Did this tour with George..he worked with his team to take us to the best viewing spots for the night. Drove close to 5 hours..took our photographs with the northern lights, thoughtfully provided us with hot drinks and cake, portablechairs to sit on and lit a small bonfire as the night got colder. Had a very good viewing
He was patient..answered all our queries, knowledgeable and experienced.
Would recommend this 100%

This is an excellent tour...
This is an excellent tour but you need to know that it will likely go overtime. We left at 6pm and returned just after 1am.
There is a lot of driving as the guide looks for the best places to stop. It was completely worth it as we saw the most incredible skies that night!
Our guide, Jan, was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and professional and did not give up until he found us the best location.
Transportation was comfortable and the cake, coffee and tea around the camp fire was a nice added touch.

Disappointing Experience
We booked this tour last minute after cancellation of our original excursion with another company (apparently a technical error), so we were happy they could accommodate us. We liked the idea of a small group and going in a van, rather than a big bus. However, the entire excursion was disappointing. First, the driver was about 20 minutes late for pick up; we only knew because one person who had been scheduled on cancelled tour the night before had his number and contacted him. The seats in the van were cramped. The guide barely provided any information and barely interacted with the group. He kept saying he was waiting for info from other guides to see where to go. The "chase" consisted of only two stops, waiting a long time at each, as well as a rest stop at a crowded Circle K with a line-up for the bathroom and cashier. Although the sky was clear, the Northern Lights were hardly visible through the camera and only for a brief time. Despite the description of the tour, we were not offered the winter gear to wear, and we did not have a campfire; I heard the guide ask one of the 15 passengers if they wanted a fire, but he didn't ask anyone else. He offered a hot drink and loaf of cake as we were standing around the van waiting for the lights. The guide was nice enough to take a photo of each passenger, with (supposedly) the Northern Lights in the background; to us, it looks like the lights were done with AI since they were the same in the photo of each passenger, and much brighter/greener than what we observed. Tour returned at 1:30 am. Honestly, it paled by a long shot compared to the Northern Lights tour we took in Iceland.

JAN Made it possible
Jan was one the best northern light guides ever. He consulted many forecast at the same time to maximize
the chances of seeing north lights. Weather conditions were awful but due to his knowledge of the weather and his pursue we were able to reach an amazing spot to view northern lights. He was all the time making sure everyone was feeling amazing. He took great pictures plus his stories are incredible. He really made the experience worth it. 10/10 he is the best and this company is the best

A mixed bag
Positives
- Guide was on time, very approachable and did his best to find the right spots to see the Northern Lights
Negatives
Tour Description and Information
- Says “small group” tour in 8 seat mini van. There were 16 passengers.
- Says thermal suits available but the guide never mentioned it
- Says “on board wi fi” to share photos. There was either no wi fi or the guide forgot to mention it.
- There is no toilet opportunity. The guide just said to go out into the dark to relieve yourself.
- The tour description refers to “after dinner”. There is no mention of anything food or drink related until we stopped about 4.5 hours after started for the guide to set up a camp fire, and hand out packet cakes and tea/coffee.
Overall, we saw what we came to see, which was great. However, the tour description and/or guide need to ACCURATELY describe all the details of the tour.

Great host/driver, comfortable bus, elusive northern lights
The weather was not really in our favour for seeing the northern lights but our driver/host/northern lights enthusiast worked so hard to chase and deliver an entertaining night. Daniel was a very friendly host and very knowledgeable on the northern lights which kept us entertained as he drove for hours doing his best to chase the elusive lights. He was a great communicator, letting us know when our next stop would be and for how long, where we were heading next and why and the bus was very comfortable. Even though we had multiple stops at services, there were also snacks on board so that we didn't go hungry on such a late night or chasing. It took until midnight for us to see a small display of the lights and then we had a 2 hr drive back to Tromso where Daniel kindly dropped us at our individual accommodations. You can't do much about the weather but Daniel did everything possible to make for a great night and memorable chase. Would recommend this tour.

Northern lights tour
Erica and Nelson brought us out into the Norwegian wilderness to find the northern lights and we were lucky enough to see them. Worth every penny! We spent about 6 hours on this experience. It was a smaller group so it was a more personal feeling. I would highly recommend doing this if you are in Tromsø

Above and Beyond—Alen Made KP1 Worth It
We joined three different aurora tours during our stay in Tromsø, and our tour with Alen stood out as one of the best. Forecasts had initially suggested KP 4 activity, but it dropped to KP 1 just an hour before the tour started, which likely explains why the tour was delayed and began at 8PM.
Despite the less favorable conditions, Alen made the effort to drive us deep into Finland to avoid cloud cover, and we were still rewarded with clear views and photos of a KP1 aurora. His dedication really made the difference.
He ensured everyone was comfortable throughout, and even after a long night, dropped us back at the hotel slightly after 4AM. The tea was a thoughtful touch, and the Mesterbakeren blueberry pound cake—though simple—was surprisingly enjoyable.
Overall, a very well-run experience. Alen is a capable and committed guide, and we would definitely recommend this tour.
