Review of Rovaniemi’s husky and reindeer rides, salmon soup, Santa Claus Village, Arctic Circle crossing, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“We heard so much about the reindeer and husky sleigh rides as well as the famous Santa Claus Village so we needed to do this! There were many options out there but this one seemed good enough so we picked this tour. This tour was great, we had a great time with the reindeer ride, husky ride, lunch, and with our free time in Santa’s Village. Big shoutouts to all our guides, they did a great job making sure we had fun and were safe throughout the whole day. The husky ride lasted about 5 minutes, the reindeer ride about 8 to 10 minutes. After both those rides we took…”

“It was an amazing night and we saw the lights the whole night! Our tour guide Jeremy was great and flexible, pivoting quickly to find spots to view the lights, everywhere! He was also super friendly and accommodating to my kids even though the tour we chose is not the “family friendly version” one, since we wanted to focus on being able to view the lights! He specially prepared a toy companion for them, marshmallows for them for the campfire, and even going above and beyond and sending us all the way back to our resort! Great experience and highly recommend!”

A horrible group of riffraff.”
