Epic tour - O…M….G… this was by far the most amazing tour we’ve been on. Our tour guide, Isabella , was an absolute delight! She was so knowledgeable and talkative and warm. We felt instantly comfortable with her. We were very fortunate for an excellent lights display thanks to mother nature, and Isabella took outstanding photographs of our family. We could not be more satisfied with the entire trip and we highly recommend this tour. We want to thank the owner Miro for his prompt communications and excellent service. I rarely write reviews but I would go out of my way to tell everyone how great this tour was!

A MUST DO IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!!! - I can’t give this tour & company enough praise! This is absolutely the first thing you NEED to do when you come to Iceland. It worth every penny. Miro was a fantastic guide and made sure we had the best experience. He took us to the best spots, waited patiently (with good conversation and fantastic hot chocolate) until we saw MORE lights. He was very informative with what to look for and where to look. The icing one the cake was that he took the time to help me with my own personal camera & settings but he also lent me an expensive piece of his camera equipment for TEN DAYS while we were in Iceland…just so I would be able to take better photos and enhance our experience. A great company with even better people running it!

Once in a lifetime experience - Another - We had a fantastic time with Miro who went above and beyond our expectations. Miro knew exactly where to take us in his fantastic Landrover Defender which was capable of going anywhere! He took us to a couple of remote locations only known to himself which were totally off road ensuring we weren't disturbed by other tourists or tour bus operators. We were fortunate enough to have a spectacular display and to have Miro our own professional photographer to take as many photos as we wished including great time lapse pictures. Miro even provided hot chocolate to warm us up on a cold night. All in all a great tour, a great experience and a great guide.

A highlight of our lives! - We had the best northern lights excursion with Miro Tran, Icelandic Roamers. He has experience and knowledge and he’s a great guy! He was totally prepared and we saw the most amazing and beautiful display as a result. The hotel concierge told us he is the best and they were right! What a fantastic way to spend a birthday!

Northern lights chasing - After our tours got cancelled twice for bad weather with another company. We booked with Icelanding Roamers hoping to have a better chance of seeing them since we would be able to access more remote places with Miro’s 4x4. So thankful to have booked with him! Not only did we get an awesome show but the whole experience all together was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go to see the lights . There was absolutely no one else in sight so we had the lights all to ourselves! We got to enjoy the lights without having to worry about pictures since Miro took care of that and they came out awesome! Although he also took the time to show me what settings to use with my own camera and I was able to get some great shots myself. On top of all that, he also brought snacks for that cold night! We had some mini cinnamon rolls and the best and most rich hot chocolate we have ever tried. If you are planning on chasing the northern lights do not hesitate to book with Icelandic roamers, you won’t regret it . In terms of pricing, you really get what you paid for here. We gad actually done a tour with a bus the night before and although we did get a glimpse of the lights it was nothing compared to the experience we had with Miro. He really took his time to find the best place and we stayed out way longer than with the other tour! If we come back we would definitely book with him again !

Magical and Enchanting Northern Lights Engagement - We are so happy to have shared a piece of our love story with Miro! He was the absolute best tour guide and photographer from start to finish!! Miro was so personable, and I felt like we were best friends the entire time. It was a big dream of mine to see the Northern Lights in Iceland. With the unpredictability of the Icelandic clouds/winds/solar activity, it takes a very experienced guide to be able to find the perfect time and spot for the Northern Lights! Miro picked us up 30 minutes early because he predicted that the activity would be early, and he was so right!! The Northern Lights showed up just a short drive away and they looked MAJESTIC!!!! Then, we snapped a few pictures, and headed to hunt for another location - and WOW!! Miro found the absolute perfect location with no cars, no light pollution, and best of all - The Northern Lights started going crazy in all directions from northern, southern, eastern, and western skies. We were shocked and stunned to see such beautiful lights everywhere. We truly had no idea where to look because the light show was everywhere!! Even Miro himself was shocked, and he’s been doing these tours for years. Then, as if the night could not have been better, my boyfriend proposed to me under the MAGICAL dancing green lights and a million stars!!!!!!! I was already over the moon and beyond happy, but then a few minutes later, PINK DANCING LIGHTS showed up!! Such a rare sighting! What in the world!! We had no idea how Miro found the most perfect location to see all the lights and timed it perfectly to see all these different colors away from everyone else!!! I am so glad we had Miro to take photos, videos, and time lapses of all the special moments because my phone pictures would not have done the Northern lights any justice!!! Miro’s specialty in Northern Lights hunting and photography is unmatched!! His friendliness, enthusiasm, and hospitality really made us feel special and welcome. If you are thinking of doing a tour in Iceland and want beautiful photos, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking with Miro!!! Truly the best night ever!!!! Can’t wait to see my friends and family react to these pictures! :D Thank you again to Miro for spoiling us with the most beautiful lights!!

