Terrible Experience and Professionalism

We were extremely disappointed with the Northern Lights tour on 24 December. Despite being promised either a reschedule or a refund due to poor weather conditions prior to the final stop, the tour felt rushed and unprofessional at the last stop, which only lasted 17 minutes. The lights were mostly hidden behind clouds, and no one could see them with their own cameras—only the professional camera captured them. The stop should have lasted longer to allow guests a proper view and time for the clouds to clear, rather than existing solely to meet the tour’s “guarantee.” We were not given the opportunity to fully enjoy the phenomenon, even though our pickup started at 6:45 pm and we were back by 12:30 am. Compared to other companies, this tour fell far short of reasonable expectations. Overall, we felt misled and let down, and the experience did not reflect what was promised. We were provided with the manager’s contact number to reach out and discuss the matter. We have since sent an initial message and a follow-up message, but have received no response. We have given the adequate opportunity to discuss our issues. The lack of response has also left us very disappointed with the unprofessional service we have received after and on the tour. We additionally have not received a message about the photos which are meant to be provided.
Fantastic experience, highly recommended!

I booked last minute when a different tour canceled. I was able to get picked up at my hostel, which is so convenient. The guide took us to some great spots where we could avoid clouds. Everything was really great and affordable. The van was comfortable despite it being very very cold that night. I highly recommend!
Definitely the best choice

It's been a magical night. The predictions were good but not so good... Nile and his team made everything easy. For me it was important to feel safe along the way and surprisingly although the road was snowy the driving was unbeatable. Thank you so much for this dream night.
Magical!

Amazing experience! The guide was very professional and truly hunted for the Northern Lights until he found them! We even went to Sweden to find the clearest skies! And the guide took some beautiful photos! You can't come to Rovaniemi and not do this tour! I highly recommend it!
The best experience in lapland

Elia the best in the world. We had a great afternoon. We saw the auroras on the second attempt. In the first attempt we did not see it and let us repeat it the next day at no cost. They recommended the experience
Simply amazing

Our experience was truly magical. Aino made sure we had an exceptional time. She’s a very good driver (which wasn’t easy because of the bad weather), a very good photographer (she had enough patience, which isn’t easy 😉), made sure we were always comfortable during the trip, she showed a lot of professionalism, kindness, and was attentive. She was ready to do anything to make sure we had a unique experience, and we ended up seeing the Northern Lights thanks to her perseverance. PS: This opinion is shared by our entire group.
Absolutely fantastic

Elias is such a friendly great guide! He has wide network and he brought us to the location which only the local knows. We managed to see the light even when the cloud coverage is 100% at Rovaniemi. He also picked us up from our Airbnb (not at the city center) which makes it so convenient to us! He helped us to take good photos with the Aurora as well. Highly recommended!
