The tour was a very amazing experience, but the “tour guide” was not a guide in any way. He was just a driver. There was no introduction or any sort of expectation set at the beginning , so we were left to wonder what we can/cannot do.
The point of doing a tour that encompasses daylight is to be able to look outside and enjoy the scenery while driving- but the windows were fogged up and iced the whole entire way- I know this is not avoidable but it could be controlled by adjusting temperature, or maybe for future, invest in something to make sure that doesn’t occur on these tours.
Not once did the driver even ask how the temperature was, if we want to stop for bathroom (while driving past a gas station), or if we want to stop for any pictures along the way. We felt very rushed when we got to the Arctic Circle. The northern lights were out and the group was excited to be taking pictures with the signs and the lights, but we were told that we have a minute before he turns the headlights off, and we were standing in front of the sign trying to take a picture and he turned the lights off on us. We then quickly left the side where the Arctic sign was only to drive on the other side and sit in the car , all of us confused as to why we rushed only to move the other side and sit there.
The only reason I’m giving this tour any stars is because the Arctic Circle itself and northern lights is worth seeing and a wonder in itself, we also stopped at the Yukon River and sled down which was a neat experience, and the driver himself was a good and safe driver. But that’s all he was- a driver, if this tour is being described as a tour , I suggest having another person come along with the driver to actually give a tour and information. If you plan on doing this tour I suggest speaking up, and take lead and really let the driver know when you want to stop and areas you will like pictures in.
