We did the tour because we wanted to see the Northern Lights and it worked out great. We also got some great photos, which Thibaut, the guide, took with his camera. Thibaut also took a lot of time for everyone on the tour and took photos with everyone and told us a lot about the Northern Lights and other information as well. At the end, it was really nice to warm up again around a campfire with tea, sausages and chocolate. All in all - thank you, Thibaut!

It was great, even withouth seen the Northern Lights we enjoyed a lot. The weather was cloudy that was the reason we couldn’t saw it, but the photos with the camera were great. Do this journey in only 6 people was good too, turned to be more private. Tomas, our guide, put a lot of effort on founding it.
