A receptive city - City perfectly adapted for winter tourism. Good hotels, great restaurants and attractions that go beyond the observation of the aurora boreal

Bucket list item , check - Great Value for money
you get the snowgear a warm drink and a small bag from them, you just have to get in the ven.
there is possibility that they lend you a lens for a couple of camera models (those 1000+€ lenses)
A quick guide to set up the cameras, to capture the northern lights.
CHECK THE WEATHER BEFORE YOU GO, if its cloudy no chance to see much.
Also book this trip first, if you dont see the northern lights, you can try again at a much better rate.
the pictures are not enhanced, but the shutter speed was low.
So they are not as green as that in real life, but one could see them very well, we were lucky
10/10

Great Trip! - Despite not being able to see the Northern Lights with the bare eye, we had a fantastic tour! Our guide, Juhani, took us to a frozen lake where we could observe the clear night sky and even see the Milky Way. We were able to capture the Northern Lights there with our camera. Juhani provided us with a lot of interesting information about the Northern Lights and always helped us set our camera settings correctly. We would book this tour again anytime.

Great experience - We had a wonderful experience with Ryan and Juhani. We were in Ryan's car and he gave us a thorough explanation of the science behind the auroras. We saw the lights almost as soon as we came to their private area near a frozen lake. They wasted no time in setting up the photography equipment and took pictures to our hearts' content. Yuhani grilled amazing sausages!
Earlier in the week, we'd taken the same trip with Sarah. While we didn't see the lights on that one because of cloud cover, she made all the effort andher passion was evident.
Overall, great professionals and a good experience! Also love that the company provides the necessary shoes and overalls.

Great experience! - The people organising the tour were great! Good communication, quick setup with gear, hot drinks and snacks. Our guide was very friendly, tried to coordinate with other people out driving, to try and find the best spots for us. We were lucky and saw the Aurora in 2 different locations. I would definitely recommend them!

10/10 adventure - The effort the guide (forgot name sorry!!) put in was amazing! For about 20 minutes the sky was clear enough for us capture the Northern Lights then we had to venture further as the clouds had formed again. A very fun trip that finished with a nice log fire where we sat and cooked sausages and drank hot berry juice!

Santa Clause and other dreams coming true - A worth wise trip to Rovaniemi in the end of March. Temperatures were fine, as well as a lot of daylight. Still full of snow, some wind and perfect for spending time outdoors. A lot of heart warming experience, aurora borealis, finish sauna and bathing in the icy water, huskies and rain deer sledges, and, of course, Santa Clause, an emotional meeting a character from a child's imagination.

I don’t recommend this tour - My decision to choose this agency was driven by the reviews — most of them of Oren. However, we had no luck and the tour guy assigned showed no interest nor knowledge about the northern lights. He was nice but he never explained anything about the lights (which is expected). We went to a couple of places and after seeing the auroras (maybe two times) he took us back to Rovaniemi. The experience did not meet the expectations and I truly believe that the person you pick for this job must be passionate and knowledgeable — I would not recommend this tour.
