“Our guide Miquel was simply the best. Extremely helpful with the camera gear and super knowledgeable about photography, the northern lights and where/how to find and watch them. Would recommend this Tour to everyone in Abisko - and would recommend trying to do it with Miquel if possible!”
Tyresta dusk hike from Stockholm with fika and a Swedish meal. Small group, forest lake views, and an easy return by bus.
“I recommend Viator but not the private tour operator. Our ship was unable to dock in Stockholm due to heavy winds. The captain notified us exactly 24 hours prior to the excursion. Went to our room and called Viator immediately but we were now within 24 hours of a full refund. My call was 21 minutes too late. Viator ask the tour operator if they would make an exception and refund my money. They refused, but Viator did the right thing and refunded my money out of their pocket.”

Nuestra guía fue Claudia, muy simpática, nos fue explicando todo sobre Kiruna y alrededores, el parque natural, las auroras boreales, etc ( en inglés). Y al final nos preparó un fuego donde calentó una sopa de salmón espectacular y unos sándwiches. Gracias Claudia, has hecho que nuestro viaje sea muy especial”
