The guide would not stop with talking and I had the feeling he had to share his entire life with us, but that is the only negative thing I have to say. The first night our tour was cancelled but we had no issue with rescheduling for the next day and then we saw the lights. You could definitely see the lights moving and playing in the sky, it looked like a lightshow, but the green colour wasn't really visible, if you took a picture it looked realy green but with the naked eye it is definitely not the same.
