We had lovely guides on this activity. It was very nice to be able to experience the aurora borealis (on the way to the aurora village). Our guide ensured that we stopped on the way to take pictures as there is no guarantee it would show that bright again later. We could have been done better is providing a torch or headlights for the walk from the car to the tent. It was dark and the snow cover was thick and it was a struggle to see where we were walking (especially since we had a toddler with us). Also the reindeer soup was yumm but the quantity was not enough for a dinner meal.