One of the Best Companies on Iceland - André was a fantastic tour guide and found an unbelievable area to shoot to northern lights. He was very patient with the lights as well and did not give up when clouds started to roll in. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone and even better if you get André. He is also very passionate about photography and even gave me some tips!

Worth every penny! - The experience and communication from start to finish was perfect. They emailed me a week before coordinating days we would be available as options to find the optimal night to see the Northern Lights. Isabella arrived promptly at our hotel, and was so courteous and professional. She took amazing photographs so we had family photos of the experience too! I highly recommend booking with Icelandic Roamers over the others for a more customized experience without having to worry about timing of getting back to the hotel at a certain time. Isabel made sure we were happy with our experience the entire time. Oh…and they provided us with THE BEST hot chocolate!

AMAZING NORTHERN LIGHTS EXPERIENCE!!! - I did months of research before going to Iceland and had set my expectations high. I wanted to see the Northern Lights. From the moment I booked the Private Northern Lights tour with Miro of Icelandic Roamers, I knew I was in for a treat (check out their Instagram for what to expect), but the actual experience surpassed every expectation. It's challenging to decide what was more captivating – Miro's stories from his travels or his ability to find the only clear sky in Iceland that night, ensuring we had a perfect view of the Northern Lights. Miro isn't just a tour guide; he's a magician who uses his profound knowledge of the local weather patterns and landscapes to maximize your chances of witnessing this spectacular natural phenomenon. Opting for this private tour (for only a few dollars more than the usual large group tours) proved to be worth every penny. The personalized experience Miro offers is unparalleled. Upon finding the IDEAL location, Miro predicted where and when the Northern Lights would appear if they were going to come out that night. True to his word, within about 20 minutes, the sky was dancing with the aurora. But Miro's dedication didn't stop there. He took great care in helping us capture these moments, ensuring the photos had just the right balance of foreground and background elements. These are not just photographs; they are memories that I plan to print, frame, and cherish forever. The level of personalization and care Miro provides is rare. He makes the tour feel like a discovery journey just for you. My only regret is not booking all my Icelandic tours with him. If I ever return to Iceland, I will only do tours with Miro. For anyone considering a trip to Iceland, especially to chase the Northern Lights, booking with Miro of Icelandic Roamers is a decision you won't regret. His expertise, passion, and dedication not only ensure you get to witness the beauty of the Northern Lights but also leave you with stories and memories that last a lifetime. Highly recommended!

No other four will ever compare! - If you come to Iceland and pick any other Northern lights tour YOU ARE WRONG. This was the best experience ever!! Izabela was the kindest woman ever! She made sure we were comfortable and gave us some great information about hunting for the lights. My boyfriend was going to propose (which I didn’t know) and I swear she called Mother Nature for the best show so he could do it! I can not say enough good things about her and this company! Honestly I can’t wait to come back for another tour and recommend this to everyone I know! Thank you so so much! Iceland will be our forever spot now and it has a lot to do with this tour and Izabela!
