The best in Lapland
This tour was amazing! Picked up from our hotel by a lovely guide and very luxe vehicle. Our guide was so friendly and informative. Our visit to Santa was once in a life time! We had a short ride to glass igloos by a large lake surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. The food was local cuisine and very tasty. We sat in the igloo and felt warmth by the roaring fire and the surroundings really engulfing us in an almost mediative peace. the ATV ride through the forest was exciting and showed us the nature wonder of Lapland. Dropped back at our hotel and we would 100% recommend this tour company and this particular tour! Lou & Sean @Travellingtheworldtogether.
Response from the operator: Hi Lou and Sean, thank you so much for your kind words! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your visit to Santa was a 'once in a lifetime' experience and that you enjoyed the peace of the glass igloos. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to your guide. We hope to see you in Lapland again someday! Best wishes, The Guide Father Team

Magic that remains in the heart
A truly wonderful tour, for us it will always be unforgettable. The experience began in a small romantic cabin nestled in the forest, where we changed before leaving for an exciting snowmobile ride through a spectacular expanse of snow, in the heart of Lapland, on a tour completely dedicated just to us. Along the way we saw reindeer and experienced the unique thrill of admiring the sun and moon together in the sky over an incredible snowy landscape. Back home we had a fantastic lunch in an igloo with the fire burning in the center. Extremely professional and friendly Finnish staff, with equipment, snowmobiles and vehicles of the highest quality. The tour ended at Santa Claus Village, a bit commercial but still part of the experience. An authentic experience, with attention to every detail and really dedicated to 5🌟, which stands out from others for quality, attention and "just for us", which we will keep as one of the best memories of our travels.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful review. We’re truly honored that the tour became such a special and unforgettable memory for you. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the private nature of the experience, the snowmobile adventure, the stunning Lapland scenery, and the lunch in the igloo by the fire. We’re also very happy that our team, equipment, and attention to detail met your expectations. Thank you for appreciating the authenticity and care we put into every part of the tour. We hope to welcome you back to Lapland one day for another magical experience.

A Magical Lapland Day Santa, Snow & Igloo Dining
This tour was hands-down one of the most magical experiences of our trip! Visiting Santa’s Village felt like stepping into a Christmas storybook. Meeting Santa himself, walking through the snowy village, and exploring the charming shops was unforgettable. Afterwards, the evening just got better — dining inside a glass igloo while enjoying delicious Lapland cuisine. Sitting in the warm, cozy igloo with traditional dishes, surrounded by snow and twinkling lights outside, was an experience I’ll never forget. It felt both romantic and unique.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the magic of Santa’s Village and the cozy, romantic glass igloo dinner. It’s wonderful to hear this experience became such a memorable part of your trip. We hope to welcome you back again someday!

Awful experience
This is certainly not what is advertised! Firstly you don’t get a vip car you get a mini bus, there was no offer of any food or drink as advertised. You get taken to Santa Claus village to see Santa which is free might I add You then get a drive to Rovaniemi , to see a bridge, a church, and a frozen lake Ridiculously overpriced for what you get and very very disappointed the only positive thing was our tour guide who tried his best to communicate with us even though we did ask for an English tour guide again as advertised I would certainly recommend to stay well clear of this and it’s far cheaper to just get a taxi Will be interesting to see if the tour guide takes note of this as he has my number John from England
Response from the operator: Hello Dear John. Thank you for your message. We already had few conversations on the phone but we can also repeat it in written: During the tour you didn’t intrested that much in historical and cultural part of sightseeing tour. Later you asked to skip few main sights and attractions in Rovaniemi. Yes, Santa Village is free of charge but it doesn't mean you dont have to pay for the car service, guide l, service, taxes, guide accreditation fee. Dear John, if you are not interested in sightseeing tours during your vocations you always free to choose other themes: Sport, outdoor activitets, hiking and ect. Please learn more next time before book activity.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters cost?
+
Prices start at $299 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.
Is VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Lapland: Santa Village, Glass Igloo Lunch & Snow Scooters start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
