Guided snowmobile ride in Rovaniemi with training, warm gear, and about 1 hour of driving through Arctic forest trails.
“It was really fun. If you are two people on 1 bike, you may get less time to do the activity given that you’ll take time to get used to the mobile. (10-15mins) Overall it was a great experience.”
Guided Arctic snowmobile ride in Rovaniemi, Lapland. Shared machines, heated controls, thermal gear, warm drink stop, forest views.
“Very easy to get the transfer from the centre of Rovaniemi to the activity - it only takes about 10-15 min to just the other side of Santa Claus Village. The activity was very well ran and the overalls they provide are very well suited to keep you warm. I would also recommned getting a pair of the gloves they provide as your hands can get cold when riding. You ride through the forest in smaller groups of about 6-8 vehicles and I would recommend getting the first snowmobile in the line behind the instructor for a better experience. Being able to ride the snowmobile flat-out over a frozen lake…”
Ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn, guided Old Town walk, Toompea Hill sights, and time to wander on your own. Great value day trip.
“A good balance of guided tour and free time. Very knowledgeable guide who tailored her approach to suit the audience.”
Warm double-decker audio tour of Helsinki from Senate Square, with 11 languages, onboard Wi-Fi, and photo stops at Löyly and Sibelius.
“This is a good option in winter to have a quick look about the city and get your bearings with some good history pointers. One stop allows you to get off for 20mins but note there’s no bathrooms along the way! I was happy to have this opportunity to see more of the city than I would have otherwise.”
Guided Old Town Tallinn walk with round-trip ferry from Helsinki, plus hotel pickup and drop. Three hours to explore on your own.

A 2-hour guided Northern Lights tour from Rovaniemi, with winter gear, hotel pickup, and aurora hunting beyond city lights.
“We went on this tour with Pablo as our guide. We went to three or four different spots but no luck! We still had a great time!! Pablo was friendly and knowledgable, he even brought hot juice and snacks that we had by the fire while we watched the skies. 100% recommend this tour :-)”

Self-guided Helsinki to Tallinn ferry with 4 or 7 hours ashore, UNESCO Old Town, and a comfortable onboard mall-style ship.
“Amazing ship complete with multiple sit down and grab and go food options. Wide variety of seating to enjoy the views. Crew was friendly and helpful. Once we arrived I walked the Nautical mall and then grabbed an Uber to Old Tallinn. Loafs of shops for all sorts of fabrics and souvenirs and so many quaint places to eat or grab a drink. Loved the time to wander the town. Would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy a day walking and investigating.”
Guided ice climbing at Pyhä’s Tajukangas Ice Fall with full gear, two climbs above 20m, and hot berry drinks by a bonfire.

Small-group guided Lapland snowmobile from Rovaniemi with Taiga forest rides, hilltop views, warm drinks, and gear included.
“We had an amazing snowmobile adventure with Roseanna- who as a guide was simply BRILLIANT. She made everything entertaining and was informative as well as ensuring we made the most of our time on the snow. Everything was on time. Kit, transport and equipment was first class. The opportunities to take pictures and videos were plentiful. The changes in scenery were also inspiring. A first class trip and an amazing guide.”
Small-group cross-country skiing near Lake Norvajärvi with summer-built private trails, a laavu fire stop, and an English guide from Rovaniemi.
“It was an amazing experience with a really caring guide! You really feel special while going around the tailor-made trails, in fact you brake trails yourself. Totally suitable for first-timers, considering your endurance isnt a problem and you are rather fit. You get to know the real Lapland with this. Not gonna lie beyond -20C degrees it gets a little challenging but for sure it is worth it, hand and foot warmers are a must.”
Small-group Helsinki walk led by city planner guide, covering Senate Square, Cathedral, Oodi and more, with time for questions.
“This was a very good small group tour. Emek takes a maximum of 6 people and spends three hours talking and walking you through the history of Helsinki and telling the stories behind some of its major buildings. Emek was a relaxed, knowledgeable and professional guide. He delivered a very interesting, engaging tour that we thoroughly enjoyed. The modern library completed the tour… and, wow, what a fantastic building to end on. Thank you, Emek.”
