    Overall the 14 Scottish Highlands Grand Tour was good, but it is really 3 separate tours combined into one which results in duplication and seeing sights more than once. There should be more coordination between the local operators to ensure the literary is followed and sights are not repeated. Guests should also know that some days are quite long and there are limited dinner options available in some towns. As guests are staying at multiple hotels and guesthouses, drop offs take time. Most stores and shops are closed by the time the bus gets into town for the evening.

    Asked on September 8th, 2024

    When will we know specific accommodations (hotels) for this trip? How do we arrange for the Flybus to get to 1st hotel upon arrival?

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten September 2024

      Your booking documents will be ready approximately 30 days prior to departure. A Flybus/Reykjavik Excursions airport shuttle is included in your tour package. Transfers are on an individual basis and without a guide. The bus operates in connection with all arriving and departing flights from the Keflavik airport. Once you have cleared immigration and collected your bags, head to the airport exit where buses will be waiting. It may be necessary to change buses at the BSI (central bus station in Reykjavik) depending on your start hotel. Flybus staff are friendly, speak English, and will help with any questions. The Flybus has free Wi-Fi and sometimes USB charging points. It usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour from airport to hotel.

    Susan

    Asked on June 18th, 2024

    I am trying to decide which of your tours may be the best for potentially seeing the northern lights. I am looking closely at tour 273325 and tour 256325 but I see there are others if there's any way to talk with someone to help me decide, I would appreciate it.

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten June 2024

      While we cannot 100% guarantee you will see the Northern Lights its almost certain travelling between Sept - April so I am sure you will not be disappointed. Please note, all of our tours to Iceland(especially Sept-April) are very popular and as group sizes are small they do tend to sell out many months in advance.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten June 2024

      The transportation will be in heated coaches with free Wi-Fi on board and the maximum group size on this tour is 16 so its a really intimate which will make your experience in Iceland extra special.

    Asked on March 7th, 2024

    What would be the best month to travel to maximise my chances of seeing the northern lights in Southern Iceland?

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten March 2024

      The best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland is during the winter, between September and April, when dark and long nights have taken over from the bright summer nights in Iceland. It would be best to plan a trip in winter.

    • S

      Sam

      TravelerWritten March 2024

      What month have you statistically experienced most success for northern lights viewing?

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten March 2024

      September - April is the prime viewing season however to be even more exact, November to February are the very best months, in the depth of winter when there's more hours of darkness. Mid December through to early Jan will have the most hours of darkness.
