Super guide in Jordi - he did everything he could to give us the best experience. We saw northern lights and grilled sausages over an open fire in the white winter landscape. An absolutely wonderful experience. However, the sleigh ride was somewhat bumpy and not so comfortable, but it is not the guide or the self's fault;)

Absolutely amazing!

A truly magical experience - while we didn't get to see the lights on this trip - the guides and the experience were truly amazing. In fact we were so impressed with them, we booked 2 more tours through the comany - Ice Fishing with Parvho (what an exceptional individual - he made the trip so special!), and then we did the Ice Floating with Julie - and were blessed to get the most magical northern lights display. Thank you Nordic tours - you made our time in Rovaniemi truly one to remember.

An excellent evening with Angelo hunting for the Northern Lights. Unfortunately we didn’t see any lights but Angelo was so informative, we learnt a lot! We were able to cook our sausages over an open fire (this was rather hard with 14 people all trying to push their sausages into the same fire- this was probably the only negative of our trip). It was a really wonderful experience!
