Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our holiday with Nordic unique travels in Finnish Lapland was excellent! In addition to the wonderful place, the tour guides and the staff at the agency made it a truly remarkable holiday. Although we were quite prepared for the cold, they also offered the full Arctic gear for mostly all activities. All transfers and arrangements went very smoothly and they were always punctual on all occasions. The meals were very nice (where included) and the guides chose the best places that catered for vegetarians (as we were).
Massive thanks to Marcelo who is one of the best and most helpful travel agents I've ever come across (having travelled quite a bit!). I feel very lucky to have found him and his company on tour radar! He helped us put together an amazing itinerary and recommended the best accomodation as well as tours that we thoroughly loved. He was always very prompt in replying, very knowledgeable and provided accurate answers to all our questions when we were in the planning stages. He is a true asset to the company and without him we may not have been able to organise our holiday to perfection!
Sarka was the best guide we had on our tour (icebreaker). She is a lovely person, extremely friendly and provided exceptional customer service. Really made our trip very special and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time throughout!
We were happy to have Malcolm as our guide on the snowmobile tour as he was highly experienced and skilled. Being very new to this activity, we needed extra guidance which he kindly provided and also supported us patiently to ensure that we thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience. His passion and enthusiasm for snowmobiling and Finland was very heartwarming :)
Clement was a very pleasant and helpful guide, never rushing us and ensuring we had a beautiful time at one my most favourite places (Ranua zoo).
I cannot recommend them highly enough! We would love to visit Lapland again and wouldn't think twice about booking with them :)))

It was the last day of our winter break in Lapland and we had the idea of having a night-time sauna and a jacuzzi on the shores of a lake, therefore we decided to book this activity at Nordic Unique Travels. We knew that it would have been unique and fascinating but not that much. First of all we met our guide, a french girl whose name is Oriane. She is so friendly and she has the ability to put you immediately at ease. Moreover she speaks fluently and clearly english. She drove us to this wonderful place about 15 minutes from Rovaniemi and gave us all we need to really enjoy ourselves inside the sauna ( from towels to cold drinkable water ). The sauna itself was brand new, made of black fragrant wood and really spacious whereas the 2 jacuzzis were outdoor, just in front of the lake. The lake was not only part of a magnificent landscape, it was also a brave way to cool you down after the sauna or the jacuzzi. After two hours of relax she invited us to eat marshmallows and drink berry juice in front of a campfire, inside a typical lappish kota while we spent a great time talking to this guide who has the rare quality of being "human" as well as professional.
I highly recommend trying this experience, for us it was worth all the money spent.

It's our pleasure to have Clement as our tour guide during this trip. We actually feel awkward when we met up because it's also our first time to travel with a tour guide. Clement (we called him Ah Hao) break the ice when we start our journey by introducing the details for our trip yet we get more excited after some conversations. He really did a good job in multitasking as we actually chat about 3-4 hours while he was driving us to next destination. He shared lot of stories that he experienced in Finland & Norway so we could understand more and adapt to the environment. He put efforts to help us looking for northern lights (driving here and there with some snowstorm) even though that's not our main interest and well.. is not our lucky day to see northern light. There are still many small details about his good will in helping us at any point of time! It's kinda upset to split away with Ah Hao when it comes to the end of the whole trip even we only knew for 3 days, we really appreciate all the times we travel and have fun together! We would definitely pick u again as our tour guide for next visit!! We will keep in touch and all the best to you! (p/s: We feel so lucky to meet you twice on the next two days during our stay in Rovaniemi!)

Our family was really excited about doing this night tour to see the northern lights and experience a night ride. First, we were strongly encouraged NOT to use the snow suits. We were told it’s not really that cold; not to worry of was only just 1 degree. Super bad advice! Most people took the advice, and their bodies and hands were frozen the whole trip. We were even being told how to shake our bodies to keep our hands from freezing half way Through the ride. ( We could of just been given gloves to begin with....). Anyway, as soon as we left we were also told there would be no northern lights, they haven’t seen them in many months. So, why was this the title of the tour? A day time ride is way better to see the forest and appreciate where you are in the world. I would not recommend the night snowmobile ride just because you see nothing and it’s generally colder and much windier.

