Amazingly Professional and Remarkable Experience - Tom is someone you would absolutely thrive to have as a guide. His knowledge of the country, awareness of the situation are top notch. It's never easy to keep a tourist group engaged at a -8 degrees temperature with decently windy conditions and he kept doing that effortlessly. And the highlight of the tour was of course seeing so many layers of the northern lights. His hospitality, photography sense and overall patience are truly remarkable. Pretty sure even if we had missed to see the lights, nobody would have been disappointed given the way Tom managed things. Kudos!

Great! - Barney was great. Very prompt. This company communicates with you. No guessing about pick-up and times. Unfortunately we did not see any lights but Barney’s commentary was informative and entertaining. I would definitely book with them again.

Amazing night - Arni made our night! We didn’t see anything at first but he didn’t stop searching until we got to see the lights. He told such great stories and was so knowledgeable about the lights. Truly an unforgettable experience and the hot coco and cinnamon buns were also a plus. Thanks Arni!!!!

First time seeing the northern lights - This tour was just incredible! We went on a night where there was a storm and all other tours were cancelled. We drove for 1+ hour out of the city (close to the airport) and waited another 1+ hour and the sky cleared and we saw the most spectacular lights. BG was our guide and we couldn’t have asked for someone better. He was so knowledgeable and so good at his job, this guy has a passion for northern lights! We was encouraging all the time and so happy whenever he would see one and would encourage the whole group to get as excited. And it was needed because it was really cold (so really bundle up and be prepared for the cold). The pictures we received were stunning! And BG made sure we all got the picture we wanted and encouraged everyone to take them so you can keep them as a memory. The hot chocolate was delicious! Would highly recommend this tour with this company and hopefully you get BG!

Wonderful Experience and Guide - We came with the goal to see the northern lights and were so happy that all aligned for us to see them. Marta was a wonderful guide! She was friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. The blankets, hot chocolate, and unlimited professional photos were excellent touches and made this experience more than worth the cost!

Disappointing - Although I realize it wasn’t their fault we didn’t see any Northern Lights due to the clouds, it was a very cold experience. The whole experience was less than it was described on the website. However, the tour guide was very friendly & interesting & did her very best to try & find a spot where we could see the lights.

Could have been better. - I felt this trip could have been more professional. No bkankets. Only a quarter of a cinnamon bun. Not great value for money.

Terrible guide - The guide had zero customer interaction with the guests. He did tell us it needed to be dark where we were going but everywhere we went there were lights all around. We did another Northern Lights tours the day before and it was absolutely great. This tour should have been canceled to start with due to the weather conditions but I guess the money meant more to them than actually letting people see the lights. They knew there was no way we would see anything lights. Definitely would not recommend this company.
