Nordic Visitor Reviews 

Both tours (Scandinavia & Iceland) were amazing! Everything was well organized but also flexible. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Adjustments were made along the way for those of us who are not as young as we used to be. This was greatly appreciated by a number of tour members.
I loved the rib-boat experience in Flam and the snowstorm in Iceland was a huge bonus!!
Loved it all.

Gabriela was excellent. She organized an amazing trip for us and was always available for any questions or concerns.
Gabriella set up all our tours and transport and every tour was exceptional.
Gummy took us to the Northern Lights. His enthusiasm was contagious and we got to see the Northern lights while drinking delicious hot chocolate. Wendy took us on a southern tour and we got to see the tectonic plates, geyser, and many other amazing sites.
Davila took us on the Gold Coast tour and we walked behind a waterfall. We had a wonderful walking tour led by Arno who was so knowledgeable! We learned a lot and would highly recommend Gabriella and Nordic visitor for an Iceland vacation!

My then fiancé and I wanted to travel to Iceland for our honeymoon. We weren't sure if we should book everything ourselves or go through a travel agency. We ended up choosing Nordic Visitor, and we loved every second of it! We enjoyed the options they offered and loved that we could customize our stay as well (we booked a snorkeling excursion).

Our northern lights tour was unfortunately canceled on our first night, and our travel agent, Zachary, helped reschedule it (twice) for us with no issue. Our second day in Iceland, our Blue Lagoon trip was canceled due to horrible weather, but just as before, it was rescheduled for a different day immediately.

If I had any questions about where to eat or where we could download pictures from after an excursion, our agent emailed back in a timely manner. It felt great having someone within reach when I needed them.

We loved every single one of our tour guides! They really made our trip special. Overall, it was a lovely honeymoon, and we highly recommend Nordic Visitor!

We just completed the Nordic Visitor 17-day self-driving Grand Tour of Scotland tour and it was an amazing trip. Our travel advisor Jana Machalkova was so patient answering our many pre-trip questions. Jana also helped us customize the trip and made wonderful suggestions about hikes we could do, which was a high priority for us. She was very responsive to our email questions and kept us updated on the booking process. We were impressed to pick up the travel packet she prepared for us at our first hotel in Edinburgh, with vouchers for each night's lodging and ferry ride vouchers to the 5 different islands we would visit. Most impressive was the very large map of Scotland she provided - with the suggested driving route highlighted in one color, and suggested sites in another color. This was invaluable. Everything went like clockwork. Our itinerary involved driving a total of 1,700 miles over 17 days -- some days that many miles seemed like too much, but we were the ones who wanted an itinerary to see as much of Scotland as we could ... and we did! Nordic Visitor even provided a booklet with suggested restaurants for each city. Finally, Jana went above and beyond when she was able to retrieve 3 hats (one a new tweed cap that we had just purchased) that we accidentally left in our rental car. With Jana's help, they arrived today (we're in the U.S.). My husband was thrilled to get his cherished hats back. We highly recommend Jana and Nordic Visitor! Thank you for a trip of a lifetime.

Nordic Visitor was an awesome partner in planning and arranging our trip to Scandinavia. We worked directly with a travel advisor through all pre travel activities. Everything worked out great during the trip and we were well prepared by our advisor. The company offers guided tours but we choose independent travel. They arranged for hotels, transportation and day excursions. The hotels were either Scandic or Thon properties and all were clean, spacious and well located. They offer two levels of hotels and we stayed at the higher level which were 3 and 4 star.

Definitely include the Norway in a Nutshell journey if you are traveling to Norway. We also recommend making dinner reservations or at least planning your dinners in advance. Breakfasts are included. We went on several food tours so lunches were covered.

We thank Nordic Visitor so much for arranging such a wonderful trip. Everything was perfect in providing spectacular scenery and a variety of impressive accommodations. We had a great time despite a few problems. First of all, one of our two pieces of baggage never showed up at the Munich airport but we managed with fewer clothing changes. Secondly, and more importantly, the navigation on our Sixt car rental was antiquated and difficult to follow despite the assistance of maps. This was after we had rejected two other cars at the rental as we depend heavily on vocal navagiton. However, we still managed to arrive at our destinations in time and only got lost when listening to locals. All in all, it was a fascinating experience arranged by Nordic Visitor and is why I've stayed with them over the years for my trip planning.

The trip was extremely well organized. The company gives you a personal contact to answer all your questions, communicating frequently. Marko was ours and he was fantastic. Very responsive. Our Guide for the tour was Kiddi. He was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. It was especially good to be “in his hands” during a record breaking freak snowstorm. We hit all the key sights and more. It was great having the flexibility to make stops off itinerary. A great trip.

Communication with Nordic Visitor was quick and easy. All aspects of our trip, the travel, tours, excursions, and lodging, were seamless and easy to navigate throughout each stop in Norway.
I highly recommend this company and the packages they have available!

We did a 8 day/7 night northern lights circle tour in Iceland, including an extra additional day before the tour began so we were there from Oct 21 until the 29th. This was our first international trip. Markó Puskás, our travel consultant, made sure our booking inquiries were answered promptly as well as ensured our transports in between hotel and airport were covered. Our tour guide Aron was more than amazing. Very knowledgeable, hilarious, and always kept our group engaged with the entire tour. While showing and transporting us from the structured schedule of the circle tour, he always included history and local stories. I wouldn’t have asked for anyone better than him! And I would love to also thank our wonderful food tour guide, Dagur. Another yet amazing enthusiastic and hilarious individual who made sure we were well fed on such wonderful cuisine here in Reykjavík. Always kept the group engaged and laughing along the way. Thank you all so much for making this very special for us.

