Good trip - The tour went smoothly and was as described. Picked up from our hotel (in Rovaniemi) on time and it took about 30 minutes to get to the cottage. The cottage overlooks a lake which was frozen and covered in snow. It was a lovely clear night but unfortunately the aurora were not out. I'm sure you would see them from this location if they were. It was handy having the cottage as it was a very cold night and its a useful place to pop into to warm up. You get a sausage and mashmallows that are prepared on an open BBQ outside. The guide was helpful and friendly. There is another tour operator next door but that didn't impact us. The guide takes some photographs that they share.

Ideal Northern Lights excursion for families - We really enjoyed this trip, I booked it because there was shelter for my children (it was -23' when we went). We were picked up by Dimitri and drove 30km to the lakeside house. Once there we walked out onto the frozen lake and Dimitri started to check for aurora on his camera. There was activity and it was picked up better on the camera than the naked eye but we got a great photograph to top off our week in Lapland. We had hot drinks and cookies and the children were given marshmallows and skewers to toast on the outdoor fire. We also had BBQ sausage and were emailed a link to the photographs (free) after the trip. A good excursion, thank you Dimitri.

Unforgettable - What a lovely evening trip out to see the northern lights! Our guide was very prompt in picking us up, told us lots of interesting information about Rovaniemi and aurora borealis. The location was lovely and the fire was very welcoming. We even had photos taken for us and sent later which was a great touch. Thank you again for a memorable time!

The best! Absolutely love it! - Our guide, Andrei, is the best! We came with little expectation, but we were blown away by his knowledge, hospitality, and thoughtfulness. We saw the lights, had bbq sausage in the open, hot drinks, biscuits, and marshmallows. The cottage is lovely, especially when it gets cold, and you just wanted to get warm up for a bit. Highly recommended! We booked months in advance. On the day itself, we received a text telling us that it was cloudy and our chance would be better the next day. We were given the option to change if we like. Thankfully, we did, and we saw the lights! Great service!

Excellent guide, imperfect updating system. - Our guide was excellent. We saw a bit of the lights on this trip. (Nature's will , nothing the guides can do about this, they were great). The booking process less so. They will only send an email for the pickup time of the activity the day you book (we never received this mail btw). So if you book month(s) ahead of time you won't receive any reminders or emails about the pickup time closer to your activity. If you get a mail when you book, save it!
