Reviews Meet Reindeers in Rovaniemi
“It is not worthy paying for a guide, at least the one we had was not helpful at all. Zoo visit by your own and no explanation in the husky or reindeer farms.”
“All TUI excursions I went on were late for pick up - wish I had booked externally”
“I didn't feel like the sleigh ride was very good value for money. I went on a husky ride the night before with a different tour operator and it was much longer. If you book outside of TUI then you get much better experiences.”
“Buena combinación de granja de renos, con Huskys, junto con la excursión de una hora en moto de nieve, fuera del Santa Claus Village. Buena elección dejar el Santa Claus Village para el final.”
