This was an amazing tour! We travelled by various means from Helsinki to Tallin,Estonia to Honningsvag ( North Cape) to Narvik by coach and train then flew to Oslo. Highlights were travelling on an icebreaker ,floating in the ice in a thermal suit,snowmobiles,dogsledding,visting Santa Claus's village ,staying in an igloo to view the Northern Lights. Visiting museums,learning more about the Sami.
The scenery was amazingly beautiful and we counted sea eagles ,moose and reindeers. By coach we had a double seat each which makes it very comfortable.
It was expensive in every way. Wine especially!! The hotel rooms were small and basic which is fine, as very clean. The Scandinavians are very friendly and all speak English
Some people arranged to go skiing,others fishing.
The tour was especially marvellous due to our great guide Heidi Hem from Norway and in Oslo, Igori. Oslo was full of interest visit so wished I had added another couple of days.
The tour could be extended to Iceland too and judging by the photos lived up to expectations
I would thoroughly recommend these tours to everyone. It went like a dream!
One definitely needs snow boots!!
