Cozy fire and nice... - Cozy fire and nice snacks/reindeer stew; haven't figured out how to see the pictures yet, but it was a really nice night. There was a 1:30 a.m. curfew, which showed that the company had the staff's rights in mind (and/or that they didn't want to pay overtime?), but we went all the way to the Finnish border and waited for a long time for the lights. Saw a bit of green and a baby moose on the road!

Highlight of our hunt for auroras - The minute David introduced himself and described his obsession of hunting auroras, we knew we had the right guide. It was no surprise that he maintained his >90% hit rate with us: we were treated to an unreal show of dancing lights that seemed to go on forever. This is someone who goes above and beyond and truly wants to share his love for chasing auroras, teaching us everything from the right apps to download and tricks and hacks on our phones and cameras. Thank you for the absolute highlight of our vacation!

An amazing night out to see Northern Lights - My family and I came to Tromso with our main objective to chase for the Northern Lights. We were thankful that we joined the tour with an amazing tour guide Pedro. He was knowledgeable about how to search for the best location.
The night started with a campfire with some hot reindeer stew, thereafter he kept looking out in the sky and guided us how to see with bare eyes and how to get the best photos. He constantly checking on us to ensure that we kept warm. The tour also included some traditional dessert, and or course hot chocolate in this chilly weather. Pedro helped us to take photos using his camera and all photos look great!
We were lucky to have a clear sky during the night we went so that aurora was dancing through the sky the whole night. It was a great experience!

"Don't freak out" - "Don't freak out." LOL. YES do freak out because the lights this evening were amazing. David guided us in the snowy weather to the exact spot we wanted to be (vs. driving to multiple locations or all the way to Finland) when it stopped snowing and we had finished our delicious reindeer stew. Lying in the snow on reindeer hides watching for the light show to begin was the highlight of my northern lights adventure.
Highly recommend David, his enthusiasm, and creativity to cut the light pollution from other not so conscientious groups.

A tour true to its name - What a fabulous small group tour! Our guide, David, made the trip so special. He was knowledgable, knew where to go and his passion and excitement for the lights was infectious. The lights were spectacular.

An unforgettable experience under professional guidance of a passionate expert - Our guide David "infected" us immediately with his passion for searching and enjoying polar lights. After 90 minutes drive in a comfortable van, he found an appropiate cloudless spot for expecting the Northern Lights. We were lucky, that we could watch this colourful natural spectacle continuing more than 3 hours. David made awesome fotos - also together with the tour guests - and supplied us in between with reindeer stew, cookies and warm drinks at the campfire. After midnight we euphoricly returned to Tromso and thanked David for this unforgettable experience.

Amazing northern lights chase - The experience was amazing. Aiden was a great guide. He took plenty of great pictures and we were able to see the lights in two different spots. This was one of my best experiences, the lights danced for almost two hours.

Great tour - Martin was a great guide. We found the perfect spot and saw the lights for about 2 hours.
They could take more photos as the opportunity was definitely there, the choice of only 1 photo was limited compared to other trips.

We didn’t see it, but there was - What angers me is not so much the fact that I didn’t see the aurora as that other, less expensive tours found it. Instead, our guide, once on the street, started saying that because the sky was cloudy, we would be lurking in a spot looking for a hole in the clouds, very small that has never been there. They got the wrong place, but there was never any mention of trying to move, just waiting for those within 20 minutes to send updates.
Personally, given the cost (190€) and not much dinner (one cookie, a couple of mashmellows, a very small portion of reindeer stew), I recommend tacking on other types of tours, perhaps bringing a packed dinner and taking the larger buses to those reduced by 15 people.
I also advise you to wait until the last minute to book, if the weather is not the best you risk losing money because obviously despite a cloud cover of 85% they did not dare to cancel the experience.
