Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!

Summer is great — but what if you could add a little Christmas magic to it? Pack up the family and head to Finland, where holiday cheer shines bright even under the midnight sun.

In Rovaniemi — Santa’s official hometown — you’ll visit his village, meet his reindeer and huskies, and soak up the magic of Lapland in the glow of the endless summer light. With hands-on activities, festive fun, and lots of wide-eyed wonder, this six-day adventure brings your family into the heart of a real-life winter wonderland… in the middle of summer.
