Someone who is always cold n hungry - There are feeding of reindeer. Up close experience. The ride was good. Slow and enjoyable The guides are very nice and patient. However, it might be good to be able to house different tour group in a warm place while waiting for their turn. Advice to prepare your own beverage and snacks in case there is a queue. Then refreshment during the briefing might be a little too late.

Lovely morning spent seeing the beautiful reindeer - The guides were great. The company itself exceeded expectations - I would book a tour with them again so long as Arturo and the Italian woman were the guides.
Really enjoyed going to the farm and seeing the reindeer as well as the talk afterwards about them. Very informative.

A Must Do! - AMAZING! Our guide Arny Was so lovely. The two Sámi men who ran the experience were also great! We got to feed the reindeer, the ride was the perfect length and super relaxing and then we were given warm berry juice around a fire and learnt about the Sámi people and the practice of reindeer herding. We had the opportunity to ask any questions and they were super helpful and informative. They even gave us a restaurant and meal recommendation which we went to and was amazing! I genuinely couldn’t recommend this experience enough not just for the reindeers but for the people as well.

Excellent, once in a lifetime experience - The experience was really good. We got to ride reindeer and got to feed them as well as getting information about them. The members were very cooperative and flexible. They were really helpful and gave a lot of information about everything. We reached there by a car from Santa Clause Village which was provided. Overall it was an amazing experience and probably once in a lifetime.

It was ok. - Was just ok. Most of the time you will spend waiting. At the waiting point, on the bus, to get on the bus, for the reindeer sledge. Actual activity is roughly 5-10 min sledge ride in a circle and a quick feeding session of the Reindeer. Nice presentation about reindeer themselves after the ride with a hot drink. All in all, might be good for kids if they are patient but not a large amount of actual content for this. Maybe husky excursion has more to it.

Very touristy, not worth the effort or money. - The tour was expected to start at 2 at the farm, but it was delayed by over an hour. The farm was running behind due to previous tours running late. The good part though was the team was able to accommodate our group in the huts while we waited our turn to see the reindeers. The ride itself was barely 15 mins long.
Overall, it was a very underwhelming and disappointing experience.
