We had a fantastic time with this tour! Lea and Marina were very kind and explained a lot about the lights and thankfully we were lucky to see the northern lights in all of its glory. They even took some nice photos of us as promised. Very satisfied! :)

Very nice experience with good organisation! We had to join the German group because it was the only one still available but the guide did everything possible to include also the non-german speaking people in the explanations of the activities of the night. Both Marina and Lea were really nice, giving advices to set the phone's cameras and very kind doing picture of everyone!

We had two tour guide. Together, they explained the history of belief in Northern Lights from different ethic backgrounds and the science of Northern Lights very well. I highly recommend this tour.

We chased the Northern Lights inland when they were in Tromso and the guides refused to return us in Tromso for a chance to see the aurora there.

For my holiday in Tromso I booked 3 tours with Arctic Guide Service and I have no regrets. I was well informed and felt well advised. The reindeer tour was great and so was the Northern Lights tour. Big thanks to Jargo, who provided good atmosphere and great pictures during the tour. Unfortunately, the whale tour had to be cancelled because the weather conditions at sea were simply too bad and no whales were visible anymore. But an alternative fjord tour was offered, which was also very nice. Again, the guide Hadrian was very friendly and gave everything to make it a nice experience. I am very happy with the service and will definitely book there again. Thanks for the great experiences.

Great tour, informative. Not highest lights activity and clouds on the night we went but cannot take away from organisers, trying different spots. We enjoyed it, saw lights with naked eyes and would recommend.

The experience was super great! The first time I saw the aurora, the guide's instructions were fun and would help with the photos. Hot chocolate, biscuits and tea were also delicious, even better if I could see them in both locations (for natural reasons, unavoidable)
