Ha sido un Tour Fantadtici y muy divertido Iibamos con dia niñas 10/13Años y se lo han pasado fantàstico! El Guia PETER ha sido super amable y correcto y en todo momento nos pedia para sacar fotos!La Subida con las maquinas de nieve ha sido una pasada! Aunque cuando reservamos pedi mos guia en español y no ha sido asi. Y me confirmaron que si! nos han comentado que tenia mos que pagar un extra para assegurar el guia en español..primera notícia Muy recomendable!!

It was a fantastic and very fun tour! We went with two girls, ages 10-13, and they had a fantastic time! Our guide, Peter, was super friendly and professional, and he kept asking us to take photos! The ride up in the snow machines was amazing! Although when we booked we requested a Spanish-speaking guide, it wasn't included. They later confirmed that it would be available, but then told us we had to pay extra to guarantee a Spanish-speaking guide...news to us! Highly recommended!!

Grâce à notre incroyable guide Camille, nous avons passé une incroyable journée en famille ! Elle est venu nous chercher à notre logement, (elle avait bien prévu un siège auto pour notre bébé) puis nous a donné plein d’explications intéressantes sur la Laponie tout au long du trajet. Arrivés à la mine, nous avons eu la chance d’avoir un guide passionné (Pascal).Et Camille nous a donné des conseils et a toujours été aux petits soins avec nous et les enfants ; avec en surprise un barbecue top! Translate this opinion into English.

Thanks to our incredible guide Camille, we had an incredible family day! She picked us up at our accommodation (she had planned a car seat for our baby) and then gave us lots of interesting explanations about Lapland throughout the journey. When we arrived at the mine, we were lucky to have a passionate guide (Pascal). And Camille gave us advice and was always very attentive to us and the children; with a great barbecue as a surprise!

Activité très intéressante et enrichissante. On arrive dans un décor totalement dépaysant et surréaliste. Le parcours est ennivrant par sa beauté. Le fait de chercher soi même l'amethyste en creusant... comme des chercheurs d'or.... Est vraiment amusant. On repart avec sa petite pierre précieuse. Génial. Un grand Merci à mon guide, Jan ! Il m'a accompagné pour la traduction en français lors de cette sortie. Il.nous a préparé aussi un excellent repas. Super journée. Que du bonheur !!!! Translate this opinion into English.

Very interesting and enriching activity. You arrive in a completely different and surreal setting. The journey is intoxicating due to its beauty. The fact of searching for the amethyst yourself by digging... like gold diggers... is really fun. You leave with your little precious stone. Awesome. A big thank you to my guide, Jan! He accompanied me for the French translation during this outing. He also prepared us an excellent meal. Great day. Pure happiness!!! Opinion translated. Show original.

L'escursione è stata molto carina e interessante. MI è piaciuto molto visitare la miniera e cercare le ametiste. Il paesaggio era meraviglioso. La guida italiana Francesco è stata bravissima,gentilissima e si prendeva cura di tutti i membri del gruppo e traduceva dall'inglese al francese o italiano per chi ne aveva necessità. Il prezzo un pò altino ma ne vale la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was very nice and interesting. I really enjoyed visiting the mine and looking for amethysts. The landscape was wonderful. The Italian guide Francesco was very good, very kind and took care of all the members of the group and translated from English to French or Italian for those who needed it. The price is a little high but it's worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue muy bonita, haciendo una parada sobre un lago, rápida, para ver las vistas y estar encima de él. El guía, Sergio, fue super atento en todo momento, e incluso nos hacía fotos. La mina es muy bonita de ver, y de excavar. Recomiendo ir abrigado porque aún siendo interior hace frío. Las vistas desde la mina fabulosas. Para terminar, hicimos una parada para comer (nos dio la opción de elegir dónde) y fue perfecto: sandwich de reno + malvavismos + galletas + zumo. Muy completo Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very nice, making a quick stop on a lake to see the views and be on top of it. The guide, Sergio, was super attentive at all times, and even took photos for us. The mine is very beautiful to see, and to excavate. I recommend going warm because even though it is indoors it is cold. The views from the mine are fabulous. To finish, we stopped for lunch (he gave us the option to choose where) and it was perfect: reindeer sandwich + marshmallows + cookies + juice. Very complete Opinion translated. Show original.

Pudimos disfrutar de una excursión genial. La actividad fue muy interesante y entretenida. Después de la visita a la mina, hicimos una barbacoa con comida típica en un lago muy bonito. El único aspecto negativo fue que según la web de Civitatis, la actividad sería en español pero fue en inglés.

We were able to enjoy a great excursion. The activity was very interesting and entertaining. After the visit to the mine, we had a barbecue with typical food in a very beautiful lake. The only negative aspect was that according to the Civitatis website, the activity would be in Spanish but it was in English.

rapport qualité prix vraiment bof , la "visite" est une explication de 30min, puis on passe dans une petite piece chercher des amethystes. pour ce prix ça n'en vaux pas la peine. par contre tres jolie paysage et point de vu, guide de l'agence au top (comme tous les guides francophone que nous avons eu dans cette agence). c'est la seule excursion qui nous a déçu, une sensation de piege à touristes. Translate this opinion into English.

value for money really bof, the "visit" is an explanation of 30min, then we pass in a small room looking for amethysts. for this price it's not worth it. on the other hand very pretty landscape and point of view, agency guide at the top (like all the French-speaking guides that we had in this agency). it was the only excursion that disappointed us, a feeling of a tourist trap.

The activity was really nice. We learned a lot about amethysts. The mine was really nice to see as well. Our Guide, Maria, was amazing!!! Also the fireplace on a cold day and the hot blueberry drink was so tasty.

L'activité en elle même ça était. Un peu rapide la visite mais ça va. Personnel aimable. Le chauffeur un français adorable et très pro. En revanche l'organisme a été nul au niveau organisation. Mon activité a d'abord été repoussée au niveau horaires puis annulée et ensuite ils m'ont proposé une activité non adaptée pour ma fille et finalement le matin même de l'excursion je reçois des mails/ messages contradictoire donc j'ignorais ce que j'allais faire dans ma journée. Ils ne sont pas réactif

The activity itself was fine. The visit was a bit quick, but that's okay. Friendly staff. The driver was a lovely and very professional Frenchman. However, the organization was terrible. My activity was first postponed in terms of timing, then canceled, and afterwards they offered me an activity that was not suitable for my daughter, and finally, on the morning of the excursion, I received contradictory emails/messages, so I had no idea what I was going to do that day. They are not responsive.
