Highly recommend this tour if you planning to visit Iceland. Jens, one of the owner of this company is an understanding, responsible, professional and knowledgeable guide. We have joined the aurora and glacier tour in Feb 2020 and it was an unforgettable experience in my life. Just 3 of us in the group, like engaged a private tour. Jens will share the history of Iceland throughout the journey. Sometimes, he might be a bit quiet, but he will be able to answer every question and share the tips with you. Breakfast and dinner were included in the tour and he will stop along the way in town for us to grab the lunch. Breakfast is in buffet style and dinner prepared by the Farmhouse/Guesthouse was really really delicious! The Farm stay and guesthouse were cozy with nice view. The tour is reasonably priced and worth every penny.

I don't do reviews often but this company deserves it. Hlynur was AMAZING. So prompt, professionally dressed, funny, kind, personable, knowledgeable, and amazing with my children. It was my twins' 9th birthday that day, they asked prior how old and surprised them with a gift for each that they loved. Made them feel so special. One had to visit restroom towards end of tour and he whisked her off through a HUGE crowd directly to one we could not have found ourselves and the tour was already done. They went above and beyond and gave us a fantastic day. The nature baths and Lake were so awesome and Iceland overall - you just can't go wrong. Beautiful place and Hlynur loves his home and country and you can tell through his tour and passion for the things we were seeing. I cannot recommend them enough. DO BOOK THROUGH THEM if you book at all!

We hade a self-driving tour for 14 days in Iceland this August, organized by Travel North. It was simply amazing. The support of the agency was excellent. We had a daily chat with them, who kept assist us for the whole trip. There is no specific place better than others. Everything was really nice, but I'd like to underline how effective was the email exchange with Francesco and Giuditta beforehand to shape the program according to our wishes. We really enjoyed the trip and a special thank to them is to be given!
