborgir Cottages were fantastic (Northern Lights were visible from hot tub and bedroom) , had everything we needed and

the staff were inviting and hospitable

- Iceland was beautiful, tour allowed for us to comfortably visit all major landmarks

- Sjávargrillið in Reykjavik was amazing

Everything was better than we could have expected, best holiday we've ever had. We don't care about visiting the rest of the world any more, nothing beats Iceland.

We booked our Moonlight Safari trip through Nordic Visitor and from the word go they were brilliant. The emails regarding deposits, itineraries and assistance were prompt and very detailed.

On arrival in Svalbard we were picked up by a pre-arranged taxi and our accommodation and tours lived up to the explanations on the website.

Nordic Visitor are the tour company to travel with when visiting the Svalbard region of Norway.

I booked a Nordic Visitor Tour for my partner's 40th Birthday just after Christmas and it was fantastic, we had such a great time. Nordic Visitor's staff were really helpful, there are really well organised. We received all the documentation we needed when we arrived at the hotel including a map, a guide tour as well as a mobile for ermergencies. The hotel we stayed in was very nice and very well located in the city centre although it was quite noisy with some bar or night club next to the hotel which kept us awake. But that's the only complaint we would have as everything else was great. The holiday cottage was fantastic, lost in the wilderness, it was like staying in a ski chalet with its own hot tub outside. We rented a four wheel drive which was part of the package and here again no problem at all, the car was in prestine condition and I would definitely recommend a four wheel drive if you want to travel a little bit further as some of the roads can be challenging.

The highlight of our trip was spending New Year's Eve in Reykjavik. It was out of this world, an explosion of fireworks for at least two hours. It was probably one of the best , if not the best New Year's Eve we ever had! If by chance you are going at this time of year I would recommend watching the fireworks from outside the Cathedral, but beware if you have children as in Iceland there are no restrictions on fireworks and anyone can fire them from pretty much anywhere and we had a few passing by dangerously near! But do not let this putting you off as there were fantastic firework displays.

So overall, I would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor as a tour company as well as the Northern Comfort self-drive package. We are really hoping we can come back one day and see the Northern Lights as unfortunately we were not lucky that time.

It was a great trip! I thought Nordic Visitor set us up very well with seeing the beautiful countryside and cities. There was just enough driving, mixed with sight seeing with down time in the afternoons. All the accommodations were more than adequate.

All the hotels were very good and staff were all very friendly. A special mention for the hotel in Lom which was fantastic!

This past summer we spent a week in Iceland following the "South at Leisure" self-drive tour arranged by Thordis of Nordic Visitor. The entire experience was first-rate. Every accommodation that was arranged for us was beautiful, every meal was amazing, all of the people we met were friendly and accommodating, and every day was memorable. We not only enjoyed the sightseeing, we got to ride horses, hike and snowmobile on glaciers, and snorkle in Silfra. We also indulged in "underwater massages" at the Blue Lagoon. The weather was cool and rainy most days, but the sunlight lasted all night, so every day felt like two days of vacation. I highly recommend visiting Iceland, especially since it is only a 5-hour flight from NY, so you don't even have to worry about jet lag! I also recommend using Nordic Visitors - they were there for us every step of the way - even when we changed our minds or changed our schedules.

I think it is important to comment on the outstanding service I received from Signý Ósk Snorradóttir who was my consultant at Nordic Visitor. I have been arranging my husband and my honeymoon around Iceland in August from Sydney Australia. Signy's advice was fantastic and he has helped create an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience full of exciting activities. I would not hesitate to recommend Signy and Nordic visitor as a company to anybody thinking about visiting Iceland. Signy is exceptional.

I've used Nordic Visitor for two self-drive vacations now. The first, Iceland Full Circle in June 2011 was so enjoyable that I used them again this June to travel through Scandinavia. For Iceland, I followed their set itinerary, but in Scandinavia I asked them to customize their Highlights of Scandinavia tour to add stops or extra days at some locations. Although all communication took place via email, I felt that an actual person was helping to plan my trip. For both vacations, Nordic Visitor responded to my every request and provided everything they promised. We were picked up at the airport on arrival, our rental cars were excellent, the cities/towns where we stayed all had something to interest us, and our hotels were well-located -- ranging in quality from adequate to outstanding. I'd definitely use them again if I travel to the countries where they operate.

Dear Maria,

I must congratulate Nordic Visitor & yourself for the travel documents & information presentation on arrival at Reykjavik. The accommodation & meals at all the Hotels & the Guest House were first class & we would not have any hesitation in recommending them to our friends. As group, we found the information on the Iceland map showing the route & locations of interest very easy to follow & allowed us time to venture off the road to to view the magnificent scenery of your country.

Again, my sincere appreciation for making our trip one to remember & I have plenty of literature / brochures to pass on to our friends.

Everything was extremely well done, I though. Sigfus was very accomodating when it came to answering every question--he even answered my question when he was out of the office sick. The entire self-drive course along the Ring Road was easy to follow. I mostly used the GPS, but the maps and atlas came in handy when trying to find locations the GPS did not recognize as well as letting me find other desinations of personal interest (like the gliderport just outside of Reykjavik).

This trip was everything I hoped for. I booked this trip - 5 new countries - as a celebration of my 50th birthday. Everything that Nordic Visitor and Jennie did was fantastic. I got sick on the first day but Jennie helped me with the missed tour and smoothed everything out. Our hotels were great and in great locations. All of the instructions in the welcome package were spot on. Randy especially loved all the marked maps. Each city map looks very well-worn now because we carried them everywhere to plan our next move all day long. We are very active and were covering 12-15 miles on foot each day. The maps kept us on course and let us know where to head next. When we stopped for dinner on the way home from the airport back in LA, I asked Randy what he would change about the trip and his answer was, "Nothing." That sums it up! Thank you soooooo much for making this trip the celebration I needed.

We have traveled independently many times but with a short stay of one week decided that going through a travel company would help us make best use of our time- and the ability to do a 'facilitated' self guided tour was perfect for us. We all agreed it was the best short break holiday we have ever had THANK YOU!!

Had a lovely time, best holiday in ages, thank you!

It was a pleasure to deal with Cecilia Markov. The overall trip experience for us (Two couples) was memorable. The ferry trip to Flam, the stay and dinner at Fretheim Hotel were outstanding. The Flam railway train ride was sensational and so was the train journey back to Oslo. We found the people in Norway, friendly and helpful. The whole country is beautiful. The city of Oslo was a delight to explore. We would gladly come back again for a holiday in Norway. Thank you for your hospitality.

