This must be one of few northern lights trips that has a toilet. A lot are on small mini buses, so if its a problem being out for 7 hours without one, then choose these. The guides were very helpful, also having a vast knowledge of cameras to help you. We were not fortunate the night we went out, but... More

Overall - 2nd best tour I went on while in Tromso. If limited possibility of seeing the lights near Tromso, get a tour with a small group. They can travel further distances compared to this tour to chase the lights. If high liklihood of seeing lights around Tromso, then can book this tour. Bookings - no need to pre-book with... More

We were in Tromso for a couple of nights and had pre booked a trip with these guys. On the night of our trip we were not sure if it would go ahead because of the weather but when we got there they said "yes, we always go" It was blizzards most of the day, so was a bit surprised.... More

I booked with the Arctic Guide Service on two nights. The guides were excellent, informative, enthusiastic and honest. The first night looked hopeless, heavy snow and thick cloud in Tromso. Our guide, Frank, told us that things looked really bad and that we shouldn't expect to see anything but that we would go all the way to the border with... More

Signed up with arctic guide services at very short noice - after being 'snowed off' from another trip. The whole trip is very well organised and reflective jackets are supplied if you are at the road side to see the lights. Francesco was very helpful - thanks Francesco. We travelled up to the Finland border to chase the lights -... More

I did the Northern lights chase with Arctic Guide Service in March of 2012. I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical by this time because I came specifically to Tromso to see the Northern Lights (for a total of three nights) and this was my last night to see the Northern Lights. The first two nights I went... More

There are plenty of more expensive northern lights trips than this one, but this one is the ebst we tried. They accommodate any number of people and if you don't see the lights you get a cheaper 2nd trip and then even cheaper 3rd trip. They drive as far as they need and the people are just lovely. We saw... More

We were in Tromso in Feb 2012 for 1 week and wanted to book guides to see the lights. We sent e mails to few places and Artic Guide Services replied v promptly via e mail, it was simple to book online and then we just showed up that evening and paid in the lobby of the hotel. That night... More

Having spent 7 nights on a Hurtigruten Cruise in December without seeing the Northern Lights once, we decided to return to Tromso for another try. I saw the company advertised in an in-flight magazine as 'See the Northern Lights tonight!' so we decided to put them to the test! Although we booked ahead online we could have booked on the... More

I contacted AGS back in January in preparation for our February trip. At first I was unsure about booking with them as I was unable to find any information or reviews on the web. However after sending a request to them I had a very speedy response with all the information clearly detailed on the e-mail. A good start. I... More
