Hi Daina,

The holiday was stunning thank you and we were delighted with the service and quality throughout the whole process.

We were lucky to see the northern lights on three of our four night stay and we particularly enjoyed the night time snow mobile safari to see these.

All of the guides and hotel team were very pleasant and we met some great people.

We will certainly visit again but next time I wouldn't book cross country skiing and wouldnt stay it the glass top cabin as whilst this was a great experience we were spoilt by the

Size and quality of the other room and it’s a bit of a hassle to change room for a single night

Thank you for all your help and we look forward to booking with you again in the future!

Hello Inga,

My Finland trip was absolutely perfect. Everything went smoothly and the schedule of activities worked out so well. In particular, having the afternoon free on the day I had xc skiing in the morning, gave me the opportunity to continue skiing after lunch.

Thank you very much for your patience and assistance in booking this trip. It was a real highlight of my travels.

Happy new year and thanks again.

Hi Inga

 I just wanted to say thank you for helping me to organise such an amazing trip to Finland. I completely fell in love with Lapland - its so magical!

Everything ran very smoothly and was very well organised, thank you. The accommodation in Lapland was great with brilliant guides, lovely food and a perfect setting. I wouldn't have changed a thing about it and have already recommended the hotel to a few people.

Helsinki was also great, with the hotel being in a good location and I felt very safe walking around. I followed your recommendation and ate at Yes Yes Yes in Helsinki and would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for your organization and recommendations

Jenny

Hi Laura,

Many apologies for not replying earlier. It has been a manic time since our return.

We had a wonderful time in Finland and really big thanks for organising the extra-special anniversary gifts, they were very much appreciated.

The holiday went without a hitch - again! So thanks for the organisation. The hotel was nice, food decent and plentiful and the welcome was warm. The activities were all well organised and the guides were all good.

Regards, Emma & Julian

Hi Julija,

Thanks for following up. We had a wonderful time; the cabins were perfect and the staff were wonderful in helping us celebrate my wife’s birthday! The only glitch in the entire trip was that the dog sledding activity required much more physical exertion and strength that we (and the other participants) were expecting. Maybe this could be explained better in the future.
That aside, we won’t hesitate in recommending the Muotka Hotel and Baltic Travel to others.
