We had clouds and rain for the most of the day in Tromsø. Our guide, Tor, was very knowledgeable and drove us for a long way to find clear sky, where we could see the northern lights.
It was interesting to listen to stories about Sami's life, his childhood memories.
It was a great experience. I hope, I visit Tromsø in winter and I will definitely choose this trip with Tor again.
Highly recommend.

So Nice We Booked It Twice!
Back again with a review of our second tour with Arctic Aurora Tours with TJ (a Sámi guide). Our second evening was just as enjoyable as the first. We learned even more about Sámi life, the Northern Lights, and Norway. TJ took our group as far as Finland to find clear skies and we got to see the lights on a night that was rainy and cloudy in Tromso. His photos of us with the lights turned out better than any of the other tours we took. We're so happy that we were able to get another tour with him before leaving Norway. We cannot recommend this company enough. 5/5 stars from repeat customers. Thank you again TJ! You're an amazing guide!

Stop Searching & Book Now
We had 5 different services for Northern Lights guided tours during our visit to Tromso, and this was absolutely the best. We even booked with TJ a second time for our final night. TJ is the safest driver of all our tours. He adds a rich cultural element to the experience, and you'll even have a few laughs. He is a great guide who knows the best spots to view the lights. He plans in advance based on conditions to improve your chances of seeing the lights. The experience isn't rushed and is definitely worth the money. The tour is a small group which offers the most flexibility for locations. Don't waste your time with copycats, book this tour. You'll be glad you did. 5/5 stars! Thank you TJ for an amazing tour!

Great Time!
It was a great experience! Our guide, Tor, was very informative and really looked for a good place to see the aurora since it was very cloudy. He found a great spot and while waiting for the lights to appear, we had hot chocolate drinks (one of the choices) and cooked deer sausages (he has beef and vegetarian sausages available too) over the bonfire.
We had a great time listening to his Sami stories during his younger days and taking pictures of the aurora as it appears over the horizon.

We had a great time on this tour! It was raining on the night of our tour so we weren’t very optimistic on our chances of seeing the lights, but our guide Tor was very experienced and knew where to take us even with bad weather conditions. We ended up at a wonderful spot full of stars once the weather cleared up and were blessed with a spectacular display of the northern lights. During the entire journey Tor was very informative and kept us engaged with talks on Sami culture. Would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing first experience with tour guide Tor Sámi
Tor Sara was an amazing and experienced guide. Also shared his precious experience as a Sámi!! We were so lucky to have one of the best spots to see the lights, even on a cloudy night!!

Disappointing service and effort to see the Lights
I had two trips with this company and the rating reflects the second trip mainly. First trip with Tor was informative but he didn't go into Finland where the lights had been sighted. Booked a second trip where Espen was the guide and this was really poor. There was no storytelling, no photography assistance- little of what had been promised on the trip. He threw the chairs and implements for cooking on the ground for us to pick up ourselves. One person is insufficient to help a bus full of guests- but then it appeared he'd given up pretty early in the trip and had decided to refund us- as if this would compensate for a disappointing trip to Norway because they weren't willing to travel that extra distance to see what many people have as their main reason to visit at this time of year. He would not go to Finland where again the lights had been found that night and the previous night. They stated they had cameras to see where aurora activity it taking place but I got the impression this was over a small area, which they didn't want to leave to search further afield.. This was two failed attempts on nights when the lights had been spotted elsewhere. Maybe they don't have the contacts. I wouldn't risk going with this company unless you have back ups on other nights because the service is variable, and you may fail in your trip objective if you get the wrong guide, and he is having an 'off day'. There are other reviews which I saw after taking my trip which reflect the same occurrences.