Dear Vashon4family,
Thank you for your feedback, we sometimes tell to people that already have good snow gears to not wear overalls because the clothes are enough, mostly if it was +1 one degree, and with overalls you can sweat and get more cold.
Sorry to hear that you were too cold during the experience, anyway we always give gloves for snowmobile rides so it is really weird if you didn't recieve any.
I don't know also who told you that we haven't seen the northern lights for months because that is also not true.
We are sorry that you did not enjoy the snowmobile ride, and we would have to have more information about it so we can know what to do about it.
Let us know at lorenzo@nordictravels.eu
Best regards,
Lorenzo, Nordic Unique Travels

Did 3 tours with Nordic Unique Travels and they were all arranged perfectly!
The first one was a 10km husky sleigh ride, our guide Lorenzo drove us to a husky farm an hour drive away from Rovaniemi. These people take really good care of the dogs and it was an unforgettable experience in the middle of the woods.
The second tour was the snowmobiling and ice fishing experience. We were a group of almost 40 students, but they arranged it perfectly and divided us into two groups. A special thanks to our guides Lorenzo, Jordi and Matias!
The last tour we did was the northern lights photography tour with Lorenzo. We saw beautiful northern lights and received a lot of pictures the day after. Afterwards, we enjoyed a small barbeque where we had the chance to warm up a little bit.
Highly recommended!

Dancing with the lights over Lapland 🤌🏼
Hello everyone, we planned a northern light tour with Nordic Unique Travels. That was literally top-notch and well-organized experience. All started by gathering at the meeting point in their office which is located in the city center. Then we were driven around 60-70 km away to catch and hunt the lights over a frozen lake side. At the beginning, we were a bit hopeless about seeing it thats because during the day the weather was very cloudy and not clear sky at the city center. When we arrived that lake side, we got extremely excited, this time clouds were gone and we were able to see them all. Very fascinating moment and atmosphere 🫠😍
All in all, it was so amazing and absolutely great night with a barbecue of sausages and marshmallows by drinking a hot cup of blueberry tea right next to the campfire. We got warmed by the wood fire. Also, we would like to thank the photographer guy named Romain specifically, he was very patient and ambitious to catch those wonderful pics with the lights in the background almost without warming himself and resting like he was taking his own pics. He took several pics of each person without getting bored. We highly recommend them to anyone who is eager to see the unique Northern lights 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Warm regards from Turkey,
Can

昨天晚上是一个阴云密布的雪天，我们心中存着各种看极光的质疑踏上了极光专业摄影团，带队的摄影师兼司机是意大利小伙子Lorenzo，随队导游是台湾小伙Ralph。连续两处观测点都是阴云密布，雪花也一直在飘，我们只好先开始篝火野餐，虽然不是很丰盛，但是酸甜暖暖的莓果茶，驯鹿肉肠烤玉米和面包也让孩子们乐此不疲。餐后我们就继续了追光之旅。一直到晚上十一点依然雪花飞扬，可是Lorenzo依旧在不停的看着云层图，终于当车停下时，天上的星星开始闪现，极光也由弱变强，直到我们用肉眼看到像火狐狸的尾巴一样在闪动，像彩虹一样绿色和紫色组成的极光。我们实在太幸运了
Last night was a cloudy and snowy day. We doubted the possibility of watching Aurora We, 7persons, joined the Aurora Professional Photography Group. The leading photographer and driver were the Italian guy Lorenzo, and the guide was Taiwanese guy Ralph. The two consecutive observation points were overcast and the snowflakes were constantly drifting. We had to start the campfire picnic first. Although it was not very rich, the sweet and warm berry tea, the reindeer sausage grilled corn and bread also made the children happy. . After the meal we continued our journey of chasing aurora. Snowflakes continued until eleven o'clock in the evening, but Lorenzo was still watching the clouds, and finally when the car stopped, the stars in the sky started to flash, and the aurora also changed from weak to strong, finally we saw like it with the naked eye, like the fox's tail flickers, and like the rainbow with green and purple Strips. We are so lucky~

