This tour will get you to the front of the line to meet Santa. The snowmobiling was fun and reindeer farm nice. I wish the group size was a little smaller because there would be less waiting but it’s their busy season so understandable! Brought our 5 and 8yr old who surprisingly didn’t complain too much. They started to lose…”

“Great value tour, we loved the snowmobiling and the fact we got to tick off so many experiences in one tour. I would however, recommend that the tour operator separates customers into smaller groups from the beginning and clearly communicate this to customers. This would speed transitions up and cut out some of the waiting around we had. There’s also not many chances to get food or drink on the tour so bring some with you. We were so glad we had some snacks and water in our bag!”
