I recently completed a Lofoten Islands tour. The weather did not comply at all, but that’s part of the gamble when going to the arctic in the winter. However, I was very impressed with how diligent our guides were in trying to get us the best possible experience no matter what. Local knowledge of the area and weather patterns were very key in being able to get out and take some shots vs. sitting inside a cabin not knowing where to go or what to do with the winter storms. Every time our guides suggested we head somewhere to see if the weather would break–it did, even if the cloud cover didn't fully let up at least the rain/sleet/snow/hail did for awhile. Even so, I was able to get some great moody shots of fantastic locations. There was also an incident with another (unrelated) tour guide leader, who clearly didn't understand night/aurora photography, which also clearly showed that my choice of tours was vastly superior. I’m so pleased with my experience that I’m signing up for another tour already.

My wife, Sue and I attended a two week “All Around Iceland” tour in February and early March this year. I found the tour to be exhilarating and rewarding. Both our guides were outstanding, providing excellent advice and individual help to us. The bottom line is that I have been taking digital photographs since 1999, when I owned the first 1 mega-pixel camera, and this photo tour produced more award winners than any other I have been on. Kudos to Iceland tours!

I visited Iceland in September. Our guides transmitted their photographic experience, as well as knowledge of the island, making very accurate recommendations regarding places and techniques. We visited the west coast and the south coast of the country. Transportation, meals and hotels were excellent. Our main objective was the Aurora Borealis, thanks to the climatic conditions, we saw them 4 nights in a row. It is an unprecedented celestial phenomenon, full of magic, spiritual and emotional. We had with us a great driver who was also a photographer and took us to some hidden spots great for photographing without people around. Personally I have participated in several tours guided by Iceland Photo Tours, they are great organizing every single aspect and their technical explanations are very clear. The itinerary was fantastic, and the team always helped us take the best possible pictures at the best locations. Totally recommended and waiting for the next one!

Making the decision to participate in the photography workshop in Iceland was an EXCELLENT idea. I can not explain how much I enjoyed it, and apart from all the excellent service I received from the organizers. Very grateful to our guides for all their attention. They were all very professional and of great help to improve in the field of photography. The place itself is a paradise, but it was much better with the company of a good team and colleagues. Super recommended, so do not think about it too much and book the next one.
