About rovaniemi-reindeer.com
rovaniemi-reindeer.com is an independent guide to the reindeer sleigh rides and farm visits you can book from Rovaniemi. This page explains who runs it, how it is financed and where the data comes from.
Who is behind this site
rovaniemi-reindeer.com is run by Patrick Kühne, an independent travel publisher based in Markkleeberg near Leipzig, Germany. He builds and maintains a small portfolio of guides to attraction tickets and day tours. There is no agency and no rotating editorial team behind this site. The pages are researched, written and kept up to date by one person, the same one who answers the e-mails.
What this site does
A reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi can mean a few minutes on a short track at the farm or the better part of an hour on a forest trail, and the tour names on booking platforms rarely tell you which. We read each listing, note the sled distance and, where it is given, the time on the sled, and put the rides side by side with day or evening, transfer and live prices. We are not a booking agent: every reservation happens on GetYourGuide or Viator.
How we earn money
When you book through one of our links, GetYourGuide or Viator pays us a commission. Your price stays exactly the same: the commission comes out of the platform's margin, not your pocket. No contract obliges us to favour a particular farm, and our comparison tables are sorted by review count, not by what pays us best.
Where our data comes from
Prices, ratings and review counts are pulled from the GetYourGuide and Viator partner interfaces and refreshed automatically several times a day. Sled distances, ride times, durations and meeting points come from the operators' own listings and are re-checked regularly; where a listing gives no figure, we say so instead of estimating. Found something out of date? Write to us and we will correct it.
What we are not
We do not run a reindeer farm and we are not affiliated with any of the operators whose rides we list. They run the experiences; we describe them. For binding information on cancellations, snow and weather changes or departure times, the booking page and the operator's own channels take precedence.
