I have waited a lifetime for this experience and so thankful we were able to see them! Would love to bring my kids and grandkids to experience the lights. I can’t recommend Greenlander Tours highly enough! Thanks to Markus for setting…”

I highly recommend doing a private tour because you can move slowly and they will be able to interpret and interact with locals when asking for info. It was entertaining, enlightening, and didn't focus on the things I could learn on the Internet.”
