5.00Valerie was optimistic with an Iceland Met Office forecast of 4 out 5 for seeing the Northern Lights. Sadly after waiting over an hour at our first viewing location and seeing nothing we were on the verge of giving up and going back to the hotel. BUT Valerie wanted to give it a try at another location about 30 minutes away. We hit the jackpot literally a few minutes after arriving there. We had a most marvellous viewing and took away so many fantastic photographs of a truly magical sky. Full marks to Valerie for her perseverance!!
Simply the best guide.

5.00Alexander knows the best spot. the other tour had 150 people and we were taken to a lot with street lights- far from the best Alex's spot. He predicted the Lights perfectly based on his experience. the fact that lights were not due to him, but prediction was great. Alex is very friendly and easy going. trust him, don't waste your money with other groups. he didn't go when he felt there'd be no Lights unlike the other tour I did without him and I did waste $70.

5.00This tour was amazing! Alex did a great job communicating pick up times. He was kind was helpful with expectations. It was so nice having a private tour around the area to chase the lights. He even took great group and solo photos for us! I would recommend booking this tour.
Perfect for our small group!!!

5.00We had an epic night! Alex picked us up on time and drove us to find the best spots. We got to experience the northern lights in ways we only dreamed about. Alex was also flexible with us on our pick up time. Would definitely book again!
