Great experience! - This was the second try to see the Northern lights. The first company with who we booked to see the Aurora only drove for 30 min from Rovaniemi to a place where we made a fire and we eat sausages and marshmallows and we waited for the Aurora to show up. But never happened:( With this guys instead the magic happened !! ⭐️They are trying their best to make our wish come true ! Thanks to Arthur we managed to see the Northern lights! ♥️He drove from Rovaniemi up in the north, near the Russian border where the sky was clear. Arthur was kind and patient and took as a lot of great pictures, despite the cold weather outside. The car was spacious and seats were comfortable which made the journey enjoyable . Thank you for this beautiful experience!

Aurora Hunting Indeed - A huge thank you to Arthur, our incredible guide for this tour! He drove us three hours north to find the perfect spot to see the Aurora Lights, and his determination and effort truly made all the difference. Arthur ensured we were in an ideal location with clear skies and high solar activity, showing how much he genuinely cared about giving us the best experience possible. This was our second attempt at seeing the Northern Lights during our trip, as our first tour left us disappointed. Thankfully, we didn't give up and booked this tour, which completely exceeded our expectations. Before leaving Lapland, we were treated to the breathtaking magic of the Northern Lights—an absolute highlight of our trip. Arthur made the experience even more special by capturing plenty of photos and creating such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. We're so grateful for his dedication and professionalism in making this unforgettable moment happen. Thank you, Arthur!

A true aurora chasing night - When I saw the title unlimited time and mileage, I was still thinking how long will the tour takes. We left at 7pm from our hotel and back only at 5am! David definitely is an amazing guide, his passion to find the light and time he is willing to spend to make sure we see one is truly remarkable! Thanks for driving us around and making sure we met our objectives of coming to Finland. We were really excited that we could see the auroa more than once that night.

"Great Northern Lights, but Needs Improvement in Service Quality" - Hello, I would like to extend my gratitude to the company for organizing an intriguing tour. We were truly delighted to witness the northern lights, and it was an unforgettable experience. However, I would like to bring a few important points to your attention, which I hope you will address promptly: Vehicle Condition: The car provided for the tour was an old Mercedes that was not cleaned beforehand. The floor was covered in snow and ice, and, most importantly, the heating system did not function properly! The driver had the defrost on for the windshield and used the seat warmer, but the interior of the car was extremely cold. At one point, the heater stopped working entirely for about an hour, leaving everyone freezing. As a result, we all ended up getting sick. Photography Service: If you advertise photography as part of your service, please ensure your staff is adequately trained. All the photos taken were blurry, and the edges of the frames were cut off, especially when people were in the shot. Ironically, the photos taken on our phones turned out much better! Hot Beverages: If you claim to provide hot coffee and tea, please make sure they are actually hot. As someone who frequently uses a thermos, I can confidently say that the drinks had cooled down because they were prepared too far in advance. This made it impossible to warm up with the beverages as intended. Driver’s Behavior: Dear driver, if you are reading this, please take note. While you appear very young, it is crucial that you stop using your phone while driving. Initially, you were in a chat to locate the northern lights, but on the way back, you were constantly texting via SMS. This led to dangerous driving behaviors, such as crossing into oncoming traffic, overtaking on double solid lines, speeding, and continuous distraction from texting. There are no accidental accidents—only the consequences of one’s actions. With all that said, I sincerely hope you take this feedback constructively and make the necessary improvements to your service. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to seeing positive changes in the future!

A wasted tour - We did the tour and all was good and we were told that they will share all the photos and videos after 3 days. After 3 days we received a message saying that the memory card was broken and hence they are trying to fix the problem. After a week we received a couple of photos and the most memorable photos and videos were missing. What a sad ending.

SCAM - SCAM. They take photos of the lights through there high tech cameras you dont see them at all. Pitch black sky when we went and the guy said they where out we just have to look through our phones. This is not what i paid €350. All the pics are edited. Travelled ours to see nothing at all. Never offered us food or drink even though its apart of the package. I want a refund. Do not fall for this scam. Its fake. I have videos of the black sky then zoomed in on the guys camera which shows a green mist.
