The night I spent with Tariq became a truly unforgettable memory. You took me to a place with good weather to see the aurora, and we saw the best view. The hot dogs we ate around the bonfire were also the best. Thank you for a wonderful night, Tariq!
First and foremost I want to thank Tarik for the amazing experience. A friendly guy that knew exactly where to take us. Then he made us food on the campfire and gave us marshmallows to grill too!
Amazing Northern Lights tour! We had a fantastic evening and saw an incredible Northern Lights display
A really nice tour with our guide! He drove us to the Finnish border to see the Northern Lights, since the weather in Tromsø was very bad.
What an absolute spectacular trip. We drove away from the city to have a clearer view away from the citylights. And what we saw were truly amazing. I will never forget the way the northern lights were dancing right above us💚
Talik was a great guide, he took us northwards and found clear skies; the Aurora show was spectacular. Hot dogs on the fire, too! Great photos, great trip !
I want to thank Geid for a wonderful trip in Tromsø. The whole experience was unforgettable – from the beautiful nature to the friendly and warm atmosphere. The trip was recommended by a friend who visited Tromsø earlier this year, and I’m so happy I followed their advice. Geid was in a great mood, very kind, and made sure we had a good time. I highly recommend this trip to everyone – an experience you will never forget!
