Once-in-a-lifetime experience - The Northern Lights tour was a great experience! The car was very clean and comfortable, and our guides, Chevo and Emin, were incredibly nice and caring, making sure we stayed warm with hot chocolate and sweets along the way. They took us to two spots, and at the second, we were lucky to see the Northern Lights. The guides also took high-quality photos, which we received by email the next morning. Had we not seen the lights at the second spot, they would have gladly continued with us to increase our chances. We were very pleased and would highly recommend this tour!

Magic ! - One must be lucky in terms of the weather and fortunately we were! On a clear sky night MAGIC happens! If you are interested in photography, bring a good camera, lens with large opening aperture and remember that the tripod is a must! Once the weather is on your side there is one more essential condition to be met: having Chevo next to you as a guide! His knowledge, expertise, professionalism and unlimited kindness are outstanding. Not to mention that he has got serious photographic skills so he will provide you with lovely, never to forget, shots taken by himself and e-mailed later to you! In a nutshell: go for it, you won't regret it at all!

Unforgettable Northern Lights Adventure - My dad and I took a trip to Finland at the end of October with the primary aim of seeing the Northern Lights. We knew that we wanted to do a guided tour as we had heard that was the closest "guarantee" you can get to seeing them. After doing a lot of research, we decided to do this tour due to its good reviews and seeing that the tour guide "was relentless" in his pursuit of the lights - and that he was. Our tour guide was Chevo, and we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! Chevo was very knowledgeable about the aurora and what conditions were needed to see them and what locations would provide the needed viewing conditions on the given night of the tour. The night of our tour, viewing conditions in Finnish Lapland were not looking promising, so Chevo told us we would go all the way to Sweden if we needed to in order to see them (which we ended up doing, which was a fun addition to the adventure). We ended up seeing the Northern Lights in several locations - we stopped several areas in Lapland and took photos and were offered a pastry and warm tea. The entire experience was one we will never forget. Seeing the aurora was incredible and the adventure, knowledge, and service that Chevo provided was unmatched. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the Northern Lights and is up for a little adventure to find them.

Experience of five travelers' first time in Lapland - [About the trip] First time visiting Lapland with friends, and one of our must-tries is to witness the Aurora. Every moment was worth the money and time. Chevo is a huge geek and Aurora enthusiast, giving us clear instructions and explanation on how experts like him chase and predict prime locations to witness those dancing lights. The van/shuttle was very clean and comfortable. Our trip happened on the 31st of October at 7 pm, and we came back to our residence at 2 pm. At 11 pm, we saw the birth of the Aurora, and it brightened the night sky in a way we did not expect. From horizon to horizon, dancing blue, green, and pink lights were observed for more than an hour. The milky way was visible, as well as Mars and Jupiter. The experience was truly magical and definitely one for the books!!! [More about Chevo] He is a very responsive individual. Back when my friends and I are still looking for a tour package, I messaged him in Instagram to know more. He is knowledgeable in his field, and his way of communicating showed earnest respect for his customers. During the day of the trip, he picked us up from our airbnb, being very attentive to people's needs. Small snacks and delicious blueberry tea were served while we were waiting for the Aurora. He is also well-prepared to get the best photos and videos! His passion shone through and he knows more than anyone that this is a once in a lifetime experience for tourists. 10/10 would recommend for families, couples, friends, and solo travelers! **Just one thing for future customers, have dinner before the tour!!! You cannot accurately predict the time and location of the Aurora ahead of time, so the trip might take longer than expected. Better to see the Aurora with a full stomach and a mind clear of hunger 😁🎉

Best guided tour yet!! - I have to say that this has been the best experience with a tour guide ever. Chevo is the best so far in my years of traveling. He was attentive to all of our needs and was very knowledgeable on where and when to take us. Please, if you come to Rovaniemi, book this tour. You won't regret it!!! Tengo que empezar diciendo que este a sido el mejor tour con guia que e tomado en mis años de viajes. Chevo es el mejor guia que e conocido hasta ahora. El fue bien atento a nuestras necesidades y es una fuente de conocimiento sobre las luces norteñas. El sabía donde y cuando llevarnos para tener el mejor show posible. Si van para Rovaniemi, tienen que agarrar este tour con Chevo, no se arrepentirán!!

They have the knowledge and they know what they are doing and they will take you to the best spots to see the auroras in your specific night (as it depends on the weather and you need to go to clear skies). They also take several and amazing photos; Food and beverages are also included! We had an incredible night!! What a lucky night before going back to our country 🇵🇹 Of course we totally recommend this tour! Big Thank You Chevo!!

A perfect experience with a passionate guide - Going with our amazing guide Chevo was the best decision! We highlighly recommend the tour, because you can trust the guide in every regard. Very good real time data in combination with an experience-based selection of well hidden spots are a guarantee for an amazing time under the lapish sky ✨ We booked originally for a day when there were too many clouds. Chevo offered a full refund or a rebooking to another tour. That’s what we did and we were rewarded! The group was not too big (18 guests, 2 vans) and even Chevo was full of passion for the. Northern lights. To sum it up for us: a day we will remember for the rest of out lives ♥️🙏

All was not lost - Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with us seeing the lights with our naked eyes. They had to cancel my tour the first night due to the weather. I was able to reschedule for the next night. This company did absolutely everything they could possibly do to make sure that we had the best experience. We were able to see the lights through our tour guide's camera. We were still able to get great photos. I will try again at a later date to see the lights.
