If you are serious about seeing the northern lights, this private tour is definitely the way to go! Our guide Lauri did everything possible to find the lights for us, including driving to Sweden to get the best chance. We unfortunately went when the activity level was low, the clouds were blanketing Levi and the moon was at half show which didn’t make for the best conditions. Lauri drove out of the cloud covered area, in driving snow, to get us into clear skies and after a while waiting, the lights appeared. He used many different data sets to develop a personal plan and took us wherever he needed to go to find the lights for us. This was different from the other tours that just seem to go to predetermined spots. We took several other tours while in Levi and none of them even remotely compared to this private tour. If we had not taken this tour, there is no way we would have seen the lights as brilliantly as we did. After listening to some of the things we were interested in doing on our trip, he also set up an arctic polar plunge/spa trip for us which allowed us to check off a bucket list item. Take my word for it, this tour is worth every penny.
