    Dear Lynne, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your recent tour experience. We truly appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our services and ensure that future travelers have an even better experience. We are delighted to hear that you found the hotel accommodations to be excellent and enjoyed the delicious meals. However, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the language barrier during the tour. It is our priority to provide clear communication and ensure that all guests feel included and well-informed. Your comments regarding the snowmobile instructions are noted, and we understand how crucial it is to receive accurate guidance. We will review our procedures to enhance the experience for all participants. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this part of the tour. On a positive note, we are thrilled that the husky and reindeer rides were a highlight for you. These unique experiences are what make Lapland so special, and we are glad they left a lasting impression. Regarding the extended stay at Santa Village, we apologize if it felt too long. We understand that different guests have varying preferences, and we will certainly consider offering shorter options in the future. As for the thermal clothing provided by Safartica, we apologize for any discomfort you experienced. We take your feedback seriously and will assess the quality of the items to ensure they meet our standards. Once again, thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope that despite the challenges, you still had a memorable time overall. We appreciate your honesty and look forward to making improvements based on your valuable input. All the best, V.O.S.

    Chelsea

    Asked on September 18th, 2026

    Does the Santa Claus visit include priority entry — that is, can they skip the line and go straight in to see Santa Claus if they arrive with the group, or would they have to wait in line to see him?

    Tour Details
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperator•Written September 2026

      The visit does not include priority entry. We book a spot in the queue which is then usually 30 minutes to 1 hour waiting period.

    Can you tell me when dates will be released for December 2027?

    Price / Availability
    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperator•Written August 2026

      We plan on releasing the dates in March since the hotels are only after winter high season giving us rooms for next year. It would be similar dates, but i would suggest to wait for the official release.

    Asked on August 17th, 2026

    If I book in March what's the weather like and chance to see northern lights?

      Vicki

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      I only see limited transportation to 2 activities. How about airport transfer and any other activities?

    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperator•Written August 2026

      March is one of the absolute best months to visit Rovaniemi. You get a fantastic mix of deep winter snow, milder spring temperatures, and high chances of seeing the Northern Lights. However please note that it is natural weather phenomenon and it cannot be guaranteed that you will see very strong Aurora lights but there is a higher chance in March.

    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperator•Written August 2026

      Yes, correct this is the transportation to and from the activities included in this package but not limited. There will also be a chance to hunt for Aurora lights with your tour leader on one evening. if you book any of our optional activities it will include transfers to and from the start point. We also provide airport transfers for an additional supplement. When you confirm the tour there is an option to select some additional services. You can also message us via the chat and we can add any requested services to your booking.

    • V.O.S – Vision of ScandinaviaOperator•Written August 2026

      According to our plan it would be available early 2027 (estimating February or March). It is true that usually is similar travel day although Christmas and New Year's Eve differ from the rest of the departures in order to align with the potential festivities and holidays. You are welcome to contact us if you have more questions, but I would urge you to check with us in the end of January since we might have the dates available even if they are not published.

    Asked on June 25th, 2026

    We have a traveler interested in a family trip to Finland this December to meet Santa and experience the local atmosphere. They prefer a private tour (maximum 5 days) and accommodation that can fit all five family members in one room. Additionally, they would appreciate Spanish-speaking options if available. Could you recommend a tour that fits these requirements?

      our Tour leader in the Rovaniemi winter experience speaks Spanish.
      Private tour travelling with Spanish speaking options not going to be available i am afraid that is why we have the group tour where the tour leader is there and can help them when needed if they don´t speak any English.
