“Just to say an enormous thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable trip.
It was utterly magical and one none of us will ever forget. For me, the highlight was driving huskies through the trees as snowflakes floated down on Christmas day.
Equally the faster paced snowmobile safari was fantastic fun and all the Father Christmas events were run sensitively and with flair.
Most importantly thank you for looking after us all with such good humour, tolerance and helpfulness.
We would certainly recommend a trip to Lapland to others and in the next breath Emagine.
With many, many thanks from us all for giving us such a wonderful time and so many unforgettable memories, we may well have to come back !”
Very best wishes,
The Read-Ward Family, Dorset
“We just got home from our 4 day stay at the Hotel Syote Keskus, we all had an absolutely magical time and I really just want to say thank you all for making it possible. The holiday sounded fantastic on paper but the reality far outweighed any expectation, the entire holiday was so very well planned and organised.
All the delightful little attention to detail is spot on and they made a fantastic time even better.
Thank you all so much, this once in a lifetime trip was everything I wished it to be and much much more, so much so that I feel the need to try and make it a twice in a lifetime event, best start planning for a few years hence.
Kind regards,
Ruth McLaughlin, Mexborough, South Yorkshire
“We wanted to send you an email now we are back in Australia to pass on our thanks for our trip to Harriniva in December. Your assistance prior to booking over the email was fantastic always answering any questions we asked. The trip itself exceeded our expectations of the tour and we realised the children were always going to get a lot from this trip but Paul, myself and his mother have never had such a great time together in 11 years.
We will certainly be recommending this trip to any family that may be looking to going to Finland as 5 star and great value.
Kind regards,
Melanie and Paul Hermanns.

“Our grandchildren travelled from Bermuda for this holiday and said it was their best holiday even better than Disney World.
It was all wonderful”,
Mrs G Exon, Elloughton Brough, East Yorkshire
“Just a quick note to say thank you for such a wonderful holiday !
With a trip like this, one builds it up so much that it can never hope to live up to expectations, but this trip absolutely did and we were not disappointed in any way.
Everything was so well organised, relaxed and friendly.
Many thanks and hope to see you again when our youngest is older.
Sonia, Tony, Joe, Megan and Elizabeth Peloe. Cambridge

Thank you”,
Paul Wallis, Swansea, South Wales
“I have been on a great deal of holidays in my lifetime all over the world literally and I have never written to a holiday company before but I just had to on this occasion to say thank you for a wonderful trip.
Your company was fantastic throughout our holiday and your reps are true gems, they could not have done any more for us. We did things I would never have imagined possible on such a short break, well worth it.
You have a great company and set up and I have to say that the way our holiday was organised was superb.
Thanks again,
Steve Heap. Douglas Isle of Man
“Having just returned from Lapland last night, I just wanted to thank you for a fabulous weekend. From the first moment we checked in at Gatwick to the final departure, everything was really well done. The children adored the experience and couldn’t wait to tell their friends, we all enjoyed the well-planned itinerary, but particular praise must go to your tour guides.
Attention to detail and the little things that make the difference are especially important, and you certainly excelled !
We will certainly recommend Emagine to anyone who wants an authentic, child friendly, action packed and exhilarating taste of Lapland at Christmas.
Thank you again,
Jeremy and Liz Wilcock, Annie and Madi, Driffield, East Yorkshire
“There are no words to express the wonderful memories you have given us.
We wanted a natural not “tacky” Santa experience. You gave us an unbelievable experience never to be forgotten..
Magical, thank you”,
Mrs Aisha Ahmed, Belbroughton, West Midlands
“Just to say well done again on arranging an excellent trip to Saariselka, but as I said your brochure should include the following:-
Christmas in Saariselka with Emagine is not dangerous; however it may prove addictive and hence injurious to your wealth !!
Very best wishes to you and the team,
Chris Shire and Family (Third time with you in Lapland), Bath, Somerset
“Absolutely magical, our best experience ever.
Made very welcome by all the Emagine team and felt like they were part of our family, the best reps on any holiday we have had.
A magical holiday”,
Sheena Ashton, Attleborough, Norfolk
“Just wanted to thank you for a magical holiday.
We travelled with you 5 years ago and recommended you to 10 others in our party and our whole experience again was fantastic. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves, in one word they described it as “magical”.
Everything from the hotel to the safari’s to the food and Santa were exceptional.
Thank you for making our Christmas special, to see the children’s faces enjoying the snow, huskies and meeting Santa was worth every penny.
We have recommended you to people and will continue too as there is no other company as good as yourselves.
Thank you,
Julie Russell,
Shorwell,
Isle of Wight
“We chose you last year – Fantastic ! so we had to do it all again this year.

