Review of Breathtaking 6 Day Northern Lights Hunting Package of Iceland with Ice Caving

The trip was amazing! All the tour guides were really nice and the tour guides helped us still see everything even when the weather wasn't that great. The tours were organized well and Guide to Iceland replied quickly to any concerns I may have had.

Review of 12 Day Winter Package | Circle of Iceland & Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Happy and enjoyable 12-days trip. My travel advisor, Jósef was very helpful to reschedule our plan because of my flight delay to Reykjavik. Our guide Carlos was very experienced and great. He found different appropriate locations for us to take Northern Lights pictures and he shared with us on how to take good pictures. Only a small defect was that Reykjavik' hotel did not provide us twin room which we requested in our booking. Overall, a well organized and good tour.
