Great experience overall....

Great experience overall. Saw some spectacular lights and the hot chocolate was great. Would recommend.

Disappointed

I didn't learn until later that some of these companies will take you out even if they know there is no chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Tour guide was awkward, didn't see the lights and there wasn't even any hot chocolate. I'd recommend you look elsewhere.

What an amazing...

What an amazing experience. Our guide was very hands on and personable. Made the entire trip enjoyable and even sang us a song at the end.

Best thing to do in Reykjavik - simply stunning!

The guide, Mika (apologies if I misspelt it) was super enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. He was great.

Denis was a great tour guide - very pleasant and knowledgeable!

It was great that we were able to go to multiple locations in search of the lights. We lucked out and got great photos in two locations!
