5.00And liked the tour very much. The driver was very friendly and accommodating. The crew at Husky Farm was also very nice and told us a lot of information. We really enjoyed the trip and can recommend it to others. We made the trip in early October and were only 4 people, which was very pleasant.
Great experience

5.00Our guide arrived on time at the agreed meeting point. Very friendly and nice. After an hour's drive we arrived at the Huskyfarm. There we were able to change and then the experience started. A guide showed us around the farm and explained everything. Later we drove an approximately 5 km round through the autumn forest. Later there was a small BBQ. All in all very nice. People were friendly and helpful throughout.
So much fun!

5.00This was my first tour I did with this company. Issak, our tour guide was great 😀 It was so much fun to do and a great way to enjoy the beautiful scenery. When the ride was finished, we were allowed to pet and cuddle the dogs, it made me all fuzzy inside. 😍 The group I did this tour with were a lot fun. 100% recommend this tour. Many thanks Alex and staff 😀
