“Christina was an awesome guide - she gave an excellent tour and situated all the food into its historical and cultural context. I got way more out of her tour than just some yummy Finnish food (although I got that too!) She was also super patient with our 4yo daughter (who was being quite naughty) and you could see her enthusiasm for the subject. Thank you so much!”

After the fishing, we were treated to glögi and grilled sausage by the campfire. We had a wonderful time, and I can highly recommend it!”

“We had a great tour with Larisa. There was our group of 4 plus another couple. We went to a number of venues and got to taste a range of interesting and high quality things. We tried a number of things that we would not otherwise have tried. (I won’t spoil the surprise by saying what they were. ) Larisa was a great guide and told us a lot about the food as well as an overview of Finnish history. Considering the foods that we got to try, we thought that the tour was good value.”