The travel guide was far more informative then anything we had bought for ourselves ahead of time. The welcome package was excellent and highlighting our route on the map was a great idea. Overall services provided went above and beyond our expectations.

Kristin did a great job in keeping us informed as we drove around Island. Specifically when the bridge was washed out at Vik - she called us immediately and recommended a detour. And, when our glacier hike was finalized at Snaefellsjokull, she called us to confirm that day tour.

We are only sorry that we could not give her our thanks in person.

"Very good" doesn't seem adequate to describe the superb information provided and the thoroughness of the package we received on arrival. You service greatly exceeded our expectations in every way. Anna's Hotel stands out as one of our most pleasant hotel stays in many years of travelling. One of its great assets is that it is too small to accommodate tour buses.

We chose Nordic Visitor because of the excellent range of activities offered. The itinerary was really well thought out and planned, and the tour allowed us to experience the best Norway has to offer. The personal meeting at the hotel [on arrival] is an excellent service—it allows you to ask all the questions you need, and the phone was an inspired idea—it’s really nice to have that facility.

Brilliant, Palmi. Thanks!

P.S. Iceland is next...  

It was a very nice trip with Nordic Visitor, and a wonderful experience... I was very happy with your services, I was picked up at the airport, and we drove to Kiruna, and went through the program of my tour.

Overall it was a very nice trip with Nordic Visitor, and a wonderful experience to visit Kiruna.

Just want to thank you and Nordic Visitor team for the excellent service you provide…never experienced in a travel agency such a professional and kind treatment. We loved your country, the Icelanders are such a loving people…it was a vacation that we will never forget…..so many memories. Like your slogan says: an Unforgettable Travel Experience!

First of all, we just loved our stay on Iceland. Everything was quiet perfect, the receptions on the hotels, the bedrooms, and the places you recommended to see.

About the "Tour Evaluation", we can say that the rate of service provided by Nordic Visitor was excellent, and the documents you send us by the chauffer and the information/meeting received before the tour were good. As I said before the standard of accommodation was excellent as the rental car. The standards of the meals were good. The itinerary was excellent (we loved Heimaey, especially the hotel).

Well, we were a bit surprised (positively) because we didn't have any references at all about your services (we knew about your travel agency by google), and we can say that if we return to a nordic country maybe it will be using the services of Nordic Visitor. The only thing we are disappointed is to never knew the person that make this perfect travel organization... But still thank you for all.

All of our hotels were much higher quality than we would have booked ourselves. They were wonderful and the breakfasts were fabulous. The personnel were so friendly and often went out of their way to help. We appreciated the markings on the maps. The only bit of complaint we had was that the young man at the car rental did not give very good directions to the car garage. It was hard for my husband to walk that far. We should have called a taxi. The GPS in the car gave good directions. My husband was not used to the gas saving engine shut off and he thought there was something wrong with the car. I presumed it was to save gas, and he finally got used to it. The best part was that we found where my grandparents had lived and were born. Thank you for giving us extra time in the locations where we needed to hunt. 

Thanks for all your answers ahead of time and for working out the details. The trip was wonderful and the adventure of a lifetime for our age.

The high-light of our European adventure was the week in Sweden doing the self-drive tour that you had arranged for us (Stockholm & a Slice of the Countryside).  Everything in the tour was absolutely perfect from the transfer arrangements to the car and hotel accommodations and the tour format itself. I would highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you very much for all that you did to make this part of our holiday so enjoyable - even the weather cooperated.

Hi Klara,

We are back home now having returned from Gothenburg yesterday.

We had a wonderful trip in Stockholm helped by the unusual kindness of the weather gods. Both the excursions were excellent; especially with a good guide/driver who took us through the Viking tour. We felt that it would have a better experience to start with the city tour rather than end our trip with it. The hotel location was very central with excellent facilities. All in all both of us felt that we were well looked after and were very impressed with the quality of service.

Overall the tour was good. But, when we arrived to pick up our car, the car company (Enterprise) did not have our updated reservations (even though we were assured by Nordic Visitor that they did). It took over two hours to sort out the car. This was difficult on us as we were up all night from flying.

The overall tour was great and well organized. Our guide was friendly and full of knowledge and stories and everyone had a wonderful time.

We did the comfort self drive ring tour and loved the detail of our package we received upon arrival. It highlighted the areas we visited and provided detail of what to expect. All accommodations were great and each one offered something different. I think if we winged it ourselves we would have missed a lot. It was nice to have everything taken care of in advance.

It has been a week since we got back from our trip and I still cannot believe how amazing it was. Booking with Nordic Visitor was the best decision we could have made. The 14 day self drive itinerary was perfectly laid out and our accommodations each night were excellent. It was so nice to not worry at all about logistics and to just spend all of our energy admiring the beautiful country. I wouldn't have changed anything!

On short notice, Nordic Visitor put together a wonderful self driving 3 week trip. It was very easy working with Helga and Ari. They offered great suggestions and were patient to fine tune our route, locations for overnights and excursions that we wanted to participate en route. Even questions regarding where to buy particular items was answered. Everyone in Iceland was great to work with. Highly recommend Nordic Visitor to help plan a dream vacation!

Our Ring Road self-driving tour was awesome. We spent our time touring and hiking the wonders of Iceland. In particular, we enjoyed the spectacular and varied waterfalls, changing landscapes, geysers, Icelandic horses, erupting volcano and friendly people. Nordic Visitor provided generally great accommodations, advice, maps and sightseeing information.

Nordic Visitor was very easy to work with and took care of all of the details. We traveled the entire ring road on our 7 day tour.

Well thought out tour and recommendations. Very well organized.

My travel consultant, Thor, answered all my questions in a timely way and in as much detail as I needed. When he was on vacation, someone else checked his email and answered another question. Your travel material answered questions I didn't know to ask! Our guide, Snorri, was an Icelander and very knowledgeable about Iceland's history and culture. He was both personable and organized. I am more impressed, pleased, and thankful for the quality of service we received than I can adequately express. Perhaps most impressive was that Nordic Visitor arranged PCR tests for people on our tour who were unaware that this was needed to return home. Someone from the lab came to our hotel on the last day to test all those who needed it. That is true service.

