Wonderful tour guide and... - Wonderful tour guide and the day was way more fun than we expected. The dogs were ADORABLE. It would have been nice to mention we had a 1 hour break during the tour to shop / eat - which was lovely.

Fun Husky Ride - The guide was helpful and gave us an overview of the the areas. The overall experience was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the Husky safari and the informative conversion about Huskies.

Fantastic day for kids - I went with 2 kids that still believe in Santa and they were over the moon. To me it was all a bit cheesy, and has a feeling of amusement park, but seeing them so excited was more than enough to make it worth it. They particularly liked the snowmobile, which is not included, but you can go during the free time.
Our guide knew what he was doing, so he made sure we went first to the places that get busiest and we managed to avoid all the queues. I can imagine that if he hadn't done that we'd have to wait 30/40 min in each place and the trip would have been a disaster, so really happy with him.

Amazing experience and well organised! - We are so pleased we booked with Nordic Adventures and had Alex as our guide. Excellent communication before hand and on time pick up and flexible on the day to timings. We were first in to see Santa and had the place almost to ourselves! Brilliant to be able to get to the front of the queue (especially as it was so cold!) and Alex was a great guide with information. Well worth booking this tour!

Huskies and Reindeers for a Solo Traveler! - Alex did a fantastic job touring the group around Santa Claus village and the huskies and the reindeers. I am a solo traveler, and there were three other families. Alex helped entertain me and make sure I was taken care of, so I greatly appreciate him for enhancing my experience. Thank you! I would definitely book with Alex and this company again!

Four friends trip! - I would recommend this tour as it will save you a bit of time (rather than doing it DIY, one by one). It is do-able the three activities in one day in santa village becauseeverything is walking distance in there, but if you want to know more infos and trivias, and save time on searching the places where to do activities, and queuing to buy the tickets then i would recommend you to book this one. It includes everything and the guide will answet yout questions. Thanks to our guide Alex, we manage to do everything we want to do in 1 day. We didnt have to line to buy tickets in that cold weather. The trivias and his shop recommendations are interesting and useful!

Fantastic - We had a brilliant day out with a very informative guide. Collected from our apartment and taken to feed the reindeer, we had a sleigh ride followed by a hot drink. Moved on to visit the Huskies,they were wonderful to see, the ride was brilliant. Met Santa and had lots of information throughout from our guide :)
