Our tour was phenomenal and a true highlight of what was already a magnificant trip. The tour was scheduled for eight hours, but really lasted nearly ten because Jon was so incredibly accommodating. He picked us up at the airport and then drove us to our hotel so we could check in and drop off our luggage before heading out... More

After picking me up at the airport, we started our daytour with only one other guest. It was absolutely amazing! Jon is a very friendly and competent guy and you'll notice that he loves what hes doing. First we got to Godafoss, a very beautiful waterfall that was partly covered with ice at that time.. then we drove to lake... More

When we arrived in Akureyri we had a good forecast for the Northern Lights and wanted to book a small personal tour for our honeymoon. Jon from The Travelling Viking collected us in a Jeep to ourselves and talked us through the phenomena on our way to a nearby viewing site he keeps to himself. Here alone we caught just... More

We took the "Amazing Lake Myvatn" Winter Tour with just three other travelers and our fantastic guide, Jon. It was definitely the highlight of our entire trip to Iceland. The tour lasted about 7 hours and covered the incredible surrounding areas of Lake Myvatn. Everything in that area is exquisitely beautiful and geologically fascinating, and our guide Jon was an...

After researching tours of northern Iceland online,I decided to go with the Traveling Viking. If you want to avoid big bus tours and have personalized service at a very reasonable cost- this is the one to book. Jon was like traveling with an "old" friend from home. His tour was a highlight of our trip. The other reviewers have summed... More

My partner and I wanted to see Lake Myvatn and the sights of the north so we picked the Travelling Viking, to be honest, primarily due to the lower cost than some of the other tours. We went during early Feb and thought we might have a bit of trouble finding a tour. Not so. We actually met Jon the... More

We have just returned from a great 5 day holiday in Iceland. Although each day was excellent with new experiences, the Myvatn Lake Tour with The Traveling Viking stands out above the others. Our reason for choosing The Traveling Viking was that his tour started at 9:30am, rather than 8.00am, giving an extra lie in after a Northern Lights evening.... More

We went on two tours with Jon and we thoroughly enjoyed them both. Jon is hilarious and kept us entertained with stories about the trolls and other local lore. Jon is also very knowledgeable about the history of the land and the science behind the Northern Lights. Our first trip was just a drive to the Christmas store and a... More

We were traveling with 4 adults and 2 children ages, 3 and 7. Jon kept all of us enthralled with his knowledge of the area and the stories he had to tell us about Trolls. When we expressed no interest in going to the spa, he recommended taking us to the bird museum instead. We had a great time and... More