Alexandra was wonderful and answered my many emails promptly. We loved our tour of Iceland! The hotels were excellent and everything was very organized with the transfers and car rental. We saw so many beautiful sights along the way thanks to the itinerary book. We only missed one thing along the way - Diamond Beach. It wasn't clear in the book that Diamond Beach is at the same location as the glacier lagoon. We just didn't walk out far enough when we were visiting the lagoon. I didn't realize we missed it until we got home. But we saw so much that we are extremely happy!

Awesome tour! Took care of everything. Silja was very professional and very helpful all the way through the process and the tour. Would definitely use Nordic Visitor again!

We had a fantastic guide, Havar, who taught us many aspects of Icelandic history while sharing the beauty of Iceland.

Nordic Visitor is one of the most professional companies we have ever worked with! Everything was extremely well planned out. Every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly.

Silja was the best. She was kind, efficient and very informative. We are only sorry COVID prevented us from meeting her.

Everything was planned to perfection! We followed the itinerary with a few additions of our own. Having everything from activities to lodgings laid out for us certainly eliminated the burden of planning and making arrangements. This was one of the best vacations ever. Our Nordic Visitor travel consultant, Silja, answered all of our questions and we couldn't have done this trip without her help.

Had a wonderful time. Hotel chain (Fosshotel) had too many tour buses that stay there so service is not great and overbooked. We couldn't even find a parking spot. Wouldn't recommend them for these reasons. Dinner is hard to get into, service is slow and staff was kinda rude to be honest.

Organisation by Silja was superb, as were her notes.

Iceland was a wondrous experience and the tour notes were very helpful, especially "staff picks." The route was well planned, accommodations, especially the guesthouse, very comfortable. I would definitely go with Nordic Visitor on another trip.

Service with a smile! Despite our unending questions, Silja was always very friendly and helpful, and her service was very personable.

The service was adequate, but as a tourist, we felt like we constantly had to double check everything because of mistakes or misunderstandings. For example, we originally had the city walk and Blue Lagoon booked for the same day even though both of those conflicted. Then the Blue Lagoon was moved to a different day without speaking to us, which conflicted with another tour, so it had to be moved again. The walk to the bus stops was annoying and not disclosed until a few weeks before travel. That could have been fixed by picking different hotels the buses could reach. While a car was offered to us as an option early on, we didn't select this because we assumed we would enjoy the tours more. In hindsight, I would have picked that and a different hotel, which would have been a greater value, allowed us to see more each day, and stay (or leave) each site on our own schedule. Most of the tours are just bus transfers to a site, which is self explanatory, so a car would have been better.

Overall we really enjoyed ourselves. I loved Reykjavík. Only real waste of 5 hours was the glacier hike. I wish we'd chosen the Lagoon boat ride instead. The glacier hike was way too difficult for us. I went half way and my husband went all the way but hurt his knee. It is NOT an easy climb. For people over 60, you must tell them. Our ride from the airport was not there when we got in. I was trying to find who to call, but he showed up about 15 minutes late. Not a big deal, but after an all-night flight you don't want any surprises. 

We missed some of the attractions because of the absence of Wi-Fi and navigation system. Nordic Visitor needs to change the car rental company to a more reliable one. Our experience was ruined because of a car rental company. Car was dirty and without Wi-Fi. The navigational system was non-functional and I was forced to call my cell phone provider to have some navigation abilities in unfamiliar country. After numerous e-mails to Nordic Visitor, we were not issued any monetary refund for WI-FI or navigational system.

It was great having all the arrangements made by knowledgeable people. I enjoy the planning aspect of travel and my advisor worked with me to make sure my trip was exactly what we wanted.

Awesome service!

It was all beautifully organized! We all felt the same and yes I would recommend your company to friends.

It was a top rated trip thanks to Nordic Visitor. Great guide, nice accommodations and fun itinerary. We had the time of our life!

Our tour scheduling was postponed for over 1 year due to the pandemic. Nordic Visitor was very accommodating with credits and bonus allowances due to this disruption. Travel consultant Silja worked with us and offered us options, answered our questions in a timely manner and ultimately scheduled our tour to every detail also during a changing travel environment.

We had a wonderful trip and are extremely thankful for the detailed itinerary - both map and book were awesome! 90% of the trip was 5-star all the way. Our last day was overly hectic due to all the highlights and miles needed to travel. We ended up rescheduling our cave tour for earlier afternoon and cutting out the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and many West Iceland highlights. We were getting tired of all the driving at this point and wanted to make sure we arrived in Reykjavík with enough time to return our car, enjoy a nice evening dinner and catch a few more Reykjavík sights. If we would have stuck to the day's planned itinerary, we would have arrived late to Reykavík extremely tired and grumpy. We loved the West Fjords and would have preferred to skip Isafjordur (not much to see & do/terrible accommodations) and spend an extra day allowing enough time to visit the areas we skipped. There was also an issue with scheduling our COVID test for re-entry into the US. When we received our itinerary, I asked when/how/where we should schedule our test and was told Borgarnes would be best. This testing center was only open from 11:30-12:00 which blew up the entire itinerary and caused last-minute scrambling on an already overbooked final day. I ended up calling Nordic Visitor and was then told that the testing center in Reykjavík the morning of our departure was a better bet. This would have been good to know from the beginning. I understand coordinating COVID tests is not the tour company's responsibility, but it would have been really, really helpful if it were built into the itinerary. I asked about testing several times prior to our trip and so it was obviously a top concern for us.

Silja took the time to make sure that everything I asked her was answered. Everything that she planned for us was great. She was exceptional to work with. Nordic Visitor was a great company to work with.

The service was outstanding last year when we first planned the trip. Metta was very helpful in meeting our plans that were not the normal circle plan. This year, Thor did not have much time to make all the arrangements since we went to Iceland soon after the country reopened to visitors. The only complaint that we have was that our detailed itinerary did not arrive until after we left for the airport for the trip, so we did not get it until arrival in Iceland. We understand that this was due to the very short lead time that we gave Nordic Visitor. We especially enjoyed the variety of hotels and guesthouses where we stayed. We had very interesting experiences and discussions in all of the guesthouses and most of the hotels. We have already passed Nordic Visitor's information to some other people who plan to travel in the next few years.

I read your REVIEWS & wanted a company that would do the "leg work" for me...I used RICK STEVES book on ICELAND to decide what I wanted to see & where to stay, but was UNSURE of roads & distances to travel each day. Figured Nordic Visitor local staff would know BEST. I did know many things would be closed, but the draw for me was the lack of tourists this early in the year. I requested SPECIFIC accommodations & ONLY one was booked..no explanation provided! 

