TRUST HIM, he gonna make your dream about aurora come true
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Dimiter in Rovaniemi. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does.
What truly made the difference was his dedication to giving us the best possible chance to see the Northern Lights. He carefully monitored the weather conditions and drove us to the best possible spots, always patient and determined. Thanks to him, we witnessed one of the most magical moments of our lives — the Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky.
Beyond that, Dimiter made the entire experience even more special with his kindness, great energy, and attention to detail. He made us feel comfortable, excited, and well taken care of throughout the whole tour.
If you are looking for a guide who truly goes above and beyond to create a unique and memorable experience, Dimiter is the one. We cannot recommend him enough!
Thank you, Dimiter, for making this dream come true — this is something we will carry with us forever.

Road trip!
We saw amazing lights, even though it was raining in Rovaniemi when we left! All were prepared for a long 3+ hour drive through Sweden to find a patch of open sky - and we did! The driver had so many resources and experience, that we relaxed, trusting our guide George completely. (It seemed like other vans were following us, I think they knew our guide was the best ;-).
He got just as excited as us when he found them, just seconds before they rippled across the sky. The lights were very strong for 10+ minutes, but they were visible as a mist/cloud for almost an hour. The guide took as many pictures as we wanted, and will send a link to photos a few days later.
It is a long drive if it’s cloudy in Rovaniemi, so bring plenty of data to catch up on emails and write up your trip notes - or listen to your audiobook while enjoying the long, dark, snowy road lined with trees. Our trip took 10 hours total. The next night was clear in R. and the other guests got back after only 4 hours.
Warning: there is only ONE gas station along the entire route with a bathroom, and it’s only one toilet for 1-3 vans, for ~ 24 people - very very clean though. Take small sips if you must drink, or be prepared to “go behind the van” if you can.
Thanks George and Arctic GM! You are the pros!

An unforgettable experience!
Super experience seeing an amazing aurora! The guide Emin was excellent and very experienced. We had to drive all the way to Sweden to see the northern lights in clear sky, but thanks to him we were able to witness a wonderful one! It was an unforgettable experience!

Perfect night
Toni was great! He took it very seriously to find us the best spots for the northern lights and it did not disappoint. We had three great spots one that was exceptionally better than others. We were gone a total of about four hours, and it was very chilly so dress warm and bring water. If I ever had the opportunity to use this company or Toni again I definitely would!

Great guide - hot chocolate Aurora sighting
This is a very easy way to go searching for the Northern Lights. The office is easy to find, our guide Juliette was very nice and was a safe driver. She took us to 2 spots and we settled at one with a wide open view on a frozen lakeside where we were fortunate to see the Aurora. She shared some insights on how the Auroras are formed and what to look for when tracking them. We had hot chocolate and stood there for about 90 minutes where she took some pictures of each group with the lights overhead in the sky. We are looking forward to getting our pictures emailed and would definitely recommend this trip. Our van had 8 guests so it was a good size group and the seats were comfortable and our trip was warm. A good way to search safely - thanks for a great evening!

There was a mixup with my booking being scheduled for the next day instead of the date I booked and luckily, after getting in touch with viator who helped to contact with the operator, we managed to go on the date booked and luckily we did because the NL for that night was amazing! Rasmus, our tour guide brought us out to a very good spot and took awesome pictures for our small tour of 8 people. Because of the small capacity, we were able to go to take many photos to our hearts content where rasmus was very pro-active. Cookies and drinks were provided. Highly recommend!

Family friendly Light Hunt
Our first time in rovaniemi and with a seven year old in tow, we wanted a ‘hunt’ that was going to work for all of us and this really hit the nail on the head. First off, we didn’t see the lights and yet my daughter had a brilliant time. The fact a cottage is available to pop in and out was perfect and meant if we got cold, we could take 5mins inside with a tea. While waiting for the clouds to hopefully clear, there is an ice slide which my daughter entertained herself with. Top this off with grilled sausage and marshmallows and my daughter barely noticed the lights did not appear! We all had a fantastic evening and it was just nice to spend time together. I haven’t even mentioned the excellent pick-up (guide was in reception and already had a kids booster seat in vehicle despite not requesting), the location of the cottage at the edge of a frozen lake (magical!) and the guide doing everything possible to find a glimmer of the lights with constant high resolution photography just added incredibly to the experience!

Long tour but it was memorable
We had to go all the way to Sweden to see the lights but our guide knew what he was doing and tried so hard to find them and did. Were rewarded with a nice show and he took some really great photos. Only downside was that we got stuck in a ditch coming back requiring assistance to be pulled out. This made it a long tour, not returning back till 9am. Probably just need some better policies to help when something like this happens.

Solo traveller
A bit chaotic at the office before I set off. I was amazed at the number of people on the tour. I was on coach 7 which was a 55 seater and it was completely full.
We eventually found the Northern Lights after about 2 hours driving north with the driver going down country lanes to the side of a river which meant he had to reverse about 1 kilometre to get back to the main road.
The hot drinks were given out on the coach before we left to come back.
Overall, we saw the lights which was the object so cannot complain too much.
Juan and SK, the guides, were very helpful and friendly.

Exceeded all expectations
Amazing! We were a group of 4 not really expecting much from this but this experience was probably our favorite part of Rovaniemi. We traveled during some of their coldest temperatures and surprisingly were not cold during our float. The suits kept us dry/warm, the people kept us informed/feeling safe, and just before we were packing up to leave from our cookies/juice, the auroras appeared and they took their time to explain and allowed us to experience this magical event. If you have any doubts, please don’t and book this tour!

It was a beautiful...
It was a beautiful experience. The music and Christmas lights made for a Romantic ambiance. The food was delicious and the staff so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Matthew, our waiter, Andrew, the driver and compliments to the chef. Would definitely recommend.
