Sorry for any slight hijack but the question is relevant!
Which tour companies are people using to get there and arrange hotels? I know some people do the separates thing (as we do for Crete) but I'm sure that for many, we'll be going as a one off (or at least the first time) and having the basics arranged for us is worth the extra cost!
For future possible repeat visits, does anyone have any recommendations as to car hire companies?
Had a great time in Lofoten. I've posted some aurora shots in landscape forum if anyone is interested http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=471362
How was services from tatraphotography? I've been looking at them and debating on photo tour or self drive.