Our contact with Nordic Visitor employees while we were in Iceland was outstanding. They were quick to respond to our questions, and provided prompt follow-up. In all respects, they were professional and a pleasure to work with.

The information supplied was very helpful. Probably the Express Tour needs to be 1 day longer.

Nordic Visitor made our self guided trip easy. I appreciated the notes on our map from Alexandra and the daily notes on which sites to consider seeing. Hotels always expected us and gave us good rooms with awesome views. I usually plan our trips myself but Nordic Visitor made it easy and affordable. Looking forward to using Nordic Visitor for a future Scandinavian trip.

Nordic Visitor provided an amazing service. Everything from arrival to departure was planned out perfectly and anytime we had questions they were there to address them. All accommodations and tours they had set up were also top notch. Our travel coordinator, Ari, was phenomenal! He even had a honeymoon gift and note for us which was extremely thoughtful. Our trip to Iceland was unforgettable!

The tour was great but a little rushed. We thought the north/eastern side of Iceland was amazing and we're glad we extended our stay there.

We were very happy with our Nordic Visitor tour. Our tour consultant, Kristi­n, was very helpful. Iceland is beautiful and the people there are very gracious and very welcoming.

Good. The maps provided gave options for travel. Had nice suggestions on what to see.

All accommodations were excellent with very friendly hosts. Car rental pickup was very quick and easy and car was excellent. Rebecca was excellent, she took all our requirements and made a personal tour for us. Her attention to detail was excellent.The documents at our first hotel were excellent especially the map with everything marked on for us.

Nordic Visitor is a great company and I definitely recommend booking with them. You may pay a bit more than if you would plan your trip yourself, but in my case, booking last minute and having no time to do my researches, I was really happy with this solution. Iceland is a very big country and you need to have some information before you get there. Nordic Visitor gave me all the important information and everything went super good! 

The tour we took was phenomenal. The preparation and service we received from Nordic Visitor was exceptional. We would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to any and all of our friends and family.

It's intimidating visiting a foreign country where you don't speak the language. Our fears were put to rest the moment we started our tour, the whole experience was just wonderful. Everything was wonderful, our tour was carefully planned and made the maximum use of our time.

The greatest trip my wife and I have ever taken. From start to finish, it was an unbelievable experience.  The country is beautiful and Nordic Visitor made it easy for us to experience.  

Our 2nd tour with Nordic Visitor. Would definitely use again.

I have already traveled twice with Nordic Visitor, and am already in the process of booking a third trip! Absolutely love working with you! Every bed and breakfast we stayed at was amazing. The hosts were so welcoming with great suggestions of things to do and places to eat. The rooms were very comfortable, and the amenities were awesome! 

Flam railway trip fantastic and the ferry cruise in the magnificent fjord. Overall, very good travel experience for this usually very independent traveller.

It was a great adventure and the Magma cabins were fantastic. 

Our honeymoon exceeded our expectations not only because Scotland's natural beauty, but in large part to the amazing planning and service we received from our travel agent, Annie! She was so helpful and provided very quick and agile responses to every question we had. And during our trip she even had to make a last minute accommodation change for us on Islay, as our original B&B cancelled on our stay a couple nights in advance. She made arrangements for us at another hotel all within the same day. And on top of that Christoph also helped to set up a distillery tour for us when we arrived at Islay. Those are only a couple small examples of what amazing service and planning that Annie and her team gave us. I can't sing Annie's praises enough, she was a gem to work with.

Attention by Hanna was excellent. We enjoyed all the accommodation , restaurants and general sites to visit. The Geysir visit was surprisingly the least spectacular and a bit over-hyped. The Lava Tunnel was excellent and an unexpected wonder. In general ALL guides were absolutely excellent, humorous and informative; notably those for the Glacier Lake, Lava Tunnel, ATV bikes, Helicopter,

Nordic Visitor made this trip one of the easiest, most relaxing travel experiences we have had.

Extremely well planned. Logical itinerary. We felt that we saw so much of what we'd hoped Norway would offer. It met all of our expectations and was just lovely.

Personal suggestions for restaurants and places to see where greatly appreciated. Most of the hotels & B&B's where of high quality.

I just loved the scenery and history of Scotland but Rob made the tour. Also it was lovely being in such a small group and travelling in a smaller vehicle with very friendly people. Staying in the beautiful historic places, especially the last hotel were also very special.

I loved every minute of our tour. Iceland is a beautiful and interesting country and one that is easy for foreigners to experience since so many people speak English. Our experience with Nordic Visitor was excellent! We found the website informative and comprehensive and Dagny helpful every step of the way leading up to our trip. 

Visit Iceland was a dream for me and my husband and Nordic Visitor made our honeymoon absolutely unforgettable!

The map and itinerary provided with the highlights of places we were visiting was so helpful. 

Our tour was amazing and perfectly designed with our personal interests in mind. We want to go back to experience more of this beautiful and friendly country.

I really appreciate having an itinerary that's set for the trip. I've had trips in the past where we didn't plan ahead and it became stressful trying to come up with activities to do. I never feel that way when I travel with Nordic Visitor. Great spots to visit and great company. It was a wonderful trip.

I was really impressed with accessibility of railway station and all the arrangements. I must say I was extremely impressed. I am telling everybody that seeing Norway by train tour is THE way!

My husband and I wanted to hire a car and travel extensively throughout northern Scotland which included the Orkney Islands, and the other beautiful islands in far northern Scotland. From the day we contacted Agne Dobrovolskyte at Nordic Visitor, everything ran as smoothly as clockwork! Agne knew exactly what we wanted;  all the Bed & Breakfast places she booked on our behalf right throughout Scotland were absolutely perfect, centrally located near all facilities, managed by wonderful, friendly hosts and included delicious, plentiful breakfasts. The car Agne booked for us was reliable and the perfect (compact) size to negotiate the narrow, single lane roads you frequently experience in northern Scotland (especially on the northern Scottish islands). Agne gave us the benefit of her experience of Scotland with wonderful suggestions on what to see and do - suggestions and advice that we were glad we followed. Everything Agne did and organised, made our road trip throughout the beautiful country of Scotland a wonderful and memorable experience. For anyone wanting to deal with a high-achieving travel company that is absolutely professional and efficient, we highly recommend Nordic Visitor and, in particular, Agne Dobrovolskyte, who proved to be a very competent, friendly and knowledgeable travel agent. Thank you, Agne!"

