I loved this tour and itinerary! We didn't see the Northern Lights, but I had seen them outside Reykjavík before.

I loved this tour and itinerary! We didn’t see the Northern Lights, and that’s not the tour’s fault, that was nature, but I had seen them outside Reykjavík before the tour. Pétur H. was our guide, we had a smaller, fun group, each day was jamb-packed, it was a blast! Pétur told us stories and Iclandic sagas as we drove longer stretches! He was so nice, personable, and went out of his way to make each of our trips special. I particularly loved the “Viking sushi” bay cruise and all the gorgeous waterfalls! I loved it so much, now I need to go back again, maybe some summer! Thank you!Show more
