    Once again, we felt well looked after, from the planning and booking to the app and the implementation. We had a very nice hotel and wonderful excursions. Questions were answered quickly. We are happy to recommend TourRadar.

    The itinerary was very practical noting the harshness of the weather. The program and activities were well planned. Though, we did not see the Northern Lights, all the other activities exceeded my expectations. A great experience. Aurora, our VOS guide was extremely helpful, especially in sorting out and in coping with my delayed baggage & delayed flight.

    This tour was great to have everything booked for you and have all your travel organised to get to activities on time. Unfortunately though, we were put with a French tour group even though we though we were booking an English speaking tour, and we weren't told about this prior to meeting the group. So day 2 meeting in the lobby for the first time and seeing a whole group that couldn't speak English was very confusing for us. Our tour guide Alain was amazing, so friendly and helpful, and once he knew we spoke English, he would translate for us and tell the other operators to speak to us in English. But it was still disappointing as we were unable to mix with the group and make friends as we weren't able to communicate to each other. Also after being there, I feel that catching buses and organising your own activities probably would have been the cheaper option. The activities in this tour were great to enjoy rovaniemi in the winter time though.

      we can help you arrange a tour. you would like to go to Finnish Lapland - close to Santa Village. you can see the Northern Lights, participate on husky safari, reindeer safari, snowmobile safari, snowshoeing, ice fishing, stay at a glass igloo. There are no natural thermal pools in this area. I recommend booking a traditional Finnish sauna session. If you are looking for thermal pools and ice caves, then Iceland is your perfect destination.

      Unfortunately, we are sold out on 7th of December. The earliest we have available is 18th January. if you want a diy we need to plan it for later. Our tailor made department for Individual travelers is overwhelmed with requests and I don't think they can prepare something for you in short notice. You are welcome to book one of our tours or ask any other question you might have.
