“This tour doesn't make much sense if you're starting from Rovaniemi. It's a very long drive and the activity itself is way too short. You spend a whole day on it. The guide is basically just there for transportation. We were picked up in an old car with a broken door and were indirectly criticized by the guide for opening the door too wide because they would then have to pay for the repairs themselves. We found that really unpleasant. Of course, we didn't do it on purpose. This incident left us with an unpleasant feeling, so we no longer felt comfortable. As for the amethyst mine itself, the presentation…”

“Friendly and interesting guide. Good organization. Breathtaking scenery and interesting tour of the mine with a fun little search for small stones at the end for 15 minutes.”

“Super guide: friendly and competent. Excellent bikes adapted to powder snow. Fabulos view at the top of the hill. Digging for stones was too long”

“Întreaga experiență a fost minunată, iar Dima, ghidul nostru, a fost extraordinar. O activitate unică.”

“We were a family of 4 adults, aged 40-70, and two children, aged 10 and 12. Our tour guides were helpful and informative. The tour included winter clothing use if needed, the drive to and from the mine (about 1.5 hrs each way), the actual mine tour, and lunch BBQ at a beautiful river area. The mine tour included the ride in the snow tractor, which was quite interesting and had a midway stop with beautiful scenery and a coffee shop. The mine Info talk was given by one of the mine employees, followed by the amethyst dig. The time at the mine was shorter than I expected but still…”

“We had a wet day. So didn't really do any walks. The mine was exactly as expected. Make sure to grab a pulla and coffee from the Cafe. The lunch provided was very good. And our guide had great stories and very willing to take group photos. They even provided chicken nuggets for the picky eaters.”

“Amazing landscape, the mine was worth a visit. We just wish that we had more time to walk a bit in the nature or at least enjoy it without rush (e.g. 10-15min per change of vehicle and on the summit), just like the break at the middle station which was very nice! The time in the mine digging was 30min and we thought it was well chosen as it's quite chilly there. We found some small pieces of Amethyst and were allowed to keep a few. We'd recommend this tour to anyone who just wants to go to the mine while having a good look out the window - if…”
