Tromssa Päiväretket

amazing. we got to witness the aurora all thanks to our capable tour guide that was able to guide us to see the amazing view of the northern lights

Amazing experience with the team of 3 (2 guides + driver) led a bus group of 49pax, all public signed ups. Interesting to note that none of the 3 are Norwegian. ;). What’s more important is that they know where to take us to catch Ms Aurora dancing! All pictures are captured by iPhone 16. This is my 3rd time seeing Northern lights (1st Iceland, 2nd Finland), Tromso’s experience is hands down! Breathtaking!

The scenery itself is really nice, especially the fjord views, and the price feels reasonable considering how expensive things are here. The fish soup that was included was also a nice surprise and definitely added value to the experience. That said, one downside was the group composition. About half of the participants were from China, many of whom didn’t speak English, didn’t follow the guide’s explanations, and talked loudly during the tour. It did affect the overall atmosphere and made it harder to enjoy the guide’s commentary. I think it would be much better if the tour operator could separate groups by language or travel style, as different guests clearly have different expectations. Overall, the tour itself is worth doing, but the experience would be improved with better group arrangements.
