“We were very disappointed with this tour. Miguel was friendly and picked us up from the hotel. Contrary to the description of the activity, this was not a river tour. We were driven to a lake about 30-40 minutes outside of Rovaniemi, where we were given a single kayak. These were not canoes either. After that, we were left to paddle alone on the lake for 2 hours at sunset. It was not a guided tour, and we didn’t learn anything about the area or Finnish culture.

“Nos lo pasamos genial, tanto mi hija como yo. Conocimos una auténtica granja de renos y aprendimos mucho sobre ellos. Pudimos darles de comer y tocarlos. La dueña ofreció un té con galletas y nos explicó todo sobre ellos. También disfrutamos con los huskies y el paseo en carro. El lago es espectacular, y el guía, muy atento y profesional.
