5.00We had rather suboptimal weather conditions and wanted to take the chance to see the Northern Lights. I wanted to make this experience possible for my parents. Thanks to the super nice WhatsApp support we still got places on the tour at short notice. The exchange was very nice. Thanks to our great guide we experienced a fantastic evening/night and saw indescribably beautiful Northern Lights. It was especially great that it was the night for my mum's birthday. They had the best birthday experience 💖
Great experience!

5.00Due to the clouds over Finland, we went to Sweden to view the lights. Aneeq has an excellent eye for spotting the lights while driving! He took some amazing photos of us as well. We are very pleased that we got him as our guide for the night.

5.00We booked the Levi Northern Lights tour, and the weather conditions in Finland were very poor. We spent 9 hours on the road, even crossed the border, and finally got to see the Northern Lights on our last day. Our guide, Lachin, was phenomenal. He did everything he could to make sure we would see them. He chose an excellent viewing spot, and suddenly the Northern Lights were dancing above us. He repeatedly stood outside in the freezing cold to keep watch for us and made several stops whenever his app predicted activity. Everything was perfectly organized—simply outstanding. Thank you!

5.00最高の経験でした！ 天気が曇りだったため、ロヴァニエミからスウェーデンまで車を走らせて、無事にオーロラを見ることができました！！！！！ こんな素晴らしいツアーはありません！本当におすすめです！ ジュリア、本当にありがとう！ It was the best experience ever! Since the weather was cloudy, we drove from Rovaniemi to Sweden and were able to see the Northern Lights successfully!!!!! There is no tour more amazing than this — I truly highly recommend it! Julia, thank you so much!
