Great week tour of the Balkans! Our guide Ana was fantastic and an amazing driver also. We learned a lot, had comfortable 3 star lodgings that seemed deluxe in some cases. The only thing to take note of is that there is a lot of driving as the distance between locations is not close and also some border crossings can take a long time to cross. Both of these points being out of control of the tour operator. A note to Tour Radar. In your description there are places which indicate that breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. You should change this to just breakfast to have everything aline in your document.

Alain was our tour guide and he sets the bar high for future guided tours - the Aurora tour was perfectly planned and he had everything prepared for every day which made it so easy for us to enjoy every moment of our trip stress free and without any worry, many thanks to Alain for a wonderful experience in Finland. I think our favorite part of the tour was the Husky Safari and the Glass Igloo. Playing with the husky dogs and later seeing the northern lights was spectacular! While at the the Scandic hotel, everything was clean and comfortable, the restaurant served a great breakfast, and staff were helpful and friendly. I absolutely recommend this tour and look forward to our next adventure in Finland!

Lynne • traveled in February
Overall the tour was good. we paid to update our room as we wanted a view of the river. The hotel was very good, meals were excellent. We booked an ENGLISH speaking tour. Aurora our guide did speak english but because there were 34 of the 36 people in our group did not. there were 18 spanish and 17 french speaking only! So had no opportunity to converse with others on our tour. At times we felt left out and lonely. we were very disappointed with this aspect of the tour. Especially when it came to instructions with snow mobile, didn't get to hear any english, so my confidence was low and ended up stopping after a short while , and not driving snow mobile, but got in sleigh pulled by Instructor. The husky and reindeer rides were fantastic , the highlight of our trip. The farms were interesting and well kept. The 5 hrs dropped off at Santa Village was too long . we ended up finding our bus and sitting there for an hour or so. Would have nice to be given option of a shorted time. The thermal clothing at Safartica was poor. The items were very used and not at all comfortable. I only ended up using the overalls, and my own boots, balaclava, socks, scarf and mittens. I would not recommend them. Over all we had a great time , but unsure if we would recommend the tour with others.
