Great experience - Great experience, great organisation. They are trustable person, not the classic that wants only money, they tell you if there is the chance to see the Aurora, and in case is a bad day they cancel the reservation or reschedule it. Other companies just tried to get our money even if the sky was really cloudy. Everyone in the staff was really friendly and prepared. On top they photographed us and gifted the photo. Other companies ask for 100+€ per photo. Also the dinner with the camp fire was good.

Amazing experience - Alex is a great guide, couldn't recommend enough! Honest and very open to explain and try to find the best spots to see the Aurora. When searching, I was looking for someone that didn't realy just want to exploit tourists trying to get the money when there is zero chance to see the lights and also just sit in a spot without hunting the lights. Alex's tour is the opposite. Keep in mind that Aurora is unpredictable, you may have all the chances, great sun activity but still not being able to see it. But at least find a professional open to try their best to give you the opportunity to see it. I booked last minute because my other tour was canceled and Alex was very flexible. We got lucky to see the lights after three or four cloudy days in town, but he was also very honest about the probabilities for that night. - He does pick up in the central area - Small group (in our car we were in four people only) - Hot juice and barbecue were a nice courtesy, I wasn't even expecting! - Also he took some pictures of us (and sent it the next morning without extra cost) which is also something I didn't expect. So yeah, if you get the chance, do it. Even if you don't see the lights, at least you will have the feeling that it was worth trying. Thanks! FYI: Tour date: 29/01/24

Amazing Aurora hunt - We had a really good time hunting the Aurora Borealis together with Alex. We had a nice barbecue, got warmed up by the fire, and actually got to experience the lights !! It was incredible, and throughout the experience the atmosphere was jolly and fun. Thank you for an amazing time !

Northen lights night - We were picked up at our hotel and taken to different locations to see the northern lights. December is not the best month as the weather can be quite unpredictable. Luckily we were able to catch a glimpse of this natural wonder followed by a much needed barbeque. The pictures came for free :)

Bland and uneventful - Although there are no guarantees to see the lights this wasn’t the problem with the excursion. The tour guides could have provided a lot more energy and enthusiasm about the trip. There was very little dialogue from them and it seemed the whole night was a chore. At least enjoy the company of those you are taking out

If you want to make sure you do the tour, avoid this agency - I booked online the Aurora hunt with BBQ with To the North agency and I was supposed to be picked up at 7:50 PM. Nobody showed up. At 8:03 PM I texted someone from the agency. I also called them. No answer. Then they messaged me saying I had already been picked up. Really?! I was freezing waiting for them since 7:35 PM in front of a hotel and the guy tells me first that I have already been picked up and then that it seems that “somebody has sat on my place”. WTF?! Then they checked it and they said that an Asian lady who didn’t speak English said my name in order to be picked up. My name?! My name is a Catalan name. I explained it to some Asian friends and they are still laughing. I begged them to be picked up because it was my last opportunity to see the Northern lights and their answer was: “All cars already left, somebody took your place”. No apologies. No solutions. Nothing. 1- Nobody was picked up at 7:50 PM at the place I was supposed to be picked up and was written in my email. I was there and no Asian ladies with Catalan names were there. The truth is that there was a customer waiting for a van at Arctic light hotel and nobody showed up. 2- If there has been a misunderstanding or it’s your mistake, call the client immediately, apologize and give an explanation. 3- If the client calls you several times, answer the phone. 4- Maybe your hikes are not located in Sunset Boulevard but bloody hell, you really think you are a cheap Hollywood screenwriter with your ridiculous stories about Asian ladies who impersonate customers. I ended up booking last minute with Nordic agency. They are absolutely great and they made sure I left the country having seen the Northern lights. This is how you run a business, not saying things like: “One asian lady said that she Montse, she dont speak english”. So ridiculous. I chose the option “pay on arrival” so probably they gave my place to another person who called last minute and paid immediately online and they “forgot” my booking, otherwise they would have picked me up because the vans were not that far when everything happened and it wasn’t my mistake. Vamos, que pasaron absolutamente de todo porque les dio la real y absoluta gana demostrando lo poco profesionales que son. Si os queréis asegurar de hacer la excursión, reservad en otra agencia.
