Summary: Our guide was diligent, knowledgeable, and personable. Our driver was excellent. The guide quickly altered the itinerary to maximize our aurora viewing. He also took photos of all of us (and multiple photos of some). The bathroom break was at a well-lit, heated location. The snacks were delayed because of the fantastic aurora displays, but the maple cookies were excellent. We were very pleased with this tour.
