TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

by odonnellkaren
Outstanding tour and tour guide Noi. Pick up was well organised, information was great. The bus was comfortable. Throughout the Noi kept us entertained with his amazing knowledge and fantastic stories! His enthusiasm was infectious and he was fun and helpful throughout. The hot chocolate was an added bonus and was delicious. I highly recommend this tour and the guide! And we were lucky enough to see the lights with the naked eye and through the clouds and rain! Spectacular!

Zack was excellent. 30 minutes out of city, great location, he continually updated us of the activity and the show did not disappoint. It was amazing.

Fantastic experience, nothing was too much trouble for Karol our driver, he navigated to where the lights could be seen the best and took some lovely photographs, the hot chocolate and sweets were a nice treat! All in all a great experience!
by Sean S
We had the perfect evening with our driver/host Odi. We was very knowledgeable and told us loads of interesting facts and myths connected to Aurora. He recognised quite early into the trip that the light show had started, so we stopped at the first opportunity. We were so lucky to see the lights for at least an hour. Odi decided that we should stay where we were rather than travel any further and we were rewarded with a magical show.

It was a wonderful experience! Thanks to Ritchie and Robert for all the enthusiasm and extra stops they made for us to ensure that we are able to witness the northern lights. Beautifully crafted list of recommendations and tips.
