This tour far exceeded my expectations. As soon as we set out on the boat toward the island, Rob the tour guide said the Northern lights are out. We climbed to the top level of Bost and saw the Northern lights as we approached the Peace tower light. Best night ever!!

Fantastic experience. Very moving. Fun to be on a deserted island at night. Megan, our guide, was brilliant. She was very friendly and informative & took amazing photos as we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights at the same time - bonus!! Would definitely recommend this trip, even if you’re not a John Lennon fan.

Great tour with a small group, 8 people. Walking around the uninhabited island with cold wind and creaky dock was a rare experience

We loved this trip. The captain of the boat was a great driver. The guide gave us a history of the light and a tour of the church on the island. Loved the music playing Imagine by the light. And we saw the Northern Lights which was a plus 👏🏻. Thanks so much.

MarionLavoie, Oct 2022
The tour guide was informative about Videy Island, the church and the Peace Tower It was a beautiful evening to take a short walk to the Peace Tower. Pictures were taken of the tower beams and different languages to express peace. It was disappointing that there wasn't a video from Yoko Ono and be able to place a message of peace as advertised for this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Dear MarionLavoie,
Thank you for the review of our Imagine Peace Tower Walking tour on Videy island. We're gad you enjoyed the tour.
Rest assured that we'll certainly look into your comments regarding the video (which is available online) and an option to write a message of peace.
All the best,
The Elding team

As a big fan of the Beatles this was a must in our trip. You get to see a bit more than just the light as you step into the island. The view of the city is nice and we were lucky to see the northern lights from there too!

Fabulous. Really pleased we were able to visit the tower whilst it was lit. Would highly recommend visiting the tower.. I found it very moving.

NorthernLights trip was cancelled so booked this, I’m not the best Walker so struggled a bit but that was my own fault as I knew walking was involved. As a last minute trip this was lovely
