Lapland - I’m thinking of booking, any tips?

I’m thinking of booking Lapland for next year (although after a quick look I’m wondering if I’ve already left it a bit late!). I’m really hoping some of you can give some advice. We’ve got 4 kids who will be 9, 7, 5 and 3 when we go. Any tips on who is best to book through? I think we will definitely need a Santa trip included as I’m hoping they will all still believe next year. I just don’t know where to start, loads of hits come back on google but I want to make sure we book through a trusted operator.

Its so expensive and I probably only have one shot to get it right before eldest no longer “believes” so the pressure is on! Any advice from anyone who has been before will be gratefully received.

We have just come back from the 3 night Magical Interlude with Canterbury travel.
It was great. We took DS(5).
Canterbury charter a flight, ours was Jet2 Manchester and all went smoothly.
We stayed in Luosto in a log cabin which was small but very cute with a huge bed for all 3 of us.
The trip is a 2 day hunt for Santa, meeting elves and doing huskies, reindeer, snowmobiles, skidoos, sledging etc along the way. DS loved it and the actual Santa meet was magical. It would convince any wavering believer!
It’s an expensive trip but would highly recommend Canterbury travel.

We went with Canterbury travel. They were fantastic. But it was 10 years ago. Dcs still talk fondly about the trip. We did 4 nights. It was great because not rushed at all.

Thanks for the replies, I’ll have a look at Canterbury Travel

We booked a ski trip with crystal for a week, booked Santa, huskey ride, ski lessons, sledging and it was less than half of 4 days with Canterbury. They are totally over priced.

We went to Ruka and I just contacted the local tourist board who organised everything. All the same trips, but no commissions to Tui travel.
