This was my first serious photography workshop and tour, and I admit to being skeptical at first. Wow, what an eye opener! I cannot imagine ever finding two better professional photographers and guides than Siggi Brynjarsson and Mads Iversen. They were just outstanding. This was a serious tour, a few of the other participants were among the best photographers I've ever met. And I can't imagine finding a better or more responsive organizer than Criz, who went way beyond for me and who I now chat with regularly. Fourteen days of non-stop photography through the depths of the Iceland winter is no small thing and they exceeded my expectations every step of the way. Bottom line, you can't go wrong with this team. One piece of advice: if you plan to go photograph Iceland in winter for 14 days, take lots of vitamins along because you will need them!

I was hesitant to visit the blue lagoon as I heard from other visitors that it is full of tourists (whatever that means because they are and I also am one of them :) ) Unfortunately one of my tours was cancelled and asking some of the guides from other tours, they said I should definitely go. And I agree, going was the right decision, but I want to share some of the details so you know what to expect. It is really beautiful, no doubt but it was quite crowded (even in these times of low tourism) and as I heard this is not considered crowded to them. It did not feel like there was many people in the lagoon, but it was a completely different story in the locker area. That means, you may have to wait to be able to get in a shower before (you need to shower before entering the lagoon) and after. With the option I chose you get access to not very spacious common locker areas, where it may be hard to get dressed and pay attention to your belongings, use the toilet (there is only one in that locker area) in the other end of the room, etc. While they provide shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the showers, there is nowhere to put your own stuff other than the floor, in case you need to use your own personal hygiene products and they only provide one towel when you are out of the lagoon so you cannot dry after the first shower and when getting out of the lagoon. If you look in the right direction, you will have a beautiful volcanic landscape but there is also some buildings around it that I did not expect to see and the general look is a bit like a big swimming pool On the other hand, yes your skin will look amazing after soaking in the lagoon and having a mask on. The staff is kind and helpful and Lava restaurant is super yummy. I had the fish of the day (Atlantic wolffish) and it was probably one of the best white fish I ever had. And always a plus, their recommendation of wine pairing was super accurate. The transportation service was effective and runs regularly, plus it is comfortable with WiFi on board. Overall, I agree "If you go to Iceland, yo go to the Blue Lagoon" Experience it for your self as it is unique.

My husband and I took this as our first excursion on our first night in Reykjavik. Bjarní and his wife were terrific hosts! He picked us up at our hotel, and kindly stopped me by a grocery/market on our way to his flat. His SUV was roomy and clean. He is very friendly, and easy to talk to. At their home, they served the traditional Icelandic foods as appetizers. His wife made us a wonderful and delicious roasted lamb with vegetables. He then taught us to make a traditional dessert, in which my husband got to participate. It felt like catching up with friends. He was going to drive us to a viewing point for the bortjern lights, but the tracker showed very little activity. So he drove us back to downtown Reykjavík for a little tour, and we stopped at one of the famous churches down there for picture. I’m so glad we eased into our trip with this experience!

They picked us up from cross roads one block from our hotel in the evening. There were about 7 of us in the Super Jeep all bundled up ready to go. We made a short stop to go to the bathroom in a really cool local museum (it's on my list to visit next time!), then we were off headed towards our spot to search for the Northern Lights. We waited for about three hours and just when we thought we were going home with only seeing stars so bright my iPhone 11 could pick them up, the famous light show started to dance right before our eyes. The green and yellow lights were striped across the sky. We saw mostly green and yellow waves, with some blues as the hour progressed. They gave us a pastry, hot chocolate, and a local l'chiam! They took our picture and a group picture and emailed them to us. We highly recommend putting pocket warmers in your shoes and pockets before you step out of the jeep and wait in the freezing cold air. We highly recommend this group as it gave us all we wanted: friendly and informative guides, a warm treat, photos with their amazing camera, and the light show that brought us to see this beautiful country in the first place!

I booked two full day trips, transfers to and from airport and the Blue Lagoon with this company. We were a party of four adults that included two ‘seniors’ one of whom is disabled - me! All arrangements were agreed in writing and I was provided with a full, clear Itinerary for our stay. The drivers arrived at the expected time for each occasion and the vehicles were exceptionally good. They managed my scooter (and the luggage) cheerfully - both in actions and attitudes and I was treated with dignity at all times. The day trips in a 4 x 4 were outstanding and adjusted by agreement to meet the party’s desires and weather changes. Both of the young men who escorted our party were charming, informative and great company. By the end of both days, we were a family! Thank you so much Gisele and Audunn! Without doubt you can see the Golden Circle and the South Coast cheaper by coach tour or self-drive but neither can compare with the personal service and depth of knowledge about the island, it’s geography, society and culture provided by one’s own tour guide. The journeys in a 4 x 4 are more comfortable and exciting too!! If this is your first, your only or a special trip, don’t think twice about paying for the best if you can. This was my second visit to Iceland but hopefully not my last. Thank you Ao Thur for making it such fun and with more marvellous memories -again. Hugs Mary.
