Gouden cirkel en noorderlicht in IJsland

I would like to thank you for the wonderful days spent together (BEST OF ICELAND! WINTER SPECIAL). I found everything very well organized: from transport to guides, from timing to the chosen places. I will recommend your company to everyone. Thank you.

This is a trip in three parts! Part 1 - the Golden Circle tour was fantastic despite the incredibly cold weather. Our guide (Randi?) told us to put on everything on our last stop and I was glad we did. Timed well, enough time to see the sights and to get something to eat or drink. Really good commentary and useful insights into the way of life, living with earthquakes and volcanoes! Part 2 - Northern lights (1) We weren't aware that there was a 3 to 6 hour break between the Golden Circle and the Northern Lights. When we asked the guide what time we needed to arrive for the second part of the tour, we were told that we had to ask the hotel. We asked at the hotel and they told us to call Reykjavik Sightseeing which we did, were told it was a 9:30p.m. start at the bus station which was 25 minutes walk so we asked for a pick up at the nearest bus stop for 8 passengers. The minibus did not turn up, so one of the party called and the information had not been passed on. We wished we hadn't gone as it was clear from about 11p.m. that the clouds were too low. We walked the 25 minutes back to the hotel at 1:30 a.m. - it was very cold and dark and not too pleasant when you're not sure where you're going. Part 3- Northern lights (2) As we had not seen the lights we were able to re-book and called early in the morning. We gather many did the same but there were no spaces. Our guide Reni/Remy was terrific. He was informative, interesting and told us things that I would have been happy to pay extra to hear. With his expert guidance we felt confident in seeing the lights and although it wasn't exactly the experience we hoped for - we were really happy to see the green hues. He also took photos which we really appreciated - hence the 4 stars. Additionally - on this tour we were taken to our nearest bus stop which meant a 5 minute walk at 1:45 in the morning!! Very much appreciated in a strange city. In conclusion - if you are not booking directly with the company, make sure that you check with them what the plans are. We had a 5 hour break between the Golden Circle and Northern Lights tour and we were not told clearly that there was no pick up.

The Golden Circle tour was fabulous, the guide provided in-depth knowledge of the sights. The Northern Lights trip was postponed due to weather conditions, but we were given 8 hours and rebooked for the next night without any fuss. We were so lucky to see the spectacle of the aurora the next night. Once again, the guide was knowledgeable and took us to a good spot to view the lights. We will be back!
