    Troll Expeditions requested this review via emailing me at the beginning of the tour. They are a busy crew who have multiple tours on the go at any given time every day and operate from a warehouse in the port area of Reykjavik in Iceland. The experiences offered by Troll are impacted by Icelandic weather, keeping in mind they have hundreds of Icelandic words for their windy conditions! In fact four days of the tour was negatively impacted by the weather. Day 6, and the reason for this review, was cancelled completely and we simply spent the day driving to the next accommodation. Unfortunately Troll will only partially refund the whale watching tour despite the boat operator not requiring payment for their inability to provide the experience due to weather conditions. Furthermore requiring me to reach out through Tour Radar to procure the partial refund. In the past other tour operators I booked through Tour Radar have never even required me to ask for a refund-they simply provided it-but when I didn’t get any communication about the canceled aspect of the tour I emailed Troll Expeditions directly. On day 1 it rained all day and the wet weather gear I rented from Troll for my son was missing the rain hat aspect of the jacket, a functional rain jacket was provided the following day. Another day we rushed through the sights and changed accommodation to stay ahead of a typhoon which meant the following day we spent in the diamond beach car park in a vehicle that lacked charge ports and waited 4 hours for the ice-cave tour operator. The Northern light’s experience are self supplied via walking outside of your accommodation, finding some space that is not affected by town lighting, and looking up at the sky. There is a phone application you can download to be notified of potential Northern Light sightings. We swapped tour guides and some people for day 7 and day 8. Day 7 we had a puncture and the spare tire was flat which meant driving with it until the replacement tire could be obtained, by then it was snowing. Other people on the tour and myself had other interactions with Troll Expeditions customer service staff which don’t reflect well and I would have given this review 3 stars had their customer service and policy reflected a higher regard for us. Finally Iceland is extremely expensive place to eat-meals can cost well over $50 AUD even for soup!

    What a great trip, weather could have been better but we still enjoyed it. Palli our guide/driver is an Icelander so had so much knowledge to impart, plus many humorous antidotes. Good selection of passengers, we made some friends for life.
