Dont think this was value for money.The guide was good showed us the sites of Rovaniemi and told us about the history of finland and Rovanoemi.We went to Santa village the day before on the local bus at a cost of €24 return for a family of 5. We did most of the things to do there on our own with no problems If your staying in Rovaniemi i wouldn't do this tour just catch the number 8 bus or santa express bus which is approx 10min bus ride that drops you off right outside Santa's Village and picks you up.
Absolutely the worst tour we've been...

Absolutely the worst tour we've been on . Pity I had to give it one star. Please save your money and catch a Santa bus to the village, get a map and do a self guided tour. You'll need half a day to get around the village. Our tour of Rovaniemi was being shown a frozen river, nothing else, no explanation, no interaction, nothing. The guide was not local From Russia asked to help out his friend, not sure if this was the issue. At the village, we were rushed about, hovered over in the shops, to the extent that the guide felt like a security guard. I've never been so uncomfortable in someone's company and couldn't wait for the time to come to an end. A massive let down as this was susposed to be the high light of our trip.
I was a little disappointed in that...

You have just got to go and see Santa Claus when in Rovaniemi, no matter the time of year, and combining it with this private tour around the town is a great way to do it. Costs for photos etc at Santa's place are extra and stiff, but when will you ever be back here, and you get a private audience with the old man. My guides, a Russian and a Ukrainian guy, were very good and I booked another tour with them, to Ranua Zoo, which was also good.
Santa Village is a magic place where...

Wir hatten den Ausflug mit 2 Erwachsenen und 3 Kindern gemacht die sich riesig drüber gefreut hatten. Leider war das Ergebnis ernüchtern. Das Dorf war mit 2 Häusern arg traurig. In dem einen ein Souvenir Laden wo im Hinterhaus der Weihnachtsmann saß. Schnelles abfertigen war angesagt. Und im 2 Haus die Poststation. Das wars. Dafür haben wir 470 € gelegt. Eintritt wie beschrieben Fehlanzeige. Wir mussten noch zusätzlich die Husky Farm plus Rentier gucken nochmal alles separat zahlen. Unser Reiseführer war okay aber dem Preis absolut nicht gerecht.
Response from Host , Dec 2019
Dear Tom,
we are very sorry we haven't met you expectations. Rovaniemi is a small city and Santa Clause Village is also quite a small place famous for being the official residence of Santa Clause. We try our best to make it as fun as possible with our professional guides and city tour that we add to a Village. Hope you will enjoy our other tours and will have fun in Rovaniemi or in our other destinations.
Thank you for choosing our products.
Warm regards,
Alissa
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
