I had such a great timeline of my best travel experiences by far. thank you!

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

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

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.

Nordic Visitor is very organized, and a very exceptional value. Great way to experience a most unique country.

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.

Silja was wonderful helping to plan and customize our holiday. I told her what our interests were and we were so very fortunate to have Asmunder Thorvaldsson with Amazing Tours as our driver/guide. Silja told us our guide would be able to show us extra things and answer questions. He took our itinerary and planned each day's activities to provide us with a wonderful experience.

We were extremely pleased with all aspects of our tour. We had no problems or concerns. 

Very good experience. Annie was very good at answering questions and getting everything we wanted. She did a great job.

We were very impressed with Nordic Visitor. Communication before the visit was very good and the experience went entirely as planned. The itinerary was great and we saw a lot of the south coast in a small amount of time. We would love to come back and see more of Iceland one day.

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!

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!

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.

"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 Pepperell 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.

Big thanks to Klara for all her help! Much appreciated. I am recommending to my friends to use Nordic Visitor to help them with their travel arrangements to Iceland.

This was my second trip with Nordic Visitor, and the quick responses, willingness to help you get all you need to have the best possible vacation make Nordic Visitor a reliable, delightful travel partner in Scandinavia. 

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!!!

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.

You did a fabulous job, considering we gave you very little time to prepare the itinerary, in high season. Sindre Matthiasson was excellent. 

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. 

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. 

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.

Everything and everybody was excellent. Thanks again!

The guest houses were all fantastic and were gems that we would not have known about had we booked on our own.   Another nice element was that the car rental had 100% fully inclusive insurance-  that was a huge benefit and much appreciated.  Have already recommended NV once from our Iceland trip, (which generated a booking for you!) and will absolutely recommend again.  Christoph was also wonderful-  did a fantastic job in customizing the trip for us (comb of 2 trips), and was also quick to respond and communicate via email.  We will definitely book again- the only negative is that the time went by too quickly!  

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

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.

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.

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!

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. 

Thank you for a wonderful experience

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.

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.

It was an extremely well planned tour, the mapping was clear and distances reasonable. And the sights unforgettable especially the troll road. Accommodations were very good.

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'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. 

I'm so glad I booked the trip with Nordic Visitor. Norway is spectacular in itself, but have such a knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide made the trip so much easier and enjoyable.

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.

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

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.

Great tour! The accommodations were really nice.

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!! 

The places we stayed were delightful. We felt we experienced a range of well chosen accommodations, with very friendly staff and excellent food. In particular, we really enjoyed Hotel 13?in Bergen and Hotel Union in Geraingerfjord. 

We could not have asked for a better travel agent! When my wife developed an emergency medical problem and we had to delay our trip by 3 days, Petra made all the adjustments without skipping a beat! She secured refunds on everything that she could.

Did Iceland Full Circle in 2015 and Hidden Gems this year. Will book with you for sure if and when we go on anorher Scandinavian tour. Have recommended you to multiple friends already. Thanks again!

Nordic Visitor is an excellent company and we are VERY satisfied with our travel experience.

The trip was superb and the redoing of our itinerary because of the weather was seamless which we appreciated greatly.  

The overall experience exceeded our expectations.  We loved the attention to detail.  Annie obviously understood what type of planning we wanted.  We were able to be spontaneous if we saw something that we wanted to include.  Many of the owners of accommodations told us how happy they were to be working with Nordic Visitors.  The travel guide was sturdy, survived the trip in one piece, even served as a plate for our lunches eaten in the car as we would return from a walk.  We took scotch tape along to mend the map, it's pretty big to handle in the car.  And a highlighter to add stops and reminders to help us when we start putting our pictures together.  But, the travel guide will be the most helpful when it comes to putting our travel album together.  

The places we stayed at were so very nice.  I don't know how we would rank them.  The owners were so very nice and helpful.  Giving us directions and making recommendations on dinners and even making reservations for us.  The locations of the accommodations were usually within walking distance of village centers.  Picking up our rental car was speedy and well organized.  A new car was ready for us and they took the time to go over key points of the car.

I just can't say enough about how amazing Nordic Visitor made our experience. We truly had the best vacation of our lives, and could just enjoy it thanks to everything being taken care of by you all. Kristin's customer service has been exceptional-she was a delight to work with. I can't say enough good things, so thank you!

Thank you for the trip I had been wanting to take since I was about 10 years old (and I'm 71 now). This was the perfect way for us to see your beautiful country. I hope to return some day to see the things we missed. 

After this wonderful experience, I plan on returning to Iceland soon. I will also definitely keep Nordic Visitor in mind for future travels. I loved all the accommodations and meals and sights!

After doing a lot of searching and reading online through various tour companies this was by far the most complete with the most combination of activities that I wanted. Normally, I book everything on my own to try and save money where I can, but having the logistics and bookings handled by someone else was a big relief given such a huge schedule and amount of ground to be covered. Communication was very good, all questions answered and I was taken care of very well.  Tried my hand at the photo of the month contest offered and was lucky enough to win it. Very cool experience and very happy with everything. Would definitely recommend to others and be ready to book more adventures for myself when the time comes. Thank you!

Excellent experience. If you have tours to other countries I will certainly use you again. Keep me posted! Thank you.

The holiday was amazing, we loved it so much and both want to move to Iceland!  we fell in love with the country completely.  we had such a great experience booking through Nordic Visitor that I have already been recommending you to friends and colleagues.

We enjoyed our experience and would go on another Nordic Visitor trip.

I can't thank you enough for your help!  The tours were amazing and the ease of planning the trip was wonderful.  You gave us a trip if a lifetime and memories to cherish!

Everything was superb. Both my girlfriend and I were delighted with every aspect of the trip, from the booking, all the way through to the accommodation, transfers, and activities. Utterly perfect

The trip was absolutely amazing and we had the time of our lives.  Everything that Nordic Visitor arranged went perfectly and we had no issues whatsoever.  The organization and professionalism of every aspect of the trip was remarkable!  Can't praise Nordic Visitor and Hanna Lara, in particular, enough!

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. 

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.

The booking process was easy and very comprehensive. We received our documents in plenty of time to view our options for visiting sites while on the trip . Sindre was always prompt in answering any e mail questions we had prior to our departure . Rental car pick up was a breeze as the location for pick up was less than three blocks from our hotel in Oslo. The hotel choices were superior.

Everything was perfect. Our tour guide, Gunner Birgisson, was awsom. He anticipated all our needs and had a wonderful sense of humor. The information and stories he provided all the way were amazing and most of the time hilarious. Will definitely book other trips through Nordic Visitor again.

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.

We were very pleased with the service provided by our travel consultant, Sofia. She was very prompt in replying to all our queries. We enjoyed the itinerary where different experiences were offered - various train rides and cruises.The hotels were good, all centrally located and spacious with very good breakfasts provided. Everything is planned for with detailed information, maps and vouchers. All we needed to do was present ourselves at the various venues. We felt assured that there is someone who knows our plans and who we could call upon should we require any assistance. I would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone who wants to go Scandinavia on a free-and-easy yet have all the hassle of planning taken care of.

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.

The hotels gave 110% i couldn't have asked for more. The people where so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable of their area of both road conditions, the sights especially the local gems. I so wish Iceland was my home.

I've booked a self driving tour of Iceland with the Nordic Visitor for the first time and was the best holiday decision ever. The consultant was professional and accommodated all our requests. Everything from activities, accommodation and transport was organised perfectly for us to enjoy. The choice of hotels and the recommendations on the route came in handy. We loved every moment of our holiday.

Excellent Company and Excellent Service!

From the start we can say nothing other than to praise the efforts of Nordic Visitor. We did the ten day self driven tour and we're delighted with the service and the attention to detail from the get-go. We were met at Reykjavik Airport having sailed to Iceland from Denmark and then flew to Reykjavil.

The hotels, the hire car and all that went with it was excellent. Even when one hotel found themselves embarrassed at their booking error, the next hotel was an upgrade. Presumably as compensation. 

Other folk travelling with Nordic on our trip had similar good tales to tell. Loved the mobile phone and GPS that we had as well as the fuel discount cards. 

Well done everyone involved.

I think that the hotel selections were great as all were centrally located and upscale. Overall, the entire itinerary was well arranged.

Top marks to Kolbrún who was excellent, well informed and gave advice which was much appreciated.

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.

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

We would very much like to thank Petra for all her help with the tour.  We were very keen to stay in Trondheim for our last night and Petra/Nordic Visitor did everything they could to achieve this. This was much appreciated.  Everything about the tour was well thought out and considered and made our stay very enjoyable.  

Thank you for help us to have an absolutely amazing time in Norway. A stunning country that we were able to fully experience thanks to your package that pre booked accommodation and transfer. Far less stressful that I thought it would be...

Highly efficient from start to finish. Thankyou.

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.

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.

Travel from stations to hotel was quite easy. Should highlight. We didn't need to walk far or pay for service. Meals were spectacular. Hotel breakfasts were full on brunch fare in the USA that would have cost a lot.

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.

The tour was amazing and let me see Norway in a way that I had not imagined. The hotel personnel were very helpful, and the breakfasts were amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the fjord tour from Flam to Gudvangen. It was a great tour.

From booking to the final date of the tour, everything was great. Thank you for an amazing experience.

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

Norway was simply spectacularly beautiful!  Thank you for making our arrangements so easy!  Sara was great to work with.

Everything was well organised and ran smoothly.

The whole service was excellent. Kolbrun kept us informed beforehand of the arrangements she was making and answered our queries promptly and clearly. All the timings and arrangements worked out with no complications leading to a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

We had a great holiday and we were delighted with all the arrangements that Nordic Visitor made for us which all went to plan. We had never heard of Nordic Visitor before we booked but found them on the Internet when we were researching holidays to Iceland. We particularly liked the opportunity to contact our consultant on a toll free number in advance to discuss our requirements. The consultant was able to adapt the tour in the brochure to meet our needs and was very prompt in contacting us with a bespoke itinerary and a quote.  We were very pleased with the documentation we received on arrival. The map of Iceland and the itinerary were particularly useful, especially with suggestions for activities. We had said that we were interested in hiking and we were given ideas on potential areas to explore.

Thank goodness for the phone that was provided! That was great. We had no bad experiences!  Wonderful staff at all locations.

We totally enjoyed our trip. The map with all the details on it was so helpful. We espescially liked the extra comments like "great homemade ice cream" (it was great!). With all the information in our itinerary as well as the "Icelands Highlights" portion of the "book" we were able to see almost every item in them. You have an absolutely amazing country & with your help we were able to enjoy all of it. We travelled with ease. When talking to some other people who were doing it on their own we realized how much they were missing & how happy we were that we had you to show us the way!  We have already recommended Nordic Visitor to friends who are thinking of going to Iceland now that we have told them how beautiful it is. We did tell them "dress warm"! :)

We specifically requested guesthouses rather than hotels for our stay as we felt it would be a better way to meet Icelanders. We were not disappointed. The hosts were all friendly, engaging, and a delight to talk with.  The accommodations ranged from newly constructed to buildings more than 100 years old.  Many buildings were re-purposed from their original use to accommodations for travellers which was rewarding to see. All the the accommodations were licenced which is a measure of ensured quality.  All were clean, quiet and provided excellent breakfasts. The car rental was without hitches. When booking the tour we upgraded the car from economy to compact (a Citroen Cactus) as from our driving experience in northern Canada we knew a larger car is better on some roads.  We made the right choice and our overall experience with the car was very positive.  The vouchers supplied by Nordic Visitor were all recognised by the service providers. Our reservations had all been made and no difficulties were encountered.

I would like to thank Hafdis for her assistance in our trip planning. Her patience and prompt replies to our queries prior to the trip was very much appreciated, and the optional ideas she offered were helpful. We enjoyed meeting her personally at Nordic Visitor HQ on our return to Reykjavik, to share some of our experiences. In general, we were pleased and impressed with the trip planning and the travel package that Nordic put together to make our road trip so relaxing and enjoyable. Every detail was looked after. The voucher system worked efficiently at hotel check-in, shuttle services and anywhere else ticketing was needed. Thanks NV for a great Icelandic experience .... now, if only you had control over the weather :-) Cheers from west coast Canada.

Over all the tour was amazing. We were able to modify the 7 day tour to 9 day tour. At our face to face meeting, we discussed the Blue Lagoon and decided it was best to go there on the last day on the way to the airport. This was taken care  of right away away, Our vouchers were emailed and printed at the hotel for us. Excellent service.

Overall the whole experience was perfect. You took the stress away of laying out out route and suggested options. We used the map, the GPS and the road guides often. We reviewed them each night to plan the next day. Having a car and a place to stay looked after made it very easy and flexible for us. We loved all the places booked for us. It was fantastic they offered breakfast for us. We would definitely use your services again some day and recommend to anyone considering a relaxing self drive vacation in Iceland.  The roads in Iceland were far better than I had envisioned.   Cheers,  Singer,

The entire experience was fabulous.  Having everything organized and written out by day was great.  Each day was fantastic. Providing the GPS coordinates was brilliant.

Our trip was made so easy because everything was beautifully organized for us. It was a fabulous experience. Each of the destinations was magnificent and we also did many of the suggested additional recommendations. We would not have seen as much without the tour. Also, the hotel arrangements were terrific, and the voucher system made checking in very easy. Thank you! We will be back!

We simply loved our journey . Scandinavia was splendid .  The only thing is the cost of living and the exchange value of our canadian dollar. But we were aware of this . Sofia made a perfect job to customize the tour and it the communications were easy and fast. Thank you very much Sofia !

Day tours were excellent, guide and service was excellent

Lapland is beautiful.  We were able to see the midnight sun because of nordic visitor they have planned our tour very well and the local guides were very co operative.

We used Larus at Nordic Visitors to arrange a weeklong tour of Reykjavik and the Southern Coast of Iceland. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the services--and we have traveled extensively throughout the world. Larus was extremely responsive to our inquiries and tailored the perfect trip for us that allowed us to enjoy the country's beautiful scenery and to do a lot of great hiking. The travel plans were flawless--from the transfer at the airport, to the rental car and to the charming hotels he booked for us. In fact, he even recommended stops along our itinerary for homemade ice cream! We would definitely use Nordic Visitor again for another trip to Iceland.

We took their 17 day Grand Tour of Iceland. And they took care of our every want and need. From pre-planning to the last day of our visit, Nordic Visitor provided all of the assistance we needed. There is no other way to see the entire country and travel in the style to which you are accustomed. We stayed in the best hotels around the Island. We enjoyed our SUV with all-wheel drive. We visited all of the sights that we wanted to see. They provide you with a loaner cellphone so that you can contact them at any point on your trip to get their help... And we never used it. We had a detailed map with our route outlined, a gps that we used all the time, and other literature on the sights to see. We drove 2,000 miles over 17 days and, other than the roads, enjoyed every mile and every change of scenery. We plan to return to Iceland in winter to see the Northern Lights and we will use Nordic Visitor to plan our visit.

Best way to enjoy the amazing scenery of Iceland. Nordic Visitor's self-guided tour provides the car, hotels and useful tips. They do everything to make the journey trouble free, easy and convenient. The hotel chosen were interesting and the tips on what to see were outstanding.

