Catherine, owner and operator of Nomade Tourism, was wonderful all around - the person that she is, the service she provided, her planning and execution of our itinerary! She took care of our group of 7 family members from beginning to end!
When it was cloudy on the night that we were to go aurora hunting, she rearranged our itinerary, moving this excursion to the next day, so as to maximize our chances of seeing the aurora and gave us something else to do in exchange. She alerted us when the aurora was showing on other nights and directed us to locations where we could see it. Because of her effort, we saw the aurora twice during our 7-day stay in Finland.
Her love for Finland, especially the Lapland, shone bright as she led us herself on a snowshoeing hike in Kittila and prepared Finnish food for us in a kota right next to our cabin. She partners with guides and transport services who share her love for their work. Our excursions guides were all wonderful and knowledgeable people; our drivers were courteous and drove with care.

She created the best personalized itinerary for us and carried it...

Like we had a local friend there who wanted to show us the best of this lovely place. She did things that surprised us like booking a dinner at the Ice Hotel as a gift, a personal private tour in frozen waterfalls, and an amazing dinner with Finnish delicacies on fire in a hut. We had an experience of a lifetime without having to worry about anything! We made a new friend in Finland, and we will go back. This boutique travel agency truly respects their guests, and I highly recommend them if you want to visit North Finland and experience what this place has to offer in an authentic and...
