A wonderful day! Maurizio is a trained guide and he told us many things about the islands and traditions. Fortunately there were only four of us, so we were able to make many stops to take pictures. It must be said, however, that even if the group had been full, it would have been a group of up to eight people. I heard that Lofoten Lights also organizes winter tours to photograph the Northern Lights, if I can make this trip, I will definitely contact them for the tour!

What an amazing tour! Andrea was a great guide! He was very nice and had lots of information about the islands. The route he prepared was very beautiful and the snacks were a really nice touch. His spanish was very good too. I highly recommend this tour.

We were guided by Eric. The 7 hours flew by. We saw a lot of beautiful stretches of coast and got a lot of information about the country and its people. All in all a very successful day, absolutely recommendable

Extremely relaxing tour. The guide was cool and brought us to a lot of beautiful places for phototaking. There was sufficient time at each stop. The lunch place was great too.

The tour actually lasted almost 7 hours with interesting stops and a very knowledgeable and nice guide, Eric.
