    The Northern Lights Escape was an outstanding tour that really showcased some of the Icelandic highlights. The tour is well organised with lots of opportunities to see the northern lights (which we did). Our tour guide was absolutely incredible and made the tour extremely memorable. I highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the best of Iceland including everything from waterfalls, local food to the magical northern lights.

    Iceland and the Northern Lights was on my bucket list and the trip did not disappoint. We had a great tour group and our tour leader was well organised and knowledgeable. Highlights were the glacier, ice caves and Northern Lights. Scenery along the journey was spectacular - every day was fantastic. Highly recommended trip. I would recommend though you invest in "ice crampons" - the ice is slippery and a fall on the ice is not a recommended part of the trip.

    For anyone looking for a short, but very thorough Iceland tour, this trip is for you. It was cloudy during our whole trip, but he still manage to see the northern lights twice! Mostly thanks to the diligence of our guide. We’ve packed a lot into six days and it was wonderful. I want to come back and do the northern side in the summer.
