We booked this tour twice so this review is for the second trip with Raphael as the guide. We went to one location with a fire overlooking the lake. Raphael was clearly passionate and excited to potentially see auroras (we did see one little one). Clothes, drinks, and biscuits were provided. It was quite a long excursion - picked up at 8:15pm and got home at midnight.

We went on this tour with Pablo as our guide. We went to three or four different spots but no luck! We still had a great time!! Pablo was friendly and knowledgable, he even brought hot juice and snacks that we had by the fire while we watched the skies. 100% recommend this tour :-)

The tour was amazing! Very well organized. We were brought to a nice and cozy "Kota" tent, with a fire to keep us warm while waiting for the lights. While waiting, the guide told us many interesting stories about many aspects of Finland. Later on, we made several stops to make sure we see the lights, even though the official tour time was over - thank you so much for this dedication! Very recommended tour.
