  Would it be possible to book this tour exactly as it is, but with a Spanish-speaking guide? I will take care of the rest of the trip arrangements myself.
  
  I would like to secure this portion of the trip now so that it is already reserved. Please let me know if this is possible and what the additional cost would be for the Spanish-speaking guide.

  Traveler•Written August 2026
  Could you please quote this tour for the dates December 23rd to December 29th?
  
  If possible, we would prefer a Spanish-speaking guide. If that is not available, an English-speaking guide is perfectly fine.
  
  Also, please consider the best 4-star hotels available for these dates, preferably well-located, comfortable, and with good quality. Please select the best options based on availability.
  
  We would like to keep the itinerary and activities as proposed.

  Unfortunately, there is no availability in Rovaniemi for the dates requested.
