Andres is very experienced with northern light search and he’s honest and communicative. We made our booking last minute, and he immediately contacted us to offer the options to reschedule... read more for the next day as the weather then would make it impossible to see the light, or to get a full refund. And he was right about the weather! We rescheduled for the next day as he suggested and had great luck with the lights that night! Andres was able to see signs for upcoming northern lights from afar and he helped us adjust the camera settings so that we could capture the lights when they come (wish I could upload the pictures of the lights but they exceed the size limit). Andres was also very persistent — he was constantly on the watch, even on our way back to the city, to make sure we eventually got to see some big light movements that roamed across the sky.

  My husband and I did two trips with Andres and enjoyed each day very much. We took the Golden Circle tour on arrival day in Reykavik and then we... read more were taken to the ship. And then, Immediately after disembarkation, Andres took us to see all in the Reykjanes peninsula area. The scenery is spectacular and the history interesting. We highly recommend booking with Mercury Grail.

  We wanted to see the Golden Circle tour but did not want to be on a bus with 40 or more passengers. The perfect solution for us was... read more to take private tour from Mercury Grail with Andres as our guide.
