“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…”

“When we booked this tour from your site, the description included our hotel ( drop down menu) for pick up and drop off. The day before the tour in the afternoon we received a message from the tour operator that we were out of their pick up radius. We then had to book transportation to the Santa Claus village and pay extra on our own. This was very frustrating and expensive. Overall tour was good, Léa the guide was excellent !!! We will reconsider using your company in the future…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 66 reviews · 3 hours · from $129

Review of Rovaniemi’s Santa Claus Village tour, with hotel pickup, Santa’s Post Office, Arctic Circle crossing, costs, and useful booking advice.

“Wir wurden pünktlich von unserem Hotel abgeholt und sind dann direkt zum Santa Claus Village gefahren. Dort hat uns ein Guide in Empfang genommen der uns 10min grob gesagt hat wo wir was finden und wie dieses Dorf entstanden ist. Danach hatten wir Zeit alles zu erkunden und Santa zu treffen. Positiv: - pünktlicher Transfer - Guide Einweisung - Abholung nach Absprache jeder Zeit möglich! Negativ: - Super teuer! Der Eintritt in das Village ist kostenfrei und für jeden frei betretbar. Also wurde das viele Geld nur für den kurzen Transfer und die 10min mit dem Guide bezahlt.”

8.Santa Claus Village, Husky and Reindeers Combo Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 44 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $252

Rovaniemi’s Santa Village, husky and reindeer combo offers Arctic rides, Santa, hotel pickup, and family fun, but short rides affect its value.

“Netter Guide, gute Betreuung und einwandfreie Organisation mit Abholung direkt beim Hotel. Alles in allem mehr ein Einblick für Kurzentschlossene, als eine Safari. Immerhin war dies in der Hochsaison eine etwas überteuerte Skip-the-Line Möglichkeit, eine Runde Husky- und eine Runde Rentierschlittenfahrt im Santa-Claus-Village zu erhalten, ohne lange Anstehzeiten inkl. danach noch mehr als genügend Aufenthaltszeit im rege besuchten Erlebnispark. Je nach Zeit und Erwartungen somit bedingt zu empfehlen.”

“I booked this trip half a year in advance, and about a month before departure, CS staff Ulla reached out to me via WhatsApp to confirm the itinerary. As this was my first time visiting Finland, I had many questions and could not find much information myself. Ulla patiently answered everything, provided clear guidance, and showed an exceptionally professional and caring attitude. Her support gave me great confidence before the trip and made me feel very well taken care of. However, during the tour there were some issues. When boarding the bus, we were not informed that no guide would accompany us, and many people from different groups boarded the…”
