Chasing the northern lights in Tromso was unforgettable. George was an exceptional guide, very professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He knew exactly where to go for the best views and made the whole experience feel magical. The trip was well organized, with every detail thought through, from timing and comfort to photography tips and warm drinks by the fire. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a truly memorable northern lights adventure.

Incredible experience. We had already given up on being able to see the Northern Lights given it was forecast to be cloudy the entire time we were in Norway. However, Georgy pulled through and beat the rush to find us two awesome spots not far from the border of Finland. The man really knows his stuff and his passion for the lights matches recaps from friends. I too am happy to join the club of those who recommend Boreal Quest to anyone that has the lights on their bucket list. His 100% success rate continues!

I had an incredible experience on this tour. George was an insightful and knowledgeable guide on our Aurora tour. We drove for a couple hours to find clear skies and he found us a quiet valley with nobody else around. We had hot drinks and homemade soup and he lit a fire for us and we watched the Northern Lights for hours. He was very prepared as well with hand/feet warmers and thermal suits to layer on top of everything else. 10/10 experience, I cannot wait to go again!

It had been a tough day. The clouds were everywhere from Tromso to Finland but George, our hungarian bornt awesome guide, managed to find the only clear sky spot in 200 km and we could finally see the very much seeked aurora borealis in Kilpisjarvhi, in Finlad. The spot he chose to stop the car was simply the best considering the circunstances, and we had a great time taking photos and having chocolate and lentils soup. A memnorable day we would necer forget surrounded by friends a family. A real pleasure worth every krone.

George was great! He knew exactly where to take us for an amazing show! Not only did we get to see the northern lights from a perfect location but he was very prepared with hand warmers and warm clothing as we were all getting cold. He set up a fire and made homemade soup for us which was delicious! I really recommend this tour! I went on two during my trip to ensure i saw the lights and Boreal Quest was significantly a better experience.

We had an unforgettable experience with George on our northern lights tour. He took us to a perfect spot where we were lucky enough to see the aurora dancing across the sky. George gave clear and interesting explanations about the lights and the surrounding nature, which made the evening even more special. What really stood out was the personal touch – he prepared delicious homemade soup and set up a cozy campfire that kept us warm while we waited. George is super friendly, welcoming, and at the same time very professional, making sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. This tour felt both magical and personal, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!I’m

Our experience with George was absolutely unforgettable! Despite the challenging weather conditions, he used his expertise and determination to find the perfect spots where we could witness the magic of the Northern Lights. Thanks to his patience and professionalism, we ended up seeing some of the most stunning auroras we could have ever imagined bright, dancing, and simply breathtaking. George is not only highly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, but also extremely kind, attentive, and friendly. He made us feel comfortable the entire time and shared his enthusiasm in such an inspiring way. His dedication truly sets him apart, and it was clear how much he cares about giving his guests the best possible experience. If you are in Tromsø and want a genuine, unforgettable Northern Lights adventure, look no further, George and Boreal Quest are the ones you should choose!

What an incredible experience! George really makes the difference. He's a very honest guide. Prior to my arrival, while booking the experience, he asks information about your stay. I didn't know what was the purpose until I received a whatsapp message while I was in Oslo boarding to my flight to Tromso. I was going to stay there for 3 nights just in case I weren't lucky on my first (that's when I booked my tour). He told me weather conditions and forecast were not on our side. Knowing I was going to be there for 2 additional nights he suggested to reschedule. We went on the chase on my last night and he didn't failed me. I could see the beauty of the Aurora live, fulfilling a long time dream. He drove us around an hour and a half looking for clear skies and nice conditions. Once we parked, lights were already starting. We enjoyed the show, capturing every moment. He offers to take you pictures with his camera or your own. He shares tripods if needed and helps with settings. After a while, he set a bonfire and shared some hot beverages. Then we had a delicious soup and bread. While having dinner he shared explanations and tales of Auroras. On the way back he rode us back at our hotel. On the next day I received in my email an access to download all the photos he took! I would definitely recommend his tour. What a professional guy!!! Thank you George for everything!!!
