- 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

- 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

Kristina
Asked on September 28th, 2025What is the level of accommodation? How many bedrooms and bathrooms? Will we have to share with others?
TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025The rooms are for 2-4 people. In most of the cottages there are 2-3 rooms. The rooms shares 1 bathroom and kitchen with living area. There is also the chance to book a private accommodation for the group but it comes at an extra cost.

Dana
Asked on September 24th, 2025Want guidance on best flight times. Have looked at some already but want best help. And wanna confirm this tour starts in helsinki ?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
About flight time, we recommend to consider arrivals at least 3 hours before the trip departure, to avoid the flight possible delay. As a traveller, I would consider one flight before. I.e. if you can book a flight arriving at 13:00 and in case of issues you have a back-up flight arriving at 18:00, that's the best scenario. Regarding return flights, please, feel-free to consider anything after 13:30. With such a schedule, we are already taking into account the foreseeable delay causes. Yes, the tour starts in Helsinki. The airport is conveniently located 30-40minutes from the departure point. The trains last station is always Helsinki central station. Therefore, any train is suitable!

Asked on September 11th, 2025Does your accommodation cater for a couple with a private bathroom
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
In our shared accommodation for 6-8 travellers we have twin rooms. However, there is no private bathroom option unless you book an entire accommodation at extra cost.

Jess
Traveler•Written September 2025Is there going to be availability on this tour in December
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
Yes, there are still a few spots available but I must recommend to act fast because the trip might sell out in the next few days.

Jess
Traveler•Written September 2025Would we make the 1930 departure. And what about clothing for the cold weather. We have never experienced this level of cold before.
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
Yes, it should be possible. Public transportation works very well in Helsinki, making the transfer to the city center smooth. i recommend planning your clothing in advance for the cold temperatures, but please note that it is also possible to rent suitable winter clothing at your destination.

Jess
Traveler•Written September 2025We are over the age restriction however we are both in the Australian Military and are fit and healthy with no physical restrictions or on any type of medication. We maintain our fitness by running, gym and cycling. Seeking a waiver urgently so I can book the 22 Dec Lapland tour in the next 24 hours before the deal concludes
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
Yes, you are very welcome to join the trip!

Asked on September 10th, 2025Could you please clarify how accommodation is arranged for single participants? Will I be paired with another traveler of the same gender in a shared room? Is there an option to book a private room by paying a single supplement?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
Our accommodations usually fit 7-14 travellers. In each accommodation the rooms have various size; mainly there are twins rooms. There might be some single room but I cannot guarantee it. 10-14 days before the trip departure, we will send you the accommodation sign-up. You can choose the accommodation to use for the trip. Then, the actual room divisions happens when all of you enter the accommodation and decide together. I'm sorry to say that we cannot pre-book a private room in the accommodations. We should book an entire accommodation for you. However, the price would be about 30-50% of the tour package value.

Jacqueline
Traveler•Written September 2025I would like to better understand how snowmobiling and skiing activities work: 1. How long does each activity last separately (snowmobiling and skiing)? 2. Are these activities done as a group with the tour or individually? 3. When do we sign up for them – before the trip or during the stay in Lapland? 4. How is the payment handled – in advance or on site?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
Snowmobile safari is planned to last 4h and cross country skiing 2h. The activities are done as a group, more the merrier!
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
After your booking the trip on TR, we will create you an order/account and you can book the activities via payment by card until 9 days before departure.

Asked on September 9th, 2025We are interested in participating in the Dec 2026 tour. How do we do that. I have a 3 years and 9 months granddaughter. Would she be able to participate?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
The trip might be a bit challenging for your granddaughter. Important! Your granddaughter must be able to use a bus seat like an adult: no seat supports are available and travelling on a family member laps is not allowed.

Elaine
Traveler•Written September 2025Can you replace the Cross Country skiing with another activity for us? Are you able to include the Snowmobile Safari to the Three Borders? Or let us know the additional cost if we are interested. Will there be a chance to see the aurora? Is this included in the tour?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written September 2025
Cross country skiing is not included in the package, but similarly to snowmobile activity, it can be purchased after your booking has been completed. The price for cross country skiing for beginners is 33€ / per customer at this point, while snowmobile activity is right now 119€ / per customer. When it comes to aurora hunt, we are not organizing a hunt per se, but those are super likely to be spotted, if you have any luck on your side!

Asked on August 27th, 2025Are we too old for this tour? We are 64 and 70. Is vegetarian food available or do we have to buy our own? Is there a November tour?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written August 2025
We welcome everybody on our trips! The age mentioned is just a guide for typical group composition. Note that this tour includes 2 nights on the bus which can be tiring. The 3 meals included are buffet-style with vegetarian options. The bus will stop at supermarkets where you can buy additional food. We don't offer this tour in November - only Christmas trip (22-29.12.2025) and New Year trip (29.12.2025-05.01.2026).

Jay
Traveler•Written August 20253. If we have flights from Rovaniemi, can we skip the night bus to Helsinki?
- TimetravelsOperator•Written August 2025
Those are bus trips, so only seats are available. We operate with shared accommodation policy, which is a great way of meeting fellow travellers. If you and your friends would like to stay in the same room, it is possible when you sign-up to the same accommodation document. Yes, you are also able to fly from Rovaniemi in order to skip the night bus. However, the price stays the same.