Our entire trip included two weeks in Scotland and two weeks in Europe. During our travels we raved about Nordic Visitor and how professional, organised and helpful you are. It was so well organised and every little detail was covered so we could relax and enjoy our holiday without any concerns. I am really really impressed and would recommend your company (and Annie) without hesitation!

This tour was a positive experience for us, beginning to end. The planning by Nordic Visitor was complete, thoughtful, and worked flawlessly. Scotland was stunning and most interesting - we just wish we had more time. To Nordic Visitor: Great Job! We'll be back!

I absolutely loved the travel documents. It made the trip so easy and smooth. The packet was so informative and I loved the map to be able to see what was along our route so we could plan our stops along the route before hand. This was the easiest trip I have ever gone on. I've booked many trips through different travel agencies and none have ever gone this smooth. I wish you were everywhere so I'd never have to use another agency. (More of Europe, Africa, Australia South America, ect).

It was absolutely well planned with great insight as to what we could do in each location. Very professional & well planned out tour, we couldn't have asked for more.  

Our experience with Nordic Visitor was exceptional. All of our accommodations were clean and were so varied. They gave us a real sense of Icelandic living and allowed us to meet people from all over the world and share their amazing adventures in Iceland.

Attention by Hanna was excellent. We enjoyed all the accommodation , restaurants and general sites to visit. The Lava Tunnel was excellent and an unexpected wonder. In general ALL guides were absolutely excellent, humorous and informative; notably those for the Glacier Lake, Lava Tunnel , ATV bikes, Helicopter,

Our agent, Agne, did a wonderful job dealing with us. All questions were answered and her trip planning resulted in one of our most enjoyable and worry free travel experiences.

We couldn't have imagined putting this trip together on our own. Brynja was simply wonderful! She put together a trip of a lifetime for us. She had to manage 8 people, 2 countries, different time tables and constant questions. She made all the difference! We are already planning to use Nordic Visitor for many more trips.

I would like to thank Sarah for her help and for the arrangements. It was a great and very special experience for my family and me. Scotland was even more beautiful than I imagined. We met another couple that did the same tour that we did at the rent car place and they seemed to have a similar great experience. Even with the STORM (after surviving Hurricane Harvey it didn't seem like much), we were able to see and experience all the sites we could make time for. Thank you.

We are very happy with Nordic Visitor and the service we were provided.  Everyone was very helpful and very responsive!

We were really impressed with Nordic Visitor and have already recommended it to friends and family. Whilst travelling we felt reassured that we were looked after and could rely on Nordic Visitor to help us, should we need it. It was a great experience!

We just returned last night from our trip to Scotland and I wanted to let you know what a great trip we had with Nordic Visitor. You were wonderful setting up our requests and I cannot thank you enough for switching our tour dates when we were unable to go as originally planned in May. The hotels and food were brilliant. Brian was magnificent. We could not ask for more of a guide. Even the special trip to see Highland coos. This was our second Nordic Visitor trip and we are now looking into our 3rd for next year. Thank you again for great memories. I am glad we were able to meet you on our first night.

The service we received was integral to a fantastic trip. It went without a hitch. All of the guesthouses we stayed at were excellent.

It was the best trip of my life that I have ever been on. The Hotels and the car rental were managed for us, which took off all the stresses of traveling for us. The detailed map was perfect, loved the little details like where to find "homemade ice cream". Loved that every day there was something to see and do but still had the option to relax and/or take the day off. Our favorite moments was The whole entire New Year's Eve day! Starting out with the guided tour around Reykjavik. Learning about local folklore. Then heading over to the New Year's Eve dinner, that had us laughing and entertained! (Please get us the hosts name. She was beautiful and the highlight of our night). Then we got to hangout with locals at an enormous Bon fire while watching fireworks across the city. Then ending at the perfect place to be on top of the building to watch the count down to midnight with a 360 degree view of Reykjavík, with a lit up sky of fireworks!! Iceland was beautiful and magical and we can not wait to go back with the Nordic Visitor. I did have one complaint but was resolved... there were no instructions that I found in the itinerary that told us what to do with the Emergency phone after we were done trip. But It turns out there were separate instructions that I found crumpled up at the bottom of my travel bag. So really Nordic Visitor did it all correctly and can't wait to book with them again.

I have not used a travel agent in a very long time. Typically do it all myself, so felt a bit apprehensive, especially since I found this on the internet and not a personal recommendation.  I was extremely pleased with the trip planning, and we loved the map and personalized comments Hanna added to it.

This tour was not very good but EXCELLENT!! I would highly recommend it to anyone who asked me. Pete was an awesome tour guide and I can't wait to go back to see the things I missed. Too much to see in only a week. “ This was one of the best trips ever, my husband and I token and I have been all over the world! We both agreed, we would do it again in an instant. Annie handled everything quickly and to my satisfaction. If there was a selection for EXCELLENT, she would have gotten it.

Most outstanding travel agency we have ever dealt with. We are 68 years old and travelled extensively throughout the world with jobs and for recreation for the last 45 years. Benchmark organisation which will only grow and prosper with their attitude.

Annie was terrific — very responsive, pleasant to work. In the age of the internet, one sometimes wonders about spending money to have a service book hotels and a rental car, but I was reminded again how terrific Nordic Travel is. I love the highlighted map. We honestly did not prepare ahead of time, but were able to hit the ground running upon arrival because of the materials and itinerary provided. The hotels were terrific. Each one had it's own character and we enjoyed them all. Thank you for wonderful vacation!

We really like the tour packages you provide. We have now completed 2 tours with you and at present we are in Iceland on your Iceland Complete Tour. We may do the Lake District in England with you in the future.

The entire trip was exceptional....hotels, breakfast meals were wonderful and the hotel dinners were great........ We were so pleased with our consultant Agne Dobrovolskyte, we called her and she answered our questions, and concerns Without hesitation.......overall a "Fabulous Trip"

I could not be happier with this company and would highly recommend it. When we first starting seeking help from local travel agencies in Canada, we were not getting anywhere and no one seemed to want to put in the time to help us plan. Upon finding Nordic Visitor, we were immediately put in touch with Helga, who made the process easy and fun, answering questions within 24 hours and offering great suggestions throughout our planning. When arriving in Iceland everything went very smoothly. 

