5.00We saw the most amazing display of aurora borealis imaginable. Even though we had really clear weather, György - our guide - took the time to drive us more toward the mainland for even clearer skies and a better experience. He was kind, cool and explained a lot about all kinds of aspects of the northern lights, he is very knowledgable. He took some amazing photos too! Unforgettable experience, it was perfect!

5.00On Sunday, February 2, 2024, my wife and I were extremely pleased to be part of a small group tour to experience and see the majestic Northern Lights. We were extremely pleased with our tour guide George. He took us to one of the fjords, just outside of Tromso, Norway, where we saw the beautiful Northern Lights. George is very knowledgeable of the science behind the formation of the Northern Lights and he's an excellent Photographer as well. Within a couple of days of our tour, we received a link to the many photos that George took. The photos were just fantastic! I highly recommend this tour and give it a rating of Five Stars++++.
