Would have also been nice if we could have had spare time to wonder around the farm, as that felt a little rushed. Ryan and our other guide (so sorry I forgot his name) were fab, full of fun and looked after us well. All in all a thumbs up as it was an unforgettable experience. We did the snowmobile, husky and reindeer rides in one package for half a day.”
