    Olga

    Asked on December 10th, 2024

    Is there availability for the same tour for December 2025? If such a case is available could you please give a breakdown of what would be included? Their budget is around $2,000 -$2,500 USD per person so if you have any other option I will definitely share it with them.

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten December 2024

      We will be running our Christmas in Finland itinerary for next year, however we are still waiting on pricing and dates. We will hopefully have these out in the next couple of months. Assuming that the itinerary doesnt change at all we will include the below:

      Included
      - 5 nights at the Hotel Kalevala (3 star)
      - 5 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 5 dinners (inclusive of a Christmas Eve Traditional Gala Dinner)
      - Welcome drink
      - Arrival and departure transfer from Kajaani airport on days 1 and 6
      - Visit to Santa Claus at his local home
      - Journey to collect the Christmas tree to bring to the restaurant for the children to decorate
      - Leisure Snowshoe tour with wilderness guide (approx. 1 hour)
      -Free use of kick-sledges, toboggans, DVDs, Playstation2 and Nintendo WII games, Wi-Fi and board games
      - Daily evening saunas and jacuzzis

      Not Included
      - Items of a personal nature and additional meals
      - International flights to/from our tour start/end points and visas
      - Tipping - An entirely personal gesture
      - Optional excursions

      Typically we see a 5-10% increase on price year on year so clients would be looking at a starting from price of around USD$2200 per person twin/double share.

    Tracy

    Asked on October 11th, 2024

    Is December 22 the definite date the tour starts? We will be coming from Chicago and are having an extremely hard time finding flights to Finland. There are so few that this is where my struggle is aligning a trip with a tour.

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten October 2024

      Yes the 22nd is the definite start date for this particular tour. If there is another date that works better for you, I could see if there are any similar tours that would work for you (though this is our only specifically Christmas themed one).

      Our Christmas in Finland – 6 days tour offers an unforgettable holiday experience in the magical landscapes of Lapland. You'll spend the festive season in a true winter wonderland, with the opportunity to meet Santa Claus, explore snowy forests, and even take a thrilling reindeer or husky sled ride. Stay in cozy accommodation, soak in the enchanting Northern Lights, and enjoy a traditional Finnish Christmas dinner. This tour is perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking for a unique and memorable Christmas celebration in the Arctic Circle.

      With our Best Price Guarantee, you're getting the best value for this magical adventure, and our 24/7 customer support is here to ensure a smooth and stress-free trip.

    Asked on July 26th, 2022

    Is there a possibility to see the northern lights? Do you have any flight recommendations?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten July 2022

      In northern Kainuu and northern Lapland, you can see the northern lights from Kuhmo in Tohmajärvi at Lake Pielinen, so there is a chance that you might see the lights while you are on this trip.
