Helsinki Tours in March 2026

First off Lets start with Cinthya. Amazing, she went above and beyond to take care of us, answer any questions and has a vast knowledge of the area and attractions. The hotel in Helsinki was comfortable and centrally located, staff there was friendly. The resort in Kakkslautenen was amazing, so much to do. Suggestions there, the Brewery stay open more than 1.5 hrs a day. and breakfast offerings could be expanded. All in all a fantastic experience for me and my fellow companions. But Cinthya 5 Stars

Tour was fantastic. Sights & activities were amazing & just the right balance between guided activity & free time. The sled dogs were my favorite, but everything else was almost as exciting and enjoyable. I truly loved my accommodations as well. I would use Collette Tours again.

Our your tour manager, Luciana, was very organized, helpful and friendly. She was always available with any questions or concerns. Meals included in the tour were very good--Welcome dinner and Farewell dinner at restaurants were great. Accomodations in Lapland were unique and comfortable. We upgraded to the Kelo glass igloo and it was perfect. Hotel in Helsinki was comfortable but a bit confusing to find the rooms. To get to our room you had to wander through hallways, doorways--a bit confusing. The tours were very interesting. Loved the dog sledding and reindeer ride. So thrilled we got to see the Northern Lights on our last night. That was the "icing on the cake"

We went to see the Northern Lights and we saw them multiple nights. While on the reindeer sled ride there was a special time when we saw all the colors (green, pink, purple) and the lights really "danced" for about a minute and a half. It made the whole trip worthwhile.

Fabulous trip!! Was well prepared for the cold using the information provided pretrip. Loved the resort, beautiful accommodations. Favorite activity besides getting to see the Northern Lights was dog sledding. Appreciate our tour manager showing us his favorite watching spot.

Unfortunately this tour was impacted by the corona virus and multiple border / town lock downs, however it was still an enjoyable trip. Our itinerary while amended allowed us to visit some beautiful sights, and I always felt safe and informed throughout the entire trip. My guide was knowledgeable and gave our group guided tours throughout the towns, allowing us to ensure we made the most of the visits. He had an excellent knowledge of history and culture. The last tour I did with Europamundo we did not have mic commentary from the guide and I can see now we have missed some of the commentary after hearing such detail on this tour. I’d recommend all guides to do the mic share on the bus, otherwise you may as well give us the Wikipedia page links pre tour. Unfortunately I would like to provide feedback that the transition with the new guide who was taking us from Stockholm to Helsinki was not ideal. With the tense circumstances with EU travel restrictions, I was not provided with contact details of the new guide until requested and it felt we were left deserted in Stockholm. I understand this new guide was not presented with the best scenario he could’ve, so please understand I do not take this as a compromise of him or his job. For those passengers who had made alternative travel arrangements so they could return home early however were originally planned to continue the tour, it felt they were provided little support once the guide transition was made. This survey asks me to rate Jose however I feel it’s not appropriate for me to do so as I didn’t have any travel with him. I’m sure he is great and excels when there is no corona Also, BMW World is the worst stop in the whole itinerary and a lot of people on our tour would agree. We even joked how bad it was during our tour multiple times Overall though the tour was great fun, with brilliant guides who coordinated us through this period. Please pass on my sincere thank you for managing through such a challenging period.
