5.00Raul was wonderful. It was cloudy in Alta and he drove us inland to hopefully find clearer sky. We stopped at a few different spots and did manage to find some activity. The small group of 10 was perfect. Raul took pictures of us with the lights in the background. He was always concerned about our warmth. A short stop to warm up with a drink and snack. We were on the cruise ship which the shuttle service ended earlier than our return. I contacted Viator and they reached out to the tour operator and said they could drop us off at the ship. I would highly recommend this tour.
Fun!

5.00Great experience, had Raul a really experienced tour guide who was friendly and an expert at finding the northern lights for us! Had a lovely little group. Worth paying for if you’re in a short trip and won’t get much chance to see the lights yourself as you have a much better chance with a proper guide!