"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." 

Sofia was great.  She responded quickly to my questions and provided all the information needed for my tour.  The hotels booked were in the perfect location and were above average.  All the transportation booked was also outstanding.  We did not have any problems with the logistics of the trip. I am very appreciative of the expertise Sofia used when booking my tour. Again, thanks to Sophia for the great tour and exceptional customer service!

A really fabulous start to my Scandinavian adventure and the nutshell tour set the scene!  Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay in all of the accommodations!  Everything was very clean and comfortable!  All of the tours we participated in were well run. The staff were very friendly and professional!

Special thanks to Lárus for making sure everything was ready for our arrival!  His email replies were always timely and informative! Thanks for making our trip to Iceland so unforgettable!  We both hope to return!

Very high standard keep it up

Sjofn did a great job.  I know we didn't give her a lot of lead time and she was able to give us great accommodations.  All papers were in order. She let us know about the road problems.  For us, the Itinerary book was very nice but didn't have to be such high quality. (Black/white would have been fine.)  Could have used a heavier paper for the Iceland map which we used everyday. We had a wonderful time in Iceland. Beautiful country.

All of the guesthouses that we stayed at were amazing (most notably Guesthouse Nonni, Hrifunes Guesthouse, and Gest-Inn Guesthouse). Everything was perfectly planned and laid out for us, with the independence to choose which activities we wanted to do each day.

Helga was a wonderful correspondent and went above and beyond to make sure that our trip was stress-free. She answered all of our many questions and made us feel extremely prepared.

All the guest houses were unique and we enjoyed each for different reasons. Having things marked on the map was helpful, as well as the GPS in the car...Have already recommended to others. Raved about your service, the quickness in responding to questions, and how it was all planned, we only had to show up on time. I have dreamed of doing this vacation for about 20 years. It was better than I ever dreamed. Thank you.

All hotels were great, and we seemed to have the best rooms they had available...I emailed Helga many times, asking questions, getting information and then tweaking the itinerary. Every time she replied it was prompt and couteous, full of helpful hints and tips and she was paramount in the success of our holiday. I am only sorry that I didn't have enough time in Reykjavik to come into the office and thank her personally. I think your company is great and would recommend it to anyone.  Your staff are well-trained and that makes all the difference.

The accommodation all nights was good, clean and with a friendly welcome...Whale watching was amazing, we saw a blue whale and a humpback and when travelling around the fjords we saw a minke whale, we were so lucky. The drive up to Bakkagerdi was worth it as the puffins were so close.  The trip to vigur island was great, more puffins and so many eider ducks, friendly people and lovely refreshments. Food although expensive was good quality and we catered for ourselves some nights as you don't always want to eat out. The scenery was amazing, exceeded expectations.  On the whole an amazing holiday that all went well, if a bit nervy at times when driving through high mountain passes when it was snowing.

All went well, the tour booking process, car hire, accommodation and transfers all worked like clockwork, thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would book with Nordic visitor again.

We came from half-way around the world. It was very comforting to know that everything was well arranged.

Dear Helena, We are now back home in England. I just wanted to say thank you from me and Rosie for organising our holiday so efficiently. We had the most wonderful time and we were quite sad to leave! I think we have fallen in love with Norway! All the hotels and excursions were really good and we loved the snowmobile and dog sledding. The Snow Hotel was amazing. The Trollfjord trip was incredible also. And we saw the northern lights 3 times! This was quite possibly the best holiday we gave ever had. So thanks once again, it was a pleasure to be looked after so well by you.

Everything went very smoothly and with great ease! Being greeted by the chauffer and shiny black Mercedes in Copenhagen and driven to the Scandic Palace Hotel right in the city centre was a real treat. Thank you. I am very glad to have chosen Nordic Visitor because you are based in these wonderful Nordic Countries and I wanted to experience local culture. Many thanks to Cecilia for helping us to achieve this.

The hotels chosen were lovely, and all the transportation worked without a hitch. Very well organizd.

After completing the self drive tour I realized I did not have to worry for any logistics issues as back of my mind I was rest assured about 24/7 support from your office and you folks literally mean it. You have a great team. Keep doing the good job.

We are very pleased with our tour guide, Trausti. He is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating.  We are also, very happy that we were able to take this tour and thank Nordic Visitor for being accomodating as well. My sister and her husband are planning to visit Iceland next year and they will be booking with you.

Trip was really well organised. Solveig was so helpful and arranged everything so I could just enjoy being on holiday with my sons. Perfect! And the weather was amazing too which helped!

Hotel Choice was excellent, best hotel I have stayed in and the best breakfast as well. The tours/excursions that were picked/included were very good, especially the Northern lights tour with Arctic Fishing Tours. They took you in a mini bus away from the weather into Finland to get good skies, provided warm weather gear, tripods, took you snow shoeing, took your photos with the lights on their camera and put them in a drop box for collection later along with a map of where you went and you got dinner as well. Very good experience much better than going on an over crowded coach style tour....My travel consultant Sara was excellent and provided very good service.

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

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.

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.

Tour leaders are very experienced and gave us as much to enjoy as they possibly could.

We booked through Nordic Visitor and they organised the activities with Kiruna Tourism and we had an amazing trip, meet at the airport -23 C, deck out in clothing which we kept for the 4 days, transported around, good hotel and had great guides who were welcoming, knowledgeable and communicative. Couldn't ask for anything more, Went snow walking, dog sledding, visited Abisko viewing station, Ice hotel and Sami Village.

All of my activities and accommodations were wonderful! 

Excellent all the way around. Kolbrun gave me great information to prepare for my first arctic trip and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely use Nordic Visitor again for my travels. I cannot say enough great things about Nordic Visitor.... 

Nordic Visitor was a very efficient way to book our vacation. The website was easy to navigate and gave all important information needed for us to decide on which trip to take. It was helpful that it included the tours, hotels and travel all in one package. Everything went smoothly and we had no problems at all with our trip. The tours and places (and order) that were chosen in the package were exceptional! The travel agent we consulted with our questions was helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. I would highly recommend using Nordic Visitor to plan your vacation!

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.

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.

Everything was AWESOME!!! We felt very prepared to travel around Iceland on our own. The communication prior to the trip was very thorough and our detailed itinerary was well organized and very detailed—we even stopped for the homemade ice cream. All the vouchers were very clear and easy to use. We had an incredible vacation visiting an incredible country. We were 100% satisfied with the whole experience- from the day we booked to the day we arrived back in the US. We love Nordic Visitor!

Very happy. Iceland is expensive for us but it was worth every cent! Have already recommended Nordic Visitor to a number of fellow travellers and friends. You should be proud of the service you offer.

Because it was necessary to change the dates of the Extra Services (cultural walks/boat trips/etc) of our prepaid tour; we were not adequately dressed for the boat trip thru the icebergs. This was only due to time limitations after arriving from our Iceland flight. Otherwise, everything was wonderful; especially our beautiful view at Hotel Artic!!!!! Erlas Sonja was very nice to work with; we had no issues with any vouchers. Many thanks for making our adventure to Greenland a truly memorable and treasured trip. Our experience was a very positive one. Got your contact from an article in International Travel News written by someone we had met on a trip to Svalbard with several years earlier.

...Although we had to cut our trip short, we thoroughly enjoyed our travels and we immersed ourselves in the many natural beauties of Iceland. We have already praised your company and the services you provide and we will continue to promote Nordic Visitor as we share photos and travel stories with friends. THANK YOU ALL!

We had a fantastic holiday all round and are very likely to return. The information supplied by Nordic Visitor concerning the volcanic activity was very timely and helpful too. For us the self-guided tour worked perfectly.

From start to finish, it was a very easy experience and we got from the trip exactly what we were expecting and more in most cases. Very well planned...we appreciated all the effort that was made to make our trip enjoyable and memorable. Special thanks to our agent Gudrun who provided us with the package details and answered my questions prior to booking and during our trip.

Ozkan is a mountain guide in Turkey so he is very aware of the preparation needed to enable a smooth trip of the sort we experienced. We both felt the service we received was outstanding. We did not use the GPS that came with the hire car because with the quality of the maps and information provided there was no need. All the places we stayed were very welcoming, very clean and the breakfasts, especially the bread, were often outstanding. We were also very lucky with the weather but doubtless that is beyond your control! 

We would just like to say thank you for your superb organisation, excellent provision of information and selection of places to stay that helped us to have an outstanding holiday. Binlerce teşekkürler (a thousand thank you)!

We were very impressed with all the areas of Norway that we saw. Everything was clean, convenient and friendly.

Really enjoyed the historic hotels. Everyone was friendly. Easy to work with Bjarni. He made excellent choices for our hotels. Everything went smoothly.

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.

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 Ósk Snorradóttir. 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.

I was very pleased with the whole experience. My thanks to Kolbrun who was always quick to reply to my emails and questions. She was very helpful throughout. I liked the hotels selected and the locations they were in. Overall the holiday was a great success and I am sure at some stage we will book another holiday through yourselves.

The map provided to us highlighting the route and where the hotels were located, as well as attractions, was extremely helpful. The itinerary was well planned and we never felt rushed. We really enjoyed your wonderful country!

The help that Nordic Visitor gave helped us to make this trip wonderful and relaxing experience. The planning was done in advance and the time available at each place was sufficient enough to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Am very impressed by the prompt and detailed replies from Sigfus and his arrangements. Highlighted maps and itinerary gave us assurance and his excellent service met our expectations. We are especially pleased with our accommodation, with each of its own uniqueness from a refreshing stay in a refurbished container with the view of the glacier to a quaint guesthouse overlooking the prairie with Icelandic horses.

Booking with Nordic Visitor took out a lot of the stress with traveling, such as booking hotels and which routes to take. Having a trusted company that is in the country takes the guess work out of accommodations. When you have never been to a location, it is hard to tell what areas are good and which to stay away from. So, it was great to have that organized by Nordic Visitor.

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 location of hotels so close to trains was excellent. Particularly liked the lovely new hotel in Trondheim and the interesting historic hotel in Bergen. 

Bjarni was available to answer our questions promptly while on the tour and arranged for our luggage transfer after the tour had started. Good work!

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.

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.

I would recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone who wants to travel in Scandinavia. My husband and I were able to focus on the sightseeing experience knowing that all of our accommodations and transportation between cities were taken care of. We received all of the materials we needed and our travel consultant marked our hotels and train stations on maps to assist us in new cities. I can't say anything negative about the experience.

Guide on natural wonders tour was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and a great driver. I felt safe in her care. This is a wonderful tour for a solo traveler, as I was. The small size of the group made it comfortable and welcoming. No charge for single accommodations is an added plus!

Thank you for the itinerary and organisation. Everything was very enjoyable and the organisation made the trip a lot less stressful before and during. The suggested itinerary allowed us to see some of the sights we would not have known to keep an eye out for had we travelled on our own. However, the flexibility of having our own car and keeping to our own agenda also meant that we were able to explore other areas of interest that were not included in the itinerary.

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!

Would highly recommend these tours to other people....everything was perfect. All information provided was very helpful.

Kolbrun was exceptional. She laid out every detail of the trip, provided maps and location of hotels and ferry's we were to cross, and told us what to expect at every stage of the trip. She then followed up while we were traveling to make sure everything was going good. Her selection of hotels was terrific. This was one of the best trips we have taken and Kolbrun is the best representative with a tour group we have used.

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 word go Larus at Nordic Visitor helped us plan our holiday perfectly, and enjoy it to the maximum. We wanted a 5-6 day trip taking in some superjeep experiences both from Reykjavik and up in the north around Akureyri as we didn't want large coach groups or anything too touristy. The Superjeep trip to the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier and black sand beaches south of the island was phenomenal, and as the other couple in the jeep had booked to do a glacier hike, the guide asked if we minded combining the two trips which would prolong the day by a couple of hours which we were all thrilled about, and boy was it a great decision! Despite rain the six of us did the glacier hike which was amazing fun! An arctic char lunch followed by bouncing up and down sand dunes on the black sand beaches was excellent.

Up in Akureyri we were booked in to Hotel Kea which was lovely, and this was a good job as we ended up having to stay an extra night due to a snow blizzard which closed Akureyri airport... apparently they had not had snow all winter, but this more than made up for it as I've never seen snow like it! Our day trip to Myvatn (courtesy of Saga tours) was the highlight of our trip and picked perfectly for us by Nordic Visitor... the weather was beautiful - crisp but with sunshine - and our guide Sigi (who was the star of our whole holiday) took our jeep 'skating' on a frozen lake with us still inside it which was hilarious fun, before going off road round lava fields and up the side of an enormous crater amongst other things. Finally, the part of our holiday we had been waiting for: Jarbodin Nature Baths. These geothermal pools were stunning. With a little snow falling, perfect blue sunshine, and snow capped mountains as a view, my friend and I had the most lovely soak in the warm water, almost in splendid isolation. Nothing like the crowds at The Blue Lagoon which we had heard from some people to avoid in favour of Jarbodin. And they we

I was very impressed with the service and everything went smoothly. I loved not having to think about how or when we were getting to another country because all of the details were taken care of by Nordic Visitor. Overall I think you guys did an incredible job! We had a wonderful time exploring on our own.

We had an absolutely amazing experience. Iceland is such a BEAUTIFUL country - best experienced on your own in a car at your own pace we think! Larus was very helpful at every turn. Overall, a tremendous life-altering experience in one of the most magical places I have ever been.

There are not enough superlatives in English to express my experiences, lets go with:

Fantastic - Well organised - phenomenal - excellent value for Money -

An extremely well organised and thus enjoyable holiday; Nordic Visitor (and Alexandra) should be extremely proud of this level of customer service. Last minute changes to the hotel bookings were dealt with extremely efficiently.

Thank you

We have already recommended Nordic Visitor to all our friends and family! What a phenomenal trip. It would have taken me weeks to organize a trip like this, but instead all I had to do was e-mail Bjorg what we wanted and she came up with a phenomenal honeymoon--all we had to do was show up and enjoy Iceland!

Bjorg was phenomenal--she helped add five days to our tour. I totally trusted her to add the days in the right places and she absolutely did--it was an unforgettable honeymoon, largely because of her knowledge of Iceland. Our rental car, our hotels, and all of the materials provided were excellent.

I work in the travel industry and usually plan all my vacations myself via online research and experience. For my recent honeymoon my wife and I wanted to visit the Scandinavian countries and chose a tour on the Nordic Visitor website and then worked with Cecilia to customize it to our needs. While I tried to plan this trip myself, once I started working with Nordic Visitor I just gave up and let them handle everything as they were so good at it. They also got better prices that I could manage on my own so I got a perfectly organized trip and then it cost me less that I expected!

We flew into Stockholm and they had a driver meet us at the airport and take us to our hotel (we could have taken the train but preferred with all our bags to have a car). Our driver was great, even after she dropped us off she came into the hotel until we were checked in and made sure we had our welcome packet from Nordic Visitor.

For our trip we upgraded to stay in nicer hotels (well worth the money). Every hotel they got us was great, right in the city center so we could walk everywhere and they all included wifi and breakfast which at all 3 hotels was a 5-star buffet.

