Awesome experience - Daniel is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and over all great host. Kuba our driver is an excellent driver and very friendly too. My husband and I were celebrating our 36 years and Daniel took a wonderful picture of us under the Northern lights. What a awesome memory. Thank you. Brenda of Maryland

Amazing experience - What an amazing experience with Magic Iceland Travel! Our guide was Unnur and she is extremely kind and friendly. When I had some questions about Icelandic culture she explained everything clearly. Every step of the tour she took care of us, told us about aurora, Icelandic folklore and even played some Icelandic music for us as well. We even had a particular culinary surprise on the tour. Special thanks to our professional driver Michal, who drove us safely for the whole night.

Good experience even though we didn’t see the lights - Went out with Jennifer and Cooper to try and find the northern lights. Conditions wasn’t great but we tried a few spots. Hot chocolate was good and it was very informative. Jennifer gave some great tips to people on how to use their mobiles to take photos but we didn’t see them. Jennifer was really upbeat and positive. Got to rebook and on the second night we went out with Daniel and Cooper. Conditions were better but still no luck. Again, they gave it a good go and everyone must have learnt so much as Daniel is a mega nerd (not a bad thing) and you can tell he enjoys his job as he super geeks out talking about the lights and explaining everything about them. Again, some great tips on how to get good photos. All the locations were different from the first night too. Personally I want to apologise to everyone else on the tour with me on both those nights. I’m sure it was my fault they didn’t put on a show as that is my just my luck. Typically, they didn’t put come out the following night and obviously I don’t witness them. So apologies everyone lol. Would happily recommend this company though.

Coach was comfortable and... - Coach was comfortable and the hot chocolate was great. Sadly didn’t have success in spotting any northern lights, but were given good guidance on how to spot them in the future (which we did from a point in Reykjavík a few days later)

Northern Lights trip - Good trip with information and fun comments. First time we didn't see anything so rebooked for free which was great and views were amazing the second time. If you are short on time recommend doing this trip first in case the weather isn't good and you have to rebook. Hot chocolate and a 'suprise' were fun.

Deceiving, better to have canceled - Experience that did not match the expected. In late January, the perfect time to see the auroras boreales, no auroras... I acknowledge that the guide and the driver tried (searched 3 different locations), but it was lost time. There is the feeling that (even by the aurora prediction maps I consulted) that that night there would be no chance, in the area where we were. I think it would be more appropriate if they had canceled the activity and returned the money to the participants. I was really disappointed.
