be patient - Our group of eleven Chinese participants registered for this aurora program, which has left a deep impression on me. Despite the terrible weather that day, with rain and snow throughout the daytime, we proceeded anyway. At the hotel reception, I encountered Mayo, who patiently addressed my inquiries regarding the prospects of witnessing the northern lights that night. She displayed various weather cloud charts for different times later that evening and instilled confidence in me, stating that if we could reach a spot free from cloud obstruction, there was a possibility of observing the aurora. Her encouragement persuaded me to sign up for the tour.
Though our hopes were nearly dashed by the heavy snowfall in the city that night, things took a turn for the better upon meeting our guide, Kirstin. Her enthusiasm and profound knowledge made the journey both informative and delightful. She guided us to an excellent location where we built a warm campfire. Around the fire, we shared a fabulous dinner. Right after dinner, as if by magic, the northern lights appeared just as we had wished. Kirstin was very patient, assisting us in taking photos during an amazing aurora display. Everyone was overjoyed beyond expression.
Thanks to Mayo’s patience and Kirstin’s professionalism, we had an unforgettable travel experience. A heartfelt thank you to both of them!
我们一行十一人参加了这次极光之旅，这段经历给我留下了深刻的印象。那天的天气非常糟糕，从早到晚都在下雨夹雪，但我们还是决定继续前行。在酒店前台，我遇到了Mayo，她耐心地解答了我关于当晚观赏北极光可能性的问题，并展示了当天晚上不同时段的天气云图，让我对前往无云遮挡的地方观测极光充满了信心。她的鼓励最终促使我报名参加了这个团。
尽管出发时大雪纷飞，几乎让我们失去了希望，但当我们遇到向导克里斯汀后，整个旅程开始变得充满期待。克里斯汀的热情和丰富的知识让这次旅行既充实又愉快。她带领我们找到了一个绝佳的观测点，在那里我们点燃了一堆温暖的篝火，围坐在一起享用了丰盛的晚餐。令人惊喜的是，晚餐过后，就像变魔术一样，美丽的极光如期而至。克里斯汀非常有耐心地帮我们拍照，记录下了这壮观的一幕。大家看到如此绚丽的极光都感到无比兴奋。
正是因为梅奥的耐心指导和克里斯汀的专业服务，才让我们拥有了一次难忘的旅行体验。真心感谢她们两位的付出！

Cozy fire and nice... - Cozy fire and nice snacks/reindeer stew; haven't figured out how to see the pictures yet, but it was a really nice night. There was a 1:30 a.m. curfew, which showed that the company had the staff's rights in mind (and/or that they didn't want to pay overtime?), but we went all the way to the Finnish border and waited for a long time for the lights. Saw a bit of green and a baby moose on the road!

Highlight of our hunt for auroras - The minute David introduced himself and described his obsession of hunting auroras, we knew we had the right guide. It was no surprise that he maintained his >90% hit rate with us: we were treated to an unreal show of dancing lights that seemed to go on forever. This is someone who goes above and beyond and truly wants to share his love for chasing auroras, teaching us everything from the right apps to download and tricks and hacks on our phones and cameras. Thank you for the absolute highlight of our vacation!

An amazing night out to see Northern Lights - My family and I came to Tromso with our main objective to chase for the Northern Lights. We were thankful that we joined the tour with an amazing tour guide Pedro. He was knowledgeable about how to search for the best location.
The night started with a campfire with some hot reindeer stew, thereafter he kept looking out in the sky and guided us how to see with bare eyes and how to get the best photos. He constantly checking on us to ensure that we kept warm. The tour also included some traditional dessert, and or course hot chocolate in this chilly weather. Pedro helped us to take photos using his camera and all photos look great!
We were lucky to have a clear sky during the night we went so that aurora was dancing through the sky the whole night. It was a great experience!

"Don't freak out" - "Don't freak out." LOL. YES do freak out because the lights this evening were amazing. David guided us in the snowy weather to the exact spot we wanted to be (vs. driving to multiple locations or all the way to Finland) when it stopped snowing and we had finished our delicious reindeer stew. Lying in the snow on reindeer hides watching for the light show to begin was the highlight of my northern lights adventure.
Highly recommend David, his enthusiasm, and creativity to cut the light pollution from other not so conscientious groups.

A tour true to its name - What a fabulous small group tour! Our guide, David, made the trip so special. He was knowledgable, knew where to go and his passion and excitement for the lights was infectious. The lights were spectacular.

We didn’t see it, but there was - What angers me is not so much the fact that I didn’t see the aurora as that other, less expensive tours found it. Instead, our guide, once on the street, started saying that because the sky was cloudy, we would be lurking in a spot looking for a hole in the clouds, very small that has never been there. They got the wrong place, but there was never any mention of trying to move, just waiting for those within 20 minutes to send updates.
Personally, given the cost (190€) and not much dinner (one cookie, a couple of mashmellows, a very small portion of reindeer stew), I recommend tacking on other types of tours, perhaps bringing a packed dinner and taking the larger buses to those reduced by 15 people.
I also advise you to wait until the last minute to book, if the weather is not the best you risk losing money because obviously despite a cloud cover of 85% they did not dare to cancel the experience.