From Stockholm we took a train to Copenhagen, Denmark, from there an overnight cruise to Oslo, Norway (upgraded on the ship and again, it was well worth it, great cabin, free wifi, free drinks and snacks in the VIP lounge). While in Oslo we stayed at the grand Hotel, which is the most renowned hotel in the city.

From Oslo we took a train back to Stockholm (we had Nordic upgrade us on all trains to 1st class. A minimal fee but again well worth it).

Communication was great, every time I had a questions Cecilia or someone from their team answered straight away. I highly recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone who is looking to take a vacation in Scandinavia. The

In August, we completed the Iceland Complete tour, arranged by Thordis of Nordic Visitor in Reykjavik. What a wonderful experience! We were met at the airport in Keflavik by the most hospitable, informative cab driver in the world, which was a great start. Rental car, GPS and cell phone were also arranged for us. Accommodations were delightful. Part of the reason for that is the widely varying style of each place - from elegant, to rustic, and always scenic. 

We loved that an itinerary was provided, with suggestions of what to see and do each day, but we had complete freedom to decide which we wanted to do. Because of the great flexibility, we often had the opportunity to discover unexpected delights, like a wonderful horse show on a Sunday afternoon! When we returned our car in Reykjavik, there was a huge festival going on, and many streets (including the one our hotel was on) was blocked, but the creative young man from the rental agency was able to deliver us to within a block, and we were soon able to join the party. A great trip arranged by a great travel agent and company. Any Nordic trip we plan in the future will have us contacting Nordic Visitor!

My wife and I chose Nordic Visitor to arrange this self drive tour for us. We travelled in July and were very lucky with the weather. 15 days sunshine out of 17. Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries we have ever visited, and we were impressed by the friendliness and hospitality of the people ( and also by the fact that almost everybody spoke English). Outstanding also were the services we received from Nordic Visitor through María, their representative. From pick-up at the airport to the selection of the places to stay, every detail was exactly as advertised and flawless. The documentation we received prior to arrival and then again in Reykjavik was plentiful and very useful. So were the hints and other information we received from María personally at her office. We are full of praise and shall share our experience with friends and family.

Hi Cecilia

Very professional. All details are planned very well. The selection of the hotels are perfect as we have dreamed.

Nordic Visitor planned our full circle tour of Iceland in early May. The tour was self guided and included the route, a rental car and accommodations. We chose budget accommodations which was just right for us. These included some some self catering as well as a couple of hotel accommodations. All were extremely clean and all the hosts and hostesses were extremely friendly and helpful. They provided us with maps, a route as well as suggestions for sightseeing and activities. All of these were right on target. A real bonus was the use of a cell phone while on the trip which was vey reassuring. I highly reccomend this company.

An absolutely amazing trip with excitement at every stop we made. We loved every second and have fallen in love with Iceland. Thank you so much Nordic Visitor for the fantastic trip.

This was an excellent tour, the planning was unbelievable and the tour information excellent. We could not find any faults with the services from any those involved in making our tour such a great memory. The only critisium is we should have planned a few extra days.

Helena was one of the best travel consultants I have ever worked with. She quickly answered all questions and was a delight to work with!

Excellent service and top notch attention to detail.

Hi Helena!

Rachael and I had the most fabulous trip. It was so well organized. Everything went according to plan with the exception of the cruiseliner (due to weather) but your colleague worked it out for us in an incredibly expedient and effiicient manner so all worked out well in the end.

We are now home safe and sound and happy to be sharing the pictures and memories of our trip with our friends and family. Thank you so much for your professionalism and organization and frequent correspondence. This was a complicated trip with all the different places we visited and means of transportation. It would have been far too much for me to plan this all on my own. So without you this trip would not have happened.

I look forward to planning a trip with you in the future! I would love to take my husband to Norway, perhaps in the summer this time. Or maybe we will come see you in Iceland.

I received good practical information, hotel was very nice, friendly people, excellent food. My stay was too short, I´m planning to go back next year to see the West coast as recommended by Erla Sonja, and stay much longer.

We loved the hotels accommodation especially the Icelandic farmhouses...We also appreciate that Erla called us to let us know about the alternate route (Route 208) after the bridge on Route 1 after Vik was washed away in the glacial flood. We enjoyed our visit and your customized itinerary helped us see the highlights of your beautiful country. This was our first visit to Iceland. We hope to return again sometime.

As an ex travel agent I really appreciated your way of work, all the information we received before (as well as vouchers to check, etc.) and all the documentation we received on the spot. 3000 pictures to organise now at home as an excellent souvenir from Iceland :-)

We enjoyed our tour immensely—it was well planned for us to see a lot of Norway. The travel documents were excellent, with good maps and very helpful stickers and highlights. We chose Nordic Visitor because they are local travel specialists, and they even replied to our emails on Easter holiday.

P.S. Iceland is next...

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.

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!!!

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.

The service provided and information received before the tour was excellent. The standard of accommodation was excellent, for me the best experience was sleeping in the national park, however every single hotel was wonderful. We had the best guide-driver we could dream of. For us he was more than a guide. I have a deep respect and admiration for Asgeir who helped us to discover, understand and fall in love with this beautiful country. He adapted himself so kindly to our needs and tantrums! My daughter keeps talking about him. I do not exaggerate when I say he is her hero. Now everyone knows him in France and in England. I was not expecting such high quality standard of meals. My favorite was a meal at the last restaurant where every single dish was a delight (Hotel Ranga). It was definitively the best restaurant along with the sea food bar in Reykjavik. Ask Thora for the name. It was also very nice to meet her in Reykjavik. The weather has been with us as well. Every landscape and natural feature have been a festival of emotions for us. Icelandic people are welcoming, and friendly. They love and respect the countryside and people. I am very happy that my daughter (9) had the chance to visit and enjoy such a magical country where elves, nature and modernity live together in harmony. I did enjoy this tour deeply. It was the best holiday I never had.

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. 

Everything from the booking process to the actual trip was amazing! 

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.  

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

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!!

It was a great trip. Our Nordic Visitor agent was excellent and very helpful. We had a really lovely time and we are thinking of using this agency again for future tours. 

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.

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 Bartholomew/ MacLachlan) 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 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.

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

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.

Overall, our experience with Nordic Visitor was absolutely wonderful. Christoph Glauche went over and above in his efforts to answer all of my questions and provided me with websites and other suggestions to help me plan the tour that was best for us. We stopped by the office in Edinburgh to meet him since I had corresponded with him for months. He was just as sweet and helpful in person.

Airport transfers were great arrival and departure were perfect. Both drivers were full of information and advise. Wonderful to be meet by wonderful friendly people. We had a hotel and a guest house among our accommodation much preferred the B & B experience. Host at B & B were very welcoming with lots of information on their area.

We were so impressed at the level of good service, how easy it was and it was flawless.  Happy customers for sure.

Overall it was a fantastic experience and we were able to enjoy a brilliant holiday without the added stress of booking accommodation, cars etc. What we really appreciated were the little touches from Nordic Visitor, such as the welcome bag with useful items, the really nice accommodation that was booked, and all the tips/suggestions of what to do during our time in Iceland. It was a fantastic experience and tour.

You are the best tour operator. You did an excellent trip. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much

It was a pleasure from start to finish with Nordic Visitor, taken in hand by Sophia from the very start who looked after us the whole way we couldn't have been more pleased. Plus the sights we got to see on our journey through Scandinavia for the first time we will never forget. Thank you very much

Thanks very much for all the work in organising the best holiday we could have imagined and we will definitely return in the future.

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.

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

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!

Overall this experience massively exceeded my expectations. I will be leaving many reviews as soon as possible and will absolutely use this company again. 

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 our services were excellent.

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

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.

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!

The booking process was great. Klara was very kind and answered our questions right away and also provided us with the needed information for us to decide which tours we wanted to do while on our trip.  Overall, the trip was very well organized and we never felt confused or lacking of information while we were in Iceland.

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 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.

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. 

Our tour guide was excellent. Knowledgeable, sense of humor, family heritage and ability to tell stories of historical nature, and very professional.

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!

Overall wonderful trip and made it much easier for us to have all our accommodations and rental taken care of for us and Petra was a fantastic help!

We were very impressed with the entire experience and feel it was also a good value.  It was a very stress-free travel experience for us.

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 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.

Just a great experience. We are looking at Scotland through Nordic Visitor as well.

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!

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.

We loved Iceland, the people and we have a myriad of experiences to reflect back on. What a fantastic holiday. It worked smoothly from beginning to end. Thank you Nordic Visitor and in particular Dagny.

We have just arrived back from a most memorable and enjoyable trip which you organised for us. Right from the beginning of our email correspondence, we have been impressed by the quality, dedication and effort you have put into making our tour of Scotland enjoyable. Thank you for going beyond what I would normally expect. The tour and the associated paperwork and maps which you arranged were all marvellous and a good representation of Scotland. Whilst I thought that two days on Skye would be far too long, it was just right. Thank you again for your assistance and I shall endeavour through trip advisor and friends to spread the word about your wonderful company.

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!

Your company is outstanding in every way. The booking agents were responsive when we had questions. The information provided was excellent. The tour guides and the company's you contracted with are without exception outstanding. I would recommend your company to anyone who is planning a Scandinavian trip

Everything went very well on our tour. There were no issues with bookings and the hotels used were well located and good.

We had a wonderful time in Norway thanks to Sara and your company. The service provided by Sara made it a very straight forward holiday. The tour provided us with an excellent overview of Norway and we departed with very happy memories. 

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 Bryndis. 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.

Thanks so much! We got to have exactly the vacation we wanted, and it was just wonderful!

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!

It was a wonderful tour through the stunning scenery of Norway, very well organized by Nordic Visitor. Already thinking of visiting the northern part of Norway (Nordkapp, Lofoten) at some stage in the future, if a self-drive option is available.

Petra was very quick to answer any questions I had before I left the US. The accommodations were great and I would stay in the same hotels again. Service was exceptional and the rooms great. Breakfast at the hotels had great variety. I am so happy to have beautiful memories of Norway.

Irja was wonderful! She put our trip together perfectly and our entire visit from one country to the next was seamless. It could not have been any easier or well coordinated. My emails were responded to promptly and all my questions were answered thoroughly and with patience. I usually plan all my trips myself but it was so nice to let Irja know what I wanted and let her do all the tedious planning and booking. It was really amazing and our trip completely lived up to our expectations! I feel like a spoiled traveler now because Irja took a lot of the travel planning headache away from me and she did a really great job. We really appreciated the complimentary upgrades too!

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 Collie 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!

Thank you so much for the amazing tour. It was a great experience and Nordic Visitor's services were nothing short of brilliant. I would especially like to mention the excellent hotel locations that were chosen for us by Sirry. We look forward to travelling with you again. Thanks.

The country is absolutely beautiful. The people are wonderful. We had an amazing time and would like to come back and see the country in the wintertime.

We had a great experience from the very beginning. Cicci was always quick to respond to emails and answered all our questions prior to us making our final booking. Once we booked all the details (hotels, etc) started coming in and it was really helpful to have the "highlights" booklet to help us plan what we wanted to see and where we should stop each day on our drive. Really everything went incredibly smoothly through out the entire trip! We have no complaints!!

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.

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 Steinberg. 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 !!

Found on Google and selected option from website.....then Helga took over and made it ours and special.. nothing was to much trouble and all the hard work was done.

If any UK clients want to ask any points then do contact me.

We did a 10 day tour with 2 days extra in Reykjavik - hire car package and all accommodation Went like clockwork only better...

well worth getting the info pack posted over as it has all the details you need to plan your trip (I paid for some guides but they stuff was as good or better)

The organisation was superb and everything was very clear. We managed to see most of the recommended high spots from the wonderful itinerary which was prepared for us - plus a few other extras. We managed seven hot bathing experiences and only had to pay for two of them! The Hotels were excellent - very friendly people too, and we managed to see the northern lights at one of them at 1.00 am!! Fantastic holiday.

The overall organisation of train and boat travel was excellent. All bookings for hotels were accurate and instructions to find the hotels were easily followed. Breakfasts were very good...A well organised experience, which, because we had limited time, provided us with an itinerary that met our needs and gave us time to explore the destinations at our leisure.

Our trip could not have been any better thanks to you and your services.  Sara was excellent in helping us to complete our trip.  Also we made a mistake in our days and we needed 2 extra nights stay and they were taken care of right away and were excellent hotels.  Your choice of hotels could not have been any better.  We will be meeting with a friend here that has a travel agency and will be telling her about you and your wonderful service. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable.

We found all the people we were in contact  most helpful and friendly.

There are so many positives that I just done know where to start, brilliant service from day one, we are looking at coming back and booking with you to do all the bits we couldn't get round to!

We had a great trip and were extremely impressed with the service we received from Nordic Visitor. The level of detail we were given to help us  with the trip was excellent. All the hotels were of a very high standard. We will definitely use Nordic Visitor again for any trips to the Nordics.

Sigfus provided excellent services and even met with us on our first day in Iceland. Our trip to Iceland with Nordic Visitor met all our expectations. We had a wonderful trip, due in large part to the maps and suggestions provided in our materials.

Both the tour and the extra services we booked were well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. The mobile phone was a very thoughtful inclusion, and allowed us to (for example) easily call a taxi after we dropped off the rental car - very welcome on a cold night! The only regret we have is that we did not have more time available to stay longer! Your services were first class, and reasonably priced.

My entire experience was incredible. The hotels were perfect and I will definitely use Nordic Visitor again!

All of the guesthouses provided pleasant, excellent services! They were all uniquely different from one another, as well. It was a wonderful experience for me, as it was my first truly international trip outside of the United States. Iceland is a beautiful, welcoming, magical place!

Excellent diversity in accommodations -- upscale hotel to farmer's guesthouse -- gave a great sense of what the country is all about...Were also very pleased to visit the Nordic Visitor office in Reykjavik on the last day, before we departed. Did a video interview and shared some ideas. It was very nice to personally visit the staff, who were all very friendly.

Fantastic experience and thank you very much for helping out. Erna Run was a great advisor. One of my booked tours was cancelled due to weather and she managed to get me in another similar tour right away on the next day. Great service!

Everything was great, the hotels, food and tours were all good. The best hotel that we stayed are the ones with the hot tub in the garden, we were so tired from hiking all day and from being cold, the hot water in the evening was very welcomed!

Iceland is very beautiful and we love the whole time we were there. We were very lucky to catch 2 annual fireworks displays of the year, first in the Glacier Lagoon and the second one in Reykyavik. We were sad to miss the Aurora as it arrived 3 days after we left. I am a photographer and I took over 2000 photos on this trip. I am still sorting it now and plan to make a photobook of this trip to remind us of the best family vacation ever. Thank you Hafdis and Nordic Visitor :)

It was a fabulous trip. From the moment I made my initial enquiry right through to the end of the trip, everything went smoothly. All the accommodation was lovely, the books and maps were so well done and helpful. There was nothing left unanswered and the staff at Nordic were very helpful and willing to assist in any way they could. Overall one of the best tour group companies I have ever used! Will definately be recommending Nordic to others and hopefully I will book another trip with you again sometime :)

I was a little nervous about using a tour company, but when my wife informed me that it was a self-drive tour, I was okay. Sigfus did a great job picking out interesting things for us to see and places to stay. I have nothing negative to say about our experience with Nordic Visitor  I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to some of my friends and they seem quite impressed with what we were given for our tour. Loved every minute!

