      The minimum age is 4 years accompanied by an adult - I will check if we can make an exception.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten September 2024

      Our team advised it would be ok if we welcome your family based on the age of the child; however, December 20th is sold out. That would be our last available date in December. I'm checking for 18 or 19th of December. Would either of those dates work?

    Is the visit of the reindeer farm and the huskys already included in the price or are these additional costs incurred on site?

    Price / Availability

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten December 2022

    Could we rent the outers, gloves and so on for the arctic in the hotel?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten November 2022

      Unfortunately, I don't believe the hotels have the option for you to rent cold-weather clothing. We do mention it in our Trip Notes that you should pack your own gloves, warm coats, and windbreakers so I don't believe there is an option to rent locally.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten November 2022

      The new price is EUR 1235.10 per person with these changes, totaling EUR 2470.20 for both travelers.
