Reviews

The best Northern Lights tour, period.

The service was beyond excellent! Super nice, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic! Not only did we get to see the Northern Lights, but we also had super yummy home baked snacks as well as a wonderful Astronomy lesson. Thirston (Ill call him this) whom is not only the tallest human I have ever met, but also very excited to teach and show us all about the stars and constellations.

Amazing experience!

Gandri Ventures provided a wonderful Golden Circle tour! With a decent size party, they provided a knowledgeable, fun tour, and let us dictate our own pace!

Stunning Introduction to Iceland

Review of: Private Golden Circle in a SUV

An absolute must for anyone visiting Iceland for the first time. You’ll be able to take in some stunning sights with an excellent tour guide (in our case LT) to show you around and talk you through a bit of the history. Truly unforgettable.

Be warned; Icelandic culture does seem to have a soft spot for eating children, so be sure to behave or else the Santas will get you!

On a serious note; wrap up warm if you’re going later in the year. While the landscape is stunning, you’ll want to be prepared for the weather so you can enjoy it with no distractions.

A great day out I won't forget in a long while!

Guide was super friendly and helpful as well as very knowledgeable. The Icelandic landscape is really unique and this was a great way to see a bunch of fascinating natural features. We could take our time if we wanted to at a location and not rushed. Amazing day out with the crew on a day off of a long production.

10/10

Great experience. Very smart guide who talke dabout all the fun things we were seeing and shared some great stories.

About Gandri Ventures

Gandri Ventures is a small family-run company in Iceland. The owners are Gunnar Andri nicknamed „Gandri“ and his fiancé Birna nicknamed „Ladybear“. They love Iceland and love showing it off to other people.

„Gandri“has always been involved in tourism in Iceland. His Great Grandfather founded one of the oldest coach company’s in Iceland. When Gandri was growing up at his grandparents his grandfather was running the company. Gandri was lucky and got to travel a lot in Icelandic Highlands with his uncle who ran a big Superjeep company.

Gandri always wanted to drive jeeps but he never joined the family company, but driving was always his passion, first as a truck driver than a bus driver and finally a super jeep driver.

He takes his family passion for tourism into his company.

From early age „Ladybear“ travelled around Iceland with her family. Growing up hiking mountains and driving in the highlands gave her the respect and passion for the island and everything it has to offer. One of her passions is photography and wherever she goes her camera is with her. Taking pictures of the northern lights has been one of her favourite’s subjects along with the Icelandic nature. Ladybear takes her love and passion for Iceland and Icelandic nature into the company in hope to share it with other people