Congratulations for the entire team of Nordic Visitor! You know how to give a wonderful experience to the customers!

Every detail was planned with perfection and well/precisely executed. All exceptions and extras were handled with extreme care and attention. So, the experience was perfect and I strongly recommend to travel with Nordic Visitor!

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.

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.

The service from your company was extraordinary.  We appreciated all of the materials provided. All in all, this was the best booked tour I've taken anywhere in the world. Great job! 

Tour full of variety. Loved the different modes of transport. Hotels well chosen for travel convenience. Wonderful tour manager/guide.

A wonderful recommendation for Norway.

We took the 10 self-drive tour of Iceland in August, and it was an amazing experience! Helga G. arranged everything for us. Everything worked like clockwork. It was flawless! We had vouchers for everything all neatly organized in our arrival package. Can somebody give Helga G. a raise? She was amazing! We loved the notes that she put on the map for us about places we never would have discovered on our own. We were so happy with our experience that we made sure to go to the Nordic Visitor office on our last day to say thank you in person to Helga. Iceland was spectacularly beautiful. We have also always wanted to see the Northern Lights, and I would not hesitate at all to contact Nordic Visitor in the future to arrange that trip for us.

Just got back from a 7 day tour of southern Iceland organized by NordicVisitor. I was impressed that I went into this trip with no real knowledge of what I was getting myself, my wife and three teenage children into. The trip went on without a single hitch. The car rental, hotel reservations and activities were all perfect and we had a blast. Thank you and I would recommend this company to anyone. 

The only hitch was cost which was difficult to get a handle on. In particular, the activities were costly... BUT, well worth every penny.

We joined the Nordic Visitor tour party on the 25rd July following two days in Reykjavik on our own. Nordic Visitor arranged for a taxi (with welcome pack and documents) to pick us up from the airport on Thursday and on to our pre tour accommodation, we then made our way to the tour hotel on the Saturday evening. Our guide Porsteinn (Steine) met us at the welcome meeting and told us our agenda.

Sunday morning the tour set off at 9am the starting time for everyday. The tour went round the whole island (around 2000km covered) visiting all the major sites that can be reached from the N1 ring road. We were of the 'comfort' level of accommodation and all the hotels and guesthouses were of at least 3 star quality with large clean rooms and en-suite facilities. Some had fabulous views as well. The guide constantly fed us information of the sites we visited in an informal but informative way with a few Icelandic folk stories and jokes thrown in. The transport was a mini bus taking 16 of us comfortably from site to site with various comfort stops on the way. There is a little walking to be done for example up to Dettifoss that cannot be avoided but all the walks were really strolls and nothing over taxing. The evening meals that were provided as part of the package were either in the accommodation or at local restaurants and were of a very high quality. There are optional extra's such as Whale Watching and the Thermal baths which although we pre booked could be booked on the tour. Transfer back to the airport was provided. In summary this was a very well organised tour both before leaving home and whilst there. The program is varied and interesting, capturing all the major attractions. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting to see the main sites but not do all the legwork of a self drive.

Hafdis was our advisor with Nordic Visitor. She had planned a wonderful 8 day trip around the Ring Road and we were so excited to begin our journey. On our second day out of Reykjavik I got very sick and we had to return to Reyjjavik and an emergency room. We notified Hafdis and she re-arranged our itinerary and got a room in town. I spent the next couple of days in the hospital while my husband was staying at the Hotel Fron. Without the support of Nordic Visitor and Hafdis it would have been difficult to arrange ourselves. And a lot more stressful. After 4 days of rest I felt a little better and wanted to have at least the last couple days to see more of this beautiful country. So we called Hafdis and she arranged an overnight in the North West. Perfect! We are a senior couple in mid 60's and good health. But sometimes, things happen that we never expected. We are so grateful that Nordic Visitor was there for us, a support system where otherwise we had none. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Nordic Visitor and Hafdis. We will return someday.

It was a fabulous experience and loved everything about Greenland, especially the Ilussiat Ice Fiord and sailing among the icebergs at midnight.  The local people were very friendly and welcoming.  The helicopter ride to the Ilulissat glacier was also a highlight and standing on the ice cap by the glacier was an unforgettable experience.

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.

We are very busy and using Nordic Visitor made our trip to Norway very pleasant and stress free.

The service we received from Nordic Visitor was excellent! Our Travel consultant Sara was prompt in replying to all of our queries and more than happy to accommodate any of our requests. The information that we received to support our self guided tour around Norway was particularly useful and enabled us to make the most of our time in Norway. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Norway and would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to others! 

We loved the country of Norway - the scenery, the friendly people, the efficient public transport, the cleanliness - and would love to return some day, maybe to see the Northern Lights!

...We were glad to have the printed maps supplied by Nordic Visitor. We were very pleased with the decision to up-grade from 'Standard' to 'Superior' accomodation. The 'Commodore Class' on the Ferry was very welcome. The car was upgraded as well, fantastic!

We already have recommended your tours to family.

Everything was wonderful, you more than met our expectations. The quality of the rooms and hotels was excellent, the locations were perfect.

Cicci was great.

All hotels were excellent.  Communication was outstanding all the way through the process.

Sofia was an outstanding person to work with. She managed everything, assisted us in getting a visa issued and when there was one small glitch, promptly arranged for a refund for that portion of the tour. If I book another tour, I will not hesitate to request her again. I couldn't be happier. Oh yeah, Scandinavia is pretty cool too!

We loved staying at the Basecamp Trapper's hotel.  The place was really interesting and the staff very nice.  We pass along a special thanks to Lise at the hotel for her exceptional customer service and friendly personality. We also enjoyed the trip to Isfjord Radio, our wonderful guide Harri, and the great meals they served.  Our 2 hour maxibus trip around Longyearbyen the day we arrived was a good introduction to the area.

We made 2 changes to the package tour itinerary, and they ended up being the best parts of the trip.  The first was a hike to Trollsteinen, which we included in our itinerary from the beginning, and it was amazing (for those who love to hike). The second was a change we made at the last minute.  On our last day we were signed up for an ATV trip, but it would have been to basically the same place we had seen the first day on the maxibus trip.  We heard about a 10-hour boat trip to Pyramiden and Nordenskjoldbreen and booked it the night before. We loved this trip, with all we learned and the opportunity to see more of Spitsbergen. It added so much to our Svalbard experience, and we were so grateful we added this in. Something else that we really enjoyed on our trip was the Svalbard museum. It is very well done and we appreciated what we learned here. We have now used Nordic Visitor for 3 different trips.  We keep coming back to you because you take such good care of us and give us the trips we want. Thanks!

Everything went smooth. Having a limited amount of time there, we did not want things to hang up anywhere along the way so we appreciated that all the accommodations were worked out, the rental car was worked out.  It was nice to just hand over a voucher and have things taken care of.

We were pleased with the way it all worked out.  We got good suggestions from our travel consultant. It was great to have the map highlighted with the things that were important to us and the accommodations for each night.

The itinerary, highlighted map, mobile phone, and GPS with the rental car were all very helpful.  The hotels were fantastic and food (though expensive!) was delicious at the hotels we stayed at. We especially enjoyed some of the suggestions Solveig noted on the map along the way.

We had a wonderful week full of beautiful, other-worldly sights.  All of our travel plans went smoothly - from the airport  transfer to our first hotel, getting our rental car, hotel reservations, dinner suggestions, and back to the airport!  My family had such a fantastic, memorable week.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our brief exploration of a beautiful country, Iceland We found everyone we met to be courteous and helpful and felt that Icelanders had great pride in their country. Our visit was well organised by Nordic Visitor and the thorough pre trip information, maps and guidebook were of great assistance. All our pre trip enquiries were dealt with quickly and efficiently.

We enjoyed the variety of the sites seen, the meals and accommodation were also excellent. The tour guide (Þorsteinn) was very informative about the sites visited and he also gave us some Icelandic Folklore tales along with some jokes. He seemed to tailor the pace of the tour to the party, which was important due to mixed age groups.

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.

Thanks very much to Larus and everyone at Nordic Visitor! You made this adventure fun, easy, and unforgettable!!

I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor to any potential clients. They are an extremely professional company with lots of experience that means your holiday will run smoothly. Every detail was thought through, and when I had queries, Hafdis was able to answer them or sort them out quickly. My children and I loved this holiday - we all agreed it was the best we have had, and I want to thank Nordic Visitor for making this possible. When I was researching the holiday, I looked at a number of different options with a number of different Travel Agents, but I am so glad I chose Nordic Visitor. I will very much look forward to my next holiday with them.

This is the first time I booked a trip solely based on internet research and not based on a referral from a friend or other trusted source.  I plan to leave a glowing review on Trip Advisor. Your website is terrific, by the way. Very easy to navigate and full of useful information. I'd like to thank Sigfus for his help and patience. When I first reached out in January I wasn't certain if I wanted to take a self-drive or guided tour. He patiently answered many of my questions. I'd also like to thank our guide, Christine. She was fabulous.

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.

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.

Jennie was absolutely TERRIFIC in providing prompt service and information. A great ASSET to your organization!!!

The ability of Scandinavian people to communicate in English greatly enhanced our travel experience in Sweden!! I highly recommend that all travel/tourist brochures/websites/media highlight this.

I used to own a tour company myself so am quite confident that the services we received from Nordic Visitor were not only competent but actually went beyond what the promised.

We used NV for an 18-day self-drive around the entire country, including Westfjords. Keeping it short, they provided everything promised and even more. Documentation, driving instructions, optional places to visit and pretty much everything else was spot on. They even provided a cell phone for our unrestricted use (which, because of their planning and execution, was not needed, not even once call).

Every encounter with a service provider, basically the rental vehicle and hotels (plus a few optional tours we had them book), went smoothly and cleanly. Not one problem. Yes, they may have cost us a bit more but it was worth it (and, I'm sure, would have been even more worth it if there had been any problems along the way).

I cannot recommend NV more highly.

What fantastic service this company provides. They customised a tour to meet my requirements. When we arrived they gave us a complete package of information and everything was perfectly arranged. When I first made an enquiry I told them we wanted to photograph waterfalls and they had marked the map of our route with all the waterfalls. I really recommend them very highly.

To celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, we worked with Helga Guðmundsdóttir from Nordic Visitor to plan an 8-day self-driving trip via the ring road. Helga planned every detail, including making reservations at the most unique lodgings anywhere, arranging our rental car, providing a map with the route and handwritten notations of stops to make along the way. Nordic Visitor also provided a spiral bound notebook with suggested sights to see each day, including optional excursions. Nordic Visitor provided us with a cell phone (which we used to call Nordic Visitor with questions during our trip), a gas discount card and an anniversary gift as well.

If you love the outdoors and exploring, Iceland cannot be beat. And don't forget to call Helga at Nordic Visitor. They will work closely with you to make sure your trip is as memorable as ours.

From the very first email to our departure, Sigfús Steingrímsson at Nordic Visitor helped us design the perfect 4 day tour. From our pick up at the airport to renting a car, booking hotel rooms and suggesting sites that are not in the guide books, all transitions were seamless. We had an itinerary that we could use as is or go 'off script' and still experience what Iceland had to offer. We highly recommend them.

All our travel arrangements ran smoothly and we had no problems at all with any of our arrangements. All staff we dealt with in Norway were excellent and friendly. We had a very enjoyable vacation.

The 'pack' sent to us prior to the holiday had some very useful additional information which helped us decide on extra sites we wanted to see. All the vouchers were easily understandable and the map was very useful (although the sat-nav helped too!)

Hilmar was so helpful and tailored our trip and recommendations to our needs. Hilmar was a great partner and guide through our time there. The accommodations and the personal recommendations (including homemade ice cream and what football match to attend).

We have already had a presentation of our tour to friends and neighbours.

The facilities were just great!  We were impressed with all accommodations and how smooth everything was. The breakfasts were fabulous! Glacier walk so great too!

We had the best time on our trip thanks to how seamless Nordic visitor made the whole experience from the moment we landed to checking out of the hotel on our last nights stay. Typically you only hear when things were bad or negative. I am here to say this was so positive and seamless every step of the way. The driver who picked us up was great, kind and helpful. Each accommodation we stayed at had fabulous customer service and a welcoming staff not to mention awesome food! Thanks to Larus and the team at Nordic Visitor for all they did to make this trip an experience of a lifetime!

You guys made my trip seamless, easy and perfect. I can't imagine doing all the planning work myself!

We were extremely impressed by the excellent service offered by Sigfus during the entire booking process.  All our questions were promptly answered and appropriate web links sent with any extra information.  I suggest you could include EXCELLENT on your scale, above VERY GOOD.  We have done quite a lot of travelling and have yet to find a more attentive and efficient travel agent!  We also very much appreciated the notices from your CEO about the impending strike action, which fortunately, did not go ahead - another impressive action on your part.  So well done NORDIC VISITOR and we absolutely loved ICELAND - we had a fantastic holiday!

All services, from pick up at the Airport to the return bus service and including accommodation and meals, were to a very good standard and problem-free.

From the very beginning the service we received was first class and any queries we had were quickly and efficiently answered. Our holiday was totally trouble free and was exactly tailored to suit our requirements. Many thanks.

Our trip with Nordic Visitor exceeded our expectations and I doubt we would have been able to book a comparable trip on our own. The itinerary was very detailed so there was never any questions about where we needed to go and how long it would take. Any issues we had were taken care of promptly. We heard numerous times during our trip, from other travelers and the staff at our accommodations, about what a good company Nordic Visitor is. I would not hesitate to recommend Nordic Visitor to other first time travelers to Iceland or to use your services again in the future.

I want to thank Cecilia, she was wonderful. The trip was amazing, we had no problems while travelling and the hotel selection was good. She did a great job!

The staff at the Oslo Clarion Royal Christiana were amazing. My husband got sick during the trip and they went out of the way to make sure he felt better. Great choice of hotel!

Dear Helena, We are now back home in England. I just wanted to say thank you from me and Rosie for organising our holiday so efficiently. We had the most wonderful time and we were quite sad to leave! I think we have fallen in love with Norway! All the hotels and excursions were really good and we loved the snowmobile and dog sledding. The Snow Hotel was amazing. The Trollfjord trip was incredible also. And we saw the northern lights 3 times! This was quite possibly the best holiday we gave ever had. So thanks once again, it was a pleasure to be looked after so well by you.

All arrangements for the tour went well no issues of any sort, all very efficient.

The holiday was brilliant, absolutely fabulous to experience norway from South to the North. Totally trouble free holiday that more than met expectations. The country and cities looked wonderful, and the sledding with the huskies was unforgettable .  Great memories . Thank you.

The itinerary was easy to follow and very helpful. Everyone was super nice and accommodating when I had questions or issues. It was a very pleasant trip and I would do it again in a heart beat.

