Beautiful experience, the place is amazing. Our guide Pedro gave us all the necessary information and was attentive at all times.
We would have given Alex six stars if we could. Great pre tour communication, an interesting drive out to the national park, and the hike was great. We were lucky enough to have fine weather and a dusting of snow so hiking through the forest felt like a fairy tale. A herd of reindeer ran past us - magical! It was early in the season, so the frozen waterfalls were still forming, and this added to the whole experience. Tasty BBQ lunch and snacks. Highly recommended.
Nice hike in Korouoma National Park to see the canyon & frozen waterfalls. We took many photos & videos of the beautiful national park and frozen waterfalls. Our guide & driver, Alex is kind, considerate & helpful. He picked us up from our Airbnb near the city centre and drove 1.5 hour to the national park. It was -15C on that day and not cold to do the hike. Alex was always near to lend us a helping hand at the more challenging parts of the snow trek and guided us to take safer routes during the entire hike. However, it is still advisable to attach ice grippers to your hiking boots as some parts of the hike are slippery due to the icy ground and snow. As we did the trek in mid Dec with very short daylight hours and we are the only family for that trip (i.e. like our private family tour), Alex customised the trip for us to take a shorter route to see the frozen waterfalls, which we appreciated as we prefer to go at a more leisurely pace and take more photos & videos of the beautiful surroundings instead. Coming from a tropical country, this is our first snow trekking / hiking trip & we are not used to trekking in snow or icy trails and a couple of us had previous knee injuries from the past. He served us tasty sausages over a wood fire, Finnish potato bread, blueberry chocolates and homemade Glögi (Finnish mulled wine). We have tried Glögi & Glögg in Rovaniemi, Norway & Sweden. Alex’s homemade Glögi is definitely one of the best in terms of flavour and sweetness level (not overly sweet). On our way back to Rovaniemi city centre, Alex was accommodating & dropped us back at a big shopping centre for us to do some shopping. Overall, a nice & more unique activity to do in Rovaniemi. Alex is very service-oriented & keeps a look-out for his guests’ safety. We would definitely recommend him and this activity to others.
The communication with the agency was very good. They answered properly my questions & offered solutions. The hiking tour was great and Alex, our tour guide & driver, did a very good job 👏 . He was really very kind & helpful to all of us. A big compliment to Alex 🙏. It was a group of some ppl and he had everyone in mind and was always concerned about our safety. He offered himself as a photographer and made a great video in my case. Thank you so much 🙏. Greetings from Germany 💕
Great experience - very nice scenery and unique hiking trip. Alex is very helpful and accommodated our schedule.
Alex is a great guide, you will never get bored with him and he wants always to service you as you ask him, the experience is amazing if you like hiking. I recommend it
