Land of the Northern Lights - 5 day tour

AMAZING!!!!

We were able to go in every single attraction planned, the city center of Reykjavík, incredible waterfalls, a beautiful beach, a stunning valley ( national park), museums, an amazing show, a cozy hot spring, a lovely and warm green house and horse stable, an amazingly beautiful glacier and a indescribable time experiencing the northern lights.

The only downside was the short time limit on each site. And because of the volcano eruption we couldn’t go to the Blue Lagoon.

Overall it was an amazing, amazing trip.

The guide was very professional and nice, very attentive to details and time. That made the trip very comfortable.

The weather was very, very cold but still manageable.

I would recommend OntheGo to use the first and last day more wisely. They could make available a shuttle from the hotel to take us to the city center/downtown at a certain time and pick us up like couple of hours later, so we could experience the downtown by ourselves. Like, we got at the hotel early in the morning and spent our time just seating at the hotel lobby. If we had a shuttle to take us to some place and having someone to pick us up, we wouldn’t feel lost or afraid to explore and we could start feeling and understanding the city/ country in the first day.

I would strongly recommend it to everyone! ”

The Land of Northern Lights tour was a triumph!

My tour of Southern Iceland was absolutely wonderful. The venues chosen, the timing allotted at each venue and the variety of things to experience was nearly perfect. Our guide, "Thor", was smart, amusing, full of history and anecdotal stories as well as being incredibly hospitable and helpful. This small group experience was my first, but not my last thanks to On the Go.”

I would rate this Iceland tour highly. The guide, Eyrun was brilliant and the accommodation and breakfasts were wonderful. The itinerary was great and the guide always did her best for us, even if roads were closed and there were necessary itinerary changes. She always kept us informed of what was going on and gave excellent information. We were so lucky to see the Northern lights and loved the chalet accommodation in the South of Iceland. My only gripe would be the Flybus coach from the airport to the hotel - we had to wait 2 hours and nobody was sure what was happening”

My Northern Lights Tour was wonderful. The adverse weather conditions just made it more exciting and although it was disappointing not to see the Northern Lights I totally get that storms prevented this.Our tour guide made Iceland come alive for me. She was amazing. I loved the stories (sagas) and expert knowledge of photography was a real bonus.”

Fantastic tour! Thoroughly enjoyed everything we did and saw. Both Katrina the tour guide and Gumy the bus driver were friendly and enthusiastic at all times. No question was too silly, and nothing too much trouble. I took my father with me, and we both agree that the tour was great value and a great insight into Icelandic scenery, culture and highlights.”

Tour was great. This is the first one I have done so don't have anything to compare it to. But, we saw a lot. Eric was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions.

Some of the stops it would have been nice to have more time to enjoy them - Folk Museum, Blue Lagoon”

The tour was brilliant, it covered everything we wanted to see and the guide Katrina was lovely. She was so knowledgeable and made the trip worthwhile as we learnt so much more about the country. ”

Superb! The entire package was excellent in all respects. Our guide Martina was wonderfull, her knowledge of the history, geology, geography and mythology of iceland was more than extensive. This, combined with her 'leadership' and warm personable disposition made our experience unforgettable. Please send her a virtual hug from John and Debbie! Iceland is on another planet. The driver was an ace as well..”

The tour was excellent and a good pace. Antoine was awesome. Very knowledgeable and great sense of humour. We had a great time and saw a lot in a short time. I can't imagine a better, funnier guide.”

Amazing value for money, Guesthouse Borgartuni spotlessly clean and lovely family run. Tour ran like clockwork, no complaints whatsoever and i was expecting a few niggles since travelling alone with three children but we all fitted in very well and found it very interesting. Plenty of travel stops/toilet breaks and itinery allowed for short journeys so no travel sickness incidents! Moe time at Thingvoir National Park perhaps lunch there?

I feel like a walking iceland fact book as the tour guide was so informative, she filled every suitable moment with interesting facts and she was very receptive to the groups needs. She was very engaging and enthusiastic about the country and always phoned the venues ahead of our arrival so there were no hold ups. I would recommmend the tour to my friends and have done so already. I have also recommended On the Go Tours too.

We had self catering cabins at Hella so my only suggestion would be that this be mentioned on the itinery as there is a supermarket nearby so i would have preferred to cook for one night and relax in cabin as it is a very busy itinery with little relaxation when using the restaurant where service was slow and impatient hungry children, its less of a sociable thing and more of a necessity to eat quick :)”
