Review of Nuuksio National Park from Helsinki, with forest hiking, seasonal snowshoes or swimming, homemade soup, and Finnish snacks.

“Lara was great! I was solo and the only person — booking in between seasons. Lara still gave me tour and it was the perfect combination of sight seeing with historical information and food and culture. She even went out of her way to bring me to a book store i had mentioned. Would definitely recommend booking this tour! And be brave, try all the foods!”
Ride a snowmobile through Finnish wilderness, try traditional ice fishing, and warm up with Lappish soup on this Rovaniemi half-day tour.
“The company is excellent, guides are awesome! They provided all the gear and really focused on safety. I travelled with my 12 year old son and did not feel Very comfortable driving so one guide took him and the other one took me. Very nice! We had soup for lunch and it was delicious!!! I highly recommend this tour!!!”
Explore Helsinki landmarks, Art Nouveau streets, and Finnish specialties from reindeer to caviar on a guided 2.5-hour food tour.
“The tour was fabulous! The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and we sampled so many wonderful different foods. 🤩”
Try Finnish ice fishing on Bodom Lake from Helsinki, with gear, transport, campfire sausages, glögi, and a small group of eight.
“Everything was amazing! David was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Unfortunately, we didn't catch any fish, but drilling the hole, fishing, and the walk on the frozen lake were all very enjoyable! 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!”
Review of Helsinki’s Baltic Bites tour, with a waterbus to Pihlajasaari, Finnish tapas, nature walks, and practical booking tips.
“The tour was AMAZING! Kiki led our group to the ferry for the short commute to a beautiful island where we leisurely walked around learning about history, wildlife and nature. Then she presented us a delicious spread of native food and we had a fantastic picnic and conversations. Great way to spend a couple of hours in Helsinki.”
Aurora nights, sled dogs, reindeer, and the sauna at the end of it.
