Wonderful experience - A 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.

Great trip great guide shame the lights never showed up - Firstly 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.

High recommend - Due to the weather condition, they helped us change from snowmobile to ATV, it was an amazing experience!!! Highly recommend our tour guide Louis, he is super nice, friendly and professsional. He took fantastic photos of us. Although we didn't manage to see the northern light due to the weather condition, we still enjoyed the riding and the tour in deep forest!

Great Experience - Me and my mate went on this tour with our guide Ismael on 23.01.2019 and it was by far the best part of our trip. Ismael took us to this really good spot outside of the city where we rode the snowmobiles for about 45 mins there and 45 back. As we got there we saw a faint Aurora which quickly went - Ismael then set up a fire and we had reindeer sausages. As we finished we saw a huge Aurora which lasted for about 15 minutes, it was amazing and went all over the sky flashing colours of green, purple and pink.. It is a great trip plenty of time on snowmobiles, good food, good tour guide and seeing the Aurora was the icing on the cake. 100% recommend.

Tours usually less than originally offered - Very 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)

Not so good at all - The 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.