We love Larus at Nordic Visitor! He secured the perfect hotels and rooms for our family, and created an itinerary that perfectly suited our adventure-loving family. The hotels were very lovely, the car we rented was in excellent condition, and having a map that our agent marked up specially for us with highlighted stops was just one of the many extra special touches that Nordic Visitor provides. While we were in Iceland, Larus took the time to phone us, our hotel and email us that a storm was on the way during part of our tour. He easily modified our hotel plans and made terrific recommendations that kept us safe and still exploring. Without his help, our day would likely have been fairly miserable. I cannot imagine trying to plan and navigate Iceland without the superb customer service that Larus and Nordic Visitor provided to us. We have traveled the world, and we can recommend Nordic Visitor with top marks for their services. We are already planning to return to Iceland, and we will absolutely be using Larus and Nordic Visitor to plan a perfect trip again.

Hinrik was exceptional in his quality of service.  Very knowledgeable and helpful, and always cheerful, despite a family bereavement, which he didn't disclose until after the tour, obviously as it might have affected our enjoyment of the trip. An outstanding person.

A most enjoyable trip.

We enjoyed the holiday so much that we want to return  to Iceland to see more of the wonderful country. Nordic Visitors could not have done enough for us. We arrived in the middle of a storm and our whole holiday had to be re-scheduled but amazingly we only missed off seeing one thing on the itinerary. A fantastic and memorable holiday.

One of the most amazing trips I've ever done and one of the best in regards of organization.

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.

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.

Everything was great. The tour guides and employees were extremely friendly and professional. They accommodated us as best they could whenever we needed something. I would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor and this package to anyone. Dress warm! 

Once in a lifetime experience! Thank you! It couldn't have gone better.

After reading many positive comments about Nordic Visitor I decided to book my Iceland Full Circle Winter Self-Drive tour through them and I was not disappointed! Excellent customer service that had every detail covered. Mid-way on my trip my travel consultant, Larus, called me on the cell they had provided just to see how things were going and to make sure I was aware of the weather warning that had been issued. I never had a minute's concern or disappointment in any of the arrangements. If I'm ever in need of travel assistance in the areas they service, Nordic Visitor will be my #1 choice!

Overall a great experience. Cecilia was very helpful and responsive.

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.

Every hotel was perfectly positioned (close to the train station if we had an late arrival/early departure, or close to the city if we had a few nights stay). Christmas dinner was booked for us by Nordic Visitor also which was fantastic as we would not have found a restaurant open ourselves! 

We had the most amazing eight day trip in Norway organised by Sara Osk, our travel advisor at Nordic Visitor. We had a lot of trouble deciding on which tour to do and Sara was very patient in answering our questions and provided excellent advice on what she thought would be the best tour for what we wanted and in the time we had. I couldn't have asked for more from Sara, she went above and beyond to help us, and I'm very grateful for all she did as everything ran so smoothly which no doubt made the trip more enjoyable. I could not have organised such an awesome trip myself all the way from Australia!

My wife and I have just returned from our honeymoon in Lapland and I have to say, Irja (from www.nordicvisitor.com) was the key reason for it's success. 

To begin with, the website itself allows for some great and VFM customizations. 

But, from paying attention to each and every detail of two extremely finicky customers, to going through innumerable changes in the itinerary, Irja was instrumental in ensuring that we were traveling in comfort and style. 

Even though our flight details changed at the very last minute, Irja and Cecilia ensured that all accommodations and transfers were taken care of.

The hotel and tour operators provided to us were absolute gems and the itinerary allowed for us to enjoy everything in Lapland with enough time to spare for ourselves too - which is my idea of a perfect holiday!

Whenever I plan my next scandinavian holiday, I will definitely be using www.nordicvisitor.com again.

We have just returned from Iceland where we enjoyed a self drive tour arranged by Nordic visitor. Our advisor listened to our requirements which included the better hotels and included the golden circle tour. We especially enjoyed our trip to the glacial lagoon at Jokulsarlon.

A pretty long drive from Vik where we stayed the night before and on fairly tricky roads as there had been a good snowfall but worth the trip. Absolutely gorgeous.

The hotels were of a good standard generally especially Hotel Borg in Reykjavik a delightful Art Deco hotel. there is not a great deal of choice but Hafdis did a great job all round.

Iceland is expensive but we thought the tour good value for money with good information packs and also a mobile phone provided for our use while in Iceland. Reassuring with the snow.

We appreciated the maps and materials provided by our travel agent. The maps of the area made our drive so easy and uncomplicated. Her outlining of the itinerary both on the map and the spiral book made our trip uncomplicated and relaxing. All materials provided in our travel bag were used daily, and the big Iceland Road Guide was a great addition. We read that every evening. Nice addition to our travel package..

Lárus was very quick to respond to emails and was encouraged us to make specific request known so that we could customize our tour…All of the hotel staff were always friendly and willing to be of help to answer questions or provide directions. The continental breakfasts were fresh and we were able to sample many of the traditional Icelandic foods such as Skyr, lamb and Lax. We enjoyed our evening meals tremendously. The servers were hospitable and we enjoyed the chef´s selections each night paired with the selected wines. A fabulous experience. Key highlights were the Icelandic people, the power of the waterfalls and ocean waves, the duality of hot and cold: Blue Lagoon/spas and Langjökull Ice Cave, Strokker geyser and Gullfoss, Seljandsfoss and Vík í Myrdal. We can´t say enough about Iceland and the Icelandic people. We felt at home and look forward to returning soon.

Everything was fantastic. Hotel choices were very good as far as location and amenities. Helena was very helpful in making the booking process quick and easy.

Helena made some in-trip adjustments for us that were very helpful. Hotels were fabulous with a great view in almost all of them.

All hotels were very nice and provided excellent services. It was very good to have restaurants in all of the hotels, so we did not worry at all about finding open restaurants at night in more remote places. We really appreciated our holiday in Iceland thanks to your services and we can't wait to visit another Nordic country! Before we left a lot of people around us were wondering why we were spending our summer holiday so close to the Arctic Circle, but now that they have heard about our experience they all want to do the same!!

From first call to the end of the trip, everyone we encountered was very helpful. If they did not know an answer, they would check and get back to us with an answer. There were no surprises. The literature and all materials were very helpful and wonderfully complete.

All excellent. Erla promptly answered my questions and arranged everything very well.

The tour started on a very positive note since the early booking process. Alexandra did her best and answered all of our questions and also gave her insight based on what we were looking. The island itself is breath-taking as long as you can stand the climate changes (which shift often :) Looking back I do not regret going to Iceland.

Our trip to Iceland was flawlessly planned by Nordic Visitor. There was no guess work on our part upon arrival. Everything was arranged as requested and there was plenty of free time to explore the various sections of the country. The maps and other written materials provided were very helpful. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

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.

The trip was fantastic. Kolbrun's organization of the transportation and lodging allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy. We appreciate her attentiveness. 

Thank-you for a great trip!

We were very pleased with all aspects of our trip. We had one minor problem and Cecilia took care of it at once. We were very happy with the hotel selection and their location for transportation. Nordic provided the service we needed and expected. We have always planned our own trips without assistance, but in this case we could not. You fit the tour into the schedule we had and we are completely pleased. Thank you very much.

We just had an incredible 24 day self-drive tour around beautiful Scandinavia .Irja was our travel 

consultant who did a highly commendable job in making us feel at home in a different country.

The tour was perfectly planned with top Hotels(Clarion chain),maps cell phone Europcar ,and

vouchers for hotels and any pre-booked tours.

Anybody wanting to visit Sweden has to use Nordic Visitor as they are very knowledgeable and

friendly to do business with .Words are unable to do justice to the warmth we received while 

touring Sweden ,with many good memories and photos.

Many thanks Irja.

Nordic Visitor is a great tour agency. We first contacted them, Alexandria listened to what we wanted to do and arranged exactly what we wanted for our trip. They do a wonderful job of providing information, not only general information on the area but also you get a personalized itinerary and a cell phone to use. We did a ring road trip and a two day excursion to Greenland. We have traveled all over the world and I would recommend this agency to anyone planning a trip to the Nordic countries.

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.

I travel a great deal, all over the world (4-5 times abroad per year for holidays). I normally always do ALL the arrangements myself (flights, hotels, rental cars, tours etc.). However, for personal reasons I didn't have time to organize a 3 week tour in Norway myself this year, so after a bit of googling and contacting some local travel agents as well (I live in Switzerland), I decided to go with Nordic Visitor and have the absolutely lovely young travel agent Kolbrun, do everything for us. A GREAT decision. She put together a custom-made tour for us based on all my wishes (I'm very demanding) and then gave me lots of ideas and suggestions as well. The hotels we stayed in were brilliant. The route along the way was fantastic. The personalized itinerary we received beforehand was like nothing I've ever had before. On top of all that, Kolbrun was so professional and so efficient! She got back to me on the same day by email and was always extremely clear in all her answers. I will DEFINITELY go to her again when I go to Iceland! Thank you so much, Kolbrun!

I have never used a travel service company before. After our trip though, I have already recommended traveling to Iceland to anybody that will listen. I also said what tour we did, and that by using Nordic Visitor, you will have a great time with no headaches.

Iceland is a wonderful country and we had a fantastic time. Nordic Visitor is a great company –independent tour guides and hotel staff commented about what a good company you are too! Hilmar was attentive and helpful—I emailed him and even called him using the toll free telephone number several times before going to work in the morning from New York, and he answered all my questions patiently!

The guesthouse experiences were great as were the tours. It was nice to meet some locals and learn more of the Icelandic culture through them. Everyone was very helpful and kind. There was no part of the trip that we did not feel completely comfortable with through your help! We will certainly consider the Nordic Visitor group for all of our travels to the Nordic area!

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the guest houses. The suggestions for the route was excellent and Erla Sonja was very flexible in allowing us to make changes to our itinerary. The trip was well above our expectation and we've already recommended Nordic Visitor to 3 of our friends! We travel all over the world and this was by far the best self-drive vacation we've ever had. We felt like a good friend was taking care of us. 

Our agent, Larus, was extremely helpful and quick to answer questions. We really appreciated the detailed itinerary with sight-seeing recommendations and highlighted route on the map. It made for an easy, seamless experience. All of the hotels and guesthouses were amazing and had friendly staff. We couldn't have picked better accommodations if we had tried to plan it on our own. Even the rental car company was easy to work with and helpful. I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor to family and friends.

The accommodations booked were of excellent quality and very conveniently located to the train stations and the city's attractions. The staff at every hotel was wonderful - very helpful, able to communicate in English. The trains and buses were punctual, clean and comfortable. 

A very positive experience. We had a wonderful trip. The highlights were definitely the Pulpit Rock an Kjerag mountain hikes. I would highly recommend them to your customers.

We recently spent a week in Iceland based in Reykjavik, including a three day self drive tour along the South coast fully arranged by the Nordic Visitor centre. The tour was well organised by the staff at Nordic Visitor Centre. Everything was easy and smooth. Our only regret is that we did not spend enough time in the country. There is so much more to see. We want to go back again for at least two weeks so we can tour the whole amazing country.

My wife and I just returned from 10 fabulous and exciting days in Iceland and can't say enough about the arrangements made by Nordic Visitor and Erla, in particular! All of the transfers/shuttles were on time. The rental car was great (almost brand new) and the GPS was helpful on several occasions. All of the hotel arrangements were top-notch. We can't think of anything that could have been better!

Everything was perfectly organised and the entire trip went off without a hitch. The tips and suggestions given to us by Alexandra were very beneficial. A well organised and professional organisation with very a helpful agent. Our Scandinavian experience was very enjoyable and we will certainly use Nordic Visitor in the future.

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 Sonja 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

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.

Kolbrun was great and always was very responsive to request or email. I would recommend her service to anyone. Norway Grand Tour was excellent. The hotels booked were wonderful and the service was great. The whole experience with Nordic exceeded expectations!

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

Our entire experience with Nordic Visitor was very enjoyable. Thank you for all your assistance.

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!

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.

We would like to say that our consultant Cecilia Markov 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

For several years now Iceland has been on the top of our travelling plans. We set ourselves quite an ambitious task, also considering that we were travelling with our 4 year old son.

We decided to do the full circle tour around the island in just over 2 weeks and I have to say we were not at all disappointed. 

Not only did the island exceed our expectations, but also the quality of the organisation was excellent. The choice of hotels was carefully made by our travel agent to ensure our son would have plenty to do, while not compromising on the highlights. All the activities were also well planned and the information provided by our travel agent was accurate, detailed and useful.

The agency was also very quick in action when required. Mid way through our stay we decided to prolong our trip and with the help of Nordic Visitor it was possible to arrange it, despite all the full booked hotels in the high season.

All in all, a great country to explore and great to have Nordic Visitor facilitating the process!

It was a great holiday, really enjoed by the whole family. Very well organised on the whole. All the guides were extremely friendly and helpful making all the the tours interesting. I think the highlight was the day in the super jeep tour. Thank you very much.

The cell phone given to us was very helpfull, especiay because we did had problem with our car and it was very convenient to handle it with the phone we had. Material we got - was very helpfull. Nordic Visitor‘s agents were very friendly and professional.

We did a custom self guided tour "South Iceland at Leisure" (2 days in each location) through Nordic Visitor and had the time of our life. Alexandra customized our tour after we told her our dates, price, wants. The vacation was incredibly smooth and well organized. Reykjavik was fun but we were excited to take off and see the rest of the country. The landscape was incredibly varied and the natural wonders (waterfalls, lava tubes, fjords, black beaches, glaciers!) gave us an awesome sense of Earth's dynamic power! We are very active vacationers! We whale/puffin watched in Reykjavik, snorkeled & hiked at Thingvellir, climbed a glacier and hiked in Skaftafell, explored waterfalls in Selfalandsfoss/Gullfoss, enjoyed the quite countryside near Helka, had lobster in Hofn, and more! Our favorite hotel was the Volcano Hotel near Vik. The only wrinkle we had the entire time was the Hotelfoss Skaftafell. They have very few double bed rooms and we were there over a holiday weekend and so were initially put in a very small twin bed room. The second night they moved us to a larger room with a view of the mountains/glacier. The Skaftafell area is GORGEOUS if you are looking for amazing nature, just expect the hotel (there is only one!) to be a bit more rustic because of the extremely rural area. It's worth the stay though, Svinasfelljokull glacier climbing was definitely one of the most fun things we did!

Everything was well organized and complete. We particularly liked having a cell phone for emergencies etc. the accommodations were great! We loved that the route and accommodations were arranged for us. This took a lot of stress out of the trip. We loved Iceland and will consider returning as well as using Nordic visitor for future travel to other destinations.

Nordic Visitor was one of the best travel decisions I've ever made. They made everything so easy, while giving us the freedom of being able to 'adventure' on our own. The hotels & guesthouses were fabulous and comfortable. Our itinerary and maps were comprehensive, with many personal touches from Thordis, our travel agent. I hope to book another trip with Nordic Visitor again soon!

Highly recommend going through Nordic Visitor for any future travels. Had no worries the whole time while on vacation. We all felt very relaxed.

