“Friendly and informative guide who helped with photos, and shared lots of information and anecdotes about the Northern Lights and life in Iceland. The night was cold - it was minus twelve! - but Arman's knowledge and perseverance paid off and we got to see some lovely lights. Also, everything was on time, and the transportation was comfortable. Recommended!”

“I had an amazing experience on the Northern Lights tour! Lilija was absolutely fantastic—her knowledge and passion for the aurora made the experience even more special. She was incredibly patient, taking us to several locations to ensure we had the best chance of seeing the lights, and her determination paid off—we saw them in all their glory! Lilija navigated the snowy roads with ease, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. To top it all off, the hot chocolate provided was delicious and a perfect treat on such a cold night. This tour was unforgettable, and I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you, Lilija, for making it so…”

Review of Akureyri’s 3-hour Northern Lights photography tour, with small groups, hot drinks, countryside stops, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The tour was an amazing experience and the people who run the tours are amazing people. The original night we had this tour my friends and I had a car accident and got stuck in a ditch. I had to call the tour company to see if we could reschedule due to being unable to make it to the meeting point on time. First and foremost the guide made sure we were all okay and then reassured me that we could go on the northern light tour tomorrow. After this I happened to ask him if he knew anyone who could help us get the rental car out of the…”

“We did not see any Northern lights and in the very last minute our tour was changed for a lower price onem without been offered any compensation. The funny thing is that we eventually saw few lights from our Hotel balcony, once the tour was finished, so I guess that the spots the guide have choosen were not the best ones. What a shame !3 hours in the bus where the heater was not working properly.”

“Sigi was an amazing guide & would recommend to everyone. There were only 2 of us so we ended up with a private tour & very happy it wasn't cancelled. Sigi took a scenic route to get the most out of the tour. We were lucky w the lights & he made multiple stops for us to get out & enjoy them. He also took some amazing photos which he shared with us after. Can't recommend this tour enough”
