Your Artisan Experience

The island was so beautiful, we snorkelled with dolphins and whale watched. Tours were amazing. So well organised with exceptional guides.

We have travelled a lot and would rate this as one of our best-ever holidays.

A Volcanic Wonderland
Travelled 29th July 2023

The husky trip was amazing! All very well organised, superb guide who was also a talented cook. Hanski our guide really made it a memorable experience.

Our experiences with your travel experts were outstanding. We were much better prepared than others in our group who booked through different agencies.

Harriniva - Five-Day Husky Safari
Travelled 7th January 2024

The local staff were always on hand to support us and we ended up having one of the best holidays ever.

What I would like to mention is that we were fairly novice at this type of holiday and prior to going had many questions the staff at Artisan Travel were always more than happy to answer ever our silliest questions. Thanks everyone - mission accomplished.
