Riisitunturi National Park day trip from Rovaniemi with a small group, winter gear, optional snowshoes, BBQ lunch, and campfire firemaking.
“Rosanna was an excellent guide and very friendly to the entire group. She was very informative and a safe driver. She was also willing to take photos of us along the way. We were able to stop for a short break along the way to the national park. The included lunch was delicious and the van was comfortable. The views of the park were beautiful.”

“It’s a great deal of time in the midevil city and a good deal of money for less than three hours of guide led tour and includes no access to interior of any buildings. It leaves three hours for self guided touring. Ride to and from cruise liner is nice, but there are cabs. Note, this is not to take away from our guide, who was great.”
Lapland Winter Park 1-day pass in Rovaniemi: shuttle included, skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, reindeer, ice slide, and hot chocolate for kids.
“Lapland Winter Park is packed with lots of fun activities in a beauuutiful setting. Included in the price we had fun sledging, x country skiing, warming up in the kotas, ice-skating, feeding the reindeer, and generally enjoying the surroundings. We also paid extra for my daughter to go mii-snowmobiling. We had a FANTASTIC day!”
Helsinki to Tallinn day trip with private ferry cabin, hotel pickup, and a guided Old Town walk plus key Toompea viewpoints.
“The trip worked well. The the Ferry was very busy, which is normal. The breakfast and dinner buffets provided a good choice of foods and beverages. The guide in Tallinn was informative and helpful. A benefit in Tallinn was being driven to the castle at the top, and then being able to walk gently down into the town. The image on the website is misleading as that area is a bar, not the café area. The cabin provided a welcome refuge during the trip both outward and back.”
Organized Helsinki-to-Tallinn day trip with a small-group guide, ferry time, Old Town walking, key viewpoints, and major churches.
“According to my watch, i walked 9.7 miles that day. A lot of walking and talking. Not much time to enjoy the experience. Wish we would have had time to enter the old churches”
Guided one-day visit to Santa Claus Village and Santa Park in Rovaniemi with a framed Santa photo and Arctic Circle crossing certificate.
“The Santa visit was great but we had to queue for everything. I thought by going through a guide we’d have been on a pre booked list and then skip the queues. I was with my brother who has special needs and patience is not easy for him. Very disappointed with the tour guide, who seemed in a hurry from one thing to the next but wasted our time on poor management. We spent an hour waiting on 2 in our group to do a husky ride and then had way less time in Santa Park, missing the show and again feeling pressure to get through the experiences”

8-hour Levi day trip to Santa Claus Village: Arctic Circle crossing, Father Christmas meet, Snowman World Ice World, lunch and transfers.
“Het is veel geld voor wat je krijgt. Wij hadden een busje voor onszelf, we waren met 6 personen. Lunch was karig en pas om 2 uur, half 3 vertrokken we alweer terug naar ons hotel. Gids was er niet, maar goed, bezoek aan Santa was fantastisch. Let op tijdens het bezoek aan Santa mag je zelf geen foto’s maken. Als je ze wilt moet je kooen. Je koopt dan een link zodat je ze zelf kunt downloaden. 2 foyo’s en een videoflimpje, € 60,00.”

Private day trip from Rovaniemi to Ranua Wildlife Park with hotel pickup, an English guide, Arctic animals, and strong photo stops in 5 hours.
“Everything was great. me with two boys, eight and six, booked a tour to Ranua Zoo a day in advance. The next day, we've received a polite call from a guide that pickup is waiting outside of the hotel 15 min before scheduled time. The car was clean, comfortable, and modern. The driving to the Zoo was smooth and not too long. Around an hour. The zoo itself is incredible - very nice place in the middle of the forest. The guide was very polite and gave us many interesting insights into finnish nature. All in all the experience was splendid. Would definitely recommend.”
