We stayed in Tromso for 3 days, and decided to join the tour on day 2. We checked the weather forecast all the time but it always said clouds or rain..
But the guide was experienced and we went to the place where we we... morere most likely to see the aurora, and indeed there was no clouds and we could see a wonderful starry sky.
The guide said that in 5 minutes a big aurora will appear, so we waited... and an amazing curtain showed up! It lasted for about 3 hours, from 21:00 to midnight.
Tour description says that there was a toilet at the base station, but as we followed the guides experience and stopped in the middle of nowhere by the cost, there was no toilet.
We went on the next day as well, but it was cloudy and could only see it through the clouds, so it was nothing like seeing it on a clear sky.
At the time we went, the temperature was 2 degrees at the lowest. We are used to cold winters, so it wasn't that bad. Apparent it's also possible to see aurora in late August, when its still quite warm. In March it can be even -25 degrees, so people usually stay in the bus and only go out when aurora appears.
Trusting in luck and guide's experience, we would definitely recommend this tour.
