    Iceland in February. Weather a plenty. Scenery spectacular. Great company. Comfortable hotels and delicious food. Our driver and guide Thor coped with everything the climate threw at us, tracked down amazing photo opportunities, and told us all about the amazing country and the sagas. I’ll be back.

    We had an amazing time in search of the Northern Lights in Feb/Mar 2019. Our guide/driver Per was excellent. The bus was cleaned daily so we could take photos from the comfort of the bus. Our accommodation was great, everything was well timed and well organised. It was quite refreshing to not have a pushy guide taking you to places just to spend money for kick backs! Per was a gentlemen, full of knowledge and a nice friendly bloke! There were many highlights in the trip and we were very comfortable with our group size and friendly group of people. I would definitely recommend taking the optional cave tour, it was pretty amazing and being driven over the glacier was definitely a highlight of the trip.
