    · September 27th, 2024
    It never happened because my luggage was lost and I had to cancel AND NO ONE stepped in to help me out to find my luggage at the AMS airport where it was lost. I called to tell them (let me tell you it was virtually impossible to get a live operator at Tourradar, but finally did) (Nordic Unique travels doesn't answer any messages over the weekend) and they were like well, I'm sorry, too bad, call the tour operator (Nordic Unique Travels). I did and they were like gee it's too bad but we can't help. OH YES, you speak the language and can get the luggage to me so I can continue the trip. BUT Nothing was done and I had fly back home the next day! NOT RECOMMENDED!

    Our experience with Nordic Unique was great. As a little older group some tours did not appeal to us and they were great about rearranging the itinerary. There could have been a little more communication prior to the trip. I would also suggest some kayaks at the lake. Our guide Matthias (Niales) was awesome!! He was patient, kind, knowledgeable and a great cook.

    Lorenzo was a fountain of knowledge when it came to the nature (which was 99% of the tour). Super interesting listening to his facts about everything in sight. He was super friendly and accommodating throughout the whole tour.

    Lorenzo was absolutely terrific!!! He is the best guide that we have ever had and we have traveled around the world.Lorenzo provided us with fantastic opportunities to see the best of Lapland! We are so glad that we signed up for the bear watch tour!!! That was the highlight of our trip!! Getting to see Bugoynes, Norway was an opportunity to see a town where King crab is king. What a special trip that was! Enroute through Finland, we saw at least 75 reindeer- most shared the road with us. Lorenzo is a superb driver who spotted all wildlife far in advance. We even got to photograph a red fox!!! My mother was born in Tampere, Finland. After a trip with Lorenzo- I truly saw Finland- its beauty and its animals. I am indebted to Lorenzo!
