3.00Very nice guide. However, the tour was 1 1/2 hours shorter than originally stated... The BBQ was a sausage and marshmallow...not the world. We have booked several tours with Nordic Unique Travel and most of them are certainly cheaper or you can do some things better yourself (e.g. Santa Claus Village)
Wonderful experience

5.00A unique experience. When I booked I wasn't sure if they would send me a guide in Spanish, since to ensure it they asked me to pay an extra fee. To my surprise, the guide was, and the excursion, being during the off-peak season, was just for us. Jordi, our guide, was super attentive to us, especially with the girls, he told us curiosities about Rovaniemi, the local fauna and the auroras. And although the aurora was slightly visible, we loved the snowmobile experience. Thank you so much!! We will definitely recommend this company, and if we return we will repeat with them.
Not so good at all

2.00The activity was supposed to be 4 hours but at the end it was only 2 hours. The barbecue was only 1 saussage and 2 marshmallows. And no Nordic lights.
Amazing tour

5.00Firstly I was surprised to find that we were the only people because we had booked the photography trip. Our guide Mario was extremely nice and helpful. He explained everything. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the lights but you can’t blame Mario for that. The weather changed while we were out which reduced our chances but the company sent another guide out to our location to say we were going to go by car to another place where we might see them. They didn’t have to do this so that was a nice touch. Snowmobiles were good fun to drive but my wife in the back found it very bumpy. I would recommend it even without the lights.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE NORTHERN LIGHTS+SNOWMOBILE

5.00We did the excursion with snowmobiles to see Aurora Boreales and barbecue in the middle of Nature.The snowmobiles were the best in Rovaniemi and took us to the place where the Aurora Boreales were best seen ;The guide that Belen took us ,was very friendly and explained everything about Aurora Boreales after doing the excursion with snowmobiles;The treatment when we arrived at the office was very good and the price is good for everything that includes .We got to see Aurora Boreales 😀😀😀😀 It is not always possible because you depend on many variables ; if you do not get to see them so - you get an excursion on snowmobiles and a barbecue . Unique experience ,we will repeat.Thank you Belen and the whole company 😘😘😘
To repeat!!
