If I recall correctly my guides name was Anton. Let me start by saying that if you a booking a tour in the Akureyri area, they are the only way to go. First I had stopped by the office a few hours before my tour was to begin to see if I needed to be there at a certain time,... More

Iceland has experienced its worst winter in the last 20 years which meant that the road to Dettifoss was impassable to standard 4x4s. Being unable to visit Dettifoss under our own steam we opted for a Super Jeep day tour with Saga Travel. It turned out to be the most memorable day of our week long stay in the north... More

We shopped around for tour guides in Akureyri/Lake Myvatn and chose Saga Travel based on their itinerary, price, and group size (even their "big" tours in their very capable mini-buses have a max size of 16 people). Other reviewers have noted all of the good things about Saga Travel, which we wholeheartedly agree with. Our tour guide, Anton, was very... More

We loved Iceland especially Akureyri but the Lake Myvatn trip was honestly the best thing we did on our trip. Our group lead by Anton was fantastic. Everybody was up for a day of adventure and that's exactly what we got. Anton was outstanding, showing us things and places we would never have got to see on our own. The... More

Whilst spending a couple of nights in Akureyri, I had the fantastic pleasure of talking two tours with Saga. Both times our guide was the wonderful Armann. His knowledge of Iceland and his passion for the North shines through in everything he does. The first tour was to see the northern lights on a very cold but clear night. And... More

I went on the Northern Lights and Lake Myvatn tours in mid-March of this year. I can highly recommend Saga Travel. On the week we went, the sky was partially cloudy, so the Northern Lights had to be viewed through openings in the clould, but the tour itself was well done. For me, the Lake Myvatn tour was the highlight.... More

There aren't that many choices for tour companies in Akureyri, and during our trip to Iceland in mid-March 2013, we used Saga Travel for both our excursions: the Northern Lights and Lake Myvatn. Though the Northern Lights utterly disappointed us by failing to show up (it was a dark and stormy night), our guide was engaging, entertaining, funny, and very... More

Saw wonderful Northern lights white, green, pink and violet the "Viking" Guide was a hoot. Absolutely worth it and another item crossed off the bucket list.... More

Saga Travel provided a great experience, from the late night northern lights tour, to an all day road trip visiting several scenic spots. Our guides on both occasions were very nice and always made sure the group was enjoying themselves. For the northern lights tour our guides pick us up right at the hotel and took us outside of town,... More

I was in Akureyri in April 2013 and used Saga Travel for the Northern Lights and Lake Myvatn tour. The guides were very informative and entertaining. The company had great communication and was very accomodating.
