The Only Company That Failed During Our Trip

I purchased a tour directly from this company’s website to visit the zoo at 10:00 AM with a Spanish-speaking guide. What I received was completely different: a tour starting at 2:30 PM and no Spanish-speaking guide. By 2:30 PM it is already completely dark in Lapland, and the zoo has no lighting, making the visit essentially useless. I requested a refund for the service that was not delivered. After the tour, I attempted to contact the company multiple times by email and WhatsApp, and received no response at all. This company is not trustworthy. I used several other tour companies during this trip and had absolutely no issues with any of them — this was the only company that failed to deliver what was promised and ignored all attempts at contact. There are many reliable alternatives available. I strongly recommend avoiding this company.

Our guide Franco was amazing! He made the whole day great. Zoo was worth the trip. We didn’t get to see the polar bear but the owls, wolves, moose, Wolverine and muskox were pretty cool!
Not at the top of the to-do list, especially if you have limited time

A good workout but definitely would not be at the top of the priority list in terms of experiences. Too few variety and animals to see, to brave the cold. Guide who took us was friendly though. She brought us around and tried to make the walk as enjoyable as possible. BBQ was nothing special - standard sausages, marshmallow and blueberry juice.
Good experience!

Nice hike. The zoo is immersed in a truly enchanting landscape! Our guide Noemi was very knowledgeable and very kind. It is a reliable and precise agency. Recommended!
Well worth the time

We did the Ranua Zoo trip with Christian. The ride to the zoo is around an hour (on good roads in late summer, may be longer in winter), and another hour back, so be prepared for that. The Zoo is great, some beautiful large enclosures and many fascinating animals. We spent 3 hours at the zoo, it's a lot if walking, but that was fine with us. Our trip, in the quiet season, meant we had the zoo almost to ourselves, which was amazing. Very peaceful and enjoyable.
