“Our guide was Jenifer, she was brilliant. She gave us an insight to Helsinki we would never had experienced on our own”
Short, guided road trip from Helsinki to Porvoo by private car, hitting top sights plus free chocolate tasting and quick walking time.
“We did not have a great experience, and even requested a refund (which I don't remember ever doing) which was ignored. I generally write positive reviews. The minibus was really a European minivan. I'm only 5'10" and my knees were cramped. We only went with one other couple but it was 1 in front and 3 of us in the middle. We had already learned quite a bit about Helsinki as we had been there a couple days, but we were expecting more as we love to learn the history. In reality it was a bit of time driving around Helsinki and pointing out a few things...but nothing in-depth or…”
Small-group Northern Lights viewing from Levi to a private frozen lake cabin, with local guides, hearty campfire food, and flexible refunds.
“Thank you so much Heli! Honestly the experience was everything we could’ve hoped for. Was so beautiful being taken out to Heli’s beautiful wilderness cabin and being able to share conversations over biscuits, tea, sausages and to toasted marshmallows. Heli made it very easy for us to get around in her vehicle and also picked us up and dropped us back to where we were staying. We were fortunate enough to see the northern lights multiple times!! Helis enthusiasm around chasing where the lights were was amazing. Such an authentic experience that we will never forget.”

Private lakeside Finnish sauna in Rovaniemi with a guide, hot drinks, and a shot at the Aurora Borealis overhead.
“This experience is going to stand out for us as incredibly memorable for years to come! We arrived in the forest complex to the twinkle of fairy lights and floor candles lighting the pathway into the visitor centre, and as if by devine intervention the sky opened up with a fine show of Aurora for us as we were shown to our lakeside Finnish sauna. Our guide Mara gave us a good rundown of what to expect and how to keep the sauna going- though we confess the Northern lights specacle kept us distracted for a good portion of our time! That said, we found this trip a perfect amount…”

“Great!!! I joined so much tours but this one is special! Please go on a hike with Michael. It’s absolutely fantastic. We had a lots of fun and learned a lot about the waterfalls, Lappland and life ;-)”
A local-led private walking tour in Helsinki with a pre-tour chat for your route, practical advice, and stops that match your interests.
“Our tour guide, Ahmed, confirmed at 10pm the night before then didn't show up for for private tour. We waited and waited and sent him whatsapp messages and not only did he not respond but he then switched off his phone. In the end, we gave up and went to the tourism office and signed up for a free 'green cap' tour, which was pretty good but we had high hopes for our original tour and were very disappointed. Although we booked Ahmed through Viator, he was with a company called Lokify and Viator clearly subs out to Lokify. We have had two no-shows with Lokify and our third experience…”
Private electric tuk-tuk tour of Helsinki with audio headsets, photo stops at top sights, and flexible guide for up to 4.
“So much fun touring around in the tuk-tuk! We saw so much more than we would have on foot & it was a LOT more fun & convenient on the tuk-tuk. We whizzed all around the city, getting off at a sculpture, to go inside the library, to make a quick stop to put our hands in the Baltic Sea, and to go into a couple of the churches. Our guide was a wealth of information! He was very proud of his city, and excited to show it to us, which makes it much more enjoyable when the Guide loves his job! He was also extremely flexible when we had…”
Private glass igloo dinner in Rovaniemi with a 3-course fireside meal, snow-scooter northern lights hunt, pickup included.
“Andrei and his team clearly wants to deliver an experience that is a cut above the rest in Lapland. From the moment we stepped into his seriously comfortable vehicle, we knew we were in for a cosy and premium experience. A pity that the weather was not in our favour that night - it was snowing heavily and although Andrei offered to push our activity back by a day, we couldn't take up the offer. Regardless, it was really nice sitting in the warm igloo watching the snow pelt down and having the warm food prepared by the team. To replace the fact that we weren't able to chase and…”
Private Northern Lights photo tour from Rovaniemi with pickup, warm gear, winter driving to key spots, and edited aurora photos.
“Our guide Finn was exceptional in every way—deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and truly an expert in his field. Despite the cloudy and challenging night, he never stopped hunting for the aurora until we finally witnessed the dream of our lives. He also introduced us to the magical sound of a frozen lake “singing”—an indescribable experience we never knew existed. Thank you, Finn, for being such an inspiring guide. Keep doing the amazing work you’re doing!”

“We had an unforgettable snowmobile tour through breathtaking landscapes, with perfectly maintained equipment and — above all — an incredibly kind and professional team. Our guides were attentive, caring, and full of thoughtful little touches that truly made the difference. We felt genuinely looked after and privileged throughout the entire experience. Everything was simply perfect, and we cannot recommend this experience highly enough 🤍”
