Hi, I'm Susanne and I love wind and weather and nature! That's why I live in the High Arctic! Still, some civilization is nice, that's why I live in the beautiful city of Tromsø! If you wonder how we live at the limits and how we survive in the arctic I would love to share my passion and my excitement with you. If you are looking for memorable experiences under the midnight sun or in polar night under the dancing northern lights join me for a special and safe experience. The centre of Tromsø is situated on one island, though the city area includes 60 more islands. Most of Tromsø is within walking distance, so we can explore most of the highlights and my "hidden gems" by strolling through the city together. Some places, though, like the Arctic Cathedral or the Cable car are easier to reach by either public transport or with a limo. Other adventures, like the beautiful nature of the outer islands or the magic of the northern lights are better experienced with a comfortable limo or taxi. Over the past 30 years, I have been guiding guests in Tromsø, in Norway and Scandinavia in summer and in winter. I have been walking thousands of kilometres on walks in Tromsø and the area of Tromsø, have spent hundreds of nights out under the northern lights and have travelled all varieties of tours in Norway and Scandinavia. I was born in Germany, grew up in Greece, Germany and Norway and have been living and working in various countries. I find my multicultural background comes in handy when welcoming guests from all over the world. In addition to my passion for guiding, I am working as a keynote speaker and a trainer for new city guides, tour guides and northern lights guides. I am also a certified Lead International trainer by the WFTGA (World Federation of Tour Guide Associations), which brings me to different countries to train new guides. What does a tour guide do in her free time? Of course, I love traveling! Having lived in various continents, I enjoy discovering the European countries these years. However, Tromsø and Northern Norway are my all-time favourites! I pride myself on being able to relate to and meet the interests of my guests and will happily customize your tour to meet your needs and wishes.

Experience standing under the dancing northern lights, either somewhere in the surrounding majestic mountains or on one of our hidden secluded beaches. Get the feel of how and why humans in earlier times were fascinated (and frightened) by the lights and get a deeper understanding of the magic, that still enchants us humans today. At the same time, learn about the newest insights about the lights found by our world renowned scientists. New science, and still there are unsolved secrets in our vast universe. Did you know Tromsø is also called the city of the northern lights? We are right under the aurora oval, which makes it the ideal starting point for our northern lights expedition. This is my favourite tour. I actually moved to Tromsø many years ago to live my life under the northern lights. Every night again, when I am out hunting the lights I am thrilled and excited and humbled by the majesty of our universe.
For this excursion, we follow the weather. Wherever the sky looks clearest, that's the direction we will be heading to. This might be either the outer islands with spectacular small islands and secluded beaches or we drive towards the west into the inland of the Troms area with its majestic mountains and fjords. Sometimes it is only a one-hour drive to a good clear spot, other times it takes two hours for a good spot. We will have stops to take in the stunning view and we can have photo stops on the way. Note: The itinerary can be customized according to your interests and wishes. I can also customize the tour, being longer or shorter.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
According to Norwegian law, I cannot be your driver. I will arrange for our private limo or taxi to take us around. For the limo or taxi, it is better to book long term in advance.
