The part of a trip clients remember longest, and the hardest thing to book late.
Clients forget the transfer and the room category. They remember the person who spent three days with them. There are only a handful of senior guides in each region, which is why this line gets booked first.
We book named people wherever we can and tell you who they are. For mountain, glacier and wildlife work we state which qualification the guide holds. Sámi cultural guiding is booked only through Sámi-owned businesses.
A regional specialist for the whole stay, working alongside the driver rather than driving as well.
Mountain, glacier, wildlife, photography, food and culture. The guide's qualification is named in the quote.
Permits, locations, access and local logistics for film shoots, incentive groups and private projects.
For clients meeting local suppliers, producers or officials who need the conversation to go properly.
Better said now than found out on the day. We would rather lose the booking than have it go wrong in front of your client.
Qualified mountain and glacier guides are fully booked in season. February to April and July to August need several months' notice.
Standards vary by country. Iceland and Norway have formal qualification systems; elsewhere it is looser, and we will tell you what we are relying on.
No amount of money produces a senior guide at short notice. Late requests get whoever is free, and we will tell you if that is what happened.
Sámi culture is not an activity to slot into a spare afternoon. We book it with Sámi-owned businesses, on their terms and in their season.
Nordic Privé operates directly in Finland. In the other countries we work with local partner teams we have checked, and we stay responsible for the whole trip.
Reaches places with no road, runway or harbour, and shows a client a lot of country in twenty minutes.
Every trip depends on it, and clients almost always underestimate how far apart things are.
The bigger risks here are distance and weather rather than people. Most privacy work is planning.
Dates, group size, and the two places you need to link. We come back with what is available, what it costs, and what happens if the weather stops it.
