Review of Helsinki’s 105-minute winter bus tour, with heated double-decker views, 11-language audio, two photo stops, and practical tips.

“Was a standard city bus tour. The bus was clean, it arrived on time, the driver was friendly. Was not hop on hop off as they do not operate that in the winter which is fair. Been on many of these tours, would just be amazing if they could get the commentary to match the actual location. But got to see some sights further out of the city that would not have seen otherwise.”

“It was wonderful, although Finland was 100% cloudy, we crossed into Norway to beat the clouds, and we did. It was a fantastic geomagnetic show, red, rainbow and watermelon auroras everywhere. Car was top notch, very comfortable. Our guide Michael, although not very talkative, was very nice, he was very determined and took us right where we need to be to see the lights and I really appreciated his skillful and prudent driving across frozen roads, I felt very safe with him driving us. It was a long road that spanned the entire night but it was rewarding. I am glad we started the trip even on full cloud coverage!”

Rovaniemi Northern Lights Photography Small-Group Tour

15.Rovaniemi Northern Lights Photography Small-Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 409 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $176

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights photography tour, with aurora chasing, warm gear, campfire snacks, photos, and practical booking advice.

“The problem was not that we didn’t see the lights. It was that they KNEW we wouldn’t because of the cloudy cover, but despite that, they offered no refund (not even a partial one) and no option to cancel. Just before we left the office, the guide said that the chance was low, but again, offered no alternative. Making a fire and having some snacks was not what I signed up for. Also, despite advertising a hotel pick up, I was asked to come to their office. It wasn’t far, but still, not very professional.”
