Finland Tours in November 2026

The start was rocky with the cancellation of our flight over to Finland but after that everything went well. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. My most memorable experience was seeing the Northern Lights. I missed not seeing snow but it couldn't be helped.

Nancy Thomsen, our tour manager, was awesome! Loved learning about Finland, local food, and traditions. While excursions were limited due to lack of snow we still had a great time. Certainly the highlight of the trip was our good fortune to see a magical display of the Aurora our first night in Lapland. A truly once in a lifetime experience.

We had some hiccups on flights and the unusually warm temperatures eliminated any snow activities. But our tour manager made adjustments and it was a great trip. The Northern Lights alone were worth the trip. Still enjoyed learning and seeing Helsinki. Finding out about the management of the dog sleds was enlightening. Horse carriage ride was fun as well.

. The trip to Scandinavia was fascinating. The highlight was saying the northern lights! was professional, friendly, and informative. The hotels were excellent, and the breakfasts were outstanding. The dinners were mostly good, with a few exceptions. We had an excellent bus driver as well!

Highly recommended and couldn't stress how much effort the guides put in on making you feel welcome to this amazing country and how supportive they were in making the trip perfect for each individual. Head guide Elina is a fantastic overall lovely person. The food was to die for (all traditional Finnish), don't be expecting burgers unless it's an Elk one! The drink was expensive, but I had budgeted for this prior to the trip as I knew this would be the case. It's good idea to purchase alcohol at a UK airport or lack some in your case before hand. All of the activities were perfect to gain a taster of each, and once equipped with your gear, you were free to use them as you please in your free time. I took a hike up a local hill on our free day, using the snowshoes provided, Elina showed me a map in which I took with me, and an easy to follow, well marked trail. What a fabulous day to get a view of the Russian border from the top. The owners of the Huskies were so caring and knew a of the dogs inside out, what a lovely life they lead and the dogs really enjoy their work, this is obvious when you meet them, due to the excitement and noise they make when they know they're going on a trip. The reindeer are well looked after, and the herdsmen explained that they are trained to pull the sleighs in the winter when they are brought back to the farm, but released again to roam during the summer months. I can't tell you enough how much I love this country, the lovely people and how close they are to nature. If your after a really laid back holiday and an escaped from the rush of day to day life, this is for you!

I like the itinerary , we got to see the aurora x 2 However, the excursion prices are too expensive. I am aware there’s not enough snow to do snowmobile and snowshoeing so it’s ok. The City on the Move with Fika and walk in the Forest should have been free. I also have a problem with the dinners . For those of us who don’t want to eat reindeer and fish , there should be other options .. maybe sandwiches. The hotels are nice. I like and . They’re both excellent in what they do. I felt safe.
