Amazing evening - Loved the experience! In a small group we could really enjoy relaxing evening in sauna and even jump to the lake - appreciated a lot this private atmosphere. Dinner was absolutely delicious (grilled salmon, veggies very tasty homemade sauce, cookies and of course glogi!), the table was set really nice and we all within a group had lovely chat though we just met one another. Big thanks to Pedro for driving us there and back and telling interesting stories about finnish and reindeers' lifestyle - and Tanja for hosting us and letting us feel like at home. Small note - as there is traditional finnish sauna, there is no shower. but the lake is just nearby for refreshment :)

An Amazing Experience with Amazing People! - It was a great experience for me and my friends. Alex and his wife were extremely helpful and kind. After the sauna, we had a chance to hear some facts and stories about Finland and their neighbourhood. I definitely recommend for everyone to have such experience with such great people!

The best experience ever! - I’ve been there in April for vacation and Alex give me a wonderful vacay. At first he came to pick me and we talk a bit about general things Lapland. Then we arrived the wonderful private place. We enjoyed with Alex’s family. Alex’s wife was so nice like his husband. They cooked amazing Lappish meal for me. The sauna was so great, I’ve never had such a great experience before. I hope to go back again. Thank so much Alex.

A Finnish couple's actual house with a wood burning sauna and a pond to jump into! - We had a wonderful experience visiting Alex Rudyuk. Along with an incredible sauna, he gave us much information about his world. We appreciate the knowledge, and really feel that we got an actual taste of what living in northern Finland is like. Thank you so much!

Great start to a wonderful trip - We thoroughly enjoyed the night, our guide was especially informative and good company. The sauna experience was a perfect opportunity to relax after our trip into Rovaniemi and the meal was a simple yet delightful set of homemade glazed salmon and vegetables.

Unexpected experience - It was my first time in Lapland, so I have had no any idea of what was I going to do there. Tons of offers from various tourism companies, plenty of possible trips and services to choose. However, my search ended up on the Private Lappish evening in the real wilderness (so atmospheric and exciting), offered by the Nordic Adventures travel company. The experience I have received was outstanding, sauna and traditional dinner were included, and I loved it. Never before I have been to the Finnish sauna, never before I have tried Lappish cousine, and I did not regret about choosing this opportunity at all! Whole service was smooth and pleasant, I give my five stars to this trip, but I wish I could leave 6-star feedback! I recommend it to everyone, who is willing to visit this magical place. Thanks to Alex, I had a great time!
