A big mis-sell and cheating.. no profession guided tour provided although committed. Just a very expensive transport

1.00The company missold the trip ... it was just transport and zoo ticket. Guided tour with a professional was communicated in the marketing brochure but the so called 'guides' were just there to count the number of passengers. when asked they mentioned they were not zooologists and to just read the signage. Very disappointing experience.
Terrible experience, most...

5.00Thanks to the guides Guillermo and Sofia who explained everything you wanted to know about each animal, they also picked us up at the hotel and returned us to the same on the return. The truth is that they were both super attentive and friendly. It's nice to visit like that.

2.00We came up with the idea of visiting an animal park in the wilderness but it was more of a zoo with fences and cages...the poor polar bear stuck in his large enclosure seemed just as depressed as us to see it there...wolves also have an enclosure that seemed really small to us when we know that the forest is endless here....it is sure that for visitors to see the animals it is easier if the spaces are small but for their well-being it seems obvious that l space is lacking.fortunately that on the road we met reindeer...free those there
You can skip that

5.00It was very good organized! The Tour and the animals was great, but the best was the guide!! He (Marcos) gave us a lot of Information. Not only about the animals as well about life in finnland and all other things i‘m interested to know. An absolutely sympathical man. He gave us enough time to see everything. We talked about other tours too and what we liked there. We made different tours like snowmobil or huskytour. I can say both are very very good! Do it of you stay in Lapland! Best wishes, Markus
