5.00That is a private tour and Paul was excellent throughout. Plenty of flexibility in making the most of our visit. Also lunch at Santa’s Salmon Place……excellent smoked salmon. Only disappointment is lack of snow when we visited

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!
