A dream completed - Stunning night and tour, as soon as left Reykavik the lights were visable and swiftly found a dark area to watch them.
They were magnificent.

Great for solo travelers - Pickup from the bus stop was exactly as instructions stated, and on time.
Driver was informative, and tried to level set expectations that even with high probability- we may not have seen anything during our tour.
We had an unexpectedly amazing evening. The auroras were stunning, with the event reaching Europe and the US.
As a solo traveler, this tour gave me a safe way to experience the auroras, which is invaluable to me.

Oliver was excellent! - Oliver was the best guide ever. Explained how northern lights occur in a was that was understandable. Was vigilant about keeping our group in optimum environment to be able to see sky and he knew almost ahead of time when to look in what direction to be ready to see lights and be able to take photos. Excellent trip!

Tour delivers as promised - This tour delivered as promised, picking us up at our hotel on a nice coach bus and driving out to a remote location to see the northern lights. Unfortunately, the location chosen, while remote, still had some bright light from a visitor center. The pros included real bathrooms nearby, though, which were very appreciated. It was a beautiful experience! The drive back was just as easy, and we were brought right back to just outside our hotel's doors in Reykjavik.

Disappointed but understandable - Unfortunately we were not able to see the northern lights directly but our camera phones did catch some activity. I would recommend this tour even though it did not turn out the way I expected.

I'd recommend any other company! - My partner and I booked a Northern Lights tour with Gray Line Iceland through TripAdvisor, as seeing the Northern Lights was a bucket list experience for us both. The company confirmed our booking twice via TripAdvisor and email, including the pick-up location.
On the night of our tour, however, we were left waiting outside for 90 minutes in 2-degree weather, despite being assured over the phone that a bus would be picking us up shortly. When the bus finally arrived, it drove right past us. After calling again, we were informed—without an apology—that the bus was already on it's way and that we could request a refund.
Missing out on such a special experience was incredibly disappointing. It’s one thing to lose out due to weather or unforeseen issues, but to miss it because of a tour company’s incompetence feels inexcusable.
If you’re considering a Northern Lights tour, I’d recommend looking for a smaller, more customer-focused operator. Unfortunately, Gray Line seems more interested in quantity than the quality of their operations.

Left the desejat - Decepcionanye. The bus stops in the first place and stays 2 hours, what I saw from the aurora boreal left to be desired, for me it did not serve, I think they could try in more than one place. People get deluded when they see the advertising images on the website, and think they will see the same.

Disappointing - We were originally booked on 9/26/24. The excursion was canceled due to weather conditions. We rescheduled for 9/27/24. This time the trip wasn't canceled even though it was 100% cloud cover. We didn't see the northern lights and we requested a refund...but no one responded to my request.
