I almost never write reviews, but I actually wanted to create an account on Trip Advisor just so I can share what an amazing experience I had with Iceland Photo Tours and especially with our guide Raymond Hoffmann. Raymond went out of his way to help us all make some truly remarkable images including: 1. walking half a kilometer over ice in the dark so he could persuade a work crew to turn off the light that was ruining our once in a lifetime Northern Light photos, monitoring the weather and conditions hourly and continually redirecting to the point with the best lighting and the best shooting conditions and weather, and most amazingly working his network of contacts on the island to get back a tablet we left in one of the hotels through a Rube Goldberg style system of having the hotel staff give the tablet to a bus driver and arranging to have lunch at a spot near the drivers route so we could get it the very next day without disrupting the trip or missing any photography opportunities. We were expecting to pay quite a bit to ship that, but Raymond just has a way of making sure everything on the trip went smoothly and worked out perfectly.
I was a bit concerned about the cost of this trip. I haven't done photo tours like this in the past, but if you are a photographer it is very worth it. Raymond is a great photographer and a consummate photo guide who knows when to step in to help you make the perfect image and when to step back to let you be your own photographer.
If you ever have the chance to join one of Raymond's tours I highly recommend that you do so. You will come away with some of the best photos of your life and memories to last a lifetime.

After cancelling our original plans in 2022 due to some health issues we finally made it to Iceland this year (2024). Our first 3 days were spent with Jon travelling from Reykjavik along the south and east coast. Jon's photographic knowledge and enthusiasm for this part of his home made our time together both very productive and most enjoyable. Locals are definitely the people to travel with when you're serious about your photography and Jon's ability to put us in the right place at the right time of the day (or night!) meant we maximised the opportunities the fantastic landscape presented us. The accommodation and meals were first rate as was Jon's company during the longer stretches of driving. Can't thank Jorunn from Iceland Photo Tours for matching us with Jon for our tour and helping with the extended time it took to make this bucket list trip happen.

Had I been able to actually travel with them, I likely would have given them higher marks. But 92 days before our departure date, they emailed me that the trip was cancelled. I had booked with a $2000 deposit a year in advance. 92 days before departure was the FIRST I learned no one else was on my 8-day July departure and it would be cancelled.
Iceland Photo Tours did offer to switch me to one of a couple other trips that were not cancelled, but I could not alter my plans at that point to travel in a different month. My flights were booked and I had other Iceland activities that were already paid for. There was a 3-day trip they offered--not my first choice--but it would have fit with my flights; however, that still left 5 days open and Iceland Photo Tours could not help with a guide or itinerary (even non-photography) or suggestions to fill those 5 days.
It was a great disappointment to suddenly have an 8-day hole in the middle of my Iceland itinerary and be left solely on my own to cobble something together during peak season, only 90 days away. They did give my $2000 deposit back promptly. I ended up booking with Troll Expeditions (that I found on my own through no help from Iceland Photo Tours) for much less cost--a great company, though not a photography trip.

Raymond and Siggi were amazing tour guides on this trip. We were on the Red Sails Tour. This was my second time, but first with Siggi and Raymond. It was obvious that these guys had the experience in staging the boats so that we could get photos of our dreams. They clearly had an excellent rapport with the sailing crew which is super important on a trip like this. I'm considering a third time and hopeful to have Siggi and Raymond again!

Excellent arrangements for this Photo tour to Greenland. Probably the only one in Greenland that uses two red sail boats and take turns to model for the scenic beauty. Very well taken care of by guides Siggigi and Raymond. Very professional, anttentive and made sure we have the best in everything. Great guiding as well. Thank you! Will definitely travel with them again.

The Iceland Photo Tour workshop in Greenland with the iconic red sails was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking landscapes, from icy fjords to towering glaciers, were a photographer's dream. Our guides, Siggi and Raymond, were exceptional—they were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the terrain but also passionate about photography. Their guidance and expertise helped us capture stunning shots that we never imagined possible. They went above and beyond to ensure every participant had a memorable adventure, sharing unique insights into Greenland's natural beauty and culture. This workshop is a must for any photographer seeking inspiration in one of the world's most pristine settings!

