“Our tour guide Ifu was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a magical day from start to finish. We loved meeting and feeding the huskies, but the highlight had to be the husky ride! Santa was adorable, very authentic and generally very loveable, and the elves were all very sweet and jolly too. We ended the tour with a relaxing reindeer carriage ride and a quick stop at Santa's post office. Sure it may have worked out a bit more cost effective if we had booked everything separately ourselves, but Ifu had it planned out perfectly, everything was well timed and she was very informative along the way. Highly recommended…”