A great holiday for all the family.
Brilliant”,
Nicholas Ashworth, Beckingham, Lincolnshire
“ I am writing to tell you about the holiday that we have recently returned from.
We have been on many package holidays over the years and I even used to be a travel agent so have been dealing with travel companies for many years. In this time I have never come across such a professional and fun tour operator as Emagine.
At first I was a little worried as I had never heard of you, but I speak as I find and I could not fault you in any way. The staff in the resort from the moment we arrived until the moment we left were amazing. They could not do enough to please us.
Advice, recommendations, experience with children it was second to none.
The activities were excellent and each day was planned to perfection, the holiday was very natural and not commercialised at all. We did think it could be a bit unrealistic and tacky, but this was not the case at all, it was perfect.
You have given us unforgettable memories
With much thanks,
The Adams family, Whitminster, Gloucestershire
“Myself, my husband and our 8 year old daughter have just returned from a 4 day trip to Lapland. I am writing to thank everyone at Emagine for a fantastic holiday, our best ever. Everyone in Lapland was so kind and helpful, a big thank you to all the Emagine staff.
The organisation and daily trips were excellent and seeing Father Christmas, what can I say! fantastic.
We all enjoyed every minute and didn’t want to come home. It was an amazing experience and one we would love to repeat.
Thanks to everyone”
Sandra Teeley, Millom, Cumbria

Thank you for a fab time”
Gill Davies, Hereford
“I did just want to thank everyone for making sure we had such a fabulous holiday in Lapland It more than lived up to our expectations – in fact the only surprise for me was that I think my husband and I enjoyed it at least as much as the children. It was such an amazing experience.
Every little detail had been thought out, and although we’re probably quite demanding, we really couldn’t find anything to fault in this trip, I’d recommend it to anyone, whatever age.
We’ve come back with some superb family memories – so many thanks to you and the team in Lapland.
Best wishes
Debra Davidson-Smith, Buckhurst Hill, Essex
“This is just to say thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful holiday.
We went the weekend before Christmas and had a wonderful time. Fantastically helpful staff who seemed to be around anywhere and any time if you had a query, very very well organised activities, wonderful kids club, delicious food and really good warm clothing.
Thanks for a wonderful-memorable time-we all enjoyed it hugely”
Katie, Andrew & Olivia Balfour, Charlton on Otmoor, Oxfordshire

