Only wish we had one extra day in Tromsø to relax.

This trip covered everything I had on my bucket list — the northern lights, Santa Village, and beautiful fjords. The transfers were all private and punctual. The guides during shared tours were professional and knowledgeable. Only wish we had one extra day in Tromsø to relax. Otherwise, perfect for families or couples.

I have traveled a lot, but this itinerary gave me true Arctic adventure feelings. From reindeer sledges in Saariselkä to snowmobile safaris in Rovaniemi — every activity was well-organized. The Ice Hotel in Kiruna was surreal! I loved how the itinerary balanced activities and free time. I’ll definitely recommend it to friends who dream of seeing the aurora.
