Great experience and lovely guide who was very informative and was helpful in giving advice for getting the best pictures. If you’re looking for a small groups personal tour I would not suggest this as you end up sharing meet up location with 6 other coach’s of people! :)

Booked on the trip the first night we got to Iceland. It was cancelled & the cancellation email had gone into my junk folder so check there before you go as we walked for 20 mins to be turned away. Back the next night without any messing they just moved the ticket from the night before. Herded onto a large bus with lots of others but was comfortable & warm & tour guide Freda was brilliant, funny, knowledgeable & I think more excited than we were. Drove for an hour & the driving was a little scary in parts but got there in one piece & lights were fantastic. Then they did lots of drop offs on the way back. Thoroughly worth every penny but I think you can book on smaller group tours which I would do if doing it again. Oh & it was -16 whilst we were there so much colder than Reykjavik. Take all the clothes you own & as thick soled shoes you can!!

The lights were very weak when we went and you couldn’t see them through the naked eye or smart phone but, if you had a camera you could. The tour guide was very good and really tried to get us a good view of the lights. On the way home we stopped because there was more activity, which I thought was really good of them to do. They really do try and give you every chance to see them. It was -10 degrees so be prepared for the cold
