I assume it wasn’t communicated well enough that we meet up straight away. Therefore we only had 1 hour of driving. The stew was very nice, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The reindeer herd were 6 sleeping reindeer in an enclosure ( should not be advertised as part of tour). The ice domes were a bit of a letdown and we were a bit rushed, but the art work was spectacular. The bus drivers were friendly and…”

“This was an amazingly fun experience with a fantastic guide. It was fun! fun! fun! The snowshoeing was loads of fun and incredibly easy to pick up so great for most people. The toboganning was like being transformed back to your child hood days. It was really fun, exhilarating and pretty safe despite your knees knocking at the end. The trip flowed really well with no time to get bored and the bonfire if you got time for it was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this trip for families and people of all ages. Snowshoeing in the park was also a very beautiful experience”
