A nice way to see the city. Sheena was a really good and knowledgeable guide. Whether you travel alone or together with family, this tour is perhaps the best way to see the most important sites of Helsinki with an organized group.

We visited the reindeer farm + reindeer sleigh and husky park + husky sleigh. We appreciate it a lot, especially the story of these animals which has been very well told. The reindeer farm has more than a hundred years of history, we were able to touch and feed the reindeer. The husky park was very large and raised over 90 huskies, we were also able to pet and take pictures with the huskies. Alex was very welcoming and informative. Thanks for this morning.

Exploring an off the beaten path destination is now more important than ever! Join us on this full-day private excursion to Liesjärvi National Park and walk a path very few international visitors will ever have the chance to experience. Our walk starts upon the parks main attraction, a winding and ancient esker trail which lays between two pristine freshwater lakes. From the other side of the esker trail, we will enter into a forest that can only be described as enchanting. The taiga forest is full of surprises, many of which we can see for ourselves during each and every season. Our lunches in the national park will always be made from fresh Finnish ingredients and inspired by local twists and traditional recipes. Most often, we will be cooking with fresh smoked salmon but are completely adaptable to dietary restrictions and food preferences. This will be a truly unique and high-quality experience for you and it will be our pleasure in showing you the Finnish ways of the forest!

Inclusions: Finnish-style lunch with dessert, Coffee and/or Tea, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, Raincoat in case of rain

I have two problems with this tour from Levi. I recently took this tour with my fiance for our honeymoon. We spent the full 8hrs and payed the $600. although the tour was detailed and the ride was amazing i really dont see why it costs so much! My friend took another tour for only $100 and they told me how they got the exact same experience visiting all the same places. Levi get yo mind right and put an acceptable price for this your just ripping off %90 of your customers
