Elias was our assigned photographer he understood our needs perfectly and worked with us very well. He took the most amazing pictures of my daughter. Even though I did not want my own picture taken he also convinced me of that. Many locations are closed in Morocco currently because of covid but we found many beautiful alternate locations instead. There is so much beauty in Marrakech you will definitely want to document it with this group. Pictures were delivered to us two days later while we were still on vacation. I asked for a few edits and the group was very cooperative in providing them.

Our hunters will forcast the weather & northern lights predict the best locations to have the highest probability to see northern lights. We will pick up you from the hotel in the Murmansk and go far away from the city lights to the countryside with absolute darkness and as much possible clear sky as it might be. Then we have to wait for the aurora to appear. Sometimes the colorful Northern lights appear in the blink of an eye and vanishes after a few moments later, sometimes it need to see the aurora light with camara. If our hunter find that the other location is better to chase, he will change the location.Our hunters will do everything in their power to guide you to northern lights but sometimes it´s not possible due to weather conditions or aurora activity.

Victoria our guide was amazing. She came prepared, had her photo portfolio and provided thorough explanation of Moscow monuments history. She was also flexible and accommodating, especially in the freezing temperature of winter. I would recommend to know what you want to see in advance and coordinate with the company. Since this is a private tour, they can change they itinerary based on your needs. Also it is a good thing to inquire about what is included in the price and what is not, for example the tickets to enter Saint Basil Cathedral are not included.

My private tour at Peter and Paul Fortress was very impressive. My favorite interior was central altar gate of peter and paul fortress, it represent the spirit of old Saint Petersburg. All was designed in gold magnificent style. The altar was so eye catching and glitter. The dominate color is gold.The arch above the central altar is supported by Corinthian columns. Next to them were winged statues of Peter and Paul (Patron saints). Toward the base was Virgin Mary with the Apostles at her feet. The crown represents Christ enthroned.
