More than a tour — a memory we will never forget
First of all, I want to apologize to Oli and Ryan for only writing this review now. We kept putting it off and, as these things happen, ended up forgetting about it.Our experience with Northbound was as good as it could possibly have been. Even if we had imagined our perfect night, I don't think it could have been as amazing as it actually was.My now-fiancée and I did the tour in March this year. In fact, it was during the tour that I proposed to her — and she said yes!We had originally gone to Tromsø to do a Northern Lights tour the night before, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the aurora because of the bad weather. The next day, I was desperate to find another tour, because I had planned to propose to my girlfriend while we were watching the Northern Lights.It was in that desperate search for a last-minute tour that Oli and Ryan came into our lives. By an incredible stroke of luck, they still had two spots available.From the moment the tour started, it was nothing but happiness. Oli was the one who took us to the spot where we would see the Northern Lights. He was such a great guy and made a point of talking to everyone there, getting to know each person, asking what they did for a living and what they were doing during their trip.Oli really made all of us feel like we were among friends, rather than a group of people who had just met. Absolutely impeccable.On top of that, he explained everything about the Northern Lights, the weather conditions, and our chances of seeing them that night.While we were waiting for the lights to appear, there was plenty of conversation and laughter — this time with Ryan as well. The two of them are the perfect team. There is honestly nothing negative I could say about either of them.And then came the moment I had been thinking about for such a long time.I had spent so much time imagining what the night when I would propose to my girlfriend would be like. And even in my wildest dreams, it was never as beautiful as it actually turned out to be.Oli and Ryan were incredibly special and made one of the most important days of our lives even more unforgettable. I honestly don't have enough words to thank them or explain just how special they are to us.If you want to go on a tour with people who will feel like friends by the end of it, people who make you feel completely at home, there is no better team than these two. They are absolutely fantastic.Oh, and Oli — congratulations on Arsenal winning the Premier League! But the Champions League will have to wait for another time... Maybe Ryan can tell you what it feels like to win one someday! 😂Thank you, Oli and Ryan, for an unforgettable night. We will never forget it. ❤️A big hug from João and Maria!
