    The tour was very fun. I enjoyed the Santa Claus village and the reindeer -husky sledding too. Ericka, one of the guides, was very knowledgeable with reindeers and we learned a lot from her. The salmon soup provided for lunch was the tastiest I've tried during my Finland trip. It was also good that the driver picked us up on time in our accommodation. I could've given this experience a 5-star but I'll leave it to 4-star coz the tour guide/driver that supposed to "guide" us with the trip didn't do much for us. We had to follow some other guides so we know where to go. He was just busy chatting with other people. We even got lost to a different activity coz he wasn't paying attention and didn't direct us where to go.

    What a fantastic, memorable day! Our guide, Antonio (?) was amazing - friendly, courteous and pleasure to be with. The other staff, including the young lady and guy with blonde hair who offered to drive ourselves and another family back to our homes was also lovely and helpful. All of the activities were well organised and the food and the lady who served it were all outstanding. Five stars!

    A really nice pack of key things in Lapland! We were picked up from the hotel on time, went to the reindeer farm to feed the animals, listen a little about them and got to ride a reindeer sleigh by ourselves for a while. Then we had a nice meal at the reindeer farm. After that we went to see the husky farm and drive on sleigh with the musher. Then we could pet the dogs - they are super cute. After that we went to see Santa Claus village to visit Mr C;) and wonder around the village. A really nice experience- we can highly recommend it. Sofia was our guide and she is great- good English speaker and lots of information about the animals too.
