I also took a tour to see the Northern Lights, and the guide was very good. He tried hard to find the Northern Lights, and we were able to see a strong and beautiful Northern Lights. The food, the hot drinks, and his conversation were all very good. I would like to recommend this tour to everyone.

The tour was excellent. Even though the weather was not favorable for viewing the Lights, the guide did everything he could to ensure we had the best experience possible. Fortunately, in the end, we were crowned with a show.
