Car was top notch, very comfortable. Our guide Michael, although not very talkative, was very nice, he was very determined and took us right where we need to be to see the lights and I really appreciated his skillful and prudent driving across frozen roads, I felt very safe with him driving us. It was a long road that spanned the entire night but it was rewarding. I am glad we started the trip even on full cloud coverage!”
