I really loved those deer — they were just too adorable. I truly hope they can be treated kindly and with respect. Honestly, after spending time with them, I feel like eating vegetarian for a while.

The tour was really good! We learned about Sámi culture, including their food, lifestyle, music, and history. The guide explained everything in detail. The reindeer sledding was also a very fun experience — the reindeer were so cute! Thank you! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience something unique and authentic in the Arctic.
