What people love about Ski, Snowboard & Snow Tours in Europe
- Semi-Private Tour; Split to Tirana 5 Balkan countries in 8 Days
Hi it was excellent very enjoy it food was lovely and the tour guide she was excellent to thank you for a lovely time
An absolutely amazing week with a great bunch of people. The staff were fantastic and enthusiastic. We had a lot of activities planned but also plenty of free time to explore as we wanted or to relax. Would strongly recommend to anyone interested in outdoor activity or wanting to push their comfort zones a bit!
Finnish Wilderness Week
- Aurora Borealis & Glass Igloo
The coordinator was very good. My only disappointment (other than not seeing the northern lights) was I had paid for a private shuttle at the end b to the airport, instead I joined several others on a bus. While it worked very well and wish I had been told it was an option I paid $60 extra for a private transfer. I have brought it up to the tour operator but not resolved.
