I was very impressed with... - I was very impressed with our guide's experience and dedication to find the Northern Lights. He was very knowledgable about the auroras, and though the car ride to find the lights was very long (we drove to Sweden!), it was very comfortable and totally worth it! Me and my friend also had a little nap in the car because we didn't come back until 4:00am haha. Though the trip may get pushed back due to how the aurora activity is, it was not a bother because we still saw the Northern Lights, which was amazing as the forecast did not look good. I think going in, it is good to consider what the auroras look like to the naked eye, so that one's expectations are realistic. Of course, they look great on camera and our guide had a tripod and sent us the photos later! Overall, I would recommend this experience : )

Amazing Experience with a Customer-Focused Aurora Tour! - We absolutely loved this tour! We were specifically looking for a smaller company to avoid the “barbecue-style” group outings, and this was exactly what we hoped for. The team was truly focused on customer satisfaction, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. They were incredibly flexible, even offering to change the date if the weather wasn’t ideal and adjusting the timing to give us the best chance of seeing the auroras. And wow, did it pay off! We were treated to breathtaking displays, and they took stunning photos of us with the auroras as a backdrop. Highly recommend! 🌌✨

Magnificent experience - It was a cloudy day but the weather forecast said the clouds would be gone after 10. The tour started at 10:30 and we could see the beautiful aurora. It was truly an amazing experience. Thank you for the wonderful spots and photos u took us! Happy New Year

Amazing experience - The night was truly amazing. Our guide Božo was very knowledgeable, he thought us many interesting things about Aurora. But also he knew good spots and he was constantly communicating with other guides who were out that night to ensure that we catch Aurora. We ended up finding perfect spot and getting big Aurora storm. Plus he was patient taking many pictures for everyone. Truly magical experience that we will never forget.

Magical experience - This night was magical. Dimitar picked us up at home and even adjusted the hunting time twice to get the most of the aurora experience. He took lots of photos of us and the auroras and was really passionate himself. He adapted the whole route to our needs and brought tee and cookies with him. He drove us to three different spots in the local area (driving was about 20-40 min). There never is a guarantee to spot the auroras, but we would always take that risk with Dimitar as a guide again. It was such a great trip.

Amazing northern light display to end 2024 - Had the most amazing experience seeing out 2024 with an amazing Northern lights display, even our guide was quite excited. I guess we were very fortunate. Should you choose to book with them, I hope you have an amazing experience.

Good tour - does exactly what it says it on the tin! - Having done a few Northern Lights Tours in other countries, we sort of knew what to expect. Our guide messaged us a few hours before our pick up time to say the light activity was low and we would be collected an hour later which we were happy with. We were also informed that we may have to drive to Sweden to see them so to bring our passports. We were collected on time and our group only had two more people in. The small tours really are worth the extra money! After driving for an hour or so we stopped at the first spot and had no luck so we tried a few more spots before driving to Sweden. We were told by the guide that the forecast was now lower than expected and we may struggled to see them. We stopped at the side of the road in Sweden for some fresh air and after about 10 minutes we notices the lights coming through. The guide quickly set us his camera and we were able to get some decent pictures. Obviously this is all down to chance, noone is guaranteed to see them and anyone who thinks they are needs to recobsider going on these sorts of trips. Once we got our photos we headed back to the city which took around 2.5 hours. Overall, we would recommend this company. Their communication was good, they were punctual and they did try their best. The only downside was we didn't feel like it was as friendly atmosphere as we have felt in other countries. A little bit more information whilst we were driving would have been nice to kill some time.

Holidays - The guide was super friendly and took many pictures of us. We waited bus we could see what. Unfortunately Aurora's activity was very weak that day so we only saw it very slightly green in photos.

NOT guaranteed - Bad Idea - we wanted to have a guaranteed experience and photo of the northern lights...so we booked this rare experience. we started with 7pm and ended past 12midnight...two families. The other family had small children while we were just 3 with and adult child. we didn't see the northern lights. we just wasted $319USD. no further explanation needed.