Entire experience with Nordic Visitor was very positive. From first contact, communication was very prompt, informative and exactly what was requested, the package put together for us was just what we had hoped for. All information, including the "tour pack" was first class. Helga was a brilliant travel consultant - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable & always keen to help. Katrin was also very helpful when Helga was out of the office for a few days  Overall, we were very impressed with Nordic Visitor

We were just thrilled with how wonderful the trip was, and are very grateful to Alda for all of her hard work and flexibility with our changing needs and many requests. Having all of the trip details planned by you allowed us to truly relax and enjoy an unparalleled vacation.

I was very impressed with the efficiency of your staff and how processes that were meant to work actually went very smoothly. We have been traveling for many years and your organization is the least stress creating travel group we have experienced.

Everything was excellent and very professional. Particularly impressed with professionalism of staff and quality of documentation. Felt confident that Nordic Visitor was the correct choice.

We were delighted with all of Annie's choices. We also got very favorable feed back from the B&B owners regarding Nordic.There was not one thing planned by Nordic that did not go as planned. When asked how our trip was I have replied many times "I can not imagine it being any better".

Brian has such passion for what he does. Couldn't have asked for more. Annie Pepperell was our travel agent with Nordic Visitor. She did an excellent job all the way around.

"Very Good" comes short of describing my trip! This was probably my top, most favorite trip every and I travel a lot. The B&Bs and hotels were excellent and I chose the standard. My itinerary was well planned making it so easy to just enjoy everything. The detailed guide book also was a great help in offering suggestions of thing not to miss. My deepest appreciation to Annie not only for planning this outstanding trip, but also her "above and beyond" service dealing with my luggage which the airline had lost.

Amazing. The communication and materials we received made our trip easy and everything was extremely helpful. 

We were extremely impressed with everything - all pick ups, tours and services arrived at our hotel on time and accurately. It made our time in Iceland so enjoyable to not worry about scheduling, dealing with taxis, etc.

The tours and guides were very good and the overall experience lived up to our expectations. We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this year and have been promising to go to see the northern lights since we got married. We were not disappointed.

Everyone keeps asking us how we managed to plan such an incredible trip...a trip of a lifetime. We tell them Nordic Visitor! It was difficult to place our trust in a company we knew nothing about other than what we saw online. I started working with Bjarni over eight months in advance to plan this and his professionalism and quick responses to my many questions and concerns made me feel assured we had chosen the right company. There was one issue that arose with our Hurtigruten booking but Bjarni took care of it immediately and we were more than impressed with the outcome. The entire adventure was top notch all the way through. I really can't wait to travel with Nordic Visitor again. It may be a few years but we will be back!

Our overall experience with Nordic Visitor was superb from first contact to last. The service has been prompt, professional and friendly and the quality of the tours organised was fantastic. I would not hesitate to use Nordic Visitor again or recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much for a great holiday.

We found Nordic Visitor very organised and professional. The overall choice of hotels, the areas visited and time allotted to cover the distances was good particularly given the weather we had. Staff at some of the hotels, the hire car company(Atak) and the airport drivers all had positive things to say about Nordic Visitor.    

I was so impressed with the accommodation quality. The whole tour was incredible and will be looking to use you guys again for other Nordic travels. I've recommended you to many friends already. You've done an amazing job

We have been very impressed with the service we have received from Nordic visitor, and very glad we booked our trip through you as it made the trip so much easier having everything taken care of for us already. Our travel consultant was very easy to talk to leading up to the trip and helped tailor our tour to fit in what we wanted to do.

Great team of agents! Everyone was so helpful with the booking process and any issues we encountered during our trip. 

Nordic Visitor was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend using their services.  It made everything so easy.  

This is the first package tour that we have ever booked, as I am used to arranging our travel myself and being more independent. Given the quality of the service and organisation, and how much less stress it was than to do that all myself, I would absolutely consider doing this again. Thank you for the great experience!

An excellent holiday delivered by a top rate company.

All went perfect. We travel a lot and were very well surprised by the organisation and overall quality as all was according to schedule and agreed quality. 

Could not have asked for more, was a truly wonderful vacation and having it all planned out was so nice and relaxing, took the stress away so we could enjoy the beauty of the country. Good job to all!   

Larus made the whole experience of organising the holiday very enjoyable.  We are not seasoned travellers but this experience has given me no doubt in using Nordic Visitor again to book a holiday in the future to another Nordic destination.

I knew quite a bit about Iceland but this tour exceeded our expectations with its diversity in what it offered us. Spectacular and so well organized

Lárus was an excellent tour advisor. He was quick to provide a response to any questions I had and I found him to be very accommodating regarding my requests. Iceland is a destination unlike any of the others we have visited. Given the remote nature of parts of the country and the possibility of weather related issues I found the service that Nordic Visitor provided enabled us to enjoy our adventure freely with a minimum of anxiety. I am extremely satisfied with the service that I received from Lárus and Nordic Visitor.

All of the hotels were perfect! It was a pleasure to work with Annie. She made arrangements for an extra 5 night stay. We had a wonderful trip thanks to her. We couldn't have done the driving without the GPS in the rental car.

Couldn't fault it.  Everything was very well organised.  Nothing was too much trouble for Helga.  She arranged birthday surprise for Martin upon arrival.  She booked additional food tour for us too.  We had a fantastic time and Nordic Visitor (and Helga) helped make it so.

We normally make all our own bookings when travelling, however were very pleased with the Nordic Visitor package. The suggested route and highlights were all spot on, and there were no issues whatsoever with any of the bookings. It all went very smoothly and allowed us to concentrate on seeing the sights :)

The hotels included in our packages were fantastic.  Lovely, well kept, clean rooms; helpful , accomodating staff.  All the breakfasts we had were great, good selection.  Annie was so great to work with.  She promptly answered any email requests/questions with very helpful information.  Very personal service.

Everything from the booking process to the actual trip was amazing! 

Our travel consultant Klara helped set the stage for a wonderful vacation. We're extremely appreciative of her professionalism, warm personality and quick response to all of our questions and concerns.

I would recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends to travel in Iceland. I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to a daily friend.

Our Nordic Visitor agent, Silja was extremely professional and very responsive.  Her communication skills were excellent and was very accommodating to our changes and special requests

Nothing matches the local knowledge and back up that you provide especially in unexpected circumstances. When we visited you offices at the end of our journey (to return the mobile phone) we were so impressed  with the lengths that NV were going to assist people that were stranded due to Highway 1 being blocked. We will be singing your praises for years to come.

