“The tour was great and well organised, pick-up location is in the city centre which was a 2 minute walk from my apartment. The BBQ included- reindeer sausages or corn and marshmallows and ginger cookies, they also provided hot juice. We had a clear night but the aurora activity was looking low, however we waited and managed to see and capture the northern lights. The photographer did a great job capturing memories for everyone. We definitely stayed longer than advertised which ensured everyone got photos. The price was great, and the tour guides are very friendly thanks to Irene, Simona and Alex. Special thanks to Eva for capturing our memories…”

The experience closed with a very good sausage roasted on the fire and hot beverage in a cabin in the wood. Thank you all for this unforgettable night!!

That made the scenery even more magical! After that, we went to a different place where we saw the phenomenon in its greatness. The lights were upon our heads, extremely bright and dancing! Many thanks to our great guide, Roman! He really knew where and when to go and we think we saw what we saw because of his experience. He also explained us everything about the northern lights and last but not least he took…”
