These guides coordinate with one another and take to far away places from Tromso where skies are clearer. We did the get the lights and it was visible by naked eye with full colours.

We didn’t see any northern lights, which, while a natural phenomenon, can often be predicted in advance using tools like the KP index and other forecasting resources. Given this, the company knew ahead of time that the chances were extremely low (as they told us during the tour how you can tell whether or not there'll be northern lights). Instead of proceeding with the tour, they should have canceled it and issued refunds rather than taking us on a long, pointless bus ride. It felt like a cash grab rather than an honest experience—so disappointing!
