What are people saying about Reykjavik

Shalini_M, Apr 2026

Don't miss it!

We booked the tour last minute as the weather finally cleared up. I was worried about a very late night reading some other reviews. We got picked up promptly around 930. Initial part of the night was a bit slow but when the lights started coming out, they were spectacular. The guide was very knowledgeable and above all, very patient in taking our photos. And these are so much better than what I took on my phone. We were back by about 12 pm. Highly recommend:

Well-managed and informed

The driver and guide kept us on schedule and skillfully managed our group of 35. Our guide kept us informed with relevant information and history for each stop. They always let us know how long a certain hike or experience would take at each stop so we could manage our time well.

Anna! and Gregor

I’ve taking a lot of tours and Anna was absolutely at the top for the experience she provided. Friendly, funny, amazing story telling, patient and easy to connect with immediately which is impressive for such a big group. Our driver Gregor drove us around safely and kept the bus comfortable and clean. Highly recommend this Golden Circle experience. I wish I could have Anna guide us around the entire country!

Northern Lights Cruise from Downtown Reykjavik

Morgan_P, Mar 2026

Great Communication and a Fun Northern Lights Experience on the Water

Our Northern Lights boat cruise was a great experience overall. The cruise was initially canceled due to weather, but the tour provider was very proactive in communicating with us and letting us know about the change. They made it easy to rebook for another evening during our trip. The rescheduling process was seamless and required very little effort on our part, which we really appreciated. Once we went on the tour, it was a fun and unique way to see the Northern Lights while also getting out on the water. Overall, it was a great experience and we appreciated how smoothly everything was handled.

Amazing trip!

The trip was incredible and I really enjoyed the whole experience! Our original time got cancelled due to weather warnings but the team were very helpful at resolving this and offering the earlier slot. We did get stuck out in the snow for a while but this was bound to happen with the weather conditions and we all got back safely and only around an hour and a half later than expected.

Wonders of the south tour

A long but amazing day. We encountered heavy snow and a blizzard but all the sights were still amazing. We particularly enjoyed the walk to the glazier. Coach was very comfortable and warm on a cold and snowy day. Glad we did not hire a car and booked a coach tour. Albert ( tour guide) was very knowledgable and friendly
