When you travel to somewhere new, seasoned traveller or not, bringing the kids along... you need a little help! From the first email Palmer and Asgeir could not have been more helpful or reassuring. We never felt that any request was too annoying, or that any question was too daft!
When it came to the days out, whilst you of course tick off the big ticket items (for example on the Golden Circle tour or the Northern Lights Hunt...) what we will remember more were the little touches. 'See the main thing like everyone else... then let me show you a quieter spot thats actually more stunning... and repeat!' The tales from Asgeir about industry, how people deal with the volcanos... what is being done to protect the infrastructure... and how salad, veg, fruit are grown... (and seeing the factories... those meant so much to us.
Never rushed, just a lovely man with us, a terrific manner with our kids - our 9 year old was sad to leave because of his new friend!
While no tour company will guarantee finding the Northern Lights we genuinely felt that we were an aligned five the night we went hunting, and to see his delight at OUR delight when we found them was also lovely!
If you want trustworthy, knowledgeable, friendly private tours from proud, expert Islanders (who by the way KNOW how to drive in the snow!) in comfort... the only reason I wouldn't say 'don't look anywhere else' is just in case they are not free when we come back!!!
100% recommended, a gem of a find to ensure a lifetime of memories... will definitely be booking again. (5 stars is not enough!)
