The tour was great. Our guide Lena was great. She explained some things to us and answered our questions. Right at the first place we were lucky enough to see Northern Lights and also at the second place we could observe them. Because we saw the Northern Lights very early on, Lena drove us to a viewpoint from which we had a great view of Kiruna at night. The whole evening was fantastic.

It was great. Our guide Lena was very nice and explained a lot to us. Because we could observe the Northern Lights very early on, she drove with us to a lookout point. From there you had a great view of the night city. That was great.

We booked this tour super last minute (our plans changed due to weather) and they went above and beyond to cater for us. The guide was fantastic, knew a lot about weather and showed us extra local things around the area with the clearest skies that night. Unfortunately we didn’t see the lights as that was just the weather, but it was still so worth it, our guide made it so special by taking us on a frozen lake, giving us facts on the local area and finding local wildlife, it was a lot of fun! Thanks guys!

The ticket said the tour starts at 9pm and they would pick us up at our hotel. They informed us after 8pm that pick-up was earlier. We missed them and although we called at 9pm they were not coming back. So no tour, really disappointing.

Unfortunately, our booked Northern Lights tour was not delivered. The pickup time was confirmed between 8:00 and 9:00 pm, but we did not receive any arrival notification during that time. Afterward, we were informed that the guide had already left. Communication before the tour was also very limited. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Explore Kiruna gave us a a phenomenal experience chasing the Northern Lights - We set off at 9pm from our hotel in the Old town of Kiruna heading NE past the Jukkasjarvi village and set up near a small lake. The experience was absolute awesome. The cost worth it for the 3 hours we were out - we stopped at 4 sites each offering a different view with Aurora transforming to magical colors of green, gold, reddish. Photo shows site with best views although the Aurora faded and emerged with time. Unforgettable

Very nice tour and friendly person! We did manage to see the northern lights; the guide knows the region and the best spots.

This was a great tour, Alex was a terrific guide and willing to help everyone with camera settings to capture the Northern lights. Upon pickup at our hotel he had hot tea waiting for us onboard his van. He was very conversational and answered any questions. He even took photos of us and everyone traveling and sent them to us afterwards. That was nice. The only criticism I had was the long walk (15 minutes in deep snow) to visit a spot he wanted to light a little fire at. I really don’t think that was needed as we had plenty of beautiful spots in between to capture amazing views. All in all we do plan on going with Alex again when we visit Kiruna and the ice hotel again.
