Finland · PRIVATE DRIVERS
Good private driver days fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Day return ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki with fast 2-hour crossings, up to 10 hours exploring, and onboard restaurants and shops.
“The air conditioning was a tad cold but nothing too uncomfortable.”
Rovaniemi icebreaker cruise to Sweden for sea-ice walking and survival-suit swimming, plus a 7-deck tour and a captain certificate.
“This was a very different and unique experience, a must try for everyone once. The activity was very well managed and the ice floating was amazing but a bit crowded but it’s understandable everyone wants to experience the same. Food was also good. A great day.”
Race two icy karting sessions in Levi, Lapland. Warm thermal gear, safety briefing, fireside breaks, hot berry juice, plus optional shuttle.
“Would be good if you offered a time trial fastest lap for a group”
A guided Northern Lights hunt from Rovaniemi with hotel pickup, warm overalls, and campfire BBQ, plus extra viewpoints when skies allow.
“The tour is very disorganized and needed wasted lots of time which was totally unnecessary. The group was definitely way too big which have at least 50 people. Not worth the value”
A 3-hour guided Aurora photo tour from Saariselkä with hotel transfer, warm clothes, hot drinks, and gingerbread, plus an online photo link.
“Unfortunately, the tour was disappointing. We did see the aurora; however, the driver didn’t show much enthusiasm, only driving for a while and stopping in a lay-by next to the road. There was some aurora activity, but the high tension cables above spoiled the occasion (as they would interfere with the view and -of course- with the pictures). The driver commented that “we don’t need to go elsewhere: we’ll see the same lights” (i’m paraphrasing, but that was the message). We knew that, but a search for a picturesque scenario (eg, the frozen lake Ukonjarvi ) would have made for a much better experience than stopping at the side of…”
A 6-hour Lapland Arctic day trip from Kemi to ride an icebreaker, walk on frozen sea ice, and swim in survival suits in the Bothnian Sea.
“This was one of the best experiences of my life! Floating in the Baltic Sea was such a surreal moment. It was mesmerizing watching the ship break through the ice. I never felt bored as there was plenty to do. There weren’t many people on our ship, and weren’t many who wanted to swim, so my husband and I were able to spend 20 minutes in the water before other guests started showing up. The captain was so friendly and had interesting information about how he operates the ship. The food was delicious- the Swedish flag on the mashed potatoes was a nice detail.”
Visit a traditional Sámi reindeer farm near Rovaniemi, feed reindeer, enjoy a short sleigh ride, and warm up with kota-hut stories.
4-hour Rovaniemi tour to Santa Claus Village with hotel transfer, meet Santa, visit Santa's Post Office, and cross the Arctic Circle.
Float on a frozen lake in Ylläs, wear a full rescue suit, warm up by campfire, and chase a Northern Lights show.
“Esperienza bellissima e inusuale. Guide molto cortesi. Prezzo un po’ alto, ma come tutte le attività in Lapponia. La consiglio.”
Private VIP one-way transfer from Helsinki Airport with meet-and-greet pickup, onboard Wi-Fi, and a 45-minute free wait.
“The driver was on time, the car was well kept and clean, driver was friendly and respected our quiet time on the ride at 4AM. We arrived safe, relaxed and early for our flight.”
Visit Arctic SnowHotel from Rovaniemi with transfer, tour snow rooms and sculptures, then sip an extra-charge ice glass shot at the Ice Bar.
“It was really great! Our guide was amazing. We had a problem with our Airbnb exactly at the time he was picking us up. He was really gentle, kind and patient, tried to help and waited for us. The Artic hotel is charming, the sculptures are beautiful and also there's a super fun slide. Highly recommend! And we are really thankful for the help he gave us!!”
Icebreaker Sampo cruise from Rovaniemi with ice floating, guided tour, lunch, and SnowExperience365 all included.
“Everyone must do this once in a lifetime.It was my first experinece of travelling to this kind of remote location But I enjoyed every second of my life there.”
VIP private transfer in Helsinki with luxury minivan, onboard Wi-Fi, pickup anywhere, and included waiting time for airport or delays.
“I am an agent with 4 clients traveling in Finland - Timo was extraordinarily communicative and incredibly helpful. I got updates every time the client was picked up and dropped off. The other company I had originally booked with took the bookings and then cancelled all 4 of my pickups and drop offs without an explanation and no communication. Timo restored my faith in Viator Private Drivers.”
Private VIP Helsinki airport transfer with new Mercedes, 45 min included waiting, Wi-Fi, bottled water, and name-sign pickup.
“Perfect bookends to a great trip! Amazing service, polite and the car was immaculate. Can’t give it enough praise!”

“On the way from Rovaniemi to Kittila airport, we took transfer from Nortsa_v and we have time also to visit Levi before the flight. Thanks to Normund for this opportunity.”
Pick the kind of day first, then pick the tour.
