Nordic Lapland birthday/family adventure that did not disappoint
Finland
|
Feb 9 - Feb 22, 2026
Everyone we met, including our drivers were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were driven around towards the end of the trip by Hamid from Afghanistan and he was a delight. Another driver that we had in Finland, who took us to Sena was I believe he spells his name TOME but I could be wrong. The activities that were set up for us were great and the people affiliated with each activity were also exceptional. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the food and meeting the local people in each destination. All of my family also recognizes that we did not plan this trip until only a few weeks before and I know that complicated Emerson‘s job trying to coordinate everything and lineup accommodations and activities so he deserves special credit. At the end of the trip, during our stay in Tromse there was apparently a mixup with our two rooms in the hotel that I had hoped would have been resolved differently, but other than that, no issues or problems during our two week adventure in Finland and in Norway. I would strongly recommend Emerson of Kim Kim for trip planning especially in Scandinavian countries. Thank you.
Hotel Review
Food was excellent, and the staff were very nice and helpful. However, of the accommodation needs upgrading. The mattresses on the beds were too soft and probably very old . They could use more shelf space. had for sure better beds. That said, anyone reading this review who does not know the island of Senja must realize how tall it is, and further understand, retaining the charm of the old buildings.
