Magnetic North Travel

Magnetic North Travel planned our two-week Iceland trip from start to finish and it was absolutely flawless. Every hotel was perfectly located, the guided glacier hike was a highlight of my life, and our local guide Sigrid was extraordinarily knowledgeable. When our connecting flight in Reykjavik got delayed, the agency had already rebooked us before we even had a chance to panic. Cannot recommend them enough.

I booked a Northern Lights tour through Magnetic North and it exceeded every expectation I had. The small group size meant we got personal attention, and our guide actually tracked the aurora forecast in real time and drove us 40 miles to a better viewing spot. We saw the most incredible display I've ever witnessed. Worth every single penny.

My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary on a trip Magnetic North put together for us in Patagonia. They remembered it was our anniversary without us even mentioning it twice, and arranged a private candlelit dinner at a lodge overlooking Torres del Paine. The attention to detail was something I've never experienced with a travel agency before. Truly a trip of a lifetime.

I've used at least six different travel agencies over the years and Magnetic North is in a completely different league. They organized a self-drive tour of Scotland for me and three friends. The route they mapped out hit every whisky distillery, castle, and coastal road we wanted. The printed travel booklet they provided was incredibly detailed and saved us constantly. Already planning my next trip with them.

Magnetic North planned a solo adventure for me through Finnish Lapland including a stay in a glass igloo, reindeer sledding, and a husky safari. Every single experience was exactly as described or better. The glass igloo had a heated mattress and we saw the Northern Lights from our bed. Communication from the agency was fast and friendly throughout the planning process. Already recommending them to everyone I know.

Went on the Magnetic North Iceland ring road tour and it was the best two weeks of my adult life. The group of 8 people became genuine friends by the end. Our guide Marcus was hilarious and knew every hidden waterfall and hot spring off the beaten path. The agency was also incredibly responsive when I needed to change my flight home due to a family situation. Five stars without hesitation.

I've now booked three trips through Magnetic North and they keep getting better. This last one was a photography tour through Norwegian fjords and they paired us with a professional photographer who gave us nightly feedback sessions on our shots. The fjord light in June is unlike anything I've ever seen. My travel consultant remembered my dietary restrictions from two years ago without me having to mention them. That kind of service is rare.

Magnetic North organized a family trip for four generations of my family to visit Norway including my 78-year-old grandmother. They were so thoughtful about accessibility planning, making sure every excursion had options for different mobility levels. My grandmother rode a scenic railway through Bergen and said it was the best day of her life. Seeing her face was worth more than I can express. This agency truly cares about people.
