I recently had the pleasure of going on an aurora tour with Bogdan, and I can't thank him enough for the incredible experience! From the moment we met, his friendliness and warmth made us feel right at home. Unlike my previous tour on February 4th with another company, where I learned very little, Bogdan shared a wealth of knowledge about the northern lights. His passion for the aurora shines through, and he took the time to explain the science and stories behind them, making the experience not just enjoyable but educational. Beyond his expertise, Bogdan truly cared about our comfort. He went above and beyond to ensure we were warm and cozy throughout the tour, which made a significant difference in our enjoyment. On top of all that, his sense of humor added a delightful touch to the evening. He shared funny anecdotes about Norway and himself, keeping us entertained and engaged. Overall, I highly recommend Bogdan for anyone looking to explore the northern lights.
Amazing aurora chase, ending up in the best possible location. Incredible guides, Joaquin and Anna. Undoubtedly we would repeat!
