Sami Village and Siida Museum. - We had an excellent guide who was extremely knowledgeable. She was very flexible and ensured we had a wonderful time. Learning about the Sami people and their way of life was really interesting. The day was very relaxed and enjoyable.

Must go place - This is an excellent place. This village is full of activities in winter; you can do Aurora hunting by bus, snowmobile, in foot as well, Lapland Safari is a good option for that. Husky tour is excellent by Husky & Co. Skiing is perfect from here, the lifts are there in the village, they have renting place for skiing which is huge and excellent and have beginners classes as well. Riekonlinna Hotel by Lapland Hotels perhaps is the best option as a hotel there, otherwise Holiday Inn, Saariselka Inn and Hotel Tunturi are good options for Hotel and Apartment. You should have layers on for the cold there, it's easily -11 - - 20 at the winter, however you can rent jumpsuits from Lapland Safari's office which is downstairs to Riekonlinna Hotel. Cheers

Overall dissappointing - Our guide, David, was excellent. Very friendly and informative. He suggested photo stops on the road to Inari which we wouldn't have known about. He also stopped of in Ivalo for souvenir shopping, and took an unscheduled diversion to the top of thecski slopes in Saariselka. The museum is interesting, but compact. The Sami village is a collection of huts and dwellings, but there are no Sami people there to interact with or meet. In my opinion, the description on the Viator website is a little misleading in this respect. You could easily get a bus to Inari and visit the museum for much much less.