“I went to Gatwick airport on Saturday evening to meet my son and grandson after their day visit to Lapland. It was a once in a lifetime treat for them and I was anxious to hear how their day had been. I was thrilled to hear that it had been better than they could ever have dreamt of, I don’t know who enjoyed it more my son or my 6 year old grandson ! My son said that the organisation, the people, the activities, the scenery, Father Christmas – everything was just excellent. He was bowled over by the personal care and attention they had received- nothing was rushed and nothing was too much trouble.
We were personally recommended to Emagine by friends who went last year and I shall be recommending it to everyone, thank you for making it such a magical day.
I agonised over whether I could afford it – but there are some things in life you just cant put a price on – and this was one of them
Thanks again”
Jo Goldsmith, West Norwood, London SE 27
“Myself, my wife and 7 year old daughter have just returned following our stay over Christmas. This was a truly magical time and one that we will never forget, the activities and facilities were first class. The whole holiday was very well organised with a high level of attention to detail.
This was a superb and fabulous way to spend Christmas and a problem of how to better it next year !
Thank you once again”
Robin, Sian and Eloise Grundy, Raglan, Monmouthshire
“My mother, five year old daughter and I returned last night from an excellent holiday and I just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with every aspect of the tour.
As a frequent independent traveller, it is not often that I would take the time to write to a tour operator, as I would expect to get what I had paid for but in your case, the reps in the resort went well beyond the call of duty to make things run smoothly and make this a magical time for the children.
I would like to thank you once again for a marvellous once in a lifetime experience.”
Mrs T Hill, Ashford, Kent
“We were a party of six (two families) who travelled to Lapland recently with Emagine. My husband has never had to arrange a “package type” holiday before but he was absolutely delighted with the organisation and efficiency of the Emagine staff on our day. We had a lovely, magical day and I would not normally write back to any travel company but on this occasion I just felt I had to put pen to paper.
We had a lovely experience and I am sure we will want to go again. It was also lovely that we were not mixing with any other tour companies or visiting over commercial area’s.
Thank you again”
Mrs L Bobrowski, Woking, Surrey
“ Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip !
My family and I were in Lapland from the 12th-15th December and had a truly magical and wonderful time. The Emagine team were amazing, they made you feel comfortable and at home. The whole holiday was unforgettable and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I truly believe that everyone should experience Lapland and all its beauty.
Thank you so much again,
Janine Long and family, Ilford, Essex
“Having just returned from four days in Saariselka with my family, I felt I must put pen to paper, to say how truly wonderful we found the whole experience: it was just magical and exceeded our expectations-the destination itself was idyllic, the accommodation and facilities were brilliant, the food was excellent, and it seemed that Emagine had thought of everything and planned down to the last detail.
We had such an amazing time and I’m sure it was due to your company’s careful planning and attention to detail
Thank you”
Beryl Brotherhood,
Verwood,
Dorset
“May I take this opportunity to express my gratitude. We took our granddaughters on your day trip to meet Santa Claus in Lapland, the whole experience was wonderful and I have no doubts that it will remain with them both for the rest of their lives.
The care that your people took in ensuring that we enjoyed ourselves was beyond belief, from Gatwick to Gatwick
Thank you Emagine”
Geoff Heal, Fareham, Hampshire
“Just wanted to drop you a note to say a big “THANKS” for our Christmas holiday in Saariselka. We were concerned when we booked as the cost for a 5 night holiday was high – however all I can say is the holiday was fantastic and certainly worth the expense.
The hotel, the resort and facilities were fantastic – the children’s faces were a delight at seeing the “real” Father Christmas. All in all it was a truly great holiday and one final thing the Emagine staff were superb !
Thanks”
Lynne, Neil, Emma & Elliott Gowling, Coventry

The visit was incredibly well organised with lots of staff who knew exactly what they were doing and made the whole experience run so smoothly. The location for all the activities was magical and there was no feeling of commercialism at all.
The are many companies who organise such trips and we chose you on recommendation from a relative, this recommendation was well deserved
With kind regards”
Alison & Julian Marlow, Daventry, Northants
“Following our visit to Ivalo for a Santa day visit, I would like to put pen to paper to say how much our family enjoyed the trip. Everything was very well organised from the initial booking right throughout the day and the organisation of the whole day was fautless.
Thank you for providing us with a day we wont forget !!!”
Catie Bowen, Wiswell, Lancs

Fantastic”
Karen Squires, Little Bowden, Leicestershire

Paula Waterhouse, Hexham, Northumberland
“Our family of 4 went on a 5 night trip over Xmas and I just wanted to let you know that it was fantastic from the beginning to the end and all my family have memories from it we will treasure forever.
The guides could not have been nicer or more helpful and were part of our holiday, the details that are thought of by your company amazed me and I have to say I was worried that I was looking forward to the holiday too much and it wouldn’t meet expectations, however it exceeded them.
A BIG THANK YOU to emagine , you do a great job.”
Katie Blake Smith, Sheffield

In all seriousness it was the most well organised trip I have ever made and with four kids in tow that’s an achievement that defies description.
We have already recommended your company to others and please give our heartfelt thanks, admiration and best wishes to all your staff.”
Trevor Russell & Lou Hellard, Upper Norwood,
London
“We returned from our holiday just before Christmas and felt we had to write to say how fantastic it was. My wife and I accompanied by our daughter and two grandsons were overwhelmed by the experience.
The holiday was recommended to us by friends who visited last year and even though they were full of praise about their holiday, it exceeded all of our expectations. The organised activities were superb and there was still plenty of free time to enjoy the toboggan run and the snow.
We could go on and on about the most wonderful holiday that we have ever had and have recommended the trip to a number of friends.
Once again thanks for a fantastic holiday”
Derek & Ann Wyatt, Twickenham, Middlesex

Many thanks for providing us with such a great holiday, and well done to all your staff.”
Andrea & Brian Speak, Knighton, Leicester
“Unaccustomed as I am to writing thank you letters to travel companies after holidays, I had to drop you a line to say a huge “Thank You” to your team and for the planning and organisation that went into making this one of our most memorable holidays ever! And that coming from Caribbean , heat seeking, snorkelling, well travelled punters, one of whom has an aversion to cold!!
We loved every minute of this unique experience, and the little touches made all the difference. I have already recommended this trip to friends and colleagues, it is a once in a lifetime “Must Do” and we could not fail to be impressed by the efficiency of your organisation and good humour of your staff.
Thanks for the memories, which we will not forget Best wishes”

