We got great pictures and saw plenty of the show on a night where conditions didn’t look promising. Dennis gave maximum effort from start to finish. I highly recommend this trip!!!”

“It was a wonderful trip.!!! I enjoyed hearing the information on the bus and the trip up with all the frosted trees. We did get to see northern lights. However, I wish they would have told us that if we see the northern lights, we might not see the color except through a camera.”
Rovaniemi Northern Lights group tour with guaranteed aurora, pro photo help, and real-time routing across Lapland for 5–6 hours.
“We didn't see the Aurora. They did warn before we got on bus that it may not happen and he had a chance to back off. So I appreciate that honesty a lot. But I took my chances anyways. Though we didn't see anything, our tour guide still made it fun. His personality was great. Great communication. He had good spirit like when we were outside, he said to jump and make snow angel. Then we had a bbq in the middle of nowhere. Then we stopped to see snow. All that to say, he knew how to make best out of nothing and that means a lot.”
Aurora Activity Guarantee tour from Rovaniemi with solar-wind tracking, small-group stops across Lapland and Sweden, and DSLR photos.
“I picked this tour due to the high reviews, but it fell short from other aurora tours I’ve done in Lapland. The bus was decent, but the guides really did nothing. Very unfriendly and completely disinterested in engaging. It was a large crowd at the office and they just yelled out group numbers for us to follow a particular bus. No one offered us the thermal suits or told us how to get them. They didn’t tell us anything about where we were going or insight on the aurora. They just drove for 45 min and dropped us by the side of the road with no context as the bus…”

“The experience with the company didn’t start with the right foot because I sent several messages that came unanswered about pick up and drop off details . I was able to manage and once the tour started, we were advised that the conditions may or may not allow us to see the aurora. Unfortunately we were not able to see the lights ( and that is not the fault of the company , so no complains there) my complains come with the follow up after the tour. The main guide ( Berk I believe) said that he would have offered us a next day tour but that given the conditions,…”
