    A review of Jeris - Festive Family Fun in a Winter Cottage by The Stone Family
    15 December 2019

    Thank you for a brilliant holiday. It was by far our favourite part of our visit to Europe. We loved all the activities and the people were so friendly and accommodating. Greta and Jenny were fantastic - they couldn't do enough to ensure that we had the best time. It was such a different experience to any other travel we have undertaken - it honestly felt like we were in a magical fairytale or

    movie set. It was so beautiful. I'm not sure that we could pick the most enjoyable because we loved everything. Highlights - For me - Northern Lights (bucket list item), snow mobiles, dog sled, reindeer sled and meeting Santa. We also loved the ice restaurant.

    Anyone thinking about going to Lapland just go. The whole experience was truly magical from the very beginning and the Finnish people are so lovely. The Gulo Gulo Holiday village was amazing

  • A perfect holiday

    13 December 2019

    Please pass on my thanks to everyone I spoke with throughout the process – we felt we received excellent recommendations and advice and we had a perfect holiday. Customer service in the UK has slipped recently but you are a company who ‘bucked the trend’ and excelled. My only complaint is that this was meant to me a once in a lifetime holiday and now my wife is looking to book again…!

  • Anyone even contemplating whether or not to go... just do it. An experience you will never forget

    A review of Ranua - Festive Family Adventure by The Hyatt Family
    13 December 2019

    Wow! What can I say. A truly amazing experience that I will never forget. We booked for 3 nights and tried to do as much as possible. The accommodation was fantastic and to use the saunas is a must. There was lots of snow and my daughter insisted on being pulled everywhere on a sledge even round the Wildlife park. We went in search of the Northern lights being pulled on a sleigh by a Finn horse

    and spending 2 hours in the forest at night by a campfire. We had a sleigh ride with the Reindeer and also managed to fit in 2 hours of steering the Huskies on a sledge. The secret visit to Santa was magical but that's all I'm going to say as I promised him not to give too much away??

    A review of Muotka - Activity Pick and Mix by The Rayner-Giannone Family
    12 December 2019

    This is our second time of visiting Wilderness Hotel in Muotka, and it didn’t disappoint this time. The staff are so welcoming, the guides so incredibly helpful, understanding, and always go that extra mile. The activities on offer were really good, and kept 2 60 year olds and 10 year old twins, happy each day! It was just the most relaxing 3 days I’ve spent for years, if ever. I will

We all loved the Snowmobile

    trip to the Reindeer Farm. The Husky dog trip was epic too. We enjoyed the Finn horse safari across a frozen lake in the dark very atmospheric. We also had a wild night safari into the Zoo which was great we had a guide take us around for two hours looking for nighttime activity. In terms of the overall experience, we had a brilliant time. Brilliant would not hesitate to recommend.

    09 December 2019

    The activities were just perfect. Our kids loved them. Staff at a Holiday Village Gulo Gulo were fab. So friendly especially the French guy who’s name I can’t remember, went over and above to help me find the phone I'd lost in the snow!

    08 December 2019

    People so friendly and was a totally magical experience. Very hard to pick just one activity..all enjoyable for different reasons and so very enjoyable for all our family. The Santa visit was done so incredibly well I think it had to be one of the highlights, having 2 6 year olds and even as adults, the journey and surprise of finding the cabin and having Santa knowing all about the children and
