      Is there any other similar tour like the one I mentioned earlier? We would be interested in visiting Swedish and Finnish Lapland for Northern Lights and Polar Nights.

      We don't have a specific tour focused solely on Lapland, but I recommend our Capitals of Scandinavia tour. It's a 10-day adventure through Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, offering a comprehensive exploration of Nordic countries.
