    Excellent short break! It was good to have the afternoon and evening before the Tour began to do some exploring of Reykjavik. Hotel for 1st & 4th nights was basic. Although clean, the room was very small. Breakfast was ample. Our guide/driver Andræs was pleasant, friendly, patient and knowledgeable.

    This was an excellent tour and very well organised! I was a little worried about doing a tour with about 40 people but the program was so well organised that you didn’t feel like you were travelling with a big group. Our tour guide Thor was SO knowledgeable and lovely and we were completely blessed with the weather.

    The tour exceeded our expectations. Peter was our tour guide. He did a great job explaining all the sights and keeping us on a tight schedule. We got lucky and had a nice Northern Liights show in Hella. We were able to see so much within just a couple days. I would recommend this tour.

    would you take a 7 year old?

    Age Range
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      Sorry that falls below our minimum age requirement for this tour. I would recommend our Golden Circle Loop or our Iceland Self Drive.

    Jeremy

    Asked on June 13th, 2025

    Would like to ask about the cost of the excursion to the Solheimajokull glacier and if there is an option to rent winter clothing and what would be the cost?

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      The minimum age on this tour is 8 years so unfortunately they would not be able to join the tour as one of the children is 7. We could offer them our Iceland Winter Express 4 day tour as alternative as the minimum age on this tour is 6.

      Jeremy

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Want to start the tour from 13 to 18 October, and the purpose of the trip is to see the northern lights. Could you add some complement to the Iceland Winter Express 4 day tour, to have the greatest chance of enjoying this natural phenomenon? What would be the total price for requested rooms if we add Northern Lights?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      Unfortunately not, as both children are under the minimum age of 8 they wouldn't be able to do this tour. As an alternative I'd offer the Iceland Self Drive.

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Does this tour include the Northern Lights?

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      The Northern lights are a phenomenom so cant be guarenteed that they will see them, however the locations the clients go are pretty isloated, so the chances of them coming out are pretty hgh, but its all up to the weather

    Asked on May 16th, 2025

    How would we get the Flybus shuttle at the airport?

    Transport
    Travel Support
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      Where to Find the Flybus: After collecting your luggage and exiting customs, you'll enter the Arrivals Hall. Look to your right-hand side for the Flybus desk – it's clearly signposted and usually staffed. If you've pre-booked your ticket, just show your confirmation. Once you have your ticket, exit the terminal building and head to the Flybus parking area directly in front. There will be Flybus staff outside helping passengers find the correct bus, especially as you have booked a hotel drop-off. The buses typically depart 35–40 minutes after each flight arrives, so there's no stress if your flight is a bit delayed.

  • R

    Ross

    Asked on March 27th, 2025

    Would we be able to see the northern lights in October. Also, we are traveling with family and taking our mother who is older and has always wanted to see the northern lights. Will there be options for this?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The best viewing for the Northern Lights are typically between January - March and November - December are the best months to visit Iceland, whilst you will also get good viewing during February - March and September - October. Assuming your mother has a reasonable level of fitness there is no reason to believe that she wouldn't enjoy herself on tour.

    Matt

    Asked on January 14th, 2025

    I can see from the information you provide that there are 2 times included where the guide is helping us to look for the northern lights. During these opportunities would the tour guide decide on where we see them based on the forecast or is the location fixed?

    Tour Details
    • M

      Matt

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      If we are to check availability and complete the form how quickly will you be able to tell us that the places are confirmed or not? This would be for spaces in February this year.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      We will be ready to confirm availability within 24 hours or quicker depends when you will let us know which tour you are consider joining. Much of Iceland offers a very a good chance to see the northern lights when conditions are right, and you're in the right place. The tour is designed to maximise your chances by staying in locations with minimal light pollution and providing information on how to best photograph the lights. The northern lights are in the northern sky from September through April but are only visible when the sky is clear and free of clouds. Remember – the northern lights are natural phenomena so sightings are not guaranteed.
