    We went on the Skoterguiden tour with snow-mobiling to the Icehotel on 27 Dec 2009. We would like to say thank you and to highly recommend this tour. The guide (Hans) was very friendly, enthusiastic and informative. We had a lot of time on the snow-mobiles and as much time as we wanted to visit the Icehotel and historic church.

    The Snowmobile tour to the Icehotel is a great fun. It was such a fun to drive the Snowmobile through the nature. And the Icehotel was so amazing, to see want can be build by snow and ice. We had lunch at the Icehotel with delicious reindeer and moose. Hans our guild was friendly and explains a lot about the nature and the Sami people. It was a great day, thank you

    I took the northern light tour by snowmobile with Hans on January 7,2010. I was very impressed by this tour. Not only because of the fastastic snow mobile and very beautiful sky with a million of stars, but also the hospitality and service my of Hans. He was so great. I paid only 700 SEK. It was a very cheap student price compared with other company. In the tour, we also had a chance to taste the reindeer's heart. It is yummy. I spent my time to write this comment because from my over one year experience as a student in Sweden. Hans is the first Swedish who offers me an impressive service. I recommend those who want to take the snowmobile to contact him. He offers a reasonable price. I am guarantee that you will get more than you pay.

    Because our guide's car was broken and he had to get a rental car we visited the icehotel, sami church and then went snowmobiling in the evening and saw the northern light, perfect. There is no rush in looking around at the icehotel because you can just call if you want more time. I was impressed by the history and culture as he told us about the sami church and the local area. The snowmobile tracks around and up the mountain combined with the great view on Kiruna and the northern light make it a great experience. A stop in the wooden hut with a nice fire, sandwich and taste of reindeer hearth was a nice break in between snowmobiling. A good trip!

    We took a tour with Hans on Dec 31 2010. He is a wonderful storyteller and historian. The trip was gorgeous. Quiet paths, wide open wilderness, zooming under arches of trees. The stop in the handmade wooden hut was a welcome treat, and reindeer heart really was tasty! I highly recommend this trip to any big trips booked through the IceHotel. It will be a small group on isolated tracks, as opposed to masses of people going to well-worn locations.

    THE Perfect activity : Small groups, very good service and guiding, very warm clothes, incredible landscapes especially when it is good weather, stops for nice pictures, sensations with the speed of snowmobiles, the Ice hotel is just amazing and a unique experience. This activity lasts a whole day and really worth it !! Very good mix between liberty sensations, confortable because you can be in small groups so choose to be just with friends, nature and Icehotel visit. Moreover, Hanse and his wife are really kind and helpful.

    There were no better way to conclue our trip to Kiruna! The weather was really nice and the path Hanse took us to was the most representative of Lapland, so with the spped of the snow mobiles and the sensation it gave, it was just breath taking! The advantage is that you can do that in small groups, it's more personal and less "business"!! For students it is really cool, hanse and his wife are picking you up at your hotel, no need to look for the place during hours in the cold! He is absolutely not greedy on the clothes which is perfect, you don't want to be cold on these engines. The guiding tour of the Ice Hotel lasts 30 minutes so its the perfect lenght. And you have way enough time to visit it by yourself before the lunch break, and there's a lot to see! It is so impressive you can't stop watching at the details! It takes the all day and you don't see it pass away ! It is an adress to keep !!!

    Awesome! An incredible adventure. The activity starts with picking up in our hotel, welcome and journey to the office, place where we got extremely warm clothes: fully adapted for snowmobile. The contact with the guide Hans was friendly and warm despite the negative temperature outside! Perfect day with time to learn how to drive the snowmobile and the trip starts. We drove through the forest, the frozen lakes: good sensations and amazing pictures to take. The visit at the ice hotel was included, with an English speaker guide and as free time to visit as wanted. Hans continued the trip and guided us in a nice Sami church on the border of the river. Hans shared his passion for this region with enthusiasm and dynamism. To conclude, perfect trip, all included, fully organised, in small groups on isolated tracks, with a very attractive and passionate guide: Hans. Thank you so much, that was more than we could expect!

    This tour was excellent, lots of fun on the snowmobile, the clothing was good quality and the guide Hanse very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his role. We missed the English guided tour around the Ice Hotel but Hanse took us into one or two rooms and gave us a lot of information about the ice hotel and left us to discover it ourselves. We only had a small group which made the trip better. Excellent and well recommended. Thank you

    It was a memorable trip! We started with a snowmobile trip night ride to Ice Hotel. It was an half hour trip but it gave us a warm up. Then we visited the Ice-Hotel! We visited Ice-Bar in Stockholm before but Ice-Hotel was so different and pretty. After the visit, we took a traditional Swedish dinner then we rode the snowmobile in an absolute dark environment through a snowy forest. We then stopped on the lake to wait for the Aurora light. The other day we rode the snow mobile to the peek of a small hill. In the middle, we took a break for lunch.We started with bread with ham and then reindeer with curry potato, finishing with hot coffee! We felt so warm even the weather was so cold! Although the weather was not so nice, we had great fun and great experience! Excellent!

    So much fun!! It definitely worthed. I went with snowmobile trip in March 2010 plus entrance to Ice Hotel. We even did a little bit extra kilometer, with 100kr extra, so we can drive more and see more stuff there. It was a whole day and we didn't regret it. Took a lot of nice photos with the view and the guide was really nice. He explained everything and took our photos (good one) too. The lunch was a buffe and with very much choices. We love it! I accidentally left my cellphone in his car and he nicely send it back to me. Nice and honest man!! Thank you for everything Hans.. You are such a nice guy!!
