    Hi Christopher, Thank you for your review. We are really glad that you have had such a wonderful experience in Rovaniemi. About the clothing, we always spoke about jacket and pants, insulated boots, mittens, and a tube scarf could be provided. We never said that underwear or hats were included. At the same time, we suggested from the beginning that you should bring thermal clothes on your own as a reinforcement. We apologize if there was some misunderstanding. Kind regards, VOS

    Do you have any tours starting late August or early September 2026? And can we start from Helsinki to join this tour?

    Price / Availability
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten February 2026

      We have tours starting during that period but it is not in Lapland, but in Scandinavia. If you would like you can check our Vision of Scandinavia tour starting from Copenhagen 28th August as an example. Aurora Borealis tour has departures in December for next winter season.

    Jack

    Asked on January 8th, 2026

    the best place to see the northern lights there is up north in the areas of Inari / Ivalo / Saariselkä. I am not worried about going to the zoo. I just want to spend 2 days in the capital of laplan to all those things mentioned and then about 3/4 days up north where I can stay in an igloo, do the husky rides there etc. Is there anything like that on offer?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes, we can definitely offer something like that. We can customize the tour according to your needs. Is 21st of February 2026 your preferred arrival date or is there any flexibility regarding your travel dates? In my opinion, if you prefer to do the winter safaris up in the north of Lapland, then there is no reason to go to Rovaniemi at all. Except if visiting Santa Claus Village is on your bucket list. Skipping Rovaniemi would make your travel easier, because otherwise we need to book for you a transfer from Rovaniemi to Inari / Ivalo / Saariselkä. Approximate travel time is 4-5 hours. Would make more sense to fly directly to Ivalo Airport.

    • J

      Jack

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      My ideal situation would be to spend a couple of days at least in Rovaniemi. I want to go to Santa Claus Village - and send a letter back home, complete with an official Santa stamp, to stand north of the Arctic Circle, and get a certificate to celebrate the achievement. Reindeer & Husky sledding. Where i can get a reindeer driving license. Glass Igloo with the chance to spot the Northern Lights from your own bed. The famous 'Santa Claus Express train. snow hotel. To go into the sea in one of those survial suits. So as you can see, whilst most of what I want to do is up north. A good couple of days in Rovaniemi is needed for the other things I want to do.

    Asked on November 20th, 2025

    Which glass igloo are we going to be staying at? Cam we upgrade to 2-4 nights in the igloo instead? Or one night in an igloo with floor to ceiling glass and 3 nights in a room with glass ceilings or large Windows will be great too!

    Accommodation
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten November 2025

      The Igloo is at Santa Glass Igloo and the overnight is on the last night only. We can only ask if there is availability to add extra nights on the igloos. The first 3 nights are in Santa Hotel.

      Zoe

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      How far is the drive from the Glass Igloo to the airport? Can we get an early morning EasyJet flight? Do you offer a hotel transfer or an additional night stay?

    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten October 2025

      Getting to the airport for an early morning flight should not be an issue. The drive is between 30/45 minutes depending on the exact location. We do offer airport transfers at any time.

    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten October 2025

      A post night in an igloo is available for the departure on January 10th. The cost will be 411 euro per person (822 euro total). We will hold the reservation until Friday the 24th of October.

    Are the taxes considered? And if the trip begins from Mexico, which airline is the best to get to Finland?

    Price / Availability
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten October 2025

      Unfortunately 13th Dec is closed for sales since it is fully booked. Would you be interested in another date that is available like 10th January or 31st January? The price is final, but for the departure of 31st January I can offer you 65 Euros discount per person. You should use a flight that can bring you to Helsinki and then you can take a domestic flight or train (overnight or daytime) to Rovaniemi.

      If I have a party of 3, parents and child (10 years old), how can I select just one double room for them, so they stay together?

    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten October 2025

      Are they going to share the bed? We can add a supplement for the child as long as there is availability and possibility.

    Travel Support
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten September 2025

      We don't handle the flights. Will you be able to book those yourself? I suggest staying in Rovaniemi area and not going to Kakslauttanen as this program is too heavy. Also travelling from Saariselka to Rovaniemi by private transfer will be quite pricy.

    • R

      Roger

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Happy for your suggestions. I can handle the flights. Please share your plan.

    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperatorWritten October 2025

      Please note that overnight cabins on the Santa Express with private facilities are not available on these dates. Considering that you will be in Helsinki and Tallinn during Christmas time, most restaurants and museums will be closed.