This is the second tour that I have taken with “Siggi the Viking” - the first being a winter tour in Iceland in Nov 2023 and this time a trip to Greenland in September where Raymond Hoffman lead the trip along with Siggi! The trip was a combination of learning the skills of professional photography and working a drone, combined with adventure and LOTS of fun 😊! Both the photographers are extremely dedicated, knowledgeable and funny to boots! I would highly recommend this or any other trip with these two talented gentlemen. You’ll have the opportunity to meet interesting people AND you’ll have the time of your life 😊❤️! Thank you, Siggi and Raymond for a fantastic trip 🙏!

We went to Greenland on the Red sails photographic tour and it was epic in every way. We are repeat participants having enjoyed a beautiful 5 day tour of Iceland with Siggi in 2023. We were so impressed we rebooked for another adventure with Siggi. We would highly recommend any Viking International tour- they are locals and expert tour guides guaranteed to show you amazing photographic adventures.

The tour to Ilulisatt, Greenland of the red sail boats and icebergs was incredible! Siggi and Raymond are both absolutely amazing tour guides and made the tour so much more fun and exciting! They were great with planning the logistics and ensuring everyone was safe and comfortable. The sights were amazing and the staff on the boats were also wonderful. I would highly recommend their trips!! I plan on joining them for additional photo tours in the future!

Just returned from an excellent and fun 5 days in Ilulissat. Guides Siggy and Raymond couldn’t have been more helpful with compositions, camera settings and editing tips. Siggy also taught me how to fly and use his drone to get some amazing shots above the icebergs and ice flow. We were unlucky with weather conditions after the first amazing evening, which of course cannot be controlled, but the guys did their utmost along with the boat captains and crew, to get us out into the ice field every night. I personally learned a lot and am going home with some phenomenal shots! Shout out to Damien and Jorge on the Alyonka and the crew on the other boat aswell. Arctic Hotel is very comfortable and restaurant was excellent. Would highly recommend this trip and highly likely to book another tour with the guides. Top tip: fly Greenland Air from Copenhagen! So much more reliable than Icelandair from Reykjavik.

Hi
Did the group linger at each site for long stretches of time, waiting for best photos?
Did you find that bothersome or learning experience? I am thinking of going next August.
Were the leaders of the tour acquainted with Sony, Nikon, and Canon cameras?
How attentive were guides to individual questions about lighting, angle etc.
thanks

I found it to be pretty perfect. They have great local knowledge and tailor the tour according to weather conditions. The light doesn’t change too quickly so there is plenty of time to change compositions at each location. I found our guide to be very attentive to questions and also helpful in advising better angles when required. He was also well aquatinted with all camera brands. I’d go again in a heartbeat!

My wife and I are considering this company for a tour in July 2019. I am the photographer, my wife is not. We are both concerned about the crowds. The company states that they bring groups to areas where there less crowds. My question is, is it possible to get good photography at this time of the year with the presence of all of the tourists, or is it better to go and suffer the winter tours to avoid the masses?

Hello! We would love to have you along with us at Iceland Photo Tours on a summer photography workshop in July 2019. Even though your wife isn't a photographer, she is very welcome to accompany you on the tour at a discounted price and we're sure she'll end up snapping a few photos anyway!
During summer in Iceland, there is a phenomenon that occurs called the Midnight Sun. This means that sunset occurs around 10-11pm at night, with sunrise happening around 2-3am, So we will start photographing in the evenings until sunrise to get best light possible.
Despite summer being the most popular time for travel in Iceland, most tourists continue to sleep during normal evening and night time hours. Since this is the time that we will actually go out to shoot (when everyone else is already sleeping), you'll have incredible opportunities for photography in July without need for concern about clashing with all the daytime crowds at all of our most photogenic and popular locations.
We hope this answers your questions and that you'll join us in July 2019 on the photography adventure of a lifetime.
