Bucket list trip - Mother nature is in control of weather you see the northern lights or not. However a great guide like Margo and a wonderful safe driver like Martina navigated and I was able to witness the most beautiful aurora

Once in a lifetime experience! - Amazing Aurora watching tour. David is a great guide, He made sure we got comfortable at the cold night by providing us hot chocolate, delicious hot dog sandwiches, hot soup, and some blankets. He lit camp fire for us too. I was freezing cold, the blanket and fire really helped. while we were waiting for the activities, David even offered to take pictures for us for free and look around for any things happening. Can’t expect more. The best part, the magic happened at last, the aurora dance on the sky with colorful lights. It was incredible moments. We all screamed and ready for shooting this once in a lifetime photos. Wow, what an experience! Thanks David and his girlfriend( she was a great assistant for us) I love you and best wishes!

Most memorable experience! - Amazing experience! David was so passionate about giving us the best experience. Although weather wasn’t the best in Tromso, with his experience, he drove us to Finland. We saw beautiful Northern lights, ate hot dogs over the fire and Norwegian chocolate for dessert. David took some of the most wonderful pics of everyone in our small group.

Dream come true - Do you remember when you saw Christmas movies where they spent a lot of time in the polar circle? And you imagined being there to appreciate those amazing lights in the sky!?? Well it feels a dream to experience them from a real level, to enjoy with people from another culture and be guided by this magnificent team has been very rewarding to be able to live it, I greatly appreciate this experience and recommend it a thousand percent!!

Great tour - ✔️ Great guide - ✔️ Great light show - ✔️✔️✔️ - We always knew it would be up to mother nature if we saw the Northern Lights so tried to manage our expectations, but with our expert guides, Margo and her team, we were not only treated to the lights but we had a spectacular show. Margo clearly did her research and knew where to take us. We set up camp with a fire, warm drinks, and hot dogs and waited. It was cold, really really cold and I wished I had of taken the offer of the thermal suit because my thin Australian blood was not equipped for the type of cold I felt - lesson learned, but I persevered and we saw the Aurora in all its glory and got some great photos. A tick off the bucket list and we couldn't be happier with the tour we chose.

Amazing light show and great guides! - This was an amazing experience! We met at the Ami hotel where we could borrow thermal suits and boots. We set out in a minibus. It was clean and comfortable . Our guide was Margo who was knowledgeable and friendly. She went through the science of the Northern Lights, told us legend about the lights and talked about the Sami People. She set up a campfire where we roasted hot dogs and had hot drinks. A heated outhouse was set up. We were worried as it was rainy, hailing, windy, and cloudy. But Margo told us not to lose hope as she had done her research and took us to an area where the clouds were supposed to part. She was correct as we saw a fantastic light show! There are also tripods for us to borrow for phones or cameras. 100% recommended!

Amazing Northern Lights Experience - We highly recommend the Northern Lights Chase tour by Artic Circle Tours. They were going to drive to the Finish border, but we saw the aurora borealis within a couple of hours of driving away from the city of Tromso. After watching the northern lights dance in the night sky, they found a place to set up chairs around a fire and gave us blankets to warm us up. We roasted some hot dogs and were served hot drinks. Our tour guide is a professional photographer, so he captured the moments and shared all the photos with us after the tour. It was an amazing experience!

Highly Recommend. Amazing Experience, Amazing Company, Amazing Staff. - This experience is like no other. This is a must. This company was amazing. Very tailored to a small group, the tour guide would explain about everything and the experience along the way was amazing. They were very attentive, made the whole experience better and better. They care a lot about everyone enjoying the experience and ensure that everyone is comfortable. You get the best package here. You get a scenic drive, some history, a lot of snacks, chocolates, marshmellows, sausages, drinks, overall great, they even have a bonfire ready for you to feel cozy goving the cold outside it is truly appreciated, and a porter potty with even a warmer for you! Not all companies do this. That means that you dont have to freeze and pee in a corner or hold it in for 7 hours. To add to this they take their time to show you how to use your camera and even take photos for you. We drove to Finland because that is where the clear skies were and they did everything to find the aurora and we did! It was spectacular! We will definitely use this company again and our tour guide David just made the whole experience 11/10! Great company, great staff!

Good tour but quite challenging. - We traveled 3hrs to find the lights, got home at 3am. Team worked hard. ‘Meal’ was do-minimum hot dogs warmed over the fire. It was bitterly cold. Lights are difficult to see with human eyes so slightly disappointing.
