Magnus is an excellent tour guide. He's fun and friendly and gave us plenty of opportunities for photos and took photos of us as well. Also makes a very delicious hot chocolate.

Fantastic time!

Magnus was very knowledgable and great at explaining how the lights appear. We were lucky to have a clear night. He took awesome photos! The hot chocolate was delicious.

Highlight of our trip to Iceland

Amazing experience, Magnus was a very informative chatty guide who told us some great stories! Although the aurora wasn’t the best it could be having Magnus as a guide meant we knew what to look out for, and he captured the most incredible photos for us. The spots we went to were fantastic and because of the car we could really go off road for a very personal unique experience. Hot chocolate was a welcome warming bonus! Highlight of our trip! Thank you!

A fantastic tour with a pointed guide

If I could award more stars, I would. Magnus was great. He is a great guide and very hard at work. We had no luck the first day and I tried it again the next day. We were in a snowstorm and Magnus didn't give up. After the delicious cocoa, the lights came and they were fantastic. This tour is highly recommended.
