This was an amazing morning. It was wonderful to hear all about the Sami culture and visit the church and feed the reindeer. Yvla was an amazing guide. The Ice hotel was really brilliant too.

It’s wonderful to know that you felt warmly welcomed by our staff and by the Sámi people who shared their culture with you. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
An amazing excursion led by the wonderful Yvla who described the Sami way of life in an authoritative & friendly way. The Church is stunning, the Reindeer friendly (especially when you have food!), the Sami village is beautiful and the Ice Hotel out of this world!! Would thoroughly recommend doing this trip - you won’t regret it!!

It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed all the stops—from the beautiful church and friendly reindeer to the Sami village and the truly unforgettable Icehotel. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Really enjoyed myself. Tour guide Maya was lovely and well informed. It’s worth the money as you experience four great experiences: the church, the reindeer feeding, Sami museum and ice hotel. It was wonderful !
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you really enjoyed the tour. It’s great to know you appreciated the variety of experiences, from the church and reindeer feeding to the Sami museum and Icehotel.
Thanks to Ylva for sharing their own sami culture with such enthusiasm. We started the tour driving around Kiruna to see how the mine is transforming the city, many questions about that and Ylva answered them all. Then we visited the old church of Jukkasjärvi, the oldest in Lapland. Many questions again answered about the sami people, their religion and traditions. We headed then to feed the reindeers, a special moment outdoors even at -32°c. You can have a look at the small open air museum in this Nutti Sámi Siida sami farm and buy some craft gifts. Finally we went to visit the Icehotel, where we could spend a full hour in our own, truly interesting visit!! Thanks Scandinavian Photoadventures for this tour!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for joining our tour! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about Sámi culture with Ylva and exploring Kiruna’s transformation. Feeding the reindeer in −32°C is definitely a memorable moment! We’re also happy that you appreciated the visit to Jukkasjärvi church, Nutti Sámi Siida, and the Icehotel. It means a lot to us that you took the time to write such a detailed review. Thank you again for choosing Scandinavian Photoadventures
We really loved our time visiting the 400yo church which is in an absolutely beautiful setting, while learning about the Sami people and their religion and way of life before visiting and feeding the reindeer, and finishing the tour with the amazing ice hotel . Peter was a lovely guide and it was great to do this tour as a contrast to the other more active pursuits we undertook in Abisko and Kiruna.
