5.00Amazing experience! He didn’t give up until we were able to see the northern lights and for that he traveled hours and long kilometers while we were cozy in the car. We even saw wild reindeers! He took pictures of us and then he offered us hot tea and biscuits. It was a real treat! Thank you so much

5.00This tour was wonderful and we did get to see the auroras. Moreover he worked to find areas to see the auroras and succeeded and took lots of amazing photos of us with the lights in the background. He also gave a lot of interesting facts about them. This was a tour with this company that was well worth it.Thankyou

5.00I really recommend the tour because it is great for both the personality of the guide and the tour content. We were able to contact them in advance via the What's app, and they responded quickly, giving us peace of mind before the tour. The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice and they try their best to give you unforgettable moments... It was a truly amazing experience that I will never forget. I was happy to see so many photos taken, one by one, as a group. Also, one of my friends dropped a bag of valuables at the final point, and they took about an hour to get back to the point and look for the bag together, and I am really grateful that they found it safe. He was a lovely guide, smiling and kind all the way, even though it was much later than the scheduled end time.

5.00In February visited Rovaniemi, Finland, with the dream of seeing the Northern Lights, and thanks to our amazing guide Dimitar, that dream came true! I had a mini panic before the trip when the forecast didn’t look promising, so I reached out to the tour company last-minute. Dimitar immediately reassured us and even adjusted our tour from Saturday to Friday based on his intuition and experience which ended up being the right call. Our group ended up driving two hours across the border into Sweden to find clear skies, and just when we thought all hope was lost… the aurora appeared! It was absolutely magical. We were surrounded by stars with zero light pollution it was amazing!!! Dimitar went above and beyond to make this experience happen, and I’m so grateful for his effort, positivity, and dedication. He truly made us feel safe and taken care of every step of the way. Couldn’t recommend this tour (and Dimitar!) more highly.
Effective tour with an expert guide

5.00Great northern lights tour! Meeting time and place were communicated via WhatsApp so there was no confusion. Our guide was great picked us up and dropped us off steps from our room. The weather was cloudy but he made sure we would see the lights. We drove to Sweden which was a fun surprise and had an amazing show! He took pictures of us throughout the night. The tour was small only 2 others so it felt very personal and we were able to choose different decisions throughout the night. Tea and cookies were a nice touch. It was clear the guide was an expert and taught us all about the parameters needed to see the lights. 5 stars!
