My family and I had such a great time! We are very outdoorsy people, and Szabi and Emma were very knowledgeable about the flora around where we toured. We had fun while also learning a lot, and exploring the rocks at the edge of the sea was our favorite part. The snacks in the middle were awesome, and the tour was the perfect length for us to have fun and not get too tired out. We had a group of six with two guides, and our guides were kind and easy to talk to. Szabi helped my grandma along when we had rough terrain, and Emma was a great conversation partner and was very helpful with navigating and cooking. We had so much fun!!
This was a truly magical experience! Our guide was kind, so nice and knowledgeable! The tour took us through splendidly beautiful landscapes. It wasn’t too difficult to walk by and the surroundings were stunning! The lunch by the campfire was such a treat, with local and tasty food! A truly delightful Finnish experience!
This was hands down, THE BEST TOUR EVER! My mom and I ended up being the only ones on it and Patricia was our guide. She was absolutely the best guide we've ever had! I've been to multiple countries and done numerous tours. She was wonderful in communication, making sure we were going at a good pace and the food was great! Patricia was very knowledgeable and well traveled herself which made for excellent conversation. The scenery was so incredible and it was nice to get out of the city. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone and I would not hesitate to book a different tour if she is our guide!

Great experience, big thank you to Patricia for her kindness and kindness. We did not have good weather but the snowy landscapes gave the forest a fairy air. The Finnish meal carefully prepared by our guide was good. Patricia made sure we didn't miss anything throughout the half day. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re glad you enjoyed the magical snowy landscapes and the Finnish meal, and that Patricia’s care made your tour so special. Best wishes – Szabi
Nikolai went above and beyond. He was an excellent tour guide! He shared interesting information about the flora and fauna of the peninsula as well as its historical significance. He was very kind and patient with my 85 year old mother in law. We walked at a gentle pace so that she could enjoy the walk. In addition, we had a wonderful lunch near a cozy fire on a very windy day. We highly recommend this tour and the guide!