Hi Irja,

We just returned from our trip and we wanted to tell you thank you! The trip was fantastic. Everything you planned was wonderful. We loved the tours in Kiruna, especially the dog sledding. The ice hotel was amazing and we loved the room you picked for us. The hotels you picked were very nice and we never would have found them on our own. We liked the Hurtigruten and were so happy when we got to see the Northern lights on the deck on the second night. We even enjoyed the bus and train rides because the scenery was so beautiful! The guides in Kiruna were especially nice and helped us locate a piece of luggage we lost while we were on a tour so we could make our train on time afterward. Thanks so much!

The information package was so good that a meeting with my travel agent was not required. The map was so detailed we rarely needed anything else. All sites were thoughtfully laid out and were excellent. The package could not have been better. Hotels were all excellent and meals they provided were well above expectations.

We had a wonderful experience! Alexandra was such a pleasure to work with and helped us book a wonderful stay. We loved the welcome package--the map was so helpful with all of the highlighting of where we'd be staying, what route we'd take, and the sites we could see along the way. We used that map in conjunction with the book we received, the itinerary and just one book that we brought along with us. We were able to see so many wonderful and beautiful things (things which weren't even on the itinerary--but that we just happened to pass by).

We stopped by a town called Olafsvik for lunch one day and absolutely fell in love with its charm. Same with Husavik--loved that town! All of our accommodations were very comfortable and at great stopping points in between sites. Thank you so much for everything! We really can't wait to get back (it was so sad to leave Iceland!). We'll surely be booking something else for the wintertime so we can come see the Aurora Borealis and the beautiful snow. :)

Many thanks for arranging the most wonderful vacation of our lives! The itinerary was fabulous, and we were very pleased with our accommodations. From the moment we arrived in Iceland to the moment we departed, everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't be happier with your service!

Our overall experience was very good and we would definitely be happy to recommend Nordic Visitor to friends and family.

I usually book all our vacations myself and was a little nervous about handing the vacation over to a stranger, but Nordic Visitor has changed my mind. Kristin was amazing. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly and was very easy and pleasant to work with even as I peppered her with nearly daily e-mails during the planning process. She was right on point with all her suggestions and the trip was better as a result. The provided map with the highlighted route/points of interested/accommodations was invaluable, and provoked envy among other tourists who had used different tour companies. We appreciated the provided phone - it makes travel easier when you know you have a lifeline to call for help if you run into trouble. Overall, it was absolutely a top-notch experience and we are already talking about our next trip. We will definitely be using Nordic Visitor again!!

Why chose this tour because we had a limited time in Iceland and wanted to see as much as we could in the time allotted. Iceland is simply breathtaking and your detailed itinerary and maps made it very easy for us to see everything we hoped and more! We will definitely use Nordic Visitor again! Thank you for an unforgettable vacation!

Dear Maria:

It's been a while since my son and his bride have retuned from their Icelandic dream honeymoon. I wanted to thank you for handling the arrangements so professionally and also tell you that every aspect of the trip turned out perfectly. Each hotel was warm and comfortable and always accommodating, awaiting their arrival. Your recommendations for food worked out beautifully, the car was perfect and GPS was a good idea!

Thank you for your part in making their Iceland experience the dream they were hoping for. It gave them a chance to revel in the beauty of quiet nature and ponder a simpler lifestyle from that of their own in NYC. They had a busy year leading up to the wedding and you created the perfect trip to relax and let the experience of a beautiful wedding sink in.

They spent one evening watching the Northern Lights with another couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, who had come specifically to see that sight. Imagine that!

All the best to you and happy holidays!

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!

Thank you so very much for organizing our recent trip to Sweden. Everything was wonderful! You quickly responded to my numerous emails this spring, answering each question as it came up. It was so nice to meet you in person. The information package re maps, vouchers, etc. was fantastic. In the 10 days that we traveled, we did not have a single problem with anything!! The trip was amazing from the start, at the airport to the finish. This adventure was beyond what I had expected. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Sweden. It truly was "Sweden in a Nutshell".

Again Daniel, thank you for your outstanding professionalism in arranging this trip for us. You have given a group of friends a lifetime of wonderful memories.

Dear Maria, It's been a week since we came back home, and we still haven't recover from this great experience... WE HAD A GREAT TOUR OF ICELAND! It was the best vacation we ever had! Thank you very much! The organization of this tour was just perfect! And it's all thank to you!!! Thank you again, and we hope to come back to Iceland soon... And if you'll come to Kenya, please let us know. Best wishes to you and your family.

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 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.

Nordic Visitor was a 'lucky find' for us! We found the Nordic Visitor website by chance while looking for 'Iceland tours', and upon further research, noted that the company's services had received very good reviews, so we decided to call them up. We prefer to travel on our own and at our own pace, and having a company available which has had considerable experience with the destination in question was extremely helpful. Given the quality of the services (car, hotels, excursions) available, we feel we the trip was a great value, and was money well spent! We received great support both before and during our trip, and we were really impressed with the quality and detail of the travel materials we received upon arrival. The specificity, clarity of instructions, and additional suggestions provided in the tour booklet created specifically for our trip and excursions, was very good, and really helped make the trip easier so we could focus on the enjoying the journey. We feel the staff at Nordic Visitor did a really great job for us! Thank you!

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.

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

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

Agne Dobrovolskyte 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 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".

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. 

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.  

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. 

Everything that was possible to control was taken care for me on this tour. Lucky for me, nature was also on my side and everything went great and managed to see fantastic landscapes (including northern lights)

Amazing. Would definitely book again. Thank you!

Thank you for always being available and communicating. We had an amazing time.

I did not realize how easy the travel would be, it was a great blend of being on your own and the privacy, but having a back up and someone to organize the transportation was great. I felt like I saw the most I could in 5 days. 

We found Silja very helpful before we travelled our e-mails were answered promptly and our questions answered. Airport transfers were excellent. The hotels we stayed in were comfortable and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

I was impressed with how well everything was handled and the superb communication I received from my agent throughout. He responded to my emails immediately and answered every question I had.  I loved the personal connection I felt and the knowledge that Nordic Visitor would respond appropriately if I ran into a problem.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The service provided during the reroute far exceeded my expectations; the team went above and beyond to work with/for us and were gracious and responsive in light of what I imagine was quite chaotic for all. The vendors that partner with Nordic Visitor were amazing and understanding, and everyone went well above and beyond to take care of us.  I am extremely impressed and talk about your agency as much as I talk about how much I have fallen in love with your country!  Your team is exceptional!

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!

It was so great to have suggestions along the route! And we really appreciated how stress free the whole process was. It can be overwhelming traveling in another country, and this was just perfect.

I appreciate how well organized Nordic Visitor is and how easy it was to find my way around with the help of the maps that they provided. I liked the suggestions they made for sights to see in the various cities as well.  I would definitely check with Nordic Visitor if I planned to return to the same countries.

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. 

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

Very friendly and attentive response to our questions.

Excellent, I thought Margaret was very informative and accommodating.  Would definitely go on another tour with Nordic visitor.  

I cannot recommend this company enough. They have been polite and helpful throughout the entire process, enabling us to have a relaxing yet adventurous holiday. Norway itself was wonderful and all services involved- trains, boats, hotels were outstanding. We will be coming back for sure! 

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!

The Tour was wonderful. We spent 4 days with no luggage and yet we had a marvellous time! The Tour was even better than i had envisaged. The scenery was amazing and the people we met on the Tour were very friendly. Thank you so much

The whole process from start to finish was very clear, Petra was very helpful and we would happily book another tour with you. 

Just so hassle free, all we had to do was enjoy ourselves

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.

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

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

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!

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 was very pleased with everything!

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!   

We had a fantastic tour thanks to Bjarni's organisation and choice of hotels.

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.

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. 

I totally loved the idea of the self drive tour... where we are on our own, but the stay and the itinerary is planned out for us. So it´s like somebody has done the homework, we just need to follow it. It was my first self drive tour, and i would like to explore as many places this manner. Thank you Nordic Visitor. I hope to do Scotland and Norway with you soon.

This was the best trip we have ever taken. THANK YOU!

We were pleasantly surprised at the high level of our accommodations. We asked for an upgrade of a guaranteed ensuite, and all the hotels were of the highest standard. The map with the highlighted tour and places to stop and see was very useful. The pickup and drop-off service was well worth the extra expense. The drivers were very knowledgeable and courteous. What a wonderful way to start and end the trip. We needed the emergency number when we were boarding the ferry. It was reassuring to have Nordic Visitor quickly resolve our registration problem.

We were absolutely delighted with our visit to Iceland and were so glad we were able to circle the entire country! I'll admit to having tears in my eyes as we left Reyjavik! My two wishes ....to see whales and volcanoes...were fulfilled. We have recommended Nordic Visitor to our friends and fellow travelers we met along the way. Keep up the good work!

...and great help from a very knowledgable agent at Nordic Visitor (Solveig). It was also very good value and I believe cheaper than had we tried to organise the same thing on our own. The accommodation all over Iceland was really excellent and some would be highlights or favorites we'll remember a long time

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 thought that Sofia's organisational skills were excellent. She was professional, friendly and organised some excellent hotels - in terms of location and helpfulness of staff. This was a fantastic holiday. A real adventure that we both thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for making this possible.

The hotels were great, especially the one in Copenhagen and Flam. Everything was so well organized an thought through I.e. the hotels were positioned closely to the train station. We had enough time in each of the places we visited as well. The night in Flam was perfect timing to slow down the trip and relax a little! Excellent experience, timely communication. Very easy and low maintenance which is exactly what I want when booking with an agency.

We had an amazing experience. Everything went smoothly, we loved the hotels Helga chose for us, and the information we received before the tour was very helpful. I cannot wait to travel with Nordic Visitor again. We have already recommended Nordic Visitor to my parents, and they are planning to book a tour within the next couple months!  THANK YOU!

This is the second trip we have booked with Nordic Visitor and it was a very pleasant experience (we traveled to Norway in 2013). We will certaily trust our future adventures to the experienced staff at Nordic Visitor. Every detail was taken care of before we arrived in Iceland, all we had to do was enjoy ourselves. We booked a similar styled tour of Scotland through a different company in 2014, and there really is no comparison. Nordic Visitor does an exemplary job of taking care of their clients. Booking through Nordic Visitor is truly the best way to explore Nordic countries.

Every hotel outside of the city was fantastic!  They just got better and better and the food was outstanding. The accommodations, food and sights we visited were outstanding!  The itinerary we were provided exactly fit our needs.  Also, we loved the restaurant selections that had been recommended to us....the last hotel we had a 10-star meal! 

My vacation to Iceland/Greenland was beyond all of my expectations.  The drivers, tours, hotels, meals and especial our tour guide Rakel was wonderful. I was mesmerized by the beauty of your country and the kindness of the Iceland people. i would recommend your company and country to many people as I already have. Thank you for a wonderful experience. 

Iceland is not only a wonderful country to tour with friendly people but the services and detailed personal itinerary provided by Nordic Visitor, made our visit one of those lifelong memorable occasions.

Excellent hotels. The spiral bound notebook and vouchers were great.  I wish the large book could have been made available before the trip as didn't want to spend the trip reading up on the various sites, but would have liked to have that information prior to coming to Iceland.  The gps unit provided with the rental car was rather dated and difficult to use.  We mainly just used it to be sure we were on the correct road - so it was valuable in that respect.  Appreciated that the driver was there on time to pick us up from the airport (he also gave us helpful hints about driving in Iceland) as was the transport from Thrifty to take us to the car rental.  

We booked this tour of Iceland as our honeymoon. Most people in the USA book tropical vacations, however we wanted something adventurous and more memorable. Iceland and this trip exceeded our expectations in every way. The country is incredible and words cannot describe its beauty. Nordic Visitor did a fantastic job of booking all of our hotels/guesthouses. We were so thankful for the maps and printed out information. This was the trip of a lifetime and if money permits, we'd LOVE to come back someday. Thank you!!!

The self-driving tour planned for us was everything I'd hoped, with a wonderful range of destinations and accommodations throughout. In every case, arrangements were what we would have chosen, had we planned this trip ourselves!

Our guide/driver was friendly, knowledgable, and a delight, sharing sagas and stories, which added to our knowlege and enjoyment tremendously...sites were all wonderful...Iceland is such a hidden treasure we'd never known about and are happy to share our experiences with others and encourage them to visit your wonderful country of breath-taking natural wonders!

Amelia and myself really enjoyed the tour. I was very surprised that the tour was happening although there were only five of us. We really appreciate it very much that you made the tour happened as Amelia could not travel on other timings. Hotels were comfortable and meals were good. The tour itinerary met our expectation as we were introduced to what Iceland could offer as a whole. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and told us interesting stories. I have never heard of Iceland sagas before this trip. He was so enthusiastic about the Northern Lights! I am so glad I saw it and he took a photo of us for our remembrance. After seeing it on 15 April he still continued to go out on subsequent evenings to see if we could view it further as he said that might a chance to see it. That was commendable although we did not see it again.

Nordic Visitor is a knowledgeable, competent and effective travel agent for Norway. Its suggested itinerary for southern Norway produced an enjoyable and memorable experience that leaves one wanting more of Norway as well as other countries in which Nordic Visitor specializes. Mange takk.

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.

Everything in the itinerary was in place and there were no hassles. All the hotels selected by you were wonderful. Overall a wonderful experience.

Helga, our tour consultant, went above and beyond with her service. We really appreciated the detailed maps she had for us in our package. She gave us lots of options and ideas for things to do as we traveled - even marking places where we could get homemade ice cream along the way. We enjoyed our trip so much that we stopped in to the office at the end of the trip to thank Helga again. We even made a video clip, telling about some of our great experiences.

Had a great time at all hotels. Love extra suggestions of places to see and eat that were written on the map by your agent. Great trip.  As a self driving trip was glad to have someone book hotels, since I was unsure of how far I would be able to drive each day.  Great suggestions for extra day trips. Loved having places of interested written on the map as they were not mentioned in travel books.  Everything was so easy from being picked up at airport, getting car, and traveling route.  Would 110% recommend Nordic Vistor for planning a trip.  

Our guide was exceptional, she was very knowledgeable, and fun company. She included all sorts of wonderful "extra stops" which made the tour very special.

We loved your beautiful country and the wonderful scenery in every part.  The car performed excellently and the hotels/guest houses were very nice and friendly.  Also, our "greeter" at the airport was very friendly and full of interesting information about Iceland.  We can highly recommend our whole experience dealing with Nordic Visitor and can enthusiastically encourage our friends and family to visit your amazing country.  

We were thrilled with the accommodations and really everything about the tour.  We're planning on writing a more detailed email to share how much we enjoyed this trip thanks to Arnar's arrangements. We would have checked off "Excellent"  if that had been a survey qualifier that was available.  Thank you very much for helping us to explore Iceland.  We LOVED it and I hope we are able to return in the future.  If we do - we will definitely use your services again.

We had a great time on our trip. All hotel accommodations were very nice and the check-in process was very easy. The pick-up and return of the rental car was very easy and the staff at Avis were very knowledgeable and helpful. Sofia was absolutely great to work with and she answered all of our questions promptly. At last count, I had emailed her approximately 35 times with questions ;-) All material provided before our departure and upon our arrival in Stockholm were very useful and helpful. We previously used Nordic Visitor for a trip to Iceland a few years ago, and will use Nordic again for a trip to see the Northern Lights! Thank you for a fabulous, worry-free vacation!

