Excellent day. First time hiking in snowshoes and our guides gave us a good challenging path with spectacular scenery. To end it off the Yurt fire and BBQ was great. Absolutely loved this outing it was perfect.

Anna (or Ana?) is a very gracious and passionate guide. She really knows her stuff about outdoors (wildlife, hiking and being out in the wild). It was a good cardio leg workout :) Wild about Lapland was very accommodating of our request to change pick up and drop off locations
Very beautiful experience

Beautiful nature walk in the forest with our guide Atanas, he was kind and attentive. Very professional he provided us with many explanations about the environment and answered all our questions with great precision. We ended our hike at a quiet pace around a barbecue in a friendly atmosphere, a beautiful experience and a beautiful meeting. Very good memory. I recommend 100%.
Amazing experience with an amazing guide!

Absolutely amazing! Belencita was an amazing tour guide. She showed us how to use the snowshoe, took care of everyone’s speed, showed us how to light fire and got some sausages and hot drinks. She was really energetic and keen to help us get the entire experience. We just felt may be we could have spent more time in the wilderness. P.s. she clicks amazing photos!

We had a very cool snowshoe hike in a small group. Ruben, our guide, led our trip very well and gave us a very nice hike. During the hike he provided us with information about Finnish culture and the north. The atmosphere was great and we can definitely recommend Wild about Lapland!

We spent two hours with Santi, our guide, walking in the snow west of Rovaniemi. We climb enough to have a view on the horizon, and that was an amazing one. Snow, animals' print, different type of tree, Santi was able to explain everything. In winter, walking in the snow in Finland is easy for everybody, but it's not the same to discover the Wilderness with a very good guide in a good company. We will all kept memories of this walk all our life. Thanks a lot.

The meet-up was at the Wild about Lapland office. We were only 4 people including the guide, which was very nice. There, we were equipped with specific boots that fit the snowshoes and winter-proof overalls if needed. We drove for about 25min outside of Rovaniemi where we got an introduction to the snowshoes and then started walking. The walk took us up a little hill and then down to a teepee with an amazing view. There we made break to make an open fire and we had sausages, coffee and snacks. After the break it was a short walk back to the car. The activity took us about 3 hours in total. The whole walk was very nice, especially thanks to our guide, Tyler. He made the walk very special with little stories about Finnish nature and he made us feel very welcome and safe during the walk.

We went on a lovely walk in the wilderness. We started off by walking over a bridge with a great view all around. Our guid Guille told us lots of interesting information about the environment we were walking through. He was very knowledgeable about the trees and animals in Finland. We then got to a lookout spot and had a great view. Guille helped to take photos and make sure we were safe when going down the stairs from the lookout. We then walked more and stopped to have a fire and a snack. Guille was very good at having an interesting conversation and provided good food. I would highly recommend Guille as a guide for anyone.
