"Did the Jordan Essential Tour, it was absolutely amazing. This was my first Group Travel Tour and I loved it. I was worried about being the oldest one on the tour (I’m 34), but it was a good mix of ages. It was incredible to travel with people of different nationalities. Our Tour guide Issa was great. At all times he was really helpful. Taught us a lot about Jordanien history and culture. The tour was a great mix of everything...sightseeing, exploring, chillin and partying."

"BUYER BEWARE!!! This company has a policy that if THEY cancel your trip…THEY get to keep your money and you get a credit the company. They cancelled my first trip..found out the hard way about their policy. Booked a trip…then had left over money so booked another…which they cancelled…again. Surprisingly…this time they offered a refund, but only gave me back the money I had put down…not what was left of “my credit”. So now I am forced to do business with a company I no longer wish to, that picks and chooses when to follow their own policy!! There are plenty of other travel agencies with similar tours…don’t give these guys your hard earned money for them to keep."

What travelers are saying

"Just returned from Italy. Guides were very informative. Hotels went downhill with each city. Dinners which were included were absolutely horrible - vegetable lasagna in Italy really? Worst part was our guide Alessandro did not wait for us when the group met for the taxi to the airport - we were 5 minutes late. He lied about calling our room - front desk said he had not. Our friends reminded him we were missing but he left anyway - could have been a costly disaster if we didn't run to catch up. Never again!"

What travelers are saying

"This company knowingly failed to obtain a permit to view wildlife. They are not acting with respect towards local communities or the wildlife. Locals say they interfered with polar bears emerging from hibernation. The company has been found guilty. Google it then research a more responsible outfitter."

What travelers are saying

"Hello , first there is no airport transfer at all as they mentioned in the trip program , no one waited us at the airport as they mentioned that we should provide them with the flight schedule but unfortunately they neglected this service for arrivals and for departures as well , the level of the hotel in Lyon is under expected maybe 2 stars , the hotels are somewhat away from the city center which makes the transportation for the clients cost more and waste of time , the guide was very quick in her steps without even looking at the families and children and not being able to follow her . Rather , she was even quick to finish the designated program , such as presenting a program that was supposed to be for tomorrow and presenting it without justification , making one day crowded with her program and the second day on the contrary i.e there may be only one visit as it happened in changing visiting Eifel tower although it was late afternoon and the line was so crowded that took around 2 hours waited in line in order to gets tickets for the whole group while it was supposed to be on the 2nd day with scène river cruise , the stoppage in some cities as Geneva needs more than only 2 hours time while stoppage in between the cities in the rural area needs less than that time gave it to us .no flexibility in changing the program after booking even for a more advanced and valued trips ( changing not cancelling ) , it must be a meeting prepared for the group in a lobby of the hotel the night before or even if 1 hour before getting into the buses as a type of acquaintance and introduction between the members of the group ."

Northern Lights Tour Selection Trips

  • The Northern Lights operate on their own timetable, dependent on atmospheric conditions. You’re never guaranteed an appearance at any given time, but you can maximize your chances. 
  • The best opportunities to witness the lights are when the skies are clear and dark in the fall through spring. Summer skies are too bright for viewing, and cloudy, snowy skies can prevent viewing.
  • While September-October and March-April may bring more chances to see the lights, they tend to be at their brightest in winter darkness. 
  • The Northern Lights are most commonly witnessed on or above the Arctic Circle – approximately 66 degrees latitude – but occasionally dip much lower, into U.S. states such as Michigan and Maine or, in Europe, into Scotland, England or even northern France.  
  • You can increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights by traveling to places where they are most common – such as the region around Fairbanks, Alaska; Whitehorse, Canada; or Abisko National Park, Sweden. 
  • For the darkest skies, avoid scheduling your aurora borealis tour for days when the moon is full and bright (the new moon is ideal) and be sure to get out into the countryside away from city lights. Peak viewing time is generally around midnight.