Elizabeth Hadland, Lingfield, Surrey
“Myself and my daughter have just returned from our daytrip and I felt I must write to thank you. The day was quite superb and without a doubt the best package trip we have ever been on, the day was a master class in customer service, which puts others to shame.
Your guides went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great day and we did. I didn’t think you would be able to fit everything in but I was so wrong, there was plenty of time for everything, never did we feel hurried, everything ran like a Swiss clock and seemed so effortless although I am sure behind the scenes there is a tremendous amount of hard work going on. You delivered everything the brochure promised and more.
Once again, many thanks and congratulations on an outstanding operation, we will be talking about it for months! Best regards”
Graham Aylmore Lancing Sussex

Juliet Borges, London NW
"Just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent trip we had to Lapland. We have been involved with many companies over the years but we have to say that the service you provided was by far the best and most thoughtful we have ever encountered. The attention to detail was superb and the visit, in every detail was beyond expectation. We have been on many tours and have been "ripped off" by those little extras, may we thank you on the way you run your business and say that we felt we had received the best value for money possible. Regards"
The Ainsbury Family, Basildon, Essex

"Myself, my wife and two children and my mother arrived in Lapland full of excitement, but not really knowing what to expect, so we are writing to you now to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the best experience of our lives. When we arrived for our four days in Lapland your reps could not have done anymore to make sure everyone had the time of their lives. Our visit to Santa was MAGICAL, the candle lit trail to the cottage was breathtakingly beautiful and our two children Bradley and Georgia were so in awe they could not speak. Myself, my wife and my mother all felt like children again and we all thought the husky farm and trail was one of the best experiences of our lives, then to top it all off on our last night we all witnessed the northern lights. Please thank everyone involved in making this a perfect trip for us and we will have no hesitation at all in recommending your company to anyone thinking for visiting Lapland.
Darren, Andrea, Bradley and Georgina Cooper, Bournville, Birmingham
"We would very much like to thank you for making our trip of a lifetime a truly magical experience. Everything about our 4 day experience was outstanding. From the minute we arrived, we were constantly taken aback by the touches made to the holiday by yourselves, All very much appreciated and totally unexpected!! All the activities on offer were very well organised and far exceeded any expectations, which we had. The Snow Kids club was well structured and we were able to have an hour’s rest each afternoon safe in the knowledge that our children were happy and well cared for. We really are very grateful to you for making our dreams come true"
Vicki, Simon, Ben & Charlotte Milnes, Chorley, Lancs
"We recently travelled with your company for a four day safari trip and were delighted with the experience. Although the temperatures which we expected were below minus 32 degrees centigrade, your representatives were really excellent, particularly in relation to dealing with the children and I hope you will be able to pass on again, our thanks and admiration to them.
The Hotel lived up to expectations with its idyllic log cabins and excellent food but what really made the holiday for us were the enthusiasm and efforts made by your staff who really were a credit to your company throughout the four days. We would have no hesitation in recommending Emagine to our friends and contacts in the future"
Merrill April, Streatham Hill, London SW2
“I want to say what a wonderful time we all had. Everything was so magical…your staff couldn’t have been more attentive, making sure the children were OK… Santa was brilliant and how he remembered my 2 nd Christmas I don’t know..I’m 52!

With grateful thanks”

"I am writing to Thankyou for providing out family with a truly wonderful holiday in Finland. The activities enjoyed by our children and ourselves were most enjoyable and gave us the opportunity to do things that in all probability, we wont get the chance to try again. To see the children’s faces when they met Santa Claus was a joy to behold.
The whole trip from the initial enquiry to the very end was very professionally organised with just the right balance of organised activities and free time. I would certainly recommend your company to anyone considering planning a similar holiday. Once again thank you for giving us a holiday experience that will never be forgotten"
Ian Clark, Prenton Wirral

