    Alain was our tour guide and he sets the bar high for future guided tours - the Aurora tour was perfectly planned and he had everything prepared for every day which made it so easy for us to enjoy every moment of our trip stress free and without any worry, many thanks to Alain for a wonderful experience in Finland. I think our favorite part of the tour was the Husky Safari and the Glass Igloo. Playing with the husky dogs and later seeing the northern lights was spectacular! While at the the Scandic hotel, everything was clean and comfortable, the restaurant served a great breakfast, and staff were helpful and friendly. I absolutely recommend this tour and look forward to our next adventure in Finland!

    Everything was great. Guide was good too, although he can work on understanding and respecting personal spaces.

    We are not normally ones for guided holidays preferring to self explore. However, when this holiday arose we decided to give it a go. A planned holiday in 2021 for our 60th was prevented by COVID. Oh, how we are glad we did. This was the holiday of a lifetime made even better by the unbeatable Alain. From the moment we arrived at our first hotel to helping us checking in at the airport he was a gem. Feels like leaving a friend behind. Trips and tours were exceptional and organised by Alain in such a way to take away any stress or unanswered questions. And how many languages can he speak! In addition trips provided all the time you could want to self explore and discover for yourselves. This has been a dream and full credit to VOS. Already looking at Greenland! Thank you so much

    It was an amazing tour. The itinerary was very good, but not too much, so you have time to book extra tours if you like, or just enjoy the city. Our guide, Alain, was great. He was so dedicated that we felt we were in good hands at all times. Thank you Alain! I definitely recommend the tour.

    Alain was an amazing tour leader. So knowledgeable in facts and multiple languages. Hotels were great, Igloo did not disappoint. Shame the lights weren't a little stronger!

    Our tour was excellent. Our guide, Alain, was exceptional. He handled a group that spoke 4 different languages with ease and made sure everyone was informed.the accommodations and planned activities were great. My only negative recommend would be having to check out of our hotel in Rovaniemi at noon and not leaving for the glass igloo until 1700. That’s a lot of dead time in a small town. A later check out, a planned activity, or an earlier arrival at the igloos would have worked better.

    Excellent trip, had a wonderful time. Could not fault one thing. Our tour guide Alain went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly. I would also like to thank Giuliana and co workers at head office for their promptness and attention to detail for making this a trip to remember. Thank you all. Anne
