I highly recommend the tour with Ed. Initially I was the only one who came and we actually started the tour - I was very positively surprised because sometimes in other cities if only one or two people come, they cancel the tour. The tour was very informative and Ed was keen to answer all of my numerous questions. He is a very interesting person with rich knowledge about history, traveling and culture (not only Finnish one).

We had the best of times with our tour. Juhani (?spelling) was very professional, friendly, and very proficient in photography. Was very quick with helping and explaining the set up of our different cameras, even though I am a novice. Though we saw very little (but some) lights it was a fun night. Really enjoyed sharing stories with him by the fire while cooking our sausages.

We visited the reindeer farm + reindeer sleigh and husky park + husky sleigh. We appreciate it a lot, especially the story of these animals which has been very well told. The reindeer farm has more than a hundred years of history, we were able to touch and feed the reindeer. The husky park was very large and raised over 90 huskies, we were also able to pet and take pictures with the huskies. Alex was very welcoming and informative. Thanks for this morning.

Which statue is the one that seagulls hate the most? Where did they bury thousands of bodies during the plague? Why is the largest Orthodox cathedral located in a Lutheran country? Where can you eat the best salmon soup of your life? Why Finnish people still cheer for the opponents of the Swedish national football team?

I have traveled to over 100 cities in the world and this tour was, by far, one of the very best! Emek is a smart, friendly, and well-informed guide -- a university professor and a world traveler himself! -- who really knows how to make the city's history come alive by showing you key locations from ancient times to the newest, hippest spaces (the new city library is a marvel of modern design and, inside, offers a fascinating glimpse into everyday Finnish ideals of community involvement), while always being fun and interesting. This tour is a real treat for travelers interested in understanding Helsinki's history and place in the world, and Emek is the perfect "friend" to spend the afternoon with while he shows it all to you!

Exploring an off the beaten path destination is now more important than ever! Join us on this full-day private excursion to Liesjärvi National Park and walk a path very few international visitors will ever have the chance to experience. Our walk starts upon the parks main attraction, a winding and ancient esker trail which lays between two pristine freshwater lakes. From the other side of the esker trail, we will enter into a forest that can only be described as enchanting. The taiga forest is full of surprises, many of which we can see for ourselves during each and every season. Our lunches in the national park will always be made from fresh Finnish ingredients and inspired by local twists and traditional recipes. Most often, we will be cooking with fresh smoked salmon but are completely adaptable to dietary restrictions and food preferences. This will be a truly unique and high-quality experience for you and it will be our pleasure in showing you the Finnish ways of the forest!

Inclusions: Finnish-style lunch with dessert, Coffee and/or Tea, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, Raincoat in case of rain

Explore one of Helsinki's best-kept natural secrets and join us on this half-day privately guided hike in the Archipelago where the forest meets the sea. One of our most popular hikes last year was upon the coastal trails of Helsinki's archipelago. A walk into the coastal forests brings us on a maintained nature trail with countless smaller trails made by deers, foxes, moose and more! Around our trail, we will visit an ancient burial cairn dated back to the Nordic bronze age and Soviet-era bunkers which have since been reclaimed by nature. Our time in the archipelago will be about experiencing nature first-hand and using our senses. The aroma of the forest, the sounds of the sea, the colours of the season, our feet upon the undisturbed ground, and a delicious lunch overlooking the baltic sea. We believe that nature heals. Surrounded by natural wonders and incredibly diverse habitats this half-day in the archipelago will leave you wanting to rekindle your love for the outdoors.

Inclusions: Lunch with dessert, Coffee and/or Tea, Private transportation, WiFi on board, Air-conditioned vehicle, Raincoat in case of rain
