Extraordinary and Really Knowledgeable Guide! - Our guide, Sebastian went above and beyond in terms of chasing the northern lights. Although the weather was quite a bit challenging (cloudy everywhere) but we managed to have a sneak peek of this green lady. We really appreciate our guide’s effort in finding clear sky amidst cloudy forecast everywhere

Northern Lights - An excellent search for the Northern Lights in a minibus led by Steve. He was on time for the pick up, and friendly and engaging throughout. He knew exactly where to go for the dark sky searching for gaps in the clouds. Not only did we see them, we had hot chocolate and pastries as well!! Thanks Steve.

By the fire with a cup of hot chocolate, a small husky on his hands, and Aurora over his head. It's unforgettable. I recommend this tour. WILD.

This is a must. - It was very informative about Norway's history. Very enjoyable. Unfortunately not blessed with the Northern Lights,, but that didn't lessen the quality of this experience. The pastries were very delicious

Hunting for Northern Lights - Steven was our host for the evening and was very knowledgeable and entertaining!He does his job very well and knows a thing or two about the Northern Lights. He had some great spots to bring us to .Even on quite an overcast night with a bright moon he still managed to get a photo of us with the Aurora. (Yes)Very happy. Also he provided us with hot chocolate and snacks.

Unfortunately the weather... - Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate on the night of our tour so we didn’t see any northern lights. Steven was very kind and positive throughout the evening though.

Tour should never have started….weather was awful. Should have been cancelled. - The tour was in Search of northern Lights. Before we left it was snowing and total cloud cover. It never really got better. Yet the tour operator took us out probably knowing full well we would see no lights. This should have been cancelled and our money returned.

Beware - you cannot cancel in the event of adverse weather … despite the booking conditions not explaining this clearly. - I booked through Get Your Guide where the booking conditions stated “may be cancelled in the event of dangerous driving conditions or severe weather”. It did not specify who made the decision about these - the operator or the customer. Having had 4 hours of continuous snow today on top of compacted ice and overnight temps of minus 17, I wrote to the operator to explain that I felt the driving conditions were dangerous. My hotel is 30 minutes away from Alta and none of the local roads have been cleared. They refused any kind of refund and said that they thought the conditions were fine. I expect they know there will be no northern lights tonight due to the snow but want to keep my £320 anyway. Buyers beware! The booking conditions are deliberately ambiguous.
