Norther Lights Ranch is the ideal place to stay when visiting Lapland. The cabins are spacious and very well appointed with a comfortable bed. Of course, what makes the cabins special is that there are 2 glass walls and a glass ceiling so that we were able to lie in bed, warm and cozy and watch the spectacular Norther Lights! The staff is very professional and helped us in every way possible. The ranch has numerous amenities including a sauna, outdoor fireplace, indoor fireplace (in its own charming hut) and an ice chapel which serves as a bar. The restaurant offerings are on a par with fine dining in any city in the world. We absolutely adored our stay and fantasize about returning

This must be one of the most beautiful hotels in Helsinki! We really appreciated the architectural details, but that was matched by the lovely, friendly and professional staff. Everyone we spoke to was helpful and went beyond expectations. The food was excellent and plentiful. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds. Would love to return to Helsinki and stay here again

This lovely hotel located in the heart of Rovaniemi is the perfect base to use to jump into activities. The room was incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated. Our bed was comfortable. The staff is wonderful and willing to answer all our questions. Breakfast is delicious with many choices available. They also have a lovely sauna for use for an additional fee. We went to the restaurant associated with the hotel for dinner and it was truly memorable. We had the tasting menu with wine pairings.

Hotel Fabian is a charming hotel in the center of the city within walking distance to the esplanade, lovely shops, the central train station, the art museum, and the library. In other words it is perfectly situated! The front desk staff are friendly and professional. Our room was comfortable with enough room to accommodate our over-sized luggage! Our room facing the courtyard was quiet and peaceful. This is a true boutique hotel.

Wish I could give Lauri and Lazy Safari 10 stars! We had the perfect experience snowmobiling and later looking out for the aurora borealis. First snowmobiling: Lazy Santa has all the equipment you might need. Lauri was a patient and thorough instructor. The machines were all in top notch condition. We went out on beautiful trails and had the time of our lives! Later that evening we met Lauri again for sky viewing. We were lucky and had a spectacular showing of the Norther Lights. Lauri helped make it memorable by knowing all the right places to see it well, and he helped us get some amazing photos! One of the best things about Last Santa is that there were no crowds, just the two of us. It made our experience incredible to have the personalized attention that Lauri was able to give us. We are already planning to return next year!

Our guide Lauri was amazing!!! He knew all the right spots to give us the best viewing opportunities and he was able to take great photos to share with us!

What a lovely day!! This reindeer farm is 400 years old! It is set in beautiful woods. We were treated to a delightful ride in a sled pulled by a reindeer named Arvo. Arvo is owned by a 9 year old boy! Reindeer herding is a community activity and represents a deep cultural heritage. Afterwards we were treated to a warm drink, tasty pastries as we sat around a fire and were told all about the farm and how reindeer are herded in Finland. These sweet creatures are treated with respect and clearly well cared for. We had the opportunity to feed the reindeer and one even allowed us to pet him. It was a magical morning!

What an incredible day!!! Bearhill Huskies is a fantastic place to visit! We did a 45 minute dog sled ride and my husband had the time of his life mushing the dogs. Our instructor was amazing, keeping an eye on everyone and later on explaining all about the dogs. The dogs themselves are fantastic! And are treated with loving care. We got to pet them and give them reward treats at the end of our ride. We are already dreaming of returning and doing a longer run or even a solo!

Our guide, Ruslan, met us our first day in Helsinki and helped us to orient ourselves to the city, and its history. He was so informative! Everything for serious history to local hot spots and shopping. He was flexible in pacing the tour to our needs and was sure to be comprehensive giving me addresses of places to follow up on our own later. He was kind enough to share some of his personal history too, so it felt like we were walking with a friend. It was the perfect introduction to Helsinki! Thanks, Ruslan

The ferry is quite an experience as it offers duty free shopping, numerous places to eat and drink and lots of activities. Once in Tallinn we had a walking tour that covered the whole of Old Town. Our guide, Chris was incredibly knowledgable and share with us much of the history not only of the city but of the country as well. He was so flexible, helping us to find a shop our son wanted us to see. ALl in all a perfect day

This is an amazing experience! The intro talk gave us such insight into how the hotel was built and all the artistry within it. It was fantastic to walk into the rooms and see all the wonderful carvings. The Ice Bar was such fun!! The highlight, of course, is dinner in the ice restaurant. What a fun experience! Who knew I could manage a knife and fork with my gloves on😁

Lauri, our guide, was fantastic! He shared so much information with us and took us to places that were perfect to see the night sky. We were lucky and had a fantastic light show that night and Lauri helped make it memorable by taking photos!
