Oren was a great driver. It is a long drive but if reaching the Arctic Circle is on your bucket list, this family run tour company will get you there!!

This company is unbelievably unprofessional! They canceled on me at the last second by sending me an email! Which I didn’t see until too late. They didn’t even bother to call or text or contact me directly. As soon as I did see the email I called them and of course got no answer. I left a message, but it’s still not gotten any response. I tried emailing and also I’ve not gotten any response. This company is a scam! Stay away at all costs! There are plenty of other excellent tours to the Arctic Circle.

So unfortunately, I can’t review the experience. My tour was cancelled due to the guide having a serious injury (I hope he/she gets better soon), so my rating and review is about the company rather than the tour. The company did send me a notice approximately 24 hrs in advance to let me know and to give me the option of a refund or to transfer it to another tour. They also gave me the information to another company that offered the tour for if I wanted to see if they had space available. Unfortunately, due to my traveling the entire day, I didn’t see the notice in time, so I missed out. Needless to say I was disappointed, but I did appreciate that they tried to let me know in enough time to make alternate plans.

It's an amazing thing to do before you die. The guide gave detailed information that was very fun. The way is quite long but not boring at all because there are interesting points along the way. Every stop was beyond expectations. It was like a dream come true. Throughout the return journey we saw the Northern Lights very often and the guide stopped at many places to capture this impressive moment. I guess there were 3 places or more which were very beautiful.

We had a disappointing experience. The van broke down due to coolant failure, leaving us stranded in freezing conditions for over 4 hours. The tour couldn’t continue, and no apology was given from the owner, which felt very unprofessional. However, our guide Jessica was extremely polite and helpful throughout the situation. She did her best to keep everyone calm and comfortable. Sadly, the overall experience was unsafe and not worth the risk.
