Wonderful experience in Iceland

Northern Lights we were able to change to night that was not cloudy. Daniel was GREAT!!! Was able to find them rather quickly. He had years of experience and that was helpful. Got beautiful pictures. Anna was guide for daytime adventure. She was able to work around the rain so we did not get soaked. She was very informative and was able to teach some Icelandic terms. She was WONDERFUL!!!

A wonderful experience

Saga was an excellent guide. She was terrific at explaining what we were seeing, the history, as well as some of the folklore. I’d recommend her highly to anyone wanting to take this tour.
