Phenomenal Experience! - This was my first time witnessing the majesty and breathtaking magnitude of the Northern Lights, and I cannot recommend this experience enough. Our guides, Christian and Ania were fantastic! Christian was so knowledgeable about the Lights and shared valuable insights! We also appreciated his stellar photography skills. I recommend this experience through and through! :)

Once in a lifetime expérience! - I took a northern lights tour with David the guide company. The weather conditions were not ideal for seeing aurora as we knew the storm was coming soon however due to Ania’s (our guide) expertise and intuition we managed to see amazing dancing Aurora boréalis and get great photos. It was magical expérience! Highly recommended;) Bus was very nice and comfortable, we got hot chocolaté and cookies which was a Nice touch after being outside in the cold windy weather;) Ania was very helpful and gave a lot of information on northern lights during whole tour. I had fun and am very happy with the expérience:)

Amazing experience with guide Ania - The tour was very well prepared. Small group. What can I say, our guide Ania chose the right place and we had a great Northern Lights experience. We had hot chocolate to warm up afterwards. Completely satisfied and highly recommended!

What a cool experience! - I had a great time chasing the Northern Lights with our tour guide David aka Christian (not David the Guide haha)! He was very knowledgeable about the lights and taught us about the importance of checking both the KSP of the lights as well as the magnetometer, satellite, and oval circle readings to make sure all the right variables were coming into play. You could tell that he was very passionate about the Northern Lights and seeing and photographing them. Although the Northern Lights weren't super strong the night I went, they did show up on the camera pretty well when David took our photos, which was very cool! We drove to two different places to try and see the lights better which I appreciated, and the hot chocolate and cookies were very warm and comforting since it's very cold when you're outside. On that note, I'd definitely recommend wearing at least 2 pairs of socks and at least 3 layers of pants and tops under your jacket to stay warm! (something I didn't do haha) I also ran into a couple on a trip who told me that this was their third time trying to see the Northern Lights with their booking since their other 2 nights weren't as good so they were allowed to reschedule/rebook additional days for free. I appreciate that David the Guide gives you the option to rebook/reschedule additional nights for free if you're not able to see the lights on your scheduled night. I'm pretty sure seeing the Northern Lights is definitely at the top of everyone's wish list while they're in Iceland so I appreciate that they're so helpful in helping you get to see it! Overall, I'd definitely recommend David the Guide for trying to chase or see the Northern Lights!

Memorable northern lights pictures even through the clouds - The northern lights hunt bus tour with “David the Guide company” was worthwhile. Our guide was Swedish but living in Iceland for 7 years. He was knowledgeable, fun and a die hard photographer, being outside in the cold the whole time in freezing cold & hard winds to take numerous pictures of all of us and the northern lights. The sad part was that we travelled a lot to see some northern lights and although we saw them we saw them through the clouds. Nevertheless, they were so strong that the pictures look amazing. Thank you and the bus driver! Memorable photos

Waste of money - This trip was a complete disappointment. The weather was terrible, with rain pouring down and thick clouds obscuring any chance of seeing the elusive Aurora Borealis. Despite the awful conditions, the tour continued, and we were out until the early hours of the morning, fruitlessly chasing nonexistent gaps in the clouds. I can't help but feel like the tour operators should have cancelled the trip and saved us all the trouble. It was a huge waste of money and time, and I was left feeling cheated and frustrated.