I was initially skeptical of what kind of service we were going to be getting, but everything, top to bottom, was very professional and well put together.  We didn't have much communication with Dagny, but after having met her in person, we felt like we could ask anything of her.  We were really regretful that we didn't get to visit the Nordic Visitor office on our last day to give a video review, and to thank her in person.

I found Nordic Visitor to be an extremely organised and professional company. I have met other New Zealanders who have found the same great service. Klara was great to deal with and we got a lot of great information about the holiday. 

We were very happy with our whole experience with Nordic Visitor.  Everything was laid out very well with no hitches.  Everything was timely.  Distances suggested to travel each day gave us plenty of time to see all the beautiful places we had chosen to see. The overall experience was exceptional!

Just wonderful! We really enjoyed our trip and credit Nordic Visitor for such an amazing stay! Thank you again!

We had a great time, and our experience with Nordic Visitor was excellent. We will highly recommend you to our friends who are visiting the countries you cover.

Excellent, all the way round!

This was the first time we had used this type of service as we usually do all our travel planning and bookings ourselves. It took the stress and worry out of our trip and so we had a much improved experience of 'drive yourself'. We found we could relax and enjoy our holiday and we maximised our time in country. We were very happy with all arrangements made by Maria and had NO ISSUES at any venue - suberb. We will definitely do this again in the future as our experience was so positive. Thank you!

Outstanding. Very pleased with the personal touch.

I have already recommended you to many!! We traveled with a tour following this trip and it wasn't nearly as good. I told several people about you on that tour and they were totally interested. Having the experience of your company behind us totally gave us the confidence to self drive and we are already looking at other tours using your services!!! Loved working AEvar!!!

Overall, a great experience. I loved the convenience of having everything booked for me by the people who know Iceland best and I enjoyed the recommendations for hidden gems I may have otherwise missed. 

We cannot speak too highly of the quality of service, attention to detail and the ongoing follow up and support provided by Margret. She is sensational and we would always encourage any friends to request her services. We travel extensively and have never previously experienced such wonderful and mindful support. Nothing was ever a problem

We had a very good experience. Having a representative at the car rental office was great. We were able to get the information we needed from her to get started. The maps and guides were great resources for the trip. Overall we are very pleased with Nordic Visitor. The planning and local support were great.

Want to thank my Nordic advisor for all her help & willingness to answer all of my questions no matter how silly or trivial they might have been. It was a wonderful experience.

We were very pleased with our experience using Nordic Visitor. Everything went smoothly, the accomodations were comfortable and clean, and the transportation services excellent. Thank you, Sindre!  We truly enjoyed our time in Norway seeing your beautiful country!

I just wanted to say that everything was fantastic. I never had to worry about our rooms or traveling in an unfamiliar country because you guys took care of everything. I was particularly thankful for the map with the highlights. We used it every night when we started planning out our stops for the next day. The suggested sights and activities were always helpful. We never would have heard of it, but after seeing "The Eggs of Merry Bay" written in on our map, we looked it up, made the stop, and it was so worth it. We were so glad to have the other suggestions, like the farm in Efstidalur, for good local food (and ice cream) when we were out sightseeing.

Excellent job is all I can say.  In planning my email questions were answered promptly and "with a smile" by Gudmunda Palmadottir. What can I say, she is fantastic.

Very well planned and everything easy to understand great experience many thanks

We have used Nordic Visitor for trips to Iceland and Norway.  I very much appreciate the work that they do to set it all up for us.

Thank you to Sara for her help before our tour. All four of us in my party had a lovely time!

I was so impressed by Nordic Visitor - the service felt so personal (we loved the handwritten notes on our map!) without every being amateur or unprofessional. Everything was really clear, well organised and done with such friendliness!

Thank you for making our holiday so memorable. It was a pleasure doing business with your company.

Well organised, felt secure in knowing that you were only a phone call away if needed.

A trip we will remember for long long time.

We really enjoyed our trip and will keep Nordic Visitor in mind if we travel abroad again

My wife and I had the time of our lives on our trip through Nordic Visitor. Everyone we talk to about our trip, we find a way to work in your company to the conversation and recommend you to them. Klara was AMAZING leading up to our trip, and we really wish we had the chance to come by the office to chat and personally thank you for such a great trip. We will be back again, and will most definitely be traveling with Nordic Visitor!

We are very happy with the service Nordic Visitor (and Hanna specifically) provided. We would never have had the time to plan everything so well in advance, and it made the trip very easy and enjoyable! Thank you!

Sindre is great to work with! We had done some research and were having a bit to trouble understanding fully how to go about booking a brewery tour or what flexibility we might have. He helped us navigate through to booking this! To be completely honest that tour was why we chose Svalbard so helping to confirm that made our trip a huge success! Thank you! That little bit of extra service is hugely appreciated and does not go unnoticed!

I really like that I have an assigned agent for my trip booked with Nordic Visitor. As our plane arrived late at Copenhagen airport, I didn't see the limousine drive holding a sign with my name and got worried. I sent an email to my agent, and was informed right away that she had called the limousine service and told me the exact location the drive was waiting. I found the driver and started to relax and enjoy my first trip to Scandinavia. The upgrade to the first class train ride from Stockholm to Copenhagen really enhanced the journey. The detailed itineraries reminded us things to do and suggested attractions to visit. The overall experience with Nordic Visitor is simply awesome.

The self-drive tour was wonderful for us. It meant that we did not have to plan ourselves, and were advised of the best things to see along the way. However we still had the freedom to chose other things. All the accommodation was fantastic. Friendly welcoming staff/hosts and great food.

Wonderful experience. Initially we were concerned about "internet booking" vs our usual face-to-face travel agent booking. But dealing with Nordic Visitor was a great experience. Your people and processes and procedures worked great!

We chose Iceland for our honeymoon, and were NOT disappointed!  It was all fabulous! You expect a few hiccups when traveling out of the country and this is the first time I hadn't made all the arrangements myself.. but I was so pleasantly surprised by how well everything went!  Great Job Helga!! 

Everything went very well on our tour. There were no issues with bookings and the hotels used were well located and good.

We are still talking about our experience to everyone who will listen! We have been to Iceland two previous times (in November) but this time we wanted to experience springtime in Iceland. It exceeded our expectations, and as we were already in love with your country that was hard to do. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, and as first time travelers of the ring road your organization set up our itinerary so that we didn't have to worry about a thing except having fun. All the hotels and sights to see were planned out on our map and in our travel guide book, and anything we needed to know was in our packet! Something that was out of your control but played an important part in our unforgettable adventure was that the weather was sunny and warm everyday! We have experienced Iceland in all types of weather and it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves immensely but the sunshine was an added bonus!

