“Our tour guide Lovingson was very knowledgeable about the northern lights and explained to us how it really works. Lovingson only takes small groups and it turned out it was just the 2 of us. He tried to stay away from the large bus locations to minimize the light pollution and crowds. We had a great experience even though after two hours into the tour there were no more northern lights to be seen. I would go on any tour with Lovingson!”
“I had a fantastic experience on the Bison Highway Wildlife Tour today. My guide, Saphire, was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the bison and surrounding landscape, but also about Yellowknife and the local Indigenous communities. Her passion for the tour really stood out and made the experience even more engaging. She was a genuinely lovely person to spend time with, which made the solo tour feel very welcoming and enjoyable. I would absolutely do this again in a different season and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area..”
“I received a personal tour of Yellowknife which exceeded my expectations. My tour guide, Lovingson, was full of interesting information about the people, places and history of Yellowknife. We explored Uptown, Downtown and Oldtown and I felt that I got a feeling for what Yellowknife is like. I would highly recommend this tour.”
