This must be the best company to hunt down The Lights with! I think we hit the jackpot on this tour! We looked at so many options for northern light tours. The small group was a priority but even that didn’t narrow it down a whole lot. So we picked this one based on the professional photos that were offered. We are so glad we got to go out with BG. On the way out of town, he taught us all about the northern lights and showed us an educational video on his big screen in his van. He also spent time teaching us what settings to use on our phones in order to capture the northern lights ourselves. He stopped at a couple of places and got out himself to “ sniff the air” and we finally settled on a place way out in the boonies. Based on his instructions, I got one pretty darn good photo of the northern lights peeking through clouds before the lights were completely obscured . I had a small tripod with me, but BG also had extra tripods for us to take turns using. Once the clouds rolled in he set up some delicious hot chocolate (adding rum or other liquor was also an option for those who wanted it) and had some yummy Icelandic chocolates for us to eat. When we were back on the road, many of us fell asleep under the warm blankets he had stuffed all around the van. Even though we got a peek at the lights, he still offered us a rebooking! We were able to take advantage the following Monday and again, we were not disappointed! We had a great time even though, due to many re-bookings that cloudy week, we were with his Sister company, run by Guffi who offered a very similar great experience. This time the lights were a blaze and the photos by.Guffi, were amazing. Using what I learned from BG I got some pretty amazing photos with my iPhone as well. I can not recommend this company enough! Trust me! It is worth the extra few dollars to go with BG or Guffi!Posted on Tripadvisor

Emma H7 days agoFantastic experience Although we didn't get to see the Northern lights in their full glory on the tour it was still a truly fantastic experience, Bkv (no I'm still not going to try pronouncing his name) was a funny, friendly guide, he drove us for a much further distance than expected in trying to see the lights ehich extended the length of the tour giving real value for the fee, included in that was entrance to the Aurora experience and he (his wife) makes a great hot chocolate and is heavy handed on the rum!Posted on TripadvisorEmma H7 days agoFantastic experience Although we didn't get to see the Northern lights in their full glory on the tour it was still a truly fantastic experience, Bkv (no I'm still not going to try pronouncing his name) was a funny, friendly guide, he drove us for a much further distance than expected in trying to see the lights ehich extended the length of the tour giving real value for the fee, included in that was entrance to the Aurora experience and he (his wife) makes a great hot chocolate and is heavy handed on the rum!Posted on Tripadvisor
Isabella S13 days agoamazing northern lights tour of iceland! I cannot recommend this tour enough!!! I went out 2 nights, and had an amazing experience both times. The first night BG drove us around, actively tracking the skies and trying multiple spots rather than giving up when the cloud cover rolled in, and we were rewarded with some beautiful lights and awesome pictures on his professional camera!! Second night, unfortunately the lights did not show up, but I had a great time regardless. Can't complain when you're offered great company and Grandma's famous hot chocolate! BG was beyond knowledgable, enthusiastic, and genuinely cares that you enjoy your experience. Got offered a third retry that's valid for 3 years so hopefully will be back!!! :)) skip the big bus tours and book with BG, trust!!!Posted on TripadvisorIsabella S13 days agoamazing northern lights tour of iceland!

Our amazing guide BG owner of Thor Travel picked us up in his pristine bitchin’ Mercedes Sprinter Van. I chose this travel agency because of the reviews about the guide that went out of his way to find Northern Lights and used his professional cameras to take individual pictures of the group. Well guess what? On a week that had rain predicted every day but one, BG found the lights and the pictures are stunning. He went out of his way to entertain and educate us about his beloved country. Geology was his expertise, along with folklore stories and the ability to make executive decisions spare of the moment. Our group of 16 from all corners of the world got along great, especially at happy hours. BG specializes in Northern Light tours through Thor Travel, if they are there, he will find them. We think about his sense of humor every time we fasten our seatbelts. Inside joke, take the most amazing tour of a lifetime!Posted on TripadvisorLinda S35 days agoTrip of a Lifetime We booked a 10 day small group guided tour with Iceland Tours.
