Finland Self-Guided Tours and Trips

Amazing trip! Would recommend to everyone!!

Maybe better description of mix of culture and walking to help expectations. Good way to see the two cities and get a handle on some of the culture.

Really good itinerary to make the most of both cities (Tallinn and Helsinki) plus some time out in nature. Really good local guides who made everything very easy. Great bus travel - very comfortable and spacious. Brilliantly tailored programmes to make the most of the trip. Great guides and all logistics taken care of so you don't need to worry about anything.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

The tour guide was personable and so informative. She enhanced our trip experience with cultural anecdotes and superb understanding of the environments of our tour. She kept us organized and safe. Nancy was enthusiastic and very caring. She is also innovative and creative. The accommodations were lovely. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The food was excellent in Helsinki. The breakfasts and lunches were good in Lapland and dinners were excellent. The visit with Santa was bizarre, unnerving and unpleasant. Really. You must evaluate that whole premise. The planetarium visit should have been part of the package. Visiting the art center and gift shop was powerful. Again, Nancy educated us on the lore and the realities of the Sami people and made the experience that much richer. The lecture/talk in the teepee/hut about the reindeer was fascinating. I especially enjoyed hearing the wrangler speak so knowledgeably and lovingly about the reindeer. The reindeer sleigh ride (and visiting the reindeer)was so beautiful. Chasing the northern lights was worthy of the effort though we didn't happen to see them. It was lovely to be "in nature." Mushing the dog sled team was wonderful but oh so scary. I had to speak more than once to the staff about airline flights. The second person in each instance was understanding and nice and accommodating. I have to look at my own behavior as perhaps not being helpful? on the first go- round? However, the address was wrong and I did not have an updated ticket to work with. I explained that I am an inexperienced traveler and her explanation of " just go to the counter" was not reassuring. The second agent reinforced the "go to the counter AND also sent me an email with the updated info. I was reassured. She also corrected the address for the Uber driver. None of the seat assignments matched my preferences; however, I believe that you did the best you could possibly do on those full flights, and I was happy to be inside the plane! I had a wonderful time on the trip. I don't want these minor hiccups to overshadow the enormity of the joy and pleasure associated with this trip to Finland. I recommend it whole-heartedly.

The itinerary was a good mix of activities and our tour manager was excellent. Are was always communicating with the group and kept everyone engaged. All tour guides were very good and made the activities very enjoyable. My most memorable experience was seeing the Northern Lights while on a reindeer sleigh.
