My wife and I went on this tour October 2nd. It was awesome! We stayed at an Air BnB, so we had to be picked up at a local hotel. The van was right on time and things only got better from there. I really wish I could remember our guide's name, but she was super sweet and knowledgeable. We go to the hot springs in with time to look around before going to the ice museum. Our guide also got the names of anyone that would be dining at the restaurant at that point. The ice museum was very interesting, and the appletini was great. We were then able to basically go straight into the restaurant and eat because our guide had put our names down already. After that, the hot springs we great...and the northern lights decided to show up early. We were actually sitting in the springs when they came in. We got a few pictures and then hurried to get dressed and go to a better spot to view the lights on the van. Our guide was as excited as we were. We went to a couple of spots and got great pictures of the lights. It was truly a great experience!
