- LPLeah Anna· March 19th, 2025Our tour guide Elo was fantastic. She was always nice and friendly, helped us and provided us with the right information. Group was very nice. Just be prepared for long bus drives if you start from Helsinki (there is an option to start from Rovaniemi to avoid this just check with the operator). Although we had people older than 45 with us, they did the activities just as enthusiastically as the younger people. It was an awesome trip and I will remember it.Show moreTrip date: March 2025
Jean· March 17th, 2025Excellent service of our tour guide ELO and our drivers.Show moreTrip date: March 2025- CDCrystal· January 11th, 2025Absolutely loved this tour! Met so many incredible people and saw gorgeous sites. We were able to see the northern lights 3 nights in a row and our tour guide did a remarkable job making sure we knew what to look for and helped point out the lights when they were less visible. All the activities were so much fun with a lot of optional free time. Definitely recommend this to anyone who loves being on the go and active!Show more

What our customers ask about this tour

Nancy
Asked on May 8th, 2025Which part of the tour visits the northern lights area?
TimetravelsOperator•Written May 2025At that time of the year the daylight is quite short, usually from 10:00 in the morning to 14:00 in the afternoon. Then, it means that when it's dark, you could observe northern lights! The main criteria for it are: darkness and low clouds covering. The accommodations in which you will stay are in the middle of the nature, so it is possible that you could see auroras from your accommodation or from an area nearby. Of course, your guide will help you to know where is the best spot and how to check the forecast. To summarise, there is no need to worry about auroras, you'll have plenty of time and chances to see them! Of course, I would keep in mind that this a natural phenomenon that we cannot control.

Asked on May 5th, 2025We are a family of four (2 adults and 2 children, ages 10 and 12). Could you please confirm if the activities in the package are safe and suitable for kids of this age group? Regarding accommodations or cabins included in the package – will our family of four have the whole cabin to ourselves only, or will we be sharing with other guests?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written May 2025
About the activities, you don't have to worry, they are all safe. As much for you as for your children! Indeed, they are all about walk, swim, visit, and meet with animals. It is unlikely that your accommodation will be shared. Indeed, the ones we usually use are for 2 to 4 people, so perfect for your family!

Traveler•Written May 2025We noticed that the estimated return to Rovaniemi Railway Station on December 28 is around 21:00. Would it be safe to book the Santa Claus Express night train departing at 21:00, or do you have any other recommendations?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written May 2025
About your way back from Rovaniemi Railway station, I recommend you to book your train including a bit of delay. Usually we recommend 4 hours after the estimated arrival time. Indeed, we would like to prevent any bad driving conditions for example.

Asked on April 29th, 2025Can you let us know which hotels we are staying. Are you able to book one night before the travel starts and also one knight after the travel ends so we have enough time before and after the tour? How much would each night cost?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written May 2025
You will be staying in two different places: 3 nights in Kilpijärvi, Finnish Lapland and, 2 nights in Björkliden, Swedish Lapland. During your whole stay, the accommodation will be shared cottages. If you wish to enjoy one night more in Lapland before the trip starts, I recommend you to fly to Rovaniemi and the bus can pick you up on the way north. Sadly, as our trips are packages, we don't provide extra night services. However, if you wish to stay in Rovaniemi, there is a good amount of choices there.

Luis
Asked on April 27th, 2025Will accommodation be provided in Helsinki? If not, how much additional should I pay?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written April 2025
Unfortunately, we are not providing any accommodation in Helsinki before, nor after our trips. If you wish to book a night in Helsinki, please contact other providers. We will meet you on our trip, starting by a departure point (typically it is a railway station) on the first day of the tour.

Melanie
Asked on March 27th, 2025Wondering do you have dates available during January 2026?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written March 2025
For the Grand Lapland 2026 offer, trips typically organised in March, we still need to finalise the approvals and bookings. Hence these trips will be published in late May-early June. In case you might be interested also in the tours at the end of 2025. We will organise two Grand Lapland tours. Both of these should be published during next week already, or later in April.

Asked on March 11th, 2025When will December 2025 Grand Lapland Tour be available for booking?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written March 2025
My colleagues are currently working on finalising this tour. It should be available within the next weeks, during March for sure.

Lucy
Asked on February 18th, 2025What dates/months does this tour usually take place (I am interested in going around 2027)?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written February 2025
Our Grand Lapland tours are typically organised in two different departures - during the month of December and March. However, the exact offer with dates and availability to book will be programmed only approximately half a year before the trip. For now, I can not provide more details about these tours. We always plan our tours one season ahead only, as we are mostly focusing on the current season. If you are interested in our tours in 2027, please come back to check the offer during 2026.

Hannes
Asked on February 9th, 2025What should we pack for the Grand Lapland tour?

Asked on February 5th, 2025I am thinking I have enough time to find my way around and find the train to get over to the bus. I don't want to get lost and forgotten LOL
- TimetravelsOperator•Written February 2025
From the airport, there is a train which is has as a final stop Helsinki Railway station, you cannot get lost, any of the train stopping at the airport goes to the same place! This journey takes around 40 minutes. Then, from the railway station, you walk less than 5 minutes and you are at the bus stop