Quality of hotels was exceptional value for money. The service provided by staff at hotels and car rental exceptional. Best tour operator I've ever used. From the first point of contact very professional and fully understood my needs from the trip.  Airport collection and collection for car rental, exactly on time. Collection for our flight home exactly on time.  Iceland, the best county I've every visited cant wait to return.

Everyone was amazing at the company that Nordic Visitor used for this trip, very professional people, the staff very friendly and very knowleagable of the are, loved it. This is my second trip with Nordic Visitor and I am a big fan of this company and the staff, always answering my questions and customizing my needs of what I want to do. The overall experience in Lapland was amazing and very well organized, you always feel taking care of without been pushing, so you feel also free to do your things. I highly recommend travelling with Nordic Visitor.

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 loved this tour. Our guide for the Northern Lights tour was certainly an 'interesting' fellow but took us to an isolated place where we could view the lights without a million other people being there and gave us great instruction on how to take good photos. I am very impressed with his knowledge and his enthusiasm to get us to the best spot and get the most out of the experience.

Our guides for the dog sledding and super jeep tours were also great. I really appreciated the concern our super jeep guide gave for the well being of our 18 month old son and his willingness to interact and entertain him while us adults ducked out to see the sights. All in all a great experience.

Your service far exceeded our expectations. The information provided in the welcome pack far exceeded what we expected and the information on what restaurants and activities were open over the Xmas period was very helpful.

We had a fantastic time. Iceland was wonderful to visit and we are still on a high. Thank you for helping us to get the most out of the visit and i really hope that we will make it back there during the summer season so we can see what is underneath all that snow!

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!!!

Nordic Visitor made the trip idiot-proof. We had just done 10 days in Scotland where we were responsible for many of the arrangements. We didn't have that problem in Iceland as everything was carefully laid-out for us. It was one of the easiest international trips I've ever taken!

We have used Nordic Visitor before and were once again impressed by the quality of the rental car and hotels. The service from Helga was termendous! The package is so detailed that you don't feel like you could miss anything and provides the flexibility to change on a dime as weather/situations arise. Again, very happy with the service.

We are delighted with the tour package that Anita at Nordic Visitor arranged for us. Iceland is spectacular, just absolutely stunning in natural wonders. I can't believe how much we managed to see and do in our seven days. I'm confident this was possible because of Nordic Visitor. This was my first time booking a vacation through a travel agency and it made things so much easier than slapping together a bunch of random stuff from the internet and hoping for the best.  We were able to fit a lot into our schedule because of Nordic Visitor's excellent planning. The maps, Road Atlas book, and GPS allowed us to maximize every single day. It seemed like we were getting the best rooms at each hotel, with gorgeous views of the landscape. There was no time wasted having to figure out transportation or directions or where to stay. The map included handwritten suggestions of interesting places to stop (we loved the homemade ice cream on the Golden Circle portion).  In particular I appreciated how organized everything was. The voucher system worked great and allowed us to pay for nearly the entire trip in advance and then just enjoy ourselves on arrival. Through Nordic Visitor we booked excursions to the Blue Lagoon, an amphibian boat tour on the glacier lagoon, a glacier hike, and the Inside the Volcano tour. Every single day something magical happened that we couldn't have expected. Horses being herded down the road by our car, a cat trying to sneak into our hotel during a rainstorm, tasting the inventive and awesome variety of Icelandic candy. And we saw the Northern Lights, a lifelong dream come true!  The diverse and unspoiled landscape was remarkably inspiring. The people were kind, calm, patient, and helpful. There is a strong creative energy in Iceland too. We had an amazing time in Iceland and have been so excited to share stories of our vacation with friends and family. I would love to return to one day and would absolutely book thr

We found the entire holiday most pleasurable and well orgainise by your company. Your holiday pre planning and follow up was exceptional. Sigfus was very helful, prompt and professional, we could not have been happier with your organisations delivery of this service. Iceland was a truely amazing experience for us.

From the beginning to the end of my tour, I could not be more pleased with every facet of the tour: accommodations, travel, meals... it was WONDERFUL! When I initially communicated with Kolbrun and outlined my needs and desires, she really heard what I wanted and every detail was perfect. I am very grateful to her for a 10-out-of-10 holiday. Until this holiday in Norway, I have always arranged all of my own travel. This long-awaited trip to Norway was finally a dream to be realized and I wanted it to be the best possible experience. As a single senior woman traveling alone I decided instead of making all of the decisions for myself, I was going to treat myself to a carefree holiday. And, it was! Everything arranged by Kolbrun Sigurdardottir was perfect to my needs: lovely hotels, excellent food, easy train, bus and ferry connections. A lovely surprise was the extra I felt was afforded to me as a Nordic Visitor client. Thank you for a beautiful memory.

We would like to thank Nordic Visitor for our well planned and organised trip. With so many forms of transport and hotels to book, we felt it was best to use an agency. Our whole trip ran like clockwork and the information provided as part of our itinerary was invaluable ensuring we got the most out of our time in each city. Thanks again to Jennie and Cecilia.

The hotels surpassed our expectations. We were impressed by the kindness of the Icelandic people. Thank you for making this a wonderful trip for our family. We hope to return soon to Iceland and would certain plan to use your services again.

The map with all the suggestions on it about different places to stop to eat or visit was very helpful. We wish we could have done them all but we did quite a few & they were all amazing. I have actually already referred 2 people to your company as after seeing our vacation pictures, they now want to see Iceland for themselves.

A wonderful route to experience the diverse and wild beauty of Iceland, marvel at the birds and horses, get a taste of its history and culture and enjoy warm hospitality. The itinerary and suggestions covered a broad range to suit all inclinations. The extra suggestions and bits of advice that picked up on our interests specifically were valuable. We loved it all whatever the weather!

All the accommodation was excellent. The places we stayed were interesting, beautiful, varied and of a very high quality. Obviously some very careful research went into them. Thank you Arnar! ...The scenery and natural features were exceptional and so accessible although I don't think Nordic Visitor can claim credit for that! We got very lucky with the car being upgraded for free as this made a massive difference to our driving comfort. We also got very lucky in that my dive tour of Silfra was private. I was the only diver with 3 dive masters...Overall we had an exceptional trip and were very impressed with Iceland, its culture, its people, its beer and its Geology. We hope to come back! Thanks Arnar, you did a brilliant job and good luck learning to dive!

Once again many thanks. This being the 2nd time we've used Nordic Visitor (the first was in Tromsø Norway) we would certainly recommend you and use you again. Takk!

The itinerary and road map provided by Nordic Visitor were perfect. Things to see along the way were clearly marked. Distances between accommodations were perfect, getting us in to each place at a reasonable hour without too much driving time. Iceland is a beautiful country, and considering the time we had to spend there, Nordic's itinerary helped optimize the experience. It also gave us a good sense for what else we would like to see and do when we visit again. Thanks to Nordic Visitor for doing all the hard work, the planning, arranging of transportation and accommodations, and for routing us through wonderful towns and scenery. Your hard work made our visit all the more enjoyable and safe. For future planning, on top of what Nordic Visitor charges, for this tour we budgeted and spent about $150 US per day for gas, food, activities, etc. We could have spent much more than that, but this was our experience without feeling we had to be too thrifty.

I really wouldn't change a thing for this visit. Our son works in Iceland and we shared this adventure with him. For all of us, this was a great adventure and the best possible way to see some of Iceland in a short period of time, and at a reasonable expense.

We are extremely happy with the Express Iceland package that Nordic Visitor prepared for us. We did find that we had to keep a tight schedule in order to visit all of the recommended destinations in the day-to-day itineraries, but that is probably the nature of the express tour. That said, Solveig did a great job preparing our itinerary (as well as marking our map), and all of the recommended destinations we visited were absolutely wonderful. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay in Iceland longer! We can't wait to visit again, and we will surely be using Nordic Visitor again. Additionally, we will happily recommend Nordic Visitor to our family, friends, and coworkers who are interested in visiting Iceland. Thanks!

The accommodations were excellent and so nice not to have to look for a hotel.  The food for breakfast was such a variety and very good.

The "self-driving tour was very well planned out for us.  the accommodations were excellent. The routes which were planned for us were very scenic and gave us a beautiful picture of Norway. We appreciated the added information in our booklet, ferry schedule, and individual maps of larger cities.

Breakfasts at all hotels excellent. Very good variety and quantity at suitable times. Check in/check out at reception quick and efficient with pleasant staff.  Rooms were very clean and of a good size.  Location and proximity of hotels to train stations and town/city centres was excellent. 

A terrific experience. Customer service was great. We loved the train travel. Scenery magnificent - waterfalls, mountains, snow, fjords, valleys, Flam railway. Comfort class worth the extra cost. Wow! A once in a lifetime trip for us. We will treasure our memories (and photos). Thanks for helping us to achieve a wonderful holiday.

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.

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.

We had a really great time! Norway was beautiful and it was a pleasure to be able to absorb our surroundings comfortable in the knowledge that we were in safe hands. The small group size made the tour feel quite personal and we got to meet some great people. Special credit to our tour guide, Line. She was very professional, an excellent conversationalist, very well traveled and made all the details that would normally frustrate us (timetables, transportation, etc,) seem quite effortless.  During the course of our tour, we also met two other employees of Nordic Visitor (Bjorn and a woman whose name escapes me!) They represented Nordic Visitor extremely well and reinforced my confidence in possible future tours with your company.

We have recently completed the 9 day Natural Wonders of Iceland Tour with Nordic visitor and were very happy with our tour. We were a little apprehensive initially about booking with an unknown operator.Coming from Australia, there is not a lot on offer from travel agents. Mostly overpriced tours, that did not seem to offer value for money in comparison to this tour and with some the hotel accommodation details were not provided which made us very nervous about booking with them.

We normally would prefer to do our own self drive tour, but driving on the opposite side of the road with possibly icy roads, had scared us into booking a small group tour and in hindsight we are glad we did.Although the roads did seem on the most part to be fairly easy to navigate, it was very relaxing to let someone else take care of transporting us between the beautiful locations.

We were extremely lucky with our tour guide 'Rakel', who was absolutely wonderful. She made our tour even more amazing with her funny commentary, patience, and warm personality.

The tour itself was nicely broken up, with plenty of breaks, and a little exercise most days. Our tour guide was very accommodating with the walkers of the group and would organise extra impromptu walking time whenever we got the chance. We were particularly grateful for that, as it allowed us to eat all of the delicious three course meals each night, with a relatively guilt free conscience.

The bus itself was comfortable enough, however might be a little compact for particularly tall people or large framed people.

Our accommodation on the whole was very good. Every hotel was spotless, with comfy beds and warm showers. Some were in more striking location than others, but we did not have a bad experience at any of the hotels.

My partner and I have just returned from three months travelling around Europe with one of our stops being in Iceland for 3 weeks. We booked to drive around Iceland for 2 weeks with Nordic Visitor after booking a trip with them to Greenland. Iceland we have to say was the highlight of our trip. The fact that the car, hotels, activities were arranged prior to us landing was a great time saver. The welcome pack was a very pleasant surprise. The only negative point we had is the GPS sometimes did not pick up some of the hotels / activities we were scheduled to go to, to have a GPS pre-programmed waiting at the rental car company would more than exceed expectations. All in all we will definitely be using Nordic Visitor for our next trip to Iceland.

I have always wanted to visit Iceland for the geology and scenery. I had the chance to go with my grown-up daughter for a week and we booked with Nordic Visitor as they offer such a great range of trips and activities. The attention to detail was exceptional. All our chosen activities were fitted into the basic tour including horse riding, Blue Lagoon, glacier walking and whale-watching. Vouchers for car hire, accommodation and all activities were arranged in order of use, so were super easy to use. We also explored a little outside the itinerary, by asking the local Icelanders for recommendations, and by doing this found some hidden gems, like the Soil Conservation Association, and a wreck of an American Navy DC-3. It was a fantastic experience and we would love to go back. Thank you to Nordic Visitor for all your help xx

We were exceptionally pleased with our 7-day Express Iceland self-driving tour along the Ring Road. Nordic Visitor took care of all the details, and we hit no snags whatsoever in the rental car, accommodations, airport transfers, etc. Our Nordic Visitor representative was a master in communication - extremely prompt, helpful, and courteous. We will definitely be looking into this company again for other Scandinavian trips. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Everything went extremely well & efficiently.

Everything was great!  The car was a small Mercedes that got great gas mileage. The hotels were very nice, centrally located, professional staff, several had windows over waterways, and all the breakfasts were fantastic... The trip itinerary was well planned and gave us a great exposure to many parts of Norway. A local mentioned that we had seen more of Norway than many Norwegians. The inclusion of ferry schedules w/ fares, city maps, vouchers and personalized book with all the details of our trip was invaluable. I wouldn't have know how to plan a trip like this from U.S. and it was perfect in many ways. Thank you Nordic Visitor.

Our trip was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you are struggling with how to get started planning a great adventure in Scandinavia.  It was very comforting to be able to contact our travel consultant via e-mail prior to travel and while traveling when we had questions.

Bjarni was excellent, thorough, and very responsive. He picked a superb hotel in Oslo (Continental) which spoiled us for the next leg of our vacation in Germany. Luggage transfer from Flom to Oslo was a great idea and worked very well - thanks again, Bjarni. I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to several fellow travelers and would definitely use your services again!

WE are widely travelled and this tour is a highlight. From the word go you have paid meticulous attention to detail, but in a very friendly way. Kolbrun was prompt in her replies to our sometimes trivial questions. There were no omissions to the detailed information and it was provided in an organised format. This holiday certainly had the WOW factor!

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.

Thank you very much to Sirry for organising everything for us. She did a fantastic job, and everything went off very smoothly. We have come back to South Africa with very special memories of a wonderful holiday spent in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

The travel maps came in very handy! With the maps you could easily find everything...We would definitily recommend Nordic Visitors to our friends and hope we can come back soon. We didn't had to worry about anything. Sofia managed to put in all the fun, without the stress.  It was an unforgetteble expirience and we thank Nordic Visiter for this!

Our additions were easily accommodated. Really appreciated airport pickup and drop off. Recommendations on what to see were very helpful.

We both felt the whole package was really well organised and structured.  The road map was well marked with things of interest and the Iceland Road Guide was an excellent source book. Hotels were good quality and staff were helpful and really welcoming. Meals in hotels were good. Meals in restaurants were invariably good and (particularly Nordic Visitor's recommendation in Stokkseyri) often excellent

I'm convinced that Nordic Visitor sells a high quality and well organised product. We enjoyed our Iceland experience hugely and I'm certain our family will return. This was a great experience of a beautiful country.

This was my 4th time in Iceland and by far the best.  The self drive allowed me to see so much more of beautiful Iceland than just staying in Reykjavik and taking tours to other areas.  Nordic Visitor made it so easy, having our itinerary ready, hotels booked, and tours made ahead of time.  The distance between hotels was perfect, giving us plenty of time to stop, explore and relax.  Hilmar was very accommodating to our needs, booking extra excursions for ahead of time. I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor.