Not recommended at all. Here you will find an agency that obviously exploits the ignorance of tourists to make as much money as possible. Mass delivery only.
We took part in 5 tours (UNFORTUNATELY!!!!! We stupidly booked in advance.)
The reindeer ride with farm experience is an absolute failure and worth reporting to an animal welfare authority... farm experience is zero. As soon as we moved a few meters away from the actual point, we and our kids were immediately whistled back. There was nothing to look at except 2 reindeer tied up. The sleigh ride is an absolute joke!!!! Mini-round, unwilling reindeer - honestly: are you serious for this price???? And barely half an hour later we were back on the bus...
Visiting Santa Claus City through this agency is a waste of money - the entrance fee there is €0 - but of course you pay a lot through Nordic Unique Travels!!
The snowshoe hike was cool - really...
It was totally stupid of us to book Northern Lights tours in advance. You don't know what the weather is like! And I'll tell you one thing: They'll drive with you for 3 hours through a snowstorm just to do their job!!! No possibility to postpone or whatever: booked - so we drive. What a joke! (I know that if you don't see it (which no one can do anything about) you can repeat it within a year or something like that...). 3 hours of driving for the environment - yeah!
The guides are cool, but they don't actually have much knowledge of the country and the animals and so on.
Every time you were in the office you felt like you were at a train station. Absolute mass production. Not recommended at all, especially with kids! Especially because you were constantly brought there to wait forever for everyone else and then at some point the tour started. By the way, the waiting times are considered tour times...
A disgrace at these prices!
1 star goes to the great suits, which really keep you warm and tight, and the shoes were also great.
Otherwise: NEVER AGAIN! Under no circumstances book in advance!! You're better off renting a car and driving yourself.

Sehr geehrter Kunde,
wir bedanken uns dafür, dass Sie uns auf Ihre Bedenken aufmerksam gemacht haben und entschuldigen uns aufrichtig für die Enttäuschung, die Sie während Ihrer Touren mit uns erlebt haben.
Was Ihr Feedback zur Rentierschlittenfahrt und zum Erlebnis auf der Farm betrifft, so nehmen wir den Tierschutz sehr ernst und werden die Angelegenheit weiter untersuchen, um sicherzustellen, dass unsere Aktivitäten den höchsten Standards entsprechen. Rentiere sind von Natur aus scheue Tiere, und aus Sicherheitsgründen sind unsere Aktivitäten so konzipiert, dass der Stress minimiert wird und das Wohlbefinden der Tiere gewährleistet ist.
Außerdem verstehen wir Ihre Enttäuschung über die Nordlichtertouren. Obwohl wir uns bemühen, unseren Gästen die Möglichkeit zu geben, dieses atemberaubende Phänomen zu erleben, müssen wir betonen, dass das Auftreten des Nordlichts von Wetterbedingungen abhängt, auf die wir keinen Einfluss haben. Das Wetter in Lappland kann unvorhersehbar sein, mit Wolken, die sich schnell bilden und wieder auflösen. Trotz unserer Bemühungen können wir nicht garantieren, dass auf jeder Tour Polarlichter zu sehen sind.
Ihr Feedback zu den Wartezeiten und der Dauer der Touren ist uns sehr wichtig, und wir werden daran arbeiten, uns in diesen Bereichen zu verbessern. Es freut uns zu hören, dass Ihnen die Schneeschuhwanderung Spaß gemacht hat und dass die bereitgestellte Kleidung und das Schuhwerk Sie in Finnland gewärmt haben. Ihr positives Feedback zu diesen Aspekten unserer Touren wissen wir zu schätzen.
Wir entschuldigen uns nochmals für die Unannehmlichkeiten, die Ihnen entstanden sind, und danken Ihnen, dass Sie uns Ihr Feedback mitgeteilt haben. Wir werden Ihre Anmerkungen nutzen, um unseren Service zu verbessern und sicherzustellen, dass zukünftige Gäste eine positivere Erfahrung machen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Ihr Nordic Unique Travels Team

