Absolutely loved every aspect of the experience. I travelled with my two sons 18 and 12 and the experience was perfectly suited for us. We were very lucky with the weather and the northern lights and that added to the joy of things. But above all else, our CEO Misel (Mikki) added an additional 5 stars to the already amazing experience. Misel's knowledge about the land, the weather, the natural phenomena, the history, economy, was exceptional and he shared it all very freely with us. Misel was patient and relaxed yet super professional and we felt very well taken care of. Cannot recommend him enough.
