Well organized tour! Definitely recommended! - We have had a well organized tour! With driver Sven and guide Katarina we drove a long way from the city to find a nice place. Katarina was constantly monitoring for aurora activity. Fortunately, there were beautiful northern lights! She made some beautiful pictures and they were available for download the next day. She took ample time to admire the light and we only drove away when the light also became fainter. It was a successful evening, I would definitely recommend NLT guide company.

Absolutely magical Northern Lights safari! - Our Northern Lights safari in Tromsø was truly unforgettable. Our guide Stefan was incredibly friendly, passionate and knew exactly where to go. Thanks to him, we saw stunning Northern Lights dancing across the sky in beautiful, colorful waves — an absolutely magical experience. The comfortable minibus, hot cocoa and cookies, and the fact that photos were taken and shared online the very next day made the tour even better. I would recommend this experience to everyone — an absolute must-do when visiting Tromsø!

Best Northern Lights Chase! - We had the best experience with our tour guide Peter on this Northern Lights chase! He went above and beyond to ensure we not only saw the lights, but also got amazing photos and have an overall enjoyable time. My partner proposed to me at one of our stops, and Peter did an incredible job of taking pictures of us with the lights. We will never forget this day!

Aurora Borealis - What a night to remember, witnessing the Aurora Borealis! Our tour guide was Peter—he was very knowledgeable and truly knew his job. Without wasting any time, he made sure we witnessed the Aurora Borealis. It’s very hard to find a correct and knowledgeable guide. Thank you so much, Peter, for taking our experience of seeing the Northern Lights to the next level.

Bad experience and wish I had stayed at home. - Bus seats way too tight. Could have just cancelled the trip if the chances of seeing the northern light is low. Just imaging paying the expensive ticket and spend 4 hours just riding the car with super tight space. What a terrible experience. Wish I had gone with another tour where they actually go to Finland to see it.

Huge disappointment - We chose NLT Guide Company for our northern lights chasing tour. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment for us. We perfectly know that northern lights are a phenomenon which depends completely on nature and is unpredictable but if all region (including Finland) is affected with tremendous snow storm and low clouds you simply cancel the tour (as many other tour operators did) and don’t pretend that there might be some openings and there is a chance to see northern lights. On the same night our friends had trips scheduled with other tour operators and they got canceled due to bad weather and dangerous driving conditions while our trip took place. We are not frustrated because we didn’t see the aurora but because of how the trip was organised and that it happened at all. It started very late (at 19:30) and the guide decided to take us all the way to Finland (3 hours one way) only to tell us that we are returning because (surprise surprise) it’s snowing heavily (while terrible snow was predicted in all weather forecasts). We did not even leave the bus for any activity and returned to Tromso at 3 am, extremely tired. In addition, the bus was driving extremely slow (all other cars were passing us by) cause it had broken windshield wipers - the driver stopped almost every 15 minutes to remove ice and snow from the wipers which consumed a lot of time and we found it extremely dangerous and unbelievable (they decided to drive during a snow storm and didn’t even check the wipers?!). It is also true that this company makes many unnecessary stops on the way (e.g. half an hour toilet stop one hour from departure). But the worst part of the tour was our tour guide - Katerina. She didn’t seem to be determined as if she knew from the very beginning that this tour will be a failure. She behaved like this job was a punishment for her, we didn’t even see her smile once and no real initiative or nice communication came from her. Hey NLT, if your employees are so exhausted then maybe you should give them a few days off. To sum up, apparently NLT Guide Company chases money not the northern lights.
