Amazing trip. Great experiences and wonderful group of people.

A wonderful 5 days, the only drawback was arriving at narvic & not having time in the nearby museum as I closes at 4. Our guide was spot on & helpful , tromso was packed, obviously a very popular tourist spot. My highlight was the train ride & the huskies. Didn’t like our last town drop off, just left to wonder around, being Sunday everywhere was closed, overall great.

Fantastic tour. The right balance of trips and free time. Guide was superb.

The trip lived up to all my expectations. The hotels were good quality and all three rooms had lovely views. Both the coach and rail transfers offered amazing views. The itinerary was a good balance between activities and leisure time. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights every night.

A good winter small group tour. Delivered all that it promised and more, thanks to our excellent tour manager who accompanied us throughout, ensuring all travel and excursions went smoothly, due to his good local knowledge of our three destinations. We saw the Northern light several times, in part due to the tour managers eagle eye in spotting them. The Ice hotel was noteable for the number of superb ice sculptures that it contained, every room a revelation. The Husky sled ride was the highlight of the tour and the puppies were very cute! A highly recommended tour for those wishing to swap the usual winter sun break for a winter adventure.

Great hotels..we stayed at the Clarion Edge in Tromso..a perfect location.Great trips… really enjoyed the train travel from Narvik to Kiruna. Saw the Northern lights every evening. Everything was seamlessly organised and supported by Steve Thomas the tour guide who made sure everyone was informed and supported. As a lone traveler it was lovely to share times with a friendly bunch of people. Make sure you take crampons in the winter weather!

5 stars Sorry I don’t do reviews

Great trip, great guide, itinerary needs sorting, as the night in Narvick is a waste mainly due there's nothing open after 4pm on a Saturday.

This was a magical holiday in the Arctic Circle. Having done some of the activities before, we were still attracted by the prospect of seeing the Northern Lights, travelling on the Arctic train, and dog sledding. All of these lived up to expectations, with 2 nights of Northern Lights. I also could spend many more holidays involving reindeer, even though we didn’t get a sleigh ride this time. The train was a fabulous trip over to Sweden, with a few stops to have a leg stretch and walks in the snow, and of course photograph the spectacular scenery. However, from the holiday description, I was under the impression we were booked on the actual Arctic train, which I gather is more touristy, and has a bit more information. Being on the normal service train didn’t detract from the experience, and we had been given some history by our excellent tour guide. The Ice Hotel was an unexpectedly pleasant morning excursion, followed by the dog sled trip, made even more special by seeing the very young puppies. Our trip was enhanced even more by our excellent tour guide Elizabeth Greaves, who deserves praise for going beyond the call of duty to make the trip so special. The other person who went out of his way to ensure we had a special trip was our Estonian coach driver Simo. Nothing was too much trouble for him.. The only slight problem was the meal in the hotel in Narvic. It was another occasion where groups weren’t treated very well, and the dining room was inadequate for the numbers staying in the hotel. The other hotels were absolutely fine, with lovely meals and very helpful staff. I would suggest that the walk into the new town of Kiruna takes about an hour, rather than the advertised 15 minutes, which is the length of time taken to reach the nearest facilities, including Sami street food served in a tent. If you are used to a warm winter holiday, try the snow for a change. It’s like being in a fairytale.
