David was a very enthusiastic and attentive guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us photography tips. The sausages and marshmallows on the camp fire were a lovely touch. Would highly recommend. Definitely borrow the thermal suits! The photos provided by David were great too.

It was a cloudy night, the tour guide Margo worked very hard to find some Northern Light for us. She made more than 5 stops without any luck. However when everyone gave up and on our way back she finally found some; and everyone on the tour got the chance to take photos.

A wonderful tour that was a lot of fun: David was a very competent and very nice guide who takes great photos. The facilities were very good. At - 20 degrees it was good that we were able to warm up in between on the warm bus. But even around the campfire wrapped in blankets it was beautiful under the starry sky under a full moon. And then the Northern Lights!

We had an amazing trip, thanks to David and Arnt. We unfortunately did not see any proper Northern Lights, but you can’t preplan this. Still, both of our guides made absolutely the best out of our experience. They were insightful, kind and fun. They did everything they could, from changing locations to stopping on the way, to maximize our chances of seeing northern lights. We didn’t see any, but we learned a lot and saw some beautiful nature. Well done, we highly recommend to chose this tour and would do it again!

We also got tasty snacks and the fire going for warmth. The location was very beautiful and the aurora was breathtaking.

We were well looked after by Margot. She took great photos of us. We were lucky and saw amazing Northern lights that night. We were also given photos and time lapse video of what she took. Amazing images.

We ended up booking with them once more since they were soo good, definitely the best one out of all tours we took. Disclaimer, the nights we went with them the sky was clear fully so I can't comment on their clear sky finding ability but other than that they go above and beyond! In everything, food, pics, logistics, the hosting/guiding. Very hospitable, and the bathroom is actually insanely good. The best value for money in my opinion. Thanks again Margaux, you were amazing!

My friend and I went 3 nights in a row, the first night the lights were a bit shy but the second and third nights they showed up very strong, we could see with naked eyes, the first guide was David who was very friendly and kind, the second guide was Margo who was amazing, I loved the places she chose and the whole experience was just magical, it’s a small company that takes care of small groups which make it possible for them to take care of each person in the group, they were so attentive for every little details I’m so glad a friend who went on the same trip back in September recommended this company to us, it was flawless beyond perfection. Thank you for making our experience unforgettable

Had the most amazing time, David was so passionate and knowledgeable, also took some great photos! We saw beautiful northern lights, sat around a fire, had hot dogs, sweet treats and hot chocolates. David taught us all about the northern lights and took lots of pictures which he sent to us via email the next day. Would recommend to anyone going to Tromso.

From start to finish this tour was amazing. Well organised, greeted at the meeting point and given thermal suits, onto the comfortable minibus and off we went. We were so fortunate to get a great northern lights showing, the guide explains on the way how they choose their location each night, how the lights work and obviously they are experts as they chose a great location and we were the only ones there. We had plenty of time to see the lights, staff helped everyone with their cameras and phones to get the best setup, and also took their own photos of us and the lights to send to us for free. The bus heater was kept on so you can go and sit for a little while to warm up, and the bus has a live camera screen so you aren’t even missing the lights! Food was great, cook your own sausage on a roll, donuts, marshmallows, nice hot chocolate! There was even a toilet tent. Everything was thought of and staff were always happy to chat, helping with everything and checking to make sure we didn’t need anything, even making sure those warming up on the bus didn’t miss any food! The whole experience was so thoughtfully put together, the knowledge and passion of the guides, and the genuine feeling of care, even down to dropping us off right at our hotel at the end which they didn’t have to. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.
