A very well organized activity with a real search for the Northern Lights. The guide was motivated, patient and ready to move to maximize our chances. He took us back to Sweden to see the lights. The atmosphere was friendly and the experience really magical. I recommend without hesitation to live the aurora in good conditions.
Our guide did his best to find the northern lights. Expect to stay up until 3am. We were picked up 8:40 and started our quest. We found a good place to look at them around 1pm
This tour was such a refreshing experience. It was authentic and well-paced without feeling hurried or touristic. We went to several locations before we eventually caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights, and it was an experience we will never forget. Bravo to our guide, Artictopia, who is calm, extremely knowledgeable, and obviously passionate about what he does. Everything from the beginning to the end was organized. If you're in Rovaniemi and want a genuine Northern Lights experience, Highly recommend the tour
Thank you so much for your kind review! 🙏 I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and that we could share such a memorable Northern Lights experience together. Hope to welcome you again in Rovaniemi!
The experience was fine. Our guide tried his best to find a clear sky so we could see the Northern Lights. The tour price was quite expensive compared to other similar tours that I found later at the hotel. There was another couple in the same tour and they paid less than half of what we paid, which was quite unfair.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad to hear that you appreciated our effort in chasing clear skies to give you the best possible chance to see the Northern Lights. 🙏 Regarding the price, I understand your concern. Our tours are priced to reflect small group sizes, personalized guiding, high-quality equipment, and the extra effort we make (such as driving long distances if needed) to maximize your chances of success. Sometimes different guests join through various booking platforms with different promotions, which may explain the difference you noticed. Still, I truly value your comments, as they help us improve and make our experiences even better in the future. I hope you will remember the night as a special Arctic adventure and that we may welcome you again someday.
Fantastic experience! Thanks to the very friendly guide Dimiter. He is a person of his word, totally trustworthy. He responded to my enquiries promptly, and he WILL call back at the time he said he would. He’s very patient and customer oriented, hunting down the best spot for aurora. Initially we drove to a nearby lake where lots of tours were. But he drove us to a better more remote place to chase better aurora chance. We saw splendid aurora explosion! Magical experience! He was very patient to take pictures for everyone in the group. Absolutely recommended!
We had to switch day at short notice. Very flexible and understanding. Although is was unexpectedly cloudy the night of the excursion, our guide managed to get us to a spot to see the Northern Lights.
Excellent experience. I was positively surprised by the guide himself, the guide took us 200 km north to Sweden to ensure clear, cloudless skies. We saw the Northern Lights, but their activity was low, the guide had no influence on that. I recommend it because I have never experienced someone going to such lengths to meet the expectations of a tourist.
I asked What is the different of 'Northern Lights Hunting tour with professional camera' and 'Aurora tour from Rovaniemi-Unlimited Mileage-Professional camera' on 12-01-2025 and was replayed that 'Aurora tour from Rovaniemi-Unlimited Mileage-Professional camera' , will drive further to see the aurora. However, my family just packed with the people joined the tour 'Northern Lights Hunting tour with professional camera' . That means they are the same and the tour only lasted for three hours( including the travel time).
It was a great trip! The guide was very friendly and professional and we managed to see the polars. The guide took wonderful pictures of us with his camera where the aurora borealis can be seen very clearly and we got tea to warm up. Thank you Mitko!! We will definitely come back.
