The best time snowshoeing! - We had an absolutely fantastic morning snowshoeing in the forest with our incredible guide, Fede. We'd never been snowshoeing before, but he took his time to give great instruction and advice, and then offered consistent support throughout the excursion (and was just really good company, and a good laugh!). It was a brilliant little adventure, and we really got to experience the true beauty of the Finnish winter landscape in a fun way! It definitely took some effort, but if you're relatively fit and enjoy being outdoors, this is the trip for you. After a 3km trek, we finished with a campfire, juice, lunch, and marshmallows. I highly recommend this company, and its guides. My partner and I had the best time!

Snowshoeing in the woods - Thanks to Yngve, we were able to enjoy a very pleasant walk with snowshoes in the woods of Rovaniemi.
Our Yngve guide entertained us explaining the various types of trees present and their peculiarities.
Towards the end of the walk, he offered us a great hot chocolate and cookies around the fire.
It 'was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend to everyone.

Fantastic evening with awesome guide - We loved our evening with Jordi who took me and my husband on a snowshow hike. It was a beautiful evening but sadly no Northern lights to be found, however we still had a fantastic evening. Jordi took us too an amazing spot up a hill where we could look over the town, we made a fire and sat eating Cinnamon buns and roasting marshmallows.
The snow shoe hike was really enjoyable and it was great walking through really deep snow. Jordi went above and beyond and when we couldn't find any lights up the hill he took us to the frozen lake to try our luck. Sadly the weather gods did not play ball but we really appreciated the extra effort. Thanks for the fantastic evening Jordi!

A lovely introduction to Lapland - It was a delightful way to spend our first evening in Lapland.... and the company were professional, helpful and very accommodating. Our flight was delayed and so we were rather late for our trip. But they cheerily and helpfully re-arranged the outing around us so that we could both experience the snowy wonderland, make camp fire and get back for dinner at our hotel. It was a magical tramp through the snowy landscape and a fun campfire, with hot chocolate and cinnamon buns! Can't recommend the guys there highly enough.

Guide was great and experience was... - <p>Guide was great and experience was fun but not worth the money paid. We essentially put some metal shoes on and went on a 30 minute walk which would have been more reasonable should it have been 20 - 30 cheaper.</p>
