We were picked up by Lilja and taken across the Fjord away from the lights of the city. She was very informative and as the moon was so bright began taking photos of the nights sky where she found the lights. We then drove to another location where they became even more visible. It was bitterly cold especially my feet so dress up warm. We were given hot chocolate and custard creams which helped. We had a lovely evening and she took some photos of us under the lights which she sent later. Lovely lady with a wicked sense of humour. I would definitely recommend.

We had the most incredible tour with our guide Lilja. We saw the Northern Lights within around half an hour and then enjoyed four stops with different views of the lights. Lilja was an expert guide and ensured that we had the best views of the lights throughout. She was also friendly and gave us an amazing insight into Icelandic culture. She also took some expert photos of us, which made the experience all the more memorable. I could not recommend this tour more highly and would like to thank Lilja for making our trip so special.

We were not able to see the lights as it was raining. Maybe they should cancel the tour even with a partial refund if they know the weather forecast points to a rainy night. We wasted 3.5 hrs and went to bed really late a bit disappointed.

Kudos to Traveling Viking; we didn’t get to do the tour as the weather was not going to be cooperative for seeing the Northern Lights. The owner cared enough to bring a big bus even though we were a small group, as he didn’t want us to wait in the cold, while he completed our refunds. When we booked, there was never a guarantee, we would even see the lights. He told us he couldn’t take our money knowing we would not be able to see them. We greatly appreciate his honesty and recommend the Traveling Viking company!!!
