All in all the tour was great. Sadly we had a low chance of finding the lights during this tour due to the cloudy weather, but our guide Atanas was there to make sure that we were able to see it. And finally we did. It was awesome, and he was very friendly and informative throughout the tour!

It was really cloudy and windy that day, both the tour guid and us were scared that we aren’t going to see any auroras, but the tour guide was really professional and were able to find the aurora in this extreme weather. I’m very happy with the result!
