It continued with lunch which was a disappointing soup of lamb, that most people did not enjoy. A small salad was…”

Our guide was passionate about getting us a good view- which was noticeable when we were near other groups (how much better this trip was). It took us across Norway and down into Finland - we did not see any activity until around midnight. The lights were active and we ended up with a great show. We did get back around 2:30am, but worth it. Highly recommend this tour!”
