Although our guide was lovely, I would not pay what we paid for this activity. We could have got a taxi there and it would have been so much cheaper
Great tour guide Tuomas

Our group had a great time with thedriver and tour guide Tuomas. He explained everything to us in details ranging from time and place to meet to Santa Claus Village history. this tour included "to meet Santa" since tickets are required for now ofr this event. the only thing I wish this tour can do more is to take tourists to some other places in Rovaniemi.
Unforgettable

Visited Rovaniemi- Arctic 🥶 circle...Lapland! A dream come true trip... Loved the well organized tours ... for both the Rheindeers and the Huskies. We were transported there and back with all the gear you need to stay warm provided ... even a warm drink and snack ....at a fireplace inbetween the tours . The tour guides are also friendly and knowledgeable . Loved every moment of being in the snowy forest and you also have the opportunity to Stay at Santa Clause Village if you are a family with children, It’s a really awesome experience for children.

Dont think this was value for money.The guide was good showed us the sites of Rovaniemi and told us about the history of finland and Rovanoemi.We went to Santa village the day before on the local bus at a cost of €24 return for a family of 5. We did most of the things to do there on our own with no problems If your staying in Rovaniemi i wouldn't do this tour just catch the number 8 bus or santa express bus which is approx 10min bus ride that drops you off right outside Santa's Village and picks you up.
Absolutely the worst tour we've been...

Absolutely the worst tour we've been on . Pity I had to give it one star. Please save your money and catch a Santa bus to the village, get a map and do a self guided tour. You'll need half a day to get around the village. Our tour of Rovaniemi was being shown a frozen river, nothing else, no explanation, no interaction, nothing. The guide was not local From Russia asked to help out his friend, not sure if this was the issue. At the village, we were rushed about, hovered over in the shops, to the extent that the guide felt like a security guard. I've never been so uncomfortable in someone's company and couldn't wait for the time to come to an end. A massive let down as this was susposed to be the high light of our trip.
I was a little disappointed in that...

I was a little disappointed in that we did not really get a guided tour of Rovaniemi, just a history of the town as we drove through it on our way to Santa Claus Village. Santa Claus Village is mainly just a bunch of shops and a chance to see Santa.
