1.00This was a total disaster. We waited an hour and our guide never showed up and never called. When I called the number I had , I was informed that the guide never told them he couldn’t make it. This would have been the highlight of our visit. Instead it ruined our last day in Helsinki by wasting our morning as we tried to track down our guide. The refund hardly makes up for the disappointment.

5.00The guide was friendly and talked about reindeers and nature in an interesting way. The coolest thing is the opportunity to feed reindeers!! They are calm and kind. After the walk, we drank hot tea by the campfire, in general, everything was well organized and I enjoyed this tour a lot!

5.00This experience was amazing! Got to hand feed multiple reindeers and enjoy a coffee and some bread. Appreciated that we were able to go to the reindeer park early and enjoy some time with the reindeer and were able to ask the employees multiple questions about the reindeer there. The ease of this experience was amazing, pickup was smooth and in a very comfortable ride. Ross did an awesome job answering questions about Helsinki and Finland in general.

5.00We got pickup by the hotel from our guide Ruslan. He was ao friendly, take a lot with us. So the time fly away. At the reindeer farm we had all the reindeers just for us. With a lot of interessing informations from the keeper but also from our guide. The best us like our tour was privat and no a group thing we are not stressed and the reindeer still enought hungry to come next to us. Stick bread was very nice experience too Nice experience if you wanna met your first reindeer in calme. The guide was even so nice asking us wat we are doing next and just leave us there. Thank you so much for that nice morning
