Andrea Dotto
“Such a magical experience. We did the walking with huskies in the snow covered forest. Our guide was really nice and welcoming. You can tell the dogs are living their best life at the farm. Thank you so much!”

“We did the aurora hunting husky walking tour and had an amazing time. We saw plenty of northern lights and got to have lots of cuddles with our own dog. Jiri was an awesome guide, and you could tell that he really loved all the dogs. The dogs seem to be very well looked after, which is very important to me when choosing a tour. Highly recommend Ilonka :)”
