This has to be the best value trip I've ever been on. The views were incredible, all stops timed to perfection to beat the crowds and make the most of the daylight. Our guide Mr A was amazing. Incredible to be in the company of an Icelandic pop star. The Golden Circle in December is just magical, wrap up warm and book this trip. It was my 50th birthday and I really couldn't have wished to be anywhere else in the world.
I loved the whole trip. Being able to see a lot of the beautiful scenery in a warm bus was great.! The hikes were awesome. The glacier hike was thrilling. Waterfalls were gorgeous. Seeing the northern lights was outstanding! People in the group were awesome. The glacier lagoon with all the ice formations was spectacular! The pace was perfect. Gisli gave us so much history and info about the different areas. Great trip!
My son and I did the Northern Lights Tour. This was a rare chance to spend some time together (hes a busy father and Im a retired 71 year old). We wanted something a little different that we could both enjoy and Midgard offered a tour that seemed to suit, couple with more than a hint of adventure. We were not disappointed. Midgard is a family run business and clearly values the personal touch. Our four days were varied, interesting and fun. The sightseeing was ably organised by our driver and guide, Bjarni, who kept us both informed and entertained (he is a classically trained singer, as well!). His border collie, Krea, added to the enjoyment. The highlights for me were the glacier climb and ice field walk and seeing the northern lights (this was facilitated by one of the owners getting out of bed and driving us to the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night to maximise the view). Basecamp is funky, functional and the food is excellent. I cant recommend them more.