As part of a semi-organized trip, we asked our advisor for advice on an excursion to observe the potential Northern Lights. He takes us on the excursion to this establishment, in rave terms. We trust him and pay 110 euros per person. What a disappointment: a chaotic organization, dozens of people waiting at the same time in front of the agency for the departure of several excursions scheduled at the same time. No explanation from the agents who run in all directions, their noses glued to their smartphones. We can only wait. We are obliged to inquire with other customers. We leave a good hour late with 60 other people even though we had paid for 1 mini bus with a maximum of 12 people. On the 1st spot, the braziers are installed a few centimeters from the exhaust of the bus which is running at full speed (it is -34 degrees, it is normal for the engine to run but not so close to the customers 😬). We are offered 1 sausage from a supermarket package and 1 ear of corn to share. We follow our photographer guide Arthur for photos and explanations. Arthur was very professional and very pleasant. We owe him our only positive memory of this excursion.

Cher client(e),
Merci pour votre temps et votre avis. Veuillez noter que l´excursion que vous avez réservé est une activité de groupe, ce qui signifie que d'autres clients sont libres de la rejoindre. Pendant la haute saison, les groupes peuvent être plus volumineux. Sachez que nous proposons également une excursion similaire avec une option en petit groupe si vous souhaitez partir avec un groupe plus restreint.
Nous apprécions vos commentaires positifs sur notre photographe et vous remercions de votre aimable considération sur le fait que l´observation des aurores boréales ne peut pas être garantie du fait qu´elles sont soumises aux conditions météorologiques et aux activités solaires.
Merci encore pour votre retour et nous sommes désolés pour les éventuels désagréments dus à la taille des groupes en haute saison en Laponie.
Cordialement,
L'équipe de Nordic Unique Travels

We did the Snowshoe Adventure and the Ice Float Experience, both of which were highly enjoyable.
The Snowshoe experience was a beautiful walk through a snow covered forest, our guide was a great instructor of how to use the shoes, and was very knowledgeable about the trees and wildlife in the forest. During the tour we also got to stop for some yummy reindeer sausages cooked over a fire.
The Ice Float Experience came recommended to us and we are so glad that we did it, probably one of the most unique experiences of our whole trip. To be able to float in a frozen lake under a gorgeous night sky is an in credible thing. Unfortunately we didn't see the lights due to cloud cover and some light snow, but we can imagine how incredible it would be to see them like that. They cut a hole in the lake just for the floating area so it's almost impossible to float away, and they give you a full dry suit. We could still feel the cold of the water but not uncomfortably so, and adding some additional layers under the suit would fix that, and we could still stay out in the water for about 45 minutes. A very simple activity but one of the highlights of our trip.
The office was very easy to find and located almost in the middle of Rovaniemi, however was quite small so could get crowded immediately prior to the tours departing and we were encouraged to wait outside until the tour began which could be unpleasant if it was not god weather. Very friendly staff and well organised.

Hey there, we will arrive in Rovaniemi tomorrow and think about doing the Horse Riding tour you offer on GetYourGuide on Saturday. I am a horse rider but my husband is not. Does he need further knowledge of horseriding or can he do the tour as a beginner? Thanks for your help - we could not find an answer to this question in the description of the tour as nothing is stated about whether you need experience or not. Kind regards

Hi, how long will the husky ride be? It says "short ride" so we think if its better to book two separated tours. We would like to have a husky ride of about at least one hour, and snowmobile the same. We are two people. What should we book with your company?
Written 26 December 2019
We did the husky/reindeer/snowmobile tour. The husky and reindeer were very short. Maybe 10 minutes each. The snow mobile was probably an hour and a half. Sounds like you want to different safaris. One husky. One snow mobile. How this helps?

Thank you for your questions. The tour will be with a local farm, not the ones in Santa Claus Village.