This was a wonderful vacation. The natural wonders of Iceland are fabulous, and the trip was very educational about the geologic forces shaping the country. We also enjoyed learning some of the history of Iceland, and interacting with people we met along the way. Our trip was too short, our next visit will be longer and at a less intensive pace.

Booking with Nordic Visitor was the best choice made. Hilmar was very professional and knowledgeable. We received a very nice Welcome Kit with a lot of very useful information and a map with the route highlighted and hotels listed. This was very useful for us on our journey through Iceland.

I travel around the world and have been in every continent and used many travel agencies.  Nordic visitor ranks as one of the best in organization and trip support that I have experienced and I would highly recommend them for any tour planning.

On our customized map, there were a few notes such as "home made ice cream", or "cozy coffee shop". We have taken advantage of those, and were really happy that we did. We appreciated those notes...For our trip, we had planned to arrive a few days before the beginning of the tour, and we stayed one day after. Our personalized itinerary took this into account and was customized accordingly. Our pick up was there on time, again to go along the private portion of our trip. The taxi driver (Velur) went on to be our first Icelandic ambassador as well. FYI, we were impressed enough by your services that we have talked to someone about it already.

Everything was excellent!

Our questions were answered very quickly and our agent, Aevar, was extremely helpful. Our package was put together thoughtfully. It all came together very smoothly which made our trip very pleasant and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed everything we did. We feel fortunate to have had such a nice experience. Iceland is a beautiful country and its people, very friendly. We hope to have the opportunity to visit again! We will definitely recommend Nordic Visitor.

Our guide Alfred Moller was terrific. He was knowledgeable and was willing to help us with our photography questions. He was also a very confident and competent driver. The group size was perfect - I did not want to be with a very large group. Overall the hotels and food were good, and the pace was good as well. I had a great time. Thank you for being so well organized with the travel documents, vouchers, suggestions etc.

Kolbrun was wonderful. She answered all my questions and more up front and provided exceptional service. We spent 5 weeks in Scandinavia and this last week finished it off beautifully in a calm and relaxing pace in wonderful places.

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 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...

All accommodations very good.  No issues whatsoever.

This was my second tour with Nordic Visitor. In 2014 I booked a tour of Iceland through Nordic Visitor, and that was also a very positive experience.  I will definitely use Nordic Visitor again in all my future travels to Scandinavia.

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 Magnúsdóttir 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 Ms. Cecilia Markov 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 Ms. Cecilia Markov 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!

I am a lifelong independent and pragmatic traveller who is used to arranging and organising all aspects of my trips including rearranging etc. for adverse weather, environmental and political reasons, so I was not surprised for the reason your office called me on the first night (as I already knew there was a huge storm coming), but by the fact they called at all. This was my first time booking an organised package and have been more than pleased with your outstanding service and very happy that I chose you.

We were extremely satisfied with the services provided. Nordic visitor supplied us with everything and more needed to make our vacation in Iceland a dream come true. We have already recommended them to our family planning a trip next year!

My wife and I decided to go to Iceland for our honeymoon, and spent some time researching various travel agencies that would help you book a tour of the country. We decided to go with Nordic Visitor's "Winter Romance" package, and it was just perfect.

Nordic Visitor was very thorough in booking lots of wonderful places for us to travel to (in our own rental car, rather than on a tour bus or something), and took all the stress out of trying to plan the tour ourselves. Corresponding with them was fast and easy and they made sure we had everything necessary in order to have the best trip possible. If you decide to plan a similar trip with them, I'd definitely recommend opting for some of the optional activities -- snowmobiling on a glacier is something we'll never forget!

I highly recommend Nordic Visitor for all your Icelandic travel needs! 

The hotels were excellent. Even better than we needed on a quick tour. All transportation connections were excellent, and the agents and conductors accepted invoices with no problems. It saved us much effort in figuring out how to get from Bergen, on to Flam, up the special steep train trip from Flan, and then the train for Oslo. Breakfast at each hotel were fine. 

I called it an "un-tour" since there was not really a tour group. However, the arrangement left us some adventure in planning our time and visits in each city, while the tour provided the basic structure for us.

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...

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.

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!

Thanks Helena for a hassle-free booking process and wonderful travel experience.

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

The and service was perfect!

Our trip was well-planned and we had all the information we needed to make it hassle free from the different connections throughout the countries we traveled. The choice of hotels was excellent as they were centrally located to both sightseeing and public transportation. We highly recommend to any traveler to Scandinavia utilizing the planning services of Nordic Visitor. Thank You for a fun, interesting and most enjoyable vacation.

Just completed our Round the Iceland trip yesterday. all arranged by Maria from Nordic visitor. very highly recommended agency! everything arranged timely, precisely, all we needed is enjoy this wonderful country. as many of you know, Bardarbunga was showing signs of life last week. we were kept up to date by the agency workers, reassured. got all help advise and paperwork on time very happy travellers, will definitely use them again!

We did the South Iceland Leisure Self-Drive Package. The booking was very easy, the hotels & services were above expectation, and the suggested itinerary provided was perfect for what we wanted to do in Iceland. Aside from this, our agent at Nordic Visitor was courteous, professional, and ensured we were informed of news relevant to our trip while in Iceland (the Bardarbunga volcano for example). I would definitely book again and recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends.

to choose "Nordic visitor" was the best choice. We had 2 wonder fulls weeks.

The hotels were very comfortable and in a very good location.

All the organisation was good.

For any question I always had quickly answer.

We didn't have to care about nothing except the flights.

It was a pleasure visit Scandinavia with Nordic visitor

Arranged a self drive tour of Iceland through Nordic Visitor (Iceland Complete Tour). Was very impressed with the quality of service. Accommodations, Vehicle rental etc was of excellent quality. The biggest initial reason for using Nordic Visitor was the quality of their web site. It is very detailed and informative. Their staff responded well and quickly to any questions and concerns we had. Am looking to do a self drive tour of Norway and Nordic Visitor will be my first choice as my travel agent. 

Very good organization, All Hotel perfect and the combination of transport cruise train and flight was very good for us We enjoy all cities and all travels One of our best familiar experiences.

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.

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 to Cecelia 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.

My husband, fifteen year old son and I just returned from the 10-day Iceland Full Circel self-drive tour. Iceland is beautiful and unspoiled. The topography is someting we have never seen -- from mountains and glaciers to lava and geysirs and boiling mud pits -- every day we saw somethine unique and amazing.

We cannot say enough about Larus and the travel arrangements and information provided by Nordic Visitor. From the initial contact to departure Larus was professional, prompt and helpful. We had one small glitch with the GPS from the rental car company on the way out of Reykjavik. I called Larus and within 20 minutes we had a new one and were on our way. While we never had another issue, we knew if we did, it would be solved quickly and easily.

The information provided -- a road map with our suggested driving route, hotels and points-of-interest highlighted was invaluable. The guide book with suggested stops and information about every stop was excellent. We chose the "mid-range" accomodations -- they were all lovely and unique. 

The amount of driving each day perfectly matched what sights were in the area. We never felt rushed to get to the next stop and never felt like we had too much time. I am a planner and I could not have planned a better trip. We had the freedom of a self-drive, but the support and coordination of someone who knew the country.

I cannot recommend Iceland and Nordic Visitor enough. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

We had taken 9 days group tour as a part our 25th Wedding anniversary celebration. It was very wonderfull experience. They managed bookin and tour in top class professionla way right from the booking to execution. All the hotels were clean and very managed with top quality food. Only negative was Bathrooms are small (I guess that is the case in most of the European hotels especially 3 star category).

The selection of places to visit the explaination of history as well as stories around the places we visited was facinating. We have seen some of the most beutiful places , water falls, glaciers, country side, mountains, lavas etc in this tour making it a very memorable 25th wedding anniversary celebrations for us.

I am writing to express my appreciation for the outstanding support provide to my wife and me by Kolbrún Sigurðardóttir, Travel Consultant, during our recent visit to Norway.  

During the planning stages, Kolbrun was extremely helpful, answering all of our questions by email quickly and fully. We chose the “comfort” accommodations and all of the hotels she selected were outstanding. The fjord region is absolutely beautiful and I think it important to actually drive the region to really appreciate it. 

Again, we always knew that Kolbrun was there to help us if we needed it and we thank you for her services.  

Exceptional service from Nordic Visitor from start to end! Had a fantastic time in Iceland and can't wait to be back!

All of the hotels were very nice. Rooms were adequate and clean. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was served at every hotel, which was very nice. Super Jeep/Snowmobiling tour was fantastic. Probably the best thing I've ever done. Amazing feeling being up on the glacier. Incidentally, we mistakenly took the closed road to get to the tour, got stuck in snow, and the Tour Guide pulled us out and escorted us to where we should have been. He was great!

Jelena was fantastic to work with! We had a lot of communication prior to the trip, she was very responsive to my questions and requests. We were able to book everything as we wanted it -- and during the trip we decided to change a few of our hotel stays and that was no problem at all! I loved the flexibility of the trip and the self-drive aspect. We were able to enjoy a trip of a lifetime with no worries! Everything was taken care of for us. Iceland is a mysterious and beautiful country -- nothing like I've ever seen before. I loved every minute of my trip! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the country in this way.

The tour guides in each city were charming and very knowledgeable. The accommodations were lovely and the included breakfasts at each hotel and on the ship were generous and delicious. The trip was well organized and we had a fabulous time.

Perfect planning, consultance, preparations and support by Nordic Visitor. All (from site to emails) is clear, to the point, practical and responsive. Everything moved like clockwork although the rugged country and tricky weather are not easily manageable. Iceland has endless beauty to offer, Icelanders are few but friendly, sensible and thorough and so the outcome was a smooth and fantastic trip. Also, food throughout was excellent and little Reykjavik is as creatively trendy as any hype metropolis.

Beautiful country accommodations. Travelling made easy. I was unfortunate to be held in Akureyri due to bad weather & closed roads. However, my advisor re-arranged my schedule and accommodation. A big help in such unforeseen situation.

…Cecilia Markov (the person I was working with predominantly at your company) is AMAZING! I can't say enough about her - she was patient, and friendly and made the tour memorable. I cannot say enough about our service I received from your company. The attention to detail was wonderful not only from your company but the service providers you use was wonderful. It made me feel so incredibly special.

Our trip was handled very professionally from start to finish and our travel consultant, Kolbrún is very patient in answering any questions we have. We enjoyed most parts of the trip and wish we had more time to stay longer. Bergen and Tromso were our favourite especially our Aurora Hunting Tour with Marcus, absolutely spot on. Overall, we had an amazing experience in Norway, couldn't ask for more. Looking forward to another Scandinavian trip and Nordic Visitor is definitely our choice of travel agent.

Everything was great. All the guesthouses were very kind with us. It was an unforgettable trip around Iceland. The Nordic Visitor did a very good service since the booking of tour until the end. The ten days in Iceland were completely unique for us with great beauty. The northern lights made this wonderful trip more exciting. Everybody should come in winter! It is so precious!

Nordic Visitor was the perfect agency to set up our wonderful Iceland tour over new years. Setting up transport, wonderful hotels, even dinner reservations at the best restaurants. Everything was prebooked and prearranged which made our trip flow seamlessly. All the vouchers and plans were given to us upon arrival in a lovely book as well as other helpful information about the country. The itinerary that was set up for us was wonderful- the sights were breathtaking. For those wanting to tour Iceland but not get on a single bus to do so- this is it!!!

This was only my second time out of the United States, the first gong to Indonesia where my sister-in-law lived and provided all guidance. Booking a trip like this was daunting for me but I was blessed to have Larus as my travel consultant. Larus always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries, and provided expert advice which were dead on accurate and helpful. With Larus I never felt I was doing this alone and felt informed. I feel I need to credit Larus with a lot of the success of our trip!

What Nordic Visitor provides travelers with is very impressive. It seems that a lot of homework is done to scout out fantastic places to stay and make reservations for. The visitor package they gave us on arrival was appreciated and thoughtful from the traveler’s viewpoint.

We used NV for our self-drive tour of Southern Iceland. It made planning our trip a piece of cake as our package included airport transfers, car rental, hotels, and itinerary suggestions by day. A cell phone and GPS was also provided in the car rental. The guest houses and hotels that NV arranged were all fantastic, and I'm not sure id have even known where to begin in such a sparsely populated area. NV offered to book any adventures for us but we ended up just booking hem ourselves online. Our agent, Hilmar, was easily and promptly accessible by email before our trip to answer all questions. We had one mishap/miscommunication in our schedule and Hilmar and Nordic Visitors quickly rectified the inconvenience without hassle. I was so impressed with this company. If we go to another country within their reach, I wouldn't hesitate to use Nordic Visitor again.

I just want to say thank you for the detailed care and attention you gave to us before and during our trip. The hardest decision we had to make in Iceland was what souvenirs to buy!

Communication from Nordic Visitor was fantastic! Talking with the consultants, it was almost like talking to a friend who was giving advice & knowledge about their previous vacations, rather than a faceless travel consultant. I would recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone.

This trip far surpassed my expectations. What a beautiful country AND we got lucky and saw the Northern Lights on our second to last day. This tour allows for the freedom to go at your own pace while the Nordic Visitor guidebook aptly suggests an itinerary that is worth following. We were not disappointed at all. The convenience of not having to research places to stay was the reason that we used Nordic Visitor, for I would not have known where to begin to book guesthouses in some of the remote areas in Southern Iceland. Hilmar was fantastic - always a prompt email response away - which was another level of convenience that made travelling to a foreign country that much easier. After seeing the photos that we took, I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to three friends just in case they decide to visit. I can't say enough nice things about my experience with the company.

Planning for Iceland was always going to be an issue for my partner and I due to our rather hectic work schedules, fortunately Nordic Visitor took care of everything for us.

It started with a quote that ended up being cheaper than three other competitors we had contacted, for pretty much exactly the same hotels and services. They were very good at tweaking parts of the trip to cater for our needs and went the extra mile in making sure all was the way we wanted it to be. 

The planning which we received prior to departure, and again on arrival, was thorough and easy to comprehend. Times, schedules and information provided was all well documented and meant we had little to do in the run up to our trip.

We had opted for the self-drive full circle tour of the island and thanks to all the information could easily plan our days. The only downside is you do not realise until in Iceland how slow going from A to B can be. The 1 road is certainly not your average motorway, so you need to give yourself plenty of time to get places. It may be a bit confusing to novices who hope to see everything listed in the information booklets.

We were particularly happy about the customer care. Although we are a very self sufficient couple, use to tackling more treacherous terrains, it was really nice that Nordic Visitor took time to check-in with us to see that all was going to plan. The mobile phone given to us came in very handy too.

Overall, the only slight problem we faced was with the car rental company for a tiny chip in the windshield which cost us the full franchise... not something Nordic Visitor could do much about (freak accidents happen... on road 1, three miles out of Reykjavik of all places!) - maybe a heads up to visitors that they really ought to take extra insurance (thankfully we did, otherwise a new windshield would have cost us near a 1000$...)

In conclusion I would not he

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.

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.
