Highly recommend to book this tour if first time going to Finland. For a short stay in Rovaniemi, this tour covers the essentials. Negative points: (1) The only downside is that there is no time to rest and have a meal as the queue for the ride is long so last batch needed to rush after finishing the ride and (2) the departure time is same for many tours so we wasted time in changing the clothes due to many people going by tour at same time

Paul took great care of us – providing warm drinks, snacks. He helped everyone with taking professional pictures with his camera (I got some amazing shots on my phone as well!), and his enthusiasm kept spirits high all night. If you’re heading out to hunt the aurora, book a tour with Paul – he’s dedicated, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure you see the lights. Highly recommend! 10/10 would do again.

Punctual at 10.30am. We finished the whole tour within ~2h inclusive of travel. We got to feed the reindeers, take the sleigh ride, and were given some snacks after. Overall, pleasant experience and smooth-flow with this company. Also, Santa Claus Village is just nearby. I would definitely recommend!

We had a great time on this tour. Mike really did his best to chase the lights. You can tell that they're pros because of their knowledge and the tools they used. Caught the northern lights in this tour and we're very pleased.

This was a great experience for us. We were taken to 2 different places to see the Northern Lights and managed to see them. Guides were very friendly and helpful. They took great family photos for us and sent them to us. BBQ at the end was good way to warm up as it gets very cold. Would book it again. Highly recommend.

First, regarding the pick-up, the car's color and license plate were listed, making the meeting point very easy to understand. As soon as Paul found us, he immediately opened the car door and invited us in. After that, we started and headed to our destination, and his driving was very smooth and safe, making for a comfortable ride. Upon arriving at the zoo, he took care of all the entrance procedures. In the meantime, we were able to take time to prepare for departure. He also gave us a brochure and explained the route. He also adjusted the schedule, telling us what time to finish viewing so we could make our lunch reservation. When we returned, he had secured a seat for us for lunch and was waiting! And it was a seat with a great view! After lunch, we headed back, and the drive was very safe, and we returned to the hotel on time. Thank you, Paul, for the wonderful service. If you want to enjoy Ranua Zoo efficiently and comfortably in a limited amount of time, I recommend Paul's tour!! Thank you, Paul, for the day. Thanks to you, we were able to create the best memories!!
