Aurora - Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and Michael our guide. Trip is dependent on weather and our first date was cancelled due to low cloud however easily rescheduled for the next evening. Tour operator’s customer service was excellent.

The greatest show on earth! - Kuba was our tour guide and driver. His driving was excellent as was his knowledge of the Aurora. But his passion for the Northern Lights was inspiring. He found us the perfect location to witness a spectacular show. Everything was perfect.

Unforgettable experience - Gulli, the guide, my apologies if I misspelled the name, was very good. He told us a lot about Northern Lights. He took us on 3 different locations. It was very cold, though my son managed to take lovely photos! Gulli was talking photos for members of group. We were treated to hot chocolate with delicious sweets. Our tour started at 21:30 on 15/02/2026 and we returned to the city around 1am. Thank you so much for such unforgettable experience! Best wishes, Tetiana and Matvii

Brilliant - Great experience. Small group experience meant bus could stop anywhere to view the lights depending on the weather/visibility. We were Lucky to see the lights but it was cloudy so we were able to Rebook and try again. 2nd time we were in a Large coach tour that meant only could stop in set places . We were lucky and saw the lights again with no cloud! Both great experiences and lovely guides. Excellent customer service to allow repeat trip due to cloud.

Northern lights tour! - So cool!!! Sammy was the best tour guide, he introduced us to some Icelandic bangers and helped us find amazing views of the northern lights even though they weren’t particularly active. The hot chocolate was delicious as well. We had the best time, I totally recommend!

Very bad experience the tour didn’t send the other bus right away. We were frozen in the heavy wind and -7 degree - The tour lady may have lots of knowledge of northern lights but not experience. We got trapped in the snow and waited for more than one hour but nothing happened
