Helsinki icons, Porvoo old town, and chocolate tasting with a personal guide by private car. 4 to 5 hours, mainly free stops.
“Pretty bad experience. There was no guide just a driver, who at times wanted to talk about some history of Helsinki and Porvoo. He kept repeating the same thing without any information. He was more interested in getting to his calls/browsing than showing us around. He kept getting calls like every 5 mins (he attended some, rejected some). Overall a horrible experience and I would recommend anyone not doing this.”
Northern lights on a private frozen lake near Levi with local guides, max 8 people, and homemade pies, all in 3.5 hours.
“Heli is so dedicated and makes the evening an unforgettable experience. She has a beautiful hut right by the lake where you can warm up and grill sausages or marshmallows. She offered homemade pastries and warm berry juice and told us a lot about Lapland and life here. While we waited for the northern lights to show up, we could enjoy a ride on a snowmobile or go on a short tour with snowshoes. She took great photos of us as well. When the Northern Lights were at their best, we were able to stay longer at the lake to enjoy the spectacle! It's the best Northern Lights tour I've…”

“My ski adventure with Kyle was the most amazing day out in Rovaniemi. Before the day began, Kyle texted me a few days earlier offering me an alternate day so I’d have my own private tour which I appreciated. We then explored the most amazing scenery and different landscapes throughout Lapland. Kyle is a friendly tour guide with lots of stories and jokes which made the experience even better. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time whilst taking some really great pictures which I especially asked for. We also had some blueberry juice and sausage around the fire to cap it all off. Great day and great adventure.…”

Guided private lakeside Finnish sauna in Rovaniemi, with aurora time, hot drinks, towels, and a 1-hour sauna session.
“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…”

Private glass igloo dinner in Rovaniemi with fire-warmed 3-course meal, snow-scooter northern lights hunt, pickup included.
“It was not a satisfactory experience for us. The lady who hosted us was not welcoming… She was in a hurry to send us back …. The total time promised was 3 hours but we hardly spent 2 hours in the glass igloo… Also we could not take pictures or make memories… It could be better when we planned for a great evening spending a lot of money and time…. I don’t recommend this to anyone”
