The experience was 10/10! Constantin was an amazing guide! He knew where to go and we could watch the Northern lights for the entire tour. The transportation was nice, and he even offered snacks, water, and wine! His companion was super fun too! If you go to Harstad area during winter, it is a sightseeing worthy experiencing!

It was a fantastically beautiful event with a perfect guide! It took almost an hour before we saw the Northern Lights, but our guide Constantin entertained us perfectly and in a very entertaining way and encouraged us to wait. We learned a lot from him about the appearance of the Northern Lights. It couldn't be better!

Constantin is just fantastic. Knowledgeable, funny, a great entertainer. He picked us up at the airport in Harstad at 11pm and dropped us off at 3am at our hotel. In between, we saw dozens of flares. He also taught us how to best photograph the aurora with an iPhone (!!!). Very cool!

Constantin was excellent. He found 3 very good locations for aurora photography, was a good driver and an interesting character.

Interesting and fun trip. Scenery was amazing and train staff very friendly
