I'll start by saying you'll find the Auroras everywhere in Yellowknife. However...if you want the best sites to view them, then go with Tracy and Bucket List Tours. If you want the total package of visiting the NWT, then go with Tracy and Bucket List Tours. You will never meet a nicer, more knowledgeable, more generous, more caring person than Tracy Therrien. Once you meet her, you'll have a friend for life. Even if you just meet her on the street in Yellowknife, you will have a friend for life. She's that kind of person, and so is her business. Go with Bucklist Tours, and you won't be disappointed!

Tracy indeed has a lovely cozy cabin including very warm Inuit coats! Her chowder was awesome surpassed ( barely) by her outstanding bannock. The night was long until the incredible Aurora showed up, but hearing local stories passed the time and kept us warm

Excellent tour with Tracey. Highly recommended!! 10/10 Tracey goes above and beyond. Old Town is amazing.

We had booked a city tour with Bucket List Tours for the day after we arrived in Yellowknife. That day we awakened to thick smoke from the encroaching fires. As the morning went on, all the tours we had scheduled for our trip were cancelled, except our city tour with Tracy. She carried on with the tour but as the day went on and the smoke thickened, she highly recommended that we leave and helped us to work with our travel agent to get out of the city and make alternate plans. She waived all fees for the two tours we had booked with her. We found Tracy to be very knowledgeable; kind and compassionate, putting aside her own worries to assist us. Although we were unable to get out of Yellowknife that day, Tracy came to transport us to the airport the next day to catch our flight. She went above and beyond at every level! We would highly recommend Tracy at Bucket List for any tours you are considering.

Tracy is a very knowledgeable, friendly and reliable guide. I learned a lot on the tour and enjoyed safe transportation to and from the hike.

I only had a day in Yellowknife and the half day tour I took was perfect. We did a 25-30 min hike up to Cameron Falls (and then down again) on a beautiful August morning. No bugs at all, but our guide brought bug spray and water. Then, a quick tour of town with some history of the area given by a charming host. Highly recommended!

I was on this tour in December. The experience was amazing. Tracy was our hostess. Knowledgeable, pleasant, funny, friendly and easy to talk to. We reached at the cabin and she had fresh Chowder and fresh Bannocks for us. It was cold outside and nice and cozy inside the cabin. Tracy made sure everyone was comfortable and answered any questions we had. We didn't see the northern lights but it was a great tour and a great evening. I would recommend Tracy and her tours to anyone visiting NWT.

Tracy from Bucket List Tours gave an excellent tour. Yellowknife pretty much shuts down on Sunday and Monday so there were several attractions that were closed but Tracy did a great job with the limitations she was under.

We really enjoyed this tour. We stayed in the cabin while waiting for the Aurora, it was warm and comfortable. The bread and fish soup were very delicious.

This was a really special experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life. Tracy picked us up at our hotel, and from the get-go, the conversation was informative, lively, and flowed. We arrived at the cabin, which had a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Tracy's fish chowder was way up among the best I've ever had, and her bannock was likewise delicious. She had a selection of jams, as well as a plethora of teas to choose from! We were able to spend time both outside to watch the aurora, as well as inside to warm ourselves. Tracy always kept a weather eye so we didn't miss any activity outside. Moreover, Tracy did her best to ensure that we were able to take our own photos, and took some for us. And, while this is not under Tracy's control, the lights danced for us in spectacular fashion. Tracy was very knowledgeable, and a gracious hostess. I would recommend this experience to anyone who's interested about learning local lore, and, if I'm ever in Yellowknife again, will definitely look to book again!

Chasing Aurora from a bus leaves a lot to be desired. A lodge based tour is definitely the way to go!! (Idid both). Tracy has an adorable cabin in the woods that has a central stove for warmth and tables for dining and spreading out your stuff. The back wall is lined with various dress up fur coats and wraps which are fun to add to your photos! Pine trees nestled in snow make this peaceful and quiet while waiting for auora. Around midnight attract serves delicious fish soup and bannock bread which is a perfect complement to the awesome experience. Highly recommend!!! And if you have kids Tracy is wonderful at keeping them entertained with games and even a makeshift bed of fire if they get sleepy.

If you have the privilege to visit this magical place you simply MUST take the wonderful city tour with Tracy. She is so knowledgeable and kind and fun. Tracy guided us through all of the wonders that Yellowknife has to offer and then we had the absolute pleasure to spend the evening with her, at her incredibly charming cabin, to witness the Aurora. Tracy is a brilliant ambassador of Yellowknife. Her passion and sense of humour made our ‘bucket list trip’ something we will always remember. Thank you, Tracy, for giving us an experience of a lifetime. We will be forever grateful for your hospitality.

Tracy was a nice and warm existence to our short trip to Yellowknife. Her stew was just more than superb! Unforgettable experience.

My friend and I had been looking desperately for an Aurora tour that was more intimate since we hate crowds haha. I’m so so happy we stumbled upon this tour! Our guide was friendly, personable and made the whole evening so fun! If you don’t see the aurora, you’ll have a plethora of fur coats for a lil photo shoot, soup, bannock, and so many teas to drink! It’s cozy and with a smaller group, it was easy to share stories and enjoy the evening! I would redo this tour over and over if it wasn’t our last night there. Thanks again!

Whilst we didn't see the Aurora, we did have a truly wonderful and unique experience in Yellowknife. Tracy, our host, was incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful story teller. She cooked us a delicious fish chowder and bannock and made us feel so welcome in her cozy hut. She was very generous with her time and went over and above in sharing what she loves about her town, country and heritage. I would definitely recommend this tour... thanks Tracy!
