- andrearG2043HB00Very bad customer serviceVery bad customer service.Booking was done 4 months in advance and had to be cancelled - only 90% refund (booking was fully paid 4 months in advance!!!). Extremely disappointing service
- 946h_l_nam00Amazing experience !We are in Lapland for 1 week and we book all our activities with Lapland Welcome. We done already 2 of them : husky safari and snowmobile driving and I had to say that we never had guide tours as wonderful as them. It’s like private experience and not with a huge group. Guides are really kind and careful. They pick you at the hotel and then arrange everything. You just have to relax and enjoy. For snowmobile we were during 4 hours only 3: my husband, the guide and me. We could appreciate all the tour. It was an amazing experience and I really recommend this company ! Thank a lot to them for that!
- mathild3_c00Great experienceGreat experience ! It was very fun to explore the forest with snowshoes and the barbecue was huge and excellent. I highly recommend it. I particularly thank our guide, Utsav, for this moment :)
- 128umesha00Adventure with SafetyThe team ensures your safety by providing essential clothing, shoes and attire.. For first timers a little more training before setting off could help.. The landscape... Tundra...is amazing... A must for all...
- wendyrP4710TN00The best part of our trip!We went on two tours with this company, the snowmobiling and the aurora tour. They were both the highlights of the trip! Maris took us out for both excursions and we all couldn't stop talking about how wonderful he was. It felt more like we were out exploring with a friend than in a customer service setting. He provided us with much knowledge about Finland and the auora, and even read our fortunes for the new year! For much of the night there were no lights in the sky but sitting around the fire cooking food with Maris was a special treat in and of itself. He was very attentive to our ever need and made efforts to continually check in with us individually to make sure we were okay. We will never forget Maris!
- rothandrea00Shocking service!It is shocking!!! We have booked 4 months in advance for Jan 2023 and already paid 300€ and now the office does not know anything about the booking! Great warning to everybody!!!
- joannemH5944JW00SnowmobileExcellent guide, Maris took his time with us so we didn't feel rushed at all. Lovely BBQ. Tons of fun. Felt safe on the snowmobiles
- boram15700Nature and GemstonesWe had a great trip to the Amethyst Mine. Our guide, Irina was amazing, very friendly and reliable. After the visit at the mine we had a nice barbecue at one of the typical finnish lavvu in front of a beautiful lake. Would highly recommend :)
- Dream72964800Different from what you can do in RovaniemiBeautiful trip in the forest north of Kemi. We crossed a lake twice, which allowed for a hint of speed as cherry on the cake. Very nice, attentionate and welcoming guide, respectful of the amazing nature around us - and of life in general. Well-kept snowmobiles and gear; we felt safe. 100% will do it again. 100% true to the advertising.
- SovakarN100helpPlease guide and suggest a family trip in early June 2023 for 14-20 days to Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Need the most scenic and memorable trip guide. Thanking you
- PhilFire00Nice guide but not sure about the companyThe guide was excellent and very good but they appear to go to the same place on this tour as that is where they have their tepee unlike other tours where we were chasing the NL. so if the NL aren't visible from that location then that's it for the night. As the guide was on his own he had to spend the time lighting the fire and preparing the food while we were outside trying to see if there was any activity so not ideal. I don't blame the guide in any way as he was very nice and helpful. I think the company are happy to take your money even if there is no chance of seeing the NL.
- FarzanCDamania00Exceptional serviceIt was a magical experience meeting Santa and crossing the Arctic Circle. The best part of it was our guide, Reetta. She is an amazing human being. She's very friendly and a genuine soul. She definitely added to the wonderful experience we had. It was like touring the magical land with a kind fairy.
- tinaz60500Amazing hikeIt was one of the most beautiful drives and hikes I’ve ever had, the scenery was surreal. Our guide Gordy (from Barcelona) was super friendly and gave us great care and attention the whole way. I would do this trip again and again. Thank you Lapland Welcome for this wonderful experience!
- dalopinto00Great addventur in wildthis tour was a beautiful experience, and luckily we saw the northern lights , even if not 100% perfect. the guide David, and his colleague were good in the instructions, in guiding us through the forest and the frozen lake. it takes energy, and a bit of strength to drive the snowmobile, but it is an experience that I recommend.we started on time, after having the thermal clothes. and in reality the tour lasted longer than expected. excellent organization of the staff...we started on time,after having the thermal clothes.and actually the tour lasted longer than expected.excellent organization of the staff.congratulations
- vak020800Absolutely top from start to fin(n)ish!Absolute top!!! The biggest thank you to Nico our guide who made our stay in Lapland even better!! Did two tours because of our great guy and were both times just the two of us with him! Absolute top organisation and we will be back for sure!! If in Lapland book with them!!

Greatest experience in Finnland. Super friendly guide. We were lucky to see Northern lights. It’s stunning.
Anyway we would again booking this tour as if you are not able to see the northern lights due to bad weather conditions you at least enjoy the snowmobile ride and BBQ in the Tipi.
Thanks so much for this trip Niko! We will never forget!

This was a great experience and I can't praise the guide, Yuka aka Yuki aka Snow Courage enough! The tour was great, he cared about safety, and it was like hanging out with a friend. When there aren't lights, they have activities and you enjoy local food cooked over fire. I highly recommend this experience and Yuka and hope to be back soon. Kittos, Yuka!

The Northern lights were present on the night
and the other tour group with this company saw them. However we did not see them and we were not told they were even there until AFTER the tour.
Be warned - this is a snowmobile tour, NOT a northern lights tour - don’t pay the extra 50 euros to think you’ll see the lights unless they’re super obvious. Our guide didn’t have a camera or know how to use our camera to see the lights, they did call the other tour group once who had not yet seen the lights and there was no correspondence between the two groups once the other group did see the lights.
They forgot to charge us, we were honest and reminded them. It was our second tour with them which states it should be a 30 euro discount - they gave us 9 euros off.
SUMMARY:
- lights were there, we didn’t know or see them despite having a good camera (weren’t told to look/take a photo)
- didn’t get the private transfer we paid for on the way back
- very poor correspondence, no detail about the tour before despite 2x calls and 3x emails
Do not do this tour - choose any other company! All we wanted was to see the lights and were super disappointed that we didn’t while they were right there!

Thank you for your story. Actually nobody saw Northern Lights that evening by naked eye. Some people got nice pictures as camera can catch the lights 100 times better than human eye. The best tour for photographing is our legendary Auroras - Northern Lights Trip by Car and on Foot. There we concentrate on lights and photographing. On snowmobile safari it is harder to make pictures but sometimes it is possible. Risk for braking expensive camera is higher on this tour.
This tour was not a private tour it was regular Northern Lights Snowmobile safari and a very good chance to see Northern Lights. We don't have camera on snowmobile safari but we share pictures from our regular tour from the same evening once requested afterwards. I see that you joined also our regular Auroras tour earlier.
If anything is missing on these tours or any other tours we are happy to refund but I don't think this is the case. The lights are unpredictable but this is the best chance to see them. We recommend joining as soon as possible and repeating if needed for seeing the lights. The second and following tours are cheaper than the first one.

I did the Tours with the Snowmobile,twice also to see the Auroras. Guide Giacomo is so friendly, knows his way around, he looks very at your safety and its fun. He also can teach you a lot, if you want. A good Guy to get to know the natural origin of the area. You don't realize it's his job as he brings fun.
