Land of the Northern Lights tour was great! The tour guide Hallthor was awesome! I’m so glad I attended. I was going to cancel this tour. Omg, this tour was truly good. The Blue Lagoon, the waterfalls, the mountains, geysers, Reykjavík Peninsula, Skoger Folk, and the tomato greenhouse. Moreover, we saw the Northern Lights. That was awesome. Hallthor made the tour bus ride very interesting. He told lots of historical stories and tales. We could have not asked for a better tour guide. He was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We learned a lot from our tour guide. Thank you for a fabulous holiday and a great experience.Show more
