It was a great experience especially with our guide (I don't remember his name). He was funny, interactive, and a lovely person to be around. I enjoyed a lot with him. He put so much effort into showing us some Aurora borealis even though it wasn't the ideal day, but he did it anyway. We are very happy about our experience. Highly recommended.

Great experience. A very friendly and attentive guide/driver. We were lucky with the weather and Aurora was strong. We did not go to the arctic circle. People who went and then joined us at the Aurora viewing location seemed tired. It was after 11pm. So, maybe both activities in one day are too much for some.

Avery memorable day traveling to the Arctic Circle and the unique experience, chasing the Northern Lights. Our travel guy Judah makes our experience the best. From the beginning of the tour until the end he gave us a learning day. Multiple stops on the way enhance our experience over and over. I highly recommends this tour and definitely Judah is the guy to go and experience the best.
