    Well organized, good pace of travel. The guide was very experienced and knowledgeable, with great stories to tell. Disappointed as we never saw the northern lights as we weren’t woken up as promised when they appeared.

    Itinerary was well paced and Thor was very experienced and professional however we had an opportunity to see the northern lights at our hotel at midnight but he didn't inform us as he said he would. His reply was they weren't spectacular enough

    What a wonderful tour! It is actually a 3 day tour; I booked horseback riding on Icelandic horses the day I arrived on my own. I highly suggest doing the same. The three days were packed with a adventures. Our guide, Petur was very knowledgeable as well.

    Hotel Cabin room extremely small and no hairdryer. Area to view Northren Lights was not dark enough because of all the nearby lights that interfered with visibility of the northern lights. Too much walking each day for elderly plus did not leave adequate time to enjoy a nice lunch.
