Honest insights from past guests on our Northern lights Iceland tours

Sandra | Traveled in February

A wonderful long weekend. The hotels were good with clean rooms, nice beds and great breakfasts. The staff at the hotels were lovely. Our tour guide was amazing, very interesting and informative. He also had a great sense of humour. I enjoyed getting a natives insight into living in such a wonderful place. He judged the characters on the tour well and moved the tour along at a pace that suited us all. We were very lucky that all our fellow explorers were delightful.

A very enjoyable tour which gives a great taste of Iceland's culture and landscape. Einar, our tour leader, ensured that all of the practicalities went very smoothly. He is passionate about his homeland, Iceland, and we all learned a lot about this unique country. I would just say that everything is very expensive in Iceland but I was expecting that.

Einer Thosteinsson , our guide was super enthusiastic about his homeland The tour was well planned, we went to all the major sites without being rushed The hotels were all very good if a little overheated I knew we weren’t going to be met at the airport so that was no problem but I would have liked an introductory meeting either the night we arrived or before we clambered onto the coach the following morning, I missed the small sign on reception that gave the first meet-up time Otherwise a superb trip

Wow! If it's adventure you are after, then you've come to the right place. Iceland has so much to offer, not only the Northern Lights. There are glacier hikes, caving, surfing, whale watching to name a few activities in Iceland. For the not so physical, there are beautiful waterfalls and amazing landscapes that are breathtaking to say the least. If you have never been to Iceland and you're contemplating it, do it! You won't regret it.

Erla was an incredible guide! She was so much fun to travel with for the week and shared tons of knowledge with us. Great group and a perfect balance of activities and downtime. 10/10 would do again!

We had such an amazing time in Iceland, made all the better by our fabulous guide and driver. The tour was fairly fast-paced, but left some time for exploration of local sights and experiences around the itinerary. As very active people, it was sometimes a bit frustrating not to be able to do extended walks in some places, but we are turning this into a positive by having a wish list for a future visit to explore certain areas more on an independent holiday. We feel our guide really did make the trip even better than it already was - she knew so much about each area, and we made extra stops along the way to visit some places off the beaten track that she knew which were not listed on the itinerary. This went a long way to making us feel more like 'locals' rather than the many, many tourists who we saw doing the Golden Circle on the last day. In fact, we felt sorry for those people, who probably only saw a fraction of what Iceland has to offer, while this longer tour offered us a much broader range of experiences. Must-do extras on the tour - the thermal baths in Akureyri (go early in the morning - they are just over the road from the hotel), the lava show in Vik, and the Reykjavik Fish Restaurant in Rainbow Street - an excellent vibe with the most reasonably-priced food we found. A great first night of your holiday visit. Save your pennies and do this trip!!!
