It was a wonderful adventure, one negative, is that food was not provided by host, there was a stop on the way to buy souvenir and food but the tour guide/bus driver did not announced that we could placed and pay for hot dinner orders, so as to have a hot meal on our way back down from the artic circle, that was very careless and taught less of the driver because she ordered her hot meal.

The ride and stops were just right. No rush in every stop. No food was included in the trip but we were provided with water, candies and few snacks/pre pack veggies which was a surprise to me. To step my foot on the arctic circle is an epic tour indeed. Certificate was also given at the arctic sign
