The Santa Claus Village and Arctic Circle tour was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we set foot in the village, the magical atmosphere was undeniable. The snow-covered landscapes and the cheerful spirit of the place made it feel like stepping into a winter wonderland. Crossing the Arctic Circle was a highlight, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day. Our guide, Julia, was incredibly knowledgeable and fun, sharing fascinating insights with enthusiasm that really brought the experience to life. Her energy and sense of humor kept the group engaged throughout the day. The mix of cultural insights and fun activities made for a perfect balance of learning and enjoyment. It’s an experience I’ll cherish, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore this enchanting part of the world.
