The trip was very enjoyable and everything went according to plan in thanks to you and Yousef my excellent driver and guide In Jordan. As a solo albeit confident traveller Yousef took any stress out of the trip making check-ins and sightseeing hassle free. He was professional, punctual, courteous and knowledgeable with excellent English to boot! A very good driver, I felt very comfortable and safe in Yousef’s company and would be very happy recommending him to other travellers.It was also evident that I was being looked after as my Petra guide (also very good) informed me he had received 2 calls to confirm arrangements the day prior to my Petra trip.

The trip was fantastic thank you, we both enjoyed it immensely, the surprise for Julie was kept intact and she loved every minute of it. We both thought that we were well looked after, and the guys and girls at both the Abisko Mountain Lodge and the Arctic Eden were most helpful, knowledgeable and keen to make sure we had everything we required. The Sami evening was excellent, Simon did look after all of us, the husky sledging was fun and the dogs were just great. We enjoyed the snowmobiling very much and felt very honoured to be the last of the season! We managed to see the northern lights twice, once from the Abisko sky station, and again on our Sami evening with Simon, so many great memories we can take away, the ice hotel was awesome, and I will encourage everyone I know to visit it at least once in their own lifetime.
The food at both residencies was excellent, the tea and coffee facilities on tap at Arctic Eden was just great for a couple of Brits! The service from them and their staff was wonderful and of a great standard, so please convey our appreciation to both teams...
On the whole a great trip, great experiences and we had a load of fun with the all the various activities, so a definite score of 5 out of 5. We would certainly not hesitate to use your company again in the future for another trip. Many thanks to all of your team for our wonderful trip, Julie's friends are now all envious of her birthday surprise, and probably looking to their own husbands to meet or exceed the standard your team has set. Yours sincerely Julie and Martin

We had a great time in Abisko, thank you. All our transport, transfers and excursions ran perfectly to time and all the people involved in delivering the services were highly efficient. The people we met in Abisko, providing both hotel and excursion services were so nice, so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We enjoyed everything we had booked, even when the weather prevented us seeing the Northern Lights. We still had fun doing each of the activities. We did see the lights on our second night which made it all the better. We would highly recommend the trip and your company.Kind regards Jo

Grace and I had a fabulous time – really super! Everything went very smoothly and we were very happy and relaxed. We even saw the lights while we were doing our photo shoot with Sandra – she was great and thank you so much to Kevin for organising it for us. We met Chad and his group and they were very friendly. The hotel was modest but warm and clean and with a very comfortable lounge where we could make teas and coffees. The guides were all very helpful. I can honestly say it was one of the most enjoyable breaks we ever had – not only because we did not have to think about organising anything and everything was well done, but all the things we did were such fun – we loved snowmobiling and husky sledding. The weather was great most of the time as well. On top of all this, the wilderness was breathtakingly beautiful. We can highly recommend you and will check out your website when we want to do something special again. Best regards Jane

Yes we are back and had a fantastic time but sadly we did not see the lights but had great fun trying. We were very impressed with weekend al a carte . Abisko mountain lodge was very good it had a very laid back atmosphere and you felt very much at home. Mina was always around being very helpful.Funny when we first got to our rooms we thought it was a little basic with the single beds and the wet room but it worked well and the beds were very comfortable and the relaxed atmosphere compensated for it.You could help yourself to tea and coffee and biscuits (which we could not stop eating I think they were homemade) it was a nice touch. We booked two activities the snow mobiles and the dog sledding which was fantastic.We are considering Iceland next year and would be very happy to book this with you. Lesley

We had a fantastic holiday in Lapland, and we managed to do everything that we had wanted to do. The ice hotel was brilliant and we were so glad that we stayed in an art suite as that made it extra-special. We really enjoyed dog- sledding and had perfect weather...
Abisko is a beautiful place and it was well worth staying up there rather than returning to Kiruna. The lodge was very relaxed and friendly, and the food was first class. We had planned to book more activities once we got to Abisko but it is such a beautiful area that we just went out walking, wandering around the frozen lake surrounded by snowy mountains was perfect. We saw the northern lights twice, both from outside the mountain lodge. They were particularly spectacular on our last night, although they did arrive in the middle of dinner! Many thanks to all involved in putting together such an excellent package, and thanks to all staff in Sweden who ensured that everything ran smoothly and were friendly and welcoming. Maureen

We had the most amazing time on our holiday! Everything was wonderful. There aren't enough adjectives to describe it. The places we stayed in, the people we met who looked after us, the activities, the scenery....well, words fail me to be honest! It certainly was a very special holiday and a terrific way to 'celebrate' a special birthday. What an experience! All our friends have been blown away by Tim's photos and they all want to go now. We can't praise Weekend A La Carte enough for the way the trip was organized. We liked the fact that you knew all the people and had been to the places to ensure good standards for your clients. We have been singing your praises since we got back and actually, whilst we were there - to folks we met who were on similar trips but with different agencies. Our itinerary and the accommodation you arranged were far superior e.g. in the Ice Hotel where we had a room with a sculpture, rather than a plain one. A HUGE thank you for all your hard work and careful consideration for your clients. The only problem is that we want to go back and do it again!Best wishes from Tim and Anne ......aka very satisfied clients.

Just like to say what a fantastic holiday we had. Everything was wonderful from the flight out, hotel, excursions, food, place, people absolutely everything. And the best of all the lights. It was amazing. We saw them on the first night there but only faint and then on the second night when we went to Abisko they shone for us. We feel so blessed that this happened. The entire holiday could have not gone any smoother than it did. I would recommend your company to anyone.Thank you so much for helping make our holiday one of the very best we have had and I would certainly use Weekend a' la' Carte again. Tree and Mark

You're right it certainly did get off to a bit of a rocky start but Abigail's phone call at the Airport to keep us informed was so very welcome and we arrived to the most amazing snow blizard any of us have ever experienced! Such fun especially since Saeli and Magnus met us because we could hardly see each other let alone be able to find the road! Everything was just amazing and the management and staff at the Hotel Ranga were beyond welcoming, and spoke very highly of Abigail. Saeli and Magnus took us on an amazing trip the following day and it was just one new and amazing experience after another for the rest of our holiday. Iceland was such a wonderful surprise and the locals were so friendly. The food was without doubt some of the best in the world! France could learn a thing or two and coming from me thats saying something as I'm half French and quite passionate about my hertitage. Our lobster feast tour on Sunday 10th March was quite exceptional and our guide with Arctic Adventures was simply the best. So knowledgeable and could not possibly have done more for us. Infact to top off probably one of our best holidays ever we got to see the famous Aurura Borealis for over 2 hours and he told us such amazing sightings only ever happen 2 or 3 times a year. So how lucky were we! We don't remember the name of our guide that night but if you do get to speak to him soon please extend to him our sincere thanks and rest assured we will post a trip adviser message, but I'll need my husband to do that because I've no idea how it all works. To Abigail, you and all the staff at Weekend a la carte please accept our sincere thanks. We found you on line by pure accident but will never use another travel firm ever again. Your service to us has been first class and excellent value for money. Thank you all for making my 50th Birthday one I will cherish forever and never forget. Best wishes to you all and look forward to our next trip - booked by yourselves of course. Helen and Ami Norian and the rest of our fellow intrepid explorers!

Thanks for your email. Lauren and myself had a fantastic trip, it was
everything we'd hoped for and more. I found all the staff very friendly and attentive. When we were out on the activities we were really looked after from the time we were picked up to the time we were dropped off, all in all a great experience, I have already
Recommended your company to many of our friends. Please pass on our
Thanks to all the staff. Regards Ferg
