Must do - Lovely experience, would recommend! Tour guide Lauren c. Had lots of knowledge and was very friendly and fun. We were not the only bus, 7 others joined the area, but it didn't feel too over crowded. Thank you!

We saw the lights but they were underwhelming - First of all, we spent almost 40 minutes waiting for the bus in the freezing cold as they want us there 30 minutes before the trip starts. The bus was late and we honestly thought they weren't coming to pick us up and almost gave up and went back to the hotel. That was the worst part of the tour for us. The tour guide Laura was very enthusiastic and the driver Jon very competent. We saw the lights, they were very active, but disappointingly the same colour as cloud. We felt the guide exaggerated how fabulous a spectacle it was. At £75 per person I think it's overpriced.