Very quick to answer all of my questions with friendly informative replies Choices of varied accommodation was wonderful - loved the guesthouses. Daily driving time was perfect between destinations- not too long or too short. Excellent planning - well done.

We had a wonderful time! Our accommodations were very good and loved the wonderful breakfast every morning. We didn't feel rushed and people were so willing to help us and give us advice. 

Being in Iceland tantalized my senses and gave me a broader appreciation of Mother Nature. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us. It seems everyone from the US is going there!

Excellent service and a well organised trip. The ease of getting about was further helped by the amazingly good English spoken by almost everyone we interacted with, even in the more remote areas of the country.  I'd happily travel with Nordic Visitor again, and indeed hope to at some stage.

We really loved this trip and all your help. Your suggestions were always great. The fact that you called a hotel to make last minute arrangements and then called us to explain, was so appreciated. We were lucky we were able to drive the pass (although I think we were the last car to do that for 2+ days). I can't say enough about our trip, all your help, and of course the country of Iceland.We are so looking forward to coming back after October.

This is my second booking without Notdic Visitor, and I am even more impressed at how customised Ævar was able to make our tour. He accommodated everything we wanted to do, and it was so easy dealing with him. Everything on the trip was absolutely fantastic. The only thing we wanted was more time!! 

Kolbrun arranged for us to have an extra night in Oslo before beginning our tour. The train ride from Oslo to Bergen was terrific. We had time in each city to see the sites and thoroughly enjoyed the cruise aboard the Hurtigruten MS Nordkapp. Two of the highlights were seeing a spectacular display of the Northern Lights and experiencing the dog sledding in Tromso. We definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to others.

The web site was our first experience of Nordic Visitors it was slick , informative and easy to follow. This initial experience carried on through our trip.

I had a two day weather delay in Iceland getting to Greenland, and Dagny my travel consultant was fantastic! She made sure that I knew what was happening with the airline, helped to make arrangements with the hotel, and made great suggestions for things for me to do while waiting on a flight. The second day you even sent me to a massage, which was greatly appreciated! 

We were blown away by the service. The champagne and chocolates was a nice touch, too! Everything was communicated very efficiently, and with total transparency! Nothing to regret, even if we had to cut it short by a day of driving, we wouldn't have changed a thing about our visit. This was my second time to Iceland, first time with Nordic Visitor, and it most definitely won't be our last (on both accounts)! We were actually looking at other tours from Nordic Visitor, while driving back into Reykjavik. We both want to do the ring road, eventually, and we will definitely be booking with Nordic Visitor again!  Auður was amazing, and as I said before, we firmly believe she went above and beyond! Takk fyrir!

We were very impressed with the whole trip. The hotels were great. Travel documents all ready at the train station for us. Really enjoyed the trip and look forward to doing another one in the future.

The whole tour was an experience that cannot be faulted. Thank you.

My daughter and I had an excellent time in Kiruna during the Chinese New Year. I would like to thank Sofia Sundkvist who assisted us throughout the trip. She is very responsive and accomodating. We slightly changed our plans and she always quickly responded to me by email and helped us with what we needed.  Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to meet her in person, but all the people (from Nordic Visitor) whom we met throughout this trip are excellent people. They always carry a smile, happy with what they are doing, experienced and knowledgeable.  

Margret is an absolute superstar. She was attentive and fully understood my needs.  The trip I bought was a surprise and it went without a hitch; her attention to detail was excellent, her service was personal and friendly, and as a representative of Nordic Visitor she is outstanding. I will be recommending Nordic Visitor to everyone I know who is seeking a great service in the areas you look after, and I will be using you guys again in the future. Thank you for making our Icelandic trip unforgettable. 

Nordic Visitor exceeded our expectations for booking and travel in Iceland. We were well informed prior to even going on our trip about what to expect and how to plan for our travels. We were encouraged to ask questions about any concerns that we had, and we were given very timely responses in return. Documents were emailed to us in advance regarding highlights and suggested activities. We were even sent documents on how to prepare for unexpected weather conditions and driving the ring road. Everything was paid for in advance, and all we had to do was show our vouchers for taxi services, rental car, accommodations, etc. Nordic Visitor made sure that we were well prepared and gave us temporary mobile phone usage, and provided us with maps and atlases that highlighted our accommodations and suggested travel routes. We absolutely do plan to book many more vacations with Nordic Visitor, and would highly recommend their services.

From booking to arrival, accommodations, and travel, this was an amazing trip! Can't wait to come back and experience more of Iceland!

Great experience working with your company

I was pleased with our accommodation, in particular the deluxe rooms, but it was a good experience to stay in different levels of accommodation depending on the location. The service and friendliness of all our hosts, servers, tourist info staff, etc was one of the highlights of this Icelandic experience. Everyone we met was so helpful and kind. I will definitely recommend Iceland and Nordic Visitor to my friends. Worry free holiday, we were able to enjoy the self drive tour knowing every detail had been taken care of by Nordic Visitor.

Overall we were very pleased with the quality of the accommodations.  The itinerary that was built for our trip was very well planned leaving enough time to explore the areas we were travelling as well as having sufficient time to find our nightly accommodations.  For the most part we ate in restaurants located in the local areas as opposed to the hotels as some of the menus were very restrictive in selection.  Breakfasts provided at the accommodations were fresh and lots of variety.  Visited local museums but did not book any extra activities (whale watching, guided tours) as we prefer to explore on our own.

We had an amazing trip! It was so well curated! All of the destinations were thoughtful both in terms of location and distance traveled during the day. The sightseeing suggestions in the tour guide were excellent. The hotels and guest houses were all wonderful - comfortable and full of character. To put together a trip like this on our own would have required weeks of online research and we never would have been able to achieve something this perfect! Thank you so much for a great trip!

My only question is: Why is there not an "Excellent" option? Our holiday was most excellent in every way...! From my first email enquiry regarding the tour to the last minute of our holiday every aspect was excellent. Cecilia made the whole planning experience smooth and seamless, and the tour itself was most excellent. Wow! What an incredible job Nordic Visitor does! We felt so spoilt because everything had been done for us... all we needed to do was drive and have fun. This was an incredible tour and I can't speak highly enough about the slick operation Nordic Visitor runs. Highly, highly recommended!
