Do you do this tour in December close to Christmas?

We do have this tour from beginning of December to March. We have not published the new dates for 2026-7 but it will be done by next month.

Do you have tours with available spots for two people? Destination Laponia.

We have availability for few departures for our Rovaniemi Winter Experience. 28th February, 7th March and 14th March with multilingual tour leader (English/Spanish/Italian/French).

can you advise whether I'd be ok in waterproof walking shoes or should invest in snow boots

We offer winter gear package that includes the boots, overalls, and gloves, in case you prefer to rent from us instead of buying. Please note that we have limited availability for 28th February and 7th March, but I can offer 100 Euros discount if you choose our last departure of 14th March for Rovaniemi Winter Experience.

Interested in this tour for December

We have not released yet the dates for 2026 December. Please check back with us in March.

I wanted to ask if there is any possibility that a space might become available at the beginning of December 2026. Please let me know.

The new dates and rates will be updated in the platform earliest in March. You are welcome to keep an eye and join one of our tours.

What dinner options are included and what is on our own expense? Can we do an optional trip on day 2 to view the northern lights in addition to the one planned on day 3?

We could arrange an extra aurora borealis hunting for you. There is a dinner on the last night at Igloo. That is the only meal included.

Are Northern lights visible in November? Is this trip operated in Spanish?

The prime viewing season for Northern lights is from late August to early April, with peak months being December through March. The tour guide will speak 4 languages: Spanish, Italian, French and English. Most activities are run in English.

Can you curate a trip to Lapland, Rovaniemi, Helsinki and Talinn from 20th Dec and to 26th December

my target price per person is between 2500 to 2800 EUR per person

What is the cost of the extras for this tour AND also for the "Aurora Borealis & Glass Igoo" tour? Is there a single supplement on these two tours or do you offer roomshares? If a supplement, what is the cost for each?

there is a single supplement as we don't do roomshares. You can see the rates for the supplement on each dates as they differ and the extra costs when you choose a departure date.

Would it be possible to have this same trip to start on 23rd dec and end on 28th?

Unfortunately we do not have reservations on 23rd Dec. We will need to quote based on rates from hotel and suppliers if there is availability. Our 22nd December departure is almost full in case you want to change your arrival date and then add some extra nights.

Great and knowledgeable tour guide. Was very helpful when activities were canceled and changed by the weather. I would add that I did not know there would be families on the tour with children under 10. There was tears/ tantrums/loud during talks/instructions ect with some of the children and as a solo traveller I was getting a bit frustrated. A group meal would be recommended to help break ice ect. I would also swap the snowmobiling and make that an optional activityShow more

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.Show more

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.

This tour was great to have everything booked for you and have all your travel organised to get to activities on time. Unfortunately though, we were put with a French tour group even though we though we were booking an English speaking tour, and we weren't told about this prior to meeting the group. So day 2 meeting in the lobby for the first time and seeing a whole group that couldn't speak English was very confusing for us. Our tour guide Alain was amazing, so friendly and helpful, and once he knew we spoke English, he would translate for us and tell the other operators to speak to us in English. But it was still disappointing as we were unable to mix with the group and make friends as we weren't able to communicate to each other. Also after being there, I feel that catching buses and organising your own activities probably would have been the cheaper option. The activities in this tour were great to enjoy rovaniemi in the winter time though.Show more

Dear Emily, Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed this tour and that you were satisfied with our tour leader. We are sorry to hear that you felt confused in the group. Please note that this tour is multilingual, and it happened just by chance that mainly French-speaking clients booked this particular departure. Please let us know, if you would like to explore any other destination through us. We would be happy to assist you. Have a great day! Viktoria V.O.S Destination Management
