Amazing trip, guides were suuuper engaged, Thank you to Nelson, Karel and Sergey. They even drove us back home to our Airbnb afterwards and we got more than enough toilet breaks. We based camp around 130 km away from Tromsø, we felt safe the whole time because driving in those conditions is not for the light-hearted. There were enough warm suits for everyone, coffee, tea, coke and grilled hotdogs. Overall absolutely amazing and great value for money.

I would give more than 5/5 stars if I could!! Nelson, Karel and Sergei were absolutely amazing guides - they were sweet, attentive and enthusiastic throughout the experience. We rode in Sergei’s car and he gave us information about the Northern lights and recommendations for things to do during our stay. The trip we had booked in advance with a different group got cancelled and we were VERY fortunate to have found this experience available last minute and I am so so glad we did. Couldn’t recommend it enough - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any of my friends/family were they to visit Tromsø. Thank you guys for making our trip so so memorable!!!

Nelson and team get it. They basically roll the red carpet for you and offer a complete white glove experience. And they really know where to go, and when. Seeing the northern lights with them is a must have!
