Scandinavia Northern lights Trips

Enjoyed the magnificent views throughout the tour. Very knowledgeable tour director and reliable drivers made the trip an exceptional great experience! Appreciate our tour director took ice pictures and shared with us, so that we didn’t miss out when sitting in the back of the bus.

Good itinerary and good food. Hotel generally good only two hotels wasn’t up to 4 star standard. The team from Trafrager TD and drivers were fantastic which made the trip a great experience.

It was an awesome tour! I would do it all over again. Our tour director was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. I could tell that he loves what he does. He and both drivers did a marvelous job.

The tour guide was personable and so informative. She enhanced our trip experience with cultural anecdotes and superb understanding of the environments of our tour. She kept us organized and safe. Nancy was enthusiastic and very caring. She is also innovative and creative. The accommodations were lovely. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The food was excellent in Helsinki. The breakfasts and lunches were good in Lapland and dinners were excellent. The visit with Santa was bizarre, unnerving and unpleasant. Really. You must evaluate that whole premise. The planetarium visit should have been part of the package. Visiting the art center and gift shop was powerful. Again, Nancy educated us on the lore and the realities of the Sami people and made the experience that much richer. The lecture/talk in the teepee/hut about the reindeer was fascinating. I especially enjoyed hearing the wrangler speak so knowledgeably and lovingly about the reindeer. The reindeer sleigh ride (and visiting the reindeer)was so beautiful. Chasing the northern lights was worthy of the effort though we didn't happen to see them. It was lovely to be "in nature." Mushing the dog sled team was wonderful but oh so scary. I had to speak more than once to the staff about airline flights. The second person in each instance was understanding and nice and accommodating. I have to look at my own behavior as perhaps not being helpful? on the first go- round? However, the address was wrong and I did not have an updated ticket to work with. I explained that I am an inexperienced traveler and her explanation of " just go to the counter" was not reassuring. The second agent reinforced the "go to the counter AND also sent me an email with the updated info. I was reassured. She also corrected the address for the Uber driver. None of the seat assignments matched my preferences; however, I believe that you did the best you could possibly do on those full flights, and I was happy to be inside the plane! I had a wonderful time on the trip. I don't want these minor hiccups to overshadow the enormity of the joy and pleasure associated with this trip to Finland. I recommend it whole-heartedly.

The tour hit all of the popular highlights of The Golden Circle and I always felt like I had enough time to enjoy each one. Our tour guide was well organized and full of information about Iceland's history and culture. Of course the highlight was the Northern Lights and they didn't disappoint. There's no guarantee we would see them and it took more than one attempt. But I love that there were multiple "hunting" opportunities built into the schedule. It was well worth the cold weather you'll encounter in late March.

Tour guide outstanding! We didn't see the northern lights but we saw so much. Middle hotels was ok. Recommend wash cloths. Bartender was incredible. Good trip, wonderful time
