    More Time required or Depend on public transport

    Haritha_N, Jan 2026
    Good day spend, more time required to explore complete area, this tour with limited time is not recommended as public transportation is available throughout and on your convenience. Superb buffet lunch offered and it was tasty.

    Good one in terms of how...

    Good one in terms of how the tour was organised. Tour included a good lunch and pickup/drop. But we didn’t have enough time to explore the Santa village on our own because the tour had to end at 12 with lunch. Felt it was a little rushed.

    Brilliant tour

    They planned the trip perfectly so we did not have to wait in any lines with our kids. The tour guide was extremely friendly and accommodating.

    Awesome guide made it really fun, The village is magical I felt like a child again. Only a short wait for Santa Yummy lunch in with the price. We chose to satay longer and not come back with the tour, there is a bus stop on site. Lovely day thankyou

    Great experience

    Nicola_T, Nov 2024
    It was nice, we get to take pictures with Santa Claus and artic circle, we would like to come again if possible

    Got to see Santa!

    Gene_F, Nov 2024
    We went at perfect time as the line to see Santa was not very long. It had snowed the night before making it more festive with all the fresh snow on trees and roofs. Our guide was great and she gave is plenty of time to shop or just see the village.

    Not worth the money and effort

    BINU_J, Jul 2024
    Photo with Santa Claus was good but overall not worth the money. Entry to the village is free. Except for Santa Claus picture for which Anycase one has to pay separately, all others are just shops. There is not any theme or any free activities for the price we paid. Lunch might cost about EUR 25 but we paid a whopping USD 109 per person.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Hello, we are sorry to inform you that all is described in the activity when you booked, you should expect to have what we mention, but it is unfait to write this review about no other free activities when you have already aknowledged the inclusions of this activity, of course in summer there is not on high season so many things are also not available besides shops
