5.00Gabriele, Jonathan and our bus driver Christoper were a great team that guided us to a spectacular night of Northern Lights, despite a forecast of clouds. We appreciated the excellent commentary. It was the first of more than a half dozen tours we’ve taken here, in Yellowknife, Canada and in Alaska where the guide explained camera settings. Gabriele also told us charming stories about how earlier peoples interpreted the lights, including as an activity related to Arctic foxes. She took excellent photos and served delicious hot chocolate that was not the usual watery Swiss Miss. The bus was comfortable and had a small restroom, which we greatly appreciated. We assumed a bus trip would not be as good as a small group tour in a van, but it was.
Excellent

5.00Gabriela and Jonathan were great tour guide who shared a lot of fun facts. The journey started on a super cloudy night, but they chose a great spot to settle down. Later in the evening, the skies cleared and we were able to see some great northern lights. Thanks for Christopher as well, great bus driver; we felt very safe.

5.00It was an amazing experience!!! The weather was very bad when the tour started (it bad rainy a lot), but our guide and driver did a very good job to find a place where it was clear and the aftermath was beautiful!!! We saw amazing northern lights! The guide was also well prepared, he knew everything about northern lights: the physics behind, how to chase it, were to see it and how to photograph it! Also he took amazing pictures of us with the northern lights. At the end there is also hot chocolate and cookies! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you for the amazing tour.
The Northern Lights from Tromsø were amazing.

5.00The number of people was small and basically comfortable. I guess it's because of the date, but it's better to have fewer people than to get around in a big bus. Also, the long travel time is no help, but I was very happy because I was able to visit a couple of places.
Something unmissable!

5.00Very 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!
