Northern lights tour - We booked the trip for our first night, we waited for 5 hours but the northern lights did not show. This happens. We watched the weather and rebooked for 3 days later for free and were rewarded. I was pleased that the operator checked the forecast and moved our destination inland. Very professional operation and would definitely recommend to anyone

Great experience! Thanks 😍 - The tour was crazy, thank you very much to Kristi, our guide and Reinhold, our driver.
We could see the Northern Lights in two different places and the experience was amazing!
Thank you very much for this magical moment.

Hulda's Night - Unfortunately, the Noethern Lights remained elusive once again but we were very fortunate to have Hulda as our guide for the evening. She is extremely knowledgeable and has the most wonderful and interesting stories to keep you entertained throughout the Tour. Seeing the Noethern Lights has been an elusive bucket list item for years now but Hulga, you made up for missing this again. Keep up the good work and keep smiling, you are a fantastic person.

Northern lights a no show - So it’s a bit of a gamble as to whether or not you will see the lights on the night. On a positive note, the booking is valid for two years so if you don’t get to see them on the night of the booking, there’s a pretty generous window of opportunity, assuming you can get back to Reykjavic easily..
So, that’s something. I felt like the “Mystery” was too low key and uninspiring to the point where even the guide expressed doubts on us seeing the lights, even before the journey got underway.
If you plan on doing this, maybe allocated 3-5 days to re do the run, just to give you a much greater chance of success.

SCAM! Didn’t even pick us up.! - We booked the tour for pick up at 20:30 from the hotel. After waiting outside in the cold for more than 30 minutes I called the tour operator and the lady on the phone spoke to me like Iam stupid to wait and the bus already left from bus terminal at 20:00. Even though Iam telling her continuously I have a booking confirmation email that says my pickup time and place clearly she just kept on saying the time was 8 from terminal only and the bus is long gone.
Now when i tried to get a refund for my ruined holiday all i get is template emails denying the refund.
Iam now forced to pay my hard earned money for something i didn't even get to experience because of their fault.
This booking says there is guarantee to rebook if there is no sightings or full refund if cancelled from the tour operator guess what they did not even pick us up and still no refund no apologies

Grey line tours…Do not book with this company - Grey line Iceland in Reykjavik…Where do I start?
I booked and paid extra to be picked up from in front of the hotel (I have mobility disabilities)
The male guide was friendly enough but made a complete mess of trying to explain the Northern Lights. We got to the viewpoint but had to move after 5-10 minutes because of some disagreement between drivers. Another 2 hours later we arrived somewhere else where we obviously wouldn’t see them because of the lights.
Returning to the hotel the driver & guide were busy telling each other their plans for NYE celebrations & what houses they’re buying etc.
Instead of being returned to the hotel directly we were left at a bus stop nearby. If it wasn’t for the help of 2 lovely ladies from India I may have ended up in hospital.
If you’re booking a tour in Reykjavik book with a different operator!!!

Tour operator cancelled - The tour operator cancelled the tour and said they would refund in 5-7 business days, they didn't re book us so we found another operator via tourist infomariton in Reykjavik.

Not inpressed - I have done many tours in the past and kers just say this is one of the worst ones.
Starting with the bus filling people like it was a local bus and caused a 30-40 min delay in starting the 4 hour tour. The guide wasnt very fluent in English and was struggling to provide information about the northern lights. We were asked to get off the bus on different locations but there were no northern lights. On the way back we were dropped on the road, atleast 5 minutes walk from our hotel, while it was raining and snowing. I feel the service was below par and not very professional. I have tried to communicate with the tour agent for a complimentary repeat tour (as mentioned in their ticket)...waiting to hear back.