This was a truly wonderful experience.

My travel advisor Marko promptly answered all my email questions, kept me informed of the booking process, and even provided suggestions for tours before/after our Nordic Visitor tour.

Our driver/guide Reynir did a fine job. He talked just enough during our journey to keep us interested without talking too much. He was a very good organizer, keeping is informed of when/where to be someplace. He was an excellent driver.

There was enough activity each day. Most days on the minibus from 9-5. Usually 3-4 different stops. Most were nature related, but there were cultural stops as well. At almost every stop people could explore at their own pace which was very important as the group had a wide variety of fitness levels. The sights were amazing!

Our accommodations ranged from good to outstanding. The food was excellent at all the hotels. The service everywhere was very good.

I would strongly recommend this tour.

Lauriane was amazing. We booked a 10 day driving trip in Scotland. She consistantly communicated with us, advising us on options and setting up all our request. We stayed in a wide variety of inns/hotels/lodges all fabulous. We were late one night to check in and Nordic Visitors called us to make sure we were ok.
The documentation we received was extreamly helpful. We recieved a book with a peronsal itinerary, 147 places to visit by location, a restaurant list, driving instruction and other useful information.
We added addtional dates at the end of the Nordic trip and they handled all the reservations. I would encourage anyone planning a trip to look at Nordic Visitors. You won't be disappointed. We will be taking another trip next year with them to Ireland! Can't wait!!!!!

We love having everything pre-booked in terms of lodging and travel. It makes everything so much easier and it's great to know if you need help, someone is a quick email or phone call away. We had a storm come through during our stay in Ireland and the company called to check in on us and make sure everything was OK.

We love working with Nordic Visitor. They are very organized and we never feel lost on our trips. They suggest wonderful sites to see and we pick and choose what we want to do.

This is our third trip with Nordic Visitor and it won't be out last.

My wife and I took the Nordic Visitor Iceland Full Circle Classic tour. From before landing in Iceland all the way through the very last detail of our departure, our Travel Consultant, Marko Puskas, was with us. What makes Nordic Visitor so exceptional is that they are detail oriented and thorough, leaving no stone unturned and nothing to chance. What makes Marko so exceptional is that he is a consummate communicator who anticipates and follows up quickly without fail.

Iceland was totally new to us: not only uncharted but practically off the map from my perspective. Although it was only my wife and me driving around all of Iceland, we knew we were never alone. We always had a lifeline back to Marko, one we used on occasion

Our travel through Iceland was a bit daring for someone in his 70s. Nordic Visitor and especially Marko inspired total confidence, making our whole experience seamless and unforgettable.

Nordic Visitor Travel Consultant, GABRIELA SKLENÁŘOVÁ has been so helpful even months before the trip.
She provided very useful information and was very prompt in her replies.
Mr Hávar, the tour manager and driver took pains to drive very carefully despite the rain and provided interesting information about Iceland sites , culture and myths .Mr Hávar is very knowledgeable and friendly. Both of them made my holiday so enjoyable.

Michelle Walsh was wonderful planning our trip. She listened to our needs and adjusted accordingly. The accompanying documents are very detailed and helpful. The road map was also very useful.

This is our second time using Nordic Visitor and they are amazing! We will be planning a trip with them again.

We had good communication with Nordic Visitor before and after the trip. They provided good explanation of itineraries, breakfast, lodging and travel. Our guides, Dave (Scotland) and Geoff (Ireland) were fantastic and tailored the trip to our interests. The welcome package with itineraries and vouchers was helpful.
The ability to communicate with the guides ahead of the trip would improve the process even more.

We are based in NZ and had never heard of this company, but decided to take the punt as we liked what they had to offer, in particular the self drive options . They were amazing! Chris responded to our requests via email promptly. Gave us great advice. Recommended awesome places to see along our route. We added a few xtra days here and there. Fantastic time, no regrets at all. Highly recommended.

This was our first trip with Nordic Visitor and it won't be our last! We had personalized and exceptional customer service from beginning to end. Nordic Visitor provides an individual travel advisor who is your point of contact from day one. We loved the hotels they selected, the small group size of 14, the restaurants and excursions that were part of a well-planned itinerary. We look forward to our next trip!

Nordic Visitor provides great information about things to do in the area and also provides a travel guide. We did a self driving tour and this information gave us the chance to explore the things we wanted to see and skip those that did not interest us. The travel consultants are very responsive and provide great information about everything - driving, tolls, restaurants, etc. The hotels that Nordic Visitor picked for us were wonderful. It was a nice mix of larger hotels and bed and breakfast style hotels. The staff picks they provide also led us to some places to eat that we would never have found on our own, and they were extremely good!!

Our trip was wonderful. Our guide, Dave and driver, John made a great team and were very pleasant. We called them "The Tour Daddies". The size of the group was just right and small enough to get into sites the big busses could not.
All accommodations were comfortable and clean and the dinners were great.
