“I'm not very good at English, but the guide Mr.Fedelico explained it to me very kindly and in an easy-to-understand way, and the conversation was fun. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the aurora, but I really enjoyed having a barbecue in the magnificent nature reminiscent of the movie Frozen. Luckily, I was able to see a clear shooting star. Thanks to the guides and participants!”

Review of Rovaniemi’s 3-hour Aurora Hunt with Lappish barbecue, forest stops, lake views, guides, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Michael is such a good guy. He is the best tour guide of all time. He deserves the best really. He was so energetic. He helped all of us to be transported safely and comfortably. He made such a nice picnic for us. We even got lucky to see aurora. 2 times. Even though the forecast was showing low probability but he and his team mate Dima were incredibly helpful. The tour itself was so good. We didn’t even know how the time passed. Highly recommend !!!!”

“It was great. Deniz and Alex take really good care of their guests. We were picked up at our home and when we arrived at the first spot (near a river) the fire was already burning and Alex was preparing BBQ for us. A lot of other big tour operators are not nearly as organised and friendly and guest oriented as Deniz and Alex. We did not have to wait long for the northern lights.