Dr Anita Turner and family, Rowlands Gil, Tyne and Wear

Jill Carter, Hullbridge, Essex
"We felt we must write to thank you, your company and your staff for making our recent trip to Lapland such an enjoyable experience.
From the moment we arrived at Gatwick Airport , your representatives were first class - always on hand to help with whatever we needed.
Our Young daughter Elly loved all the Snow kids activities, the hospitality, the food and all the various activities were all wonderful - we could not find fault with any part of our stay.
Thank you again for making our trip pure magic."
Gerard and Susan Voogt, Crawley
I have just returned from the best trip of my life with my wife and 3 kids. We had a fantastic time in Lapland.
When I e-mailed you last Feb I wasn’t sure what to expect (especially the negative press of late) but I can’t praise you enough for the huge effort and enthusiasm to which we were greeted.
The kids loved Santa and the reindeers, I loved the huskies and my wife loved the snowmobiling. Hotel, food, entertainment, itinerary and anything else I have missed absolutely fantastic.
Once more a massive THANKS, we had a great time.
Chris Tinsley, Penketh, Warrington
“We had a fantastic time on our trip and we congratulate all your staff for the friendliness, efficiency and service.

Your team and everyone who is involved are a credit to the company as it was a great day we will never forget and have already told friends that it's a must for them next year.
So again a VERY BIG THANKYOU"
Helen Harper, Birdsledge, Huddersfield
"I am writing to you all to say a big heartfelt thank you for the most wonderful holiday ever.
I have to admit to having some doubts as we have never been on a organised holiday before and certainly not to a cold climate. The welcome and the service was beyond my expectations, everything was so wonderfully planned. The staff looked after us all so well, constantly checking that we were all warm and happy and encouraging us to have a go on everything.
Santa's visit to the children brought a tear to many an eye I can assure you and the presents were extremely well thought out and age appropriate..someone had been very busy I can tell.
I am aware that we were lucky to be travelling with your company when I listened to the horror stories from guests who were with different companies and am so pleased that we put our faith in you.
All in all a wonderful, incredibly memorable holiday and one which we definitely hope to repeat next Christmas.
Many Thanks"
Jane Peppitt, Plymouth, Devon
Just a note to say thank you very much for our recent Santa holiday.
My sister and I, together with my two boys, had the most fantastic time. The whole holiday from check in to return went smoothly. All the staff were happy and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was immaculate and the staff there were lovely.
Reading back over this, I still don’t think that I have quite given the holiday justice it deserves. There are no words that can exactlyexplain how we felt about it!
The visit to the hotel by Santa Claus on the final evening was magical and not just for the kids ! I know for a fact that there were some tears shed by adults!!

"I along with my husband, son and mother in law have just returned from a 4 day trip in Lapland .
We stayed at the Hotel Tunturi in Saariselka. To be honest with you I am at a loss of what to write in this e-mail, I have just read other letters that the company have received and they exactly echo our thoughts, we even had a chuckle to ourselves when reading one which said "even the coach driver had a sparkle", it is so true. We can only add that your staff looking after us are a credit to your fantastic reputation and you should be very proud of them and how they carry the company name.
We are still talking non-stop of out experience and we all agree it was truly magical and something everybody of any age should encounter.
We can only say Thank you so much.
Cheers"
Jo Hopgood, Romsey, Hampshire
“Having returned just before Christmas from one of your holidays my wife and I felt we must write to say how much we enjoyed our Lapland experience. We were expecting great things but it exceeded our expectations. We were accompanied by our four grandchildren (aged between 3 and 7) plus their parents. It is difficult to say which age group enjoyed themselves the most!
Our pleasure was in no small way due to the excellent organisation which your company provided. All the activities were well organised and your representatives were all very helpful.
The highlight of the trip was, of course, the visit to Father Christmas and we must congratulate you on the way this was handled. We shall certainly be recommending your company to any of our friends who want a “Santa” experience in Lapland.
The grandchildren are already saving their pocket money to return in two years to renew their “reindeer driving licences”
Keep up the good work and thank you again for a wonderful holiday.
G. Roper, Maidenhead, Berkshire
“I would just like to say a big thank you. I took my 6 year old daughter Holly to Lapland on a day trip. We had a wonderful time, the whole day was well organised and everyone had the opportunity to do all the activities available.
The highlight of the day for my daughter was when we went to see Santa and as we entered the cabin he called out her name – she was completely astonished !!! That image will stay with me forever.
Thank you for keeping the spirit of Christmas alive!! It was magic”
Sue Law, Sutton, Surrey
"We are writing to thank you all for a truly magical experience. Before our visit we knew it would be a very special holiday, but it was even better than we could ever have imagined.
The Organisation of our whole stay was second to none. Your representatives at the resort were most helpful and courteous at all times.
All in all it was an experience we will never forget. We have always wanted to see the Northern Lights, and were delighted to see them on our first night.
Our Christmas was like a dream come true.
Thank you once again for all that you organised for us."

