Higly recommend! - Thanks to a combination of luck and our driver's Iskren experience, we were able to witness a 30min+ manifestation of the lights! Iskren patiently took multiple pictures of each of the customers. The night concluded with tasty hot chocolate and a chocolate bar. Overall a very satisfying experience.

Amazing experience highly recommend - Iskren was my tour guide and he was absolutely amazing. He kept us entertained and informed. He did a great job trying to find the lights. We were very lucky to see the northern lights and Iskren took some really great photos for us. The hot chocolate and snacks he provided were great too. Would highly recommend and hopefully you are lucky enough to see the lights.

Northern lights minibus tour - First of all Troll tours acommodated is last minute. Our driver was Huldar. He was personable and friendly, and told great stories about Norse legends. He drove us to a place where we saw magical shimmery green Northern Lights! Huldar took pictures of my husband and I. We had hot chocolate and a candy bar. Seeing the Aurora has been a dream of mine for years Altogether a very satisfying small group tour.

Dancing lights! - Egil was a fantastic guide. He took us to a quiet spot where it was just us. We had already seen the lights from the road, but the real show began once we arrived at our destination. What a spectacular light show! We remained in the first spot for almost an hour, giving everyone ample opportunity to take pictues. Egil generously offered to use his phone and tripod to take personal pictures of us. Although they didn't turn out quite as well as the ones I captured on my own device, I'm certain those without equivalent equipment appreciated the gesture. Before making our booking, we had checked the solar activity and cloud coverage forecasts for the day. That really paid off.

Excellent Northern Lights tour! - Wonderful Northern Lights trip with expert Northern Lights seeker and photographer. He is a local Icelander with a real passion for helping people see the Northern Lights and capture it well on our phones. Even though it was relatively low activity if the lights, we had some beautiful views and photos. Highly recommend!

Went twice, first guide was amazing, second guide very underwhelming… - First night was fantastic, second night very underwhelming… We went on two of these tours after having a fantastic time on the first night with Jake. The lights were active, but not crazy and Jake was fantastic at making sure we drove to numerous locations to get the best chance of seeing the Northern lights and even tried to find us locations where mountains would be blocking the moon for the best view! The vibe on the tour was extremely up beat and fun, and Jake really seemed to care about everyone having the best possible experience! We did a tour the following night and whilst the lights were still active and visible the experience with the second driver was underwhelming. The location chosen by the guide was 15 minutes from the city and still had visible city lights and close by building lights as we seemed to be in a carpark filled with sheds and a giant pipe running across the field. The guide seemed as if he couldn’t be bothered moving to any other locations and wanted to get home early meaning that the majority of the experience was spent sitting in a stationary bus. We did ask about whether we could move locations and the answer was that we didn’t need to and we would be staying in this location for a few hours. Of all the places we had seen in Iceland an industrial carpark was not a very aesthetically pleasing location and it made it difficult to capture pictures of the night due to building light and industrial sheds/pipes obscuring the view. We had a great experience seeing the Northern lights overall, but the attitude by the guide on our second trip did not live up to the experience we had on the first night! If we had’ve only gone one the review would’ve been 5 stars ⭐️

Inexperienced guide, should have been amazing - We took this tour with high expectations as the solar activity was very strong. Unfortunately a series of events prevented us from having a pleasant experience. We waited at our bus top for pick in the cold. The guide was 25 minutes late picking us up (we were the first stop) so we didn't leave until almost 10pm then he was directed to turn around and pick up more people. Once we got going down the road the aurora started showing up. The guide (he said his name very quickly and I didn't catch it, but he is a 26yr, old collage student giving tours part time) asked if we wanted to pull over and take pictures everyone said yes. He abruptly pulled into a gravel lot and jumped out of the bus. His first job was getting pictures of the group and then individual pictures. There was no direction on where or how to photograph the aurora. He said let's go to another spot, bus loaded up and down the road we go. But now there is a large rock stuck between the tires that he has to remove. So we go back to the lot while he works on removing offending rock. In the process he gave everyone "hot" chocolate and candy bars. Finally rock removed and down the road we go. He takes us to a big lake that no one can see. And he gives no guidance again. The aurora is gone and time to leave. On the way back into town he told a story that managed to put many people to sleep. I wish we would have had a more experienced guide that cared for the clients expirence.

Unreliable - As we understand that seeing the lights might or might not happen, before our booking we let the business know we would only have two nights to try, and emailed them again right after the tour had ended, yet when we didn’t see them and we asked for the second try (as per policy) they ignored us for 15 hours and then informed us at 1pm on the day that they wouldn’t take us again. Not fair and not helpful at all, nor worth it when there are dozens of other companies with better customer service and availability.
