We did not see Northern lights, guess we weren’t lucky with the night, but I don’t put it on the organizer. We also had an issue with pick up time. It was at 7pm, they came at 6pm and called us at 6.30pm saying that they had been waiting since 6pm… we ended up rushing through dinner to make the full program, and they should have communicated better if they were planning to change pick up time, but organizer managed…”

“Very Disappointing Experience We booked the Snowmobile Safari to the Arctic Snow Hotel in Rovaniemi (2 adults, 2 teenagers, around €1000). Shortly before the tour, my husband had a severe allergic reaction and had to be taken urgently to the hospital. It was a genuine medical emergency beyond our control. I went to the meeting point at the scheduled time to explain the situation and politely asked to reschedule within the next four days of our stay the same or any other available tour. The company showed zero flexibility or empathy and refused any alternative solution. For such an expensive activity, we expected basic understanding and customer care. Instead, we…”
