The guide will provide you with information about camera settings and helpful tips, so when the lights appear you can capture the perfect Northern Lights picture.

Worst company to book tour

Worst company to book with. Save your money and time. This company had cancelled our trip and we were not even notified. We were waiting at pick up point and no one showed up. No one showed up to pick us up from the meeting point so I gave them a call and they said tour is cancelled. Tour time was at 6:30 pm and we found out our tour is cancelled at 6:35 pm. It was very hard to find another tour with different company since it was a closing time for most of the company. I wish I could give a negative star to Artic Service Guide. Thanks to viator they gave us a refund right away after calling them.

They switched us to a tour with a bilingual Spanish-English guide. There were six of us on the bus, three of whom didn't speak Spanish, and the other six of us had purchased the tour in Spanish. The guide refused to speak Spanish, despite being the majority. Her attitude was dismissive, and she decided not to answer our questions in Spanish. She was only available for two people.

What an absolutely fabulous trip. Thank you Kira and Bjorn for the best evening ever. We saw the Northern Lights in 3 different areas. When the cloud cover came, Bjorn drove us to a different destination, Kiran pointed out what we were looking for and how to take our own photos, combined with the photos Kira took, all in all, an excellent tour and the best birthday ever! Kira also kept us entertained with stories of Norway and the tales of different countries as to why the Northern Lights exist. Very entertaining tour, would do it again in a heartbeat!

The organisation was not perfect, we were given two different meeting points, distancing about 300 mts and the bus arrived at the very last minute. At the end we found them and we left to chase the northern lights.

The guide gave us a tour of the different spots around Kvaløya and it was absolutely unforgettable. We visited stunning viewpoints and beautiful natural landscapes that we would never have found on our own. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tromsø! Thanks Pedro & Muhamad!

The guide found the Northern Lights for us! He found the little bit of clear sky in an area that was pretty cloudy! He also explained everything we could want to know about N lights and how to set your camera for the best photos.. Cookies and hot chocolate were available and a bathroom on board the bus.
