2.00Ultra short sleigh ride, a lot of waiting because too many people at the same time, cold and industrial atmosphere We don't see enough reindeer, we don't take enough advantage of their presence
A pleasant experience

Small discovery of a reindeer farm

3.00What a dream! Go to Lapland. to Rovaniemi more exactly and visit a reindeer farm! Arrived on time , as requested precisely in the email , we wait 45 minutes without explanation before we are transported by bus to this farm. We are divided into 2 groups of about fifteen people. Quick explanations of the operation of the farm and the reindeer lifestyle , by a young man dressed in traditional dress , tasting a hot juice and cupcakes (10mn max). Reindeer sleigh ride 5mn. And reindeer feeding 5/10 minutes. The trip lasts 45 minutes no more! The kids love it! In the end this remains the main thing
Could do better

2.00Arrived on time but waited 45 minutes for the transport to bring us to the reindeer farm. Once we reached the farm, the sled ride was interesting and fun for sure, and we did get to pet the reindeer’s as well as feed them. Afterwards, we were brought into a traditional hut and were given warm drinks which were appreciated, however the actual portion where we were told fun facts and information about the reindeers lasted for at most 10 minutes. Once done, we waited nearly half an hour for transport back to the city. All in all, we had lots of idle and waiting time whilst the actual tour lasted for at most 45 minutes. Not sure if this is the same for other reindeer tours but the ones I experienced in Tromso were much better.
Definitely recommend

5.00We just love it! Sled ride was cozy and nice. After it, we feed some reindeer and take photos with them. Then we get some cookies and warm drink and listen storys about reindeers.

5.00It’s well worth going especially to hear the information given by the reindeer herder she’s very good
It was ok.

3.00Was just ok. Most of the time you will spend waiting. At the waiting point, on the bus, to get on the bus, for the reindeer sledge. Actual activity is roughly 5-10 min sledge ride in a circle and a quick feeding session of the Reindeer. Nice presentation about reindeer themselves after the ride with a hot drink. All in all, might be good for kids if they are patient but not a large amount of actual content for this. Maybe husky excursion has more to it.
Very touristy, not worth the effort or money.

2.00The tour was expected to start at 2 at the farm, but it was delayed by over an hour. The farm was running behind due to previous tours running late. The good part though was the team was able to accommodate our group in the huts while we waited our turn to see the reindeers. The ride itself was barely 15 mins long. Overall, it was a very underwhelming and disappointing experience.
