Fantastic experience: Very helpful
Fantastic experience: Thank you Claudia for organising our recent trip to Italy (especially wonderful Bellagio, Lake Como), Croatia and our cruise from Split to Dubrovnik also our cruise on the Danube/Rhine from Cologne to Budapest. We enjoyed flying with Finn Air and upgrading to the Comfort Seats, (premium economy), only $150 extra per section, which gave us more leg room, noise cancelling earphones amoung other goodies. Although we had a couple of technical hickups, our transfers and tours were well organised by Claudia.
Fantastic experience: Claudia made the Finnish Lapland trip happen with ease. She also organised a “get together “ weeks prior to departure where we received our travel itineraries and answered questions. In this pack you also got a SIM card for use while in Finland. It is a different experience and very much weather dependent so the daily activities listed may alter some however Claudia makes sure you get to do and see MOST eventually! The Aurora Borealis is elusive, and is one Claudia cannot control! The accommodation was fabulous and very cosy. Transportation while on the tour reliable and....you get taken to the Pyhätunturi village for a spot of grocery shopping if you are staying in the self contained cottages the afternoon you arrive. One really noteworthy thing is getting your boots and outer gear wear once at your destination as it saves on travel bag weight and space. Thank you Claudia, Sami and Kari for such a wonderful experience!
