“We were in Tromso for a week trying to see the Auroras. Unfortunately, the weather got pretty nasty for about 3 days during this week. We had this tour scheduled and many other tours had canceled us due to weather conditions. Thankfully they didn't. Even though it was rainy and windy all day, our guide Evgeni was able to improvise a scenic route that was very enjoyable.

If we are ever…”
