we had a wonderful experience. nobody booked the same time slot so it felt like a private tour, our guide Jeremy did a fantastic job and very enthusiastic in what he does. I've red few bad reviews, but still went ahead and booked, I'm glad I did. one of our highlights. THANK YOU!

Highly recommend to book this tour if first time going to Finland. For a short stay in Rovaniemi, this tour covers the essentials. Negative points: (1) The only downside is that there is no time to rest and have a meal as the queue for the ride is long so last batch needed to rush after finishing the ride and (2) the departure time is same for many tours so we wasted time in changing the clothes due to many people going by tour at same time

Paul took great care of us – providing warm drinks, snacks. He helped everyone with taking professional pictures with his camera (I got some amazing shots on my phone as well!), and his enthusiasm kept spirits high all night. If you’re heading out to hunt the aurora, book a tour with Paul – he’s dedicated, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure you see the lights. Highly recommend! 10/10 would do again.

Punctual at 10.30am. We finished the whole tour within ~2h inclusive of travel. We got to feed the reindeers, take the sleigh ride, and were given some snacks after. Overall, pleasant experience and smooth-flow with this company. Also, Santa Claus Village is just nearby. I would definitely recommend!

We had a great time on this tour. Mike really did his best to chase the lights. You can tell that they're pros because of their knowledge and the tools they used. Caught the northern lights in this tour and we're very pleased.
