“amazing value for a small group tour in a small mini bus. Roberto was very knowledgable on predicting the northern night. It was very cloudy night and we hunted many places before Roberto using experience predicted where the next opening in the sky and we saw the northern light for one hour. At one point we thought we may not see it due to the heavy clouds. Roberto persisted and we were rewarded. Highly recommend. Thanks very much”
