Summary: My partner and I went on this two day tour exploring the beautiful west coast. The scenery is breathtaking. We saw many sites, took some cool photos and the accommodation was lovely. Best of all was the tour guide, Thoray, who is very professional, engaging and had lots of knowledge and interesting and funny stories. I highly recommend this tour!

Summary: Loved my trip with Nice Travel. I was given details of the pick-up and everything went smoothly. The coach was in great condition, comfortable and the Wi-Fi and USB charging available on board was really useful. The tour was well planned and the pace suited everyone. Thoray was a great guide - she had loads of useful information and brought lots of energy to keep us all entertained. I stayed 1 night in a hotel booked by Nicetravel. This was very comfortable, had everything I needed including a lovely breakfast. I can’t recommend Nicetravel enough, I thoroughly enjoyed my trip.
