Stunning!! The guide is passionate! He was very honest and we didn't leave the 1st night because the sky was overcast. He suggested to us: "Either you're all in and we're going, or we tell ourselves that it will be better tomorrow and we'll have a quiet beer in the heat". What great!!

Despite very little chances (according to the guide only 10% due to the weather), a small group left with the guide, 3/4 withdrew from the tour with money back. And as predicted, we "discovered" a thinner cloud cover far to the north for just under an hour and actually saw and photographed the northern lights through it. Certainly not as impressive as when the sky was clear, but better than none (like 7 years ago in Finland, 7 days there were only clouds).

The manager/guide is awesome—he’s really experienced and passionate, and has the customer’s best interest at heart. For our original day, it was socked in, with 0 chance of seeing the northern lights. Instead of taking us out to freeze and collecting our money, he cancelled and let us book again another day. He also took excellent; professional pictures for free. A true class act!
