5.00This was a great Rovaniemi experience seeing Santa and enjoying reindeer and husky rides. Paul was prompt, friendly, and professional.
Magical

5.00It was a really great day. The certificate and chocolate were really nice touches! The huskies were amazing and it was great to learn a bit about them. They are very looked after and don’t work if they don’t want to. The reindeer ride was short but sweet. The guide was really handy taking our photos. Only thing I’d change is that we had to share our husky ride with someone else which we presumed we’d get our own considering how much we’d paid.
It was magical and really great experience

Amazing tours with Refreshing North

5.00We had an amazing experience on the (1) Santa Claus village with Reindeer & husky ride (2) Ranua zoo Arctic wildlife park with private transport & lunch with Refreshing North!. Special thanks to our guide, Tirthankar Paul, who was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he guided us very well during both the tours. He also guided us buying some “warmers” from the supermarket something we didn´t know before the tour. Everything was well organized and friendly, and we wish we had booked the Northern Lights tour also with them but alas!! We came back with memories of our lives, and we would highly recommend the Refreshing North tours to anyone visiting Rovaniemi — truly unforgettable from start to finish!
Unforgettable experience!

5.00From pickup to drop-off, our tour guide Mr. Paul was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire experience. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The husky ride was such a thrill, the dogs were energetic and well cared for, and it was an unforgettable experience gliding through the beautiful scenery. The reindeer ride at Santa village and meet the real Santa was truly magical, giving us a chance to truly soak in the fairy tale atmosphere. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized, fun, and memorable adventure!

5.00It was a smooth experience. Picked up from hotel on time, the ride to the village was picturesque and our driver was super friendly and helpful. The husky ride was so much fun, do go for the longer ride if you can. The reindeer ride was fun as well. Santa village has really nice souvenier shops, cute restaurants. All in all a great trip organised by the tour operator.

5.00I enjoyed an exciting half-day private tour at Rovaniemi Santa Park with my tour guide Tirthankar Paul. I crossed the Arctic Circle, met Santa, had a short reindeer sledge ride and an exciting husky sledge ride. Once in Lapland, these are must-do activities
