    We had the best time. This tour offered everything we were looking for when planning our trip. Our tour guide was good, but she did seem to google a lot of our questions but she got to where we needed to go on time. The day we flew back to Helsinki from Ivalo was kind of a wasted day. It would have been nice to have flown back the night before and had a day in Helsinki to do more exploring or go to a museum or fly back later in the day and have an excursion planned for the morning in Ivalo. The tour overall didn’t disappoint and we enjoyed every minute of it.
