Out of this world experience with Bjarni (BG)
Our travel guide Bjarni (BG) for short was amazing! His knowledge of Icelandic culture and history was wonderful. He had a great personality, was very helpful and had a great sense of humor. We travel for 6 days with BG around the Golden Circle and southern part of Iceland. He took us to all the hot spots of Iceland and even some of the secret ones that only locals know about. It was truly an amazing and breathe taking experience. Definitely will be using Thor Travel again. Already planning our next trip with Thor Travel for the full Iceland Ring Road experience ,can't wait. Thanks again for an amazing experience BG. Can't wait to see what you have planned for our next trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It was an absolute pleasure spending some days exploring Iceland with you David. I'm glad you enjoyed both the famous highlights and a few of the hidden local gems along the way. Sharing Iceland's culture, history, and stories is one of my favorite parts of guiding, but having great company makes it even better. I also enjoyed our conversations about the Northern Lights, and I would love to bump into you under an aurora-filled sky in Iceland again someday. Thank you for choosing Thor Travel, and I'm already looking forward to showing you even more of Iceland when you return for the Ring Road adventure. There are still plenty of amazing places left to explore! Safe travels, and see you again in Iceland! 😊

Five Star Experience
I had a fantastic experience with Thor Travel. I spent a week with friends seeing many of the magical sites in Iceland, with the Northern Lights being the highlight. BG was our guide/operator. He has a wealth of knowledge about history, geography, culture, language, cuisine etc. He made our trip seamless. We could relax and know that every detail was covered and that nothing would be missed. BG should be the International Spokesperson of Iceland. He is THAT good!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! I'm not sure Iceland is ready for me as its International Spokesperson, but I appreciate the nomination 😄 It was great spending the week with you and your friends. I'm delighted you enjoyed the tour and that the Northern Lights delivered the grand finale. Thanks for the wonderful review and for choosing Thor Travel!

High LIGHTS of our Trip!
BG from Thor Travel provided us with the most authentically Icelandic experience! Knowledgeable, friendly, funny , and personable ! While you can’t control Mother Nature, I’m pretty sure BG has some pull with the weather. Literally going the extra mile (further out of town) to ensure less interruptions and darker conditions for optimal viewing. Book with Thor for the Northern Lights experience your imagination has created. BG is also safety focused, I felt comfortable the entire time.
Response from the operator: I'm delighted you enjoyed the authentic Icelandic experience and that our extra miles paid off with great Northern Lights conditions. We can't control the Northern Lights, but sometimes a small sacrifice of a lamb to the Nordic gods seems to help with the weather and clear skies... 😄 A little reminder about the seatbelts please! YNWA 😊 Thanks for choosing Thor Travel and for taking the time to share your experience!

Excellent Tour
You won’t be disappointed! Our guide BG knew the right spot and the best night to go. He had an amazing camera and took pictures that you would think were not real! We had the best time! Highly recommend Thor Travel!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic review! I'm delighted the Northern Lights delivered and that you enjoyed the photos. Having the flexibility to choose the best night and location makes all the difference, and thankfully everything came together perfectly on your tour. Thanks for choosing Thor Travel and for the recommendation! 😊

They shared fascinating stories and information while making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. You could really tell how passionate they are about what they do. The tour was well organized, engaging, and exceeded our expectations. We learned so much and made some great memories along the way. I would highly recommend this tour guide to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable experience. Five stars all around!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review! Reading reviews like this makes all the planning, driving, guiding, and Northern Lights chasing worthwhile.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Northern Lights Small Group Tour – Free PRO Photos & Rebooking start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
