The reindeer were so fun and friendly and I learned a lot from the Sami people. I went with my 9 year old twins and this is something they said they would never forget. Definitely a highlight from my trip to tromso

5 out of 5 stars

Guide didn’t provide any additional info or tips, only listened to the standard audio. Would have been great for a few local tips for things to do / eat

5 out of 5 stars

better - entry for a 3 day ticket in Ateneum should be more than 1x if you only have 1 hour in the evening.
