10 out of 10 - Out of our snowy and rainy Tromso week we did get lucky on the day we have booked this tour. We were really looking for it both: the meeting with the reindeers and the sommaroy landscape. This tour is absolutely worth every single penny. The guide is such a warm and kind person, always looking out for us. It’s an actual pleasure to listen to him talking about Norway, Sami culture, reindeers etc. The reindeer experience is so authentic! Much more that we even imagined and than we saw on different videos on YouTube. You can feed them as much as you want and as long as you want. Tons of picture opportunities in a beautiful landscape in the middle of nature. 100% recommend!

A really great experience - We found this to be a really rewarding excursion learning about the Sami lifestyle and some of the history. Our driver and guide Ole Mattis was really good and calm and explained everything really well. It was great to visit the Sami tri deer herd and the young Sami herder Ulf Isla was also really informative and calm explaining lots of things about the animals and Sami life. They were both really friendly and nice. We stopped at various Fjiprds along the way to take photos and enjoy the scenery Lunch at the arctic hotel was really really great with many great food choices from the buffet. Highly recommend this but it did get cold while feeding the reindeer but we warmed up nicely once inside the Sami tent for hot drinks and Stories and it was so good that Ole sang a couple of Sami songs

3 in 1 tour- Fjords, reindeer feeding and Sami culture - The guide was very sweet and did a great job with the tour. The lunch offerings had some of the famous Norwegian dishes to try, which was perfect. Feeding the reindeers and getting to know about Sami culture was the highlight of the tour for me.
