Marcus was great and really informative. Sadly the Northern Lights didn’t play ball tonight, but we learnt a lot about the local area.

The tour was great even if we didn’t get a chance to see the northern lights, which is not controllable. The driver took us to secluded places far away from the lights of the city, where, if there were any happening, we could have seen the northern lights easily. The driver was a very good guide, telling us about life in Akureyri while we were looking for the lights.