Peter Kenny, Cumbria
"I am writing to you to say what a FANTASTIC time we had with your tour in Saariselka. Everything was good or if not better than we could have ever hoped for. I have always read feedback in brochures with some scepticism, but this time it was all true!
The hotel was very comfortable and the excursions an enormous amount of fun. Our three children have come back with some great memories and their beliefs totally intact and more solid than before, especially for our nine year old!
I will be raving about our trip to many friends ! Keep up the good work and we may yet come another year! Yours sincerely"

“From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything ran like clockwork. The staff was kind, helpful and courteous at all times and even though we packed a lot of great activities into a short visit at no point did we feel as though we were pushed to hurry things along.
My children were absolutely thrilled to meet Santa and the fact that he knew their names made it even more magical for them and will no doubt be something that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
In this day and age when we are all too quick to criticise and complain it has been a pleasure to write this letter and to thank you for an incredible experience
Thank you again”

All in all it was a marvellous holiday.

I have to say that when we first booked our trip I had my reservations about booking such a 'pre-arranged package' but I needn't have worried because we had a fantastic time, it was absolutely wonderful and completely exceeded all our expectations. The holiday was superbly organised right from the moment I made our initial booking. The whole trip was magical. The hotel, the food, safari trips and general all round care and attention that we received was superb.
It was a wonderful lead up to our New Year. Thank you once again"
Katie Mart, Twyford, Berkshire
"When we booked the trip we wanted it to be magical as both our children aged 7 and 4 still totally believe in Santa. You have made a real success for us. From the moment we checked in at Gatwick the trip proved to be every bit as wonderful as we had hoped. The Emagine staff, the personal touches and all the activities were well co-ordinated and despite the cold, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute, it was a shame that the four days went so quickly.
On behalf of all the family we want to congratulate your thoughtfulness and hard work in organising these trips. It has certainly made this Christmas our best. As a family who travels a lot around the world, this trip is amongst the best and definitely the most memorable. Thank you from us all"

“My daughter Georgina and myself have just returned from one of your 4 day Santa trips and I feel I must write to say how wonderful the whole experience was from start to finish, from the moment we got onto the plane everything was done very professionally.
The activities were all 1 st class, just right for the different age groups, and as for my daughters face when she saw Santa, if nothing else I will treasure that expression for many many years to come, until my youngest daughter is old enough to go at which time we will definitely be doing it through yourselves again.
Once again, many thanks for giving my daughter and myself such unforgettable memories.
With sincere thanks”

Just a few lines to thank you for the most fantastic and magical Christmas we have ever had. We found the accommodation to be just lovely- clean, warm, spacious and in a beautiful location.
The trips were just perfect - fun, well organised and totally ‘wow’ experiences equally enjoyed by Sean aged 7, Bethan 8, Lucas 15, Keith and myself. We just loved the fact that they weren’t just short ‘taster’ sessions but proper, hands on experiences ! All in all, the holiday from start to finish was absolutely fantastic !
Many thanks

Roy Glover, Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire
"I am writing to thank you for a wonderful holiday which myself and everyone else in our party enjoyed. The food was great and the activities were breathtaking. My mum and I most enjoyed the snowmobiling and the tobogganing and the Santa Claus 'adventure' was exceptionally well done. I left my dad at home because he doesn't like flying, or the cold, so it did not seem the holiday for him. However, after the sights we have seen, I think it would be well worth him braving the flights and the weather to come with us again.
I would like to congratulate your guides for their very hard work ensuring that every wish was granted. On behalf of mum and myself I would like to thank you for a truly outstanding holiday".
Sarah Colquhoun aged 11, Carlisle
"A fantastic day - you cannot put a price on this magical experience"

Following our trip to Lapland before Christmas, I had to write to thank you and your staff for a truly magical holiday. Our whole trip was brilliantly organised from the moment we arrived until the time we left. We have amazing memories from all the activities and of course our meeting with Santa himself.
I could go on forever about all the wonderful things(and frequently do to friends who make the mistake of asking!)
Thank you once again for making our visit a trip of a lifetime.
