What people love about Europe Tours from Helsinki
- Nordic & Baltic Escape
Look is such an amazing, very energetic and helpful tour guide, he's the best!
- Helsinki to Warsaw
Helsinki to Poland tour by Expat Explore was well organized. However, it is too rushed. Ideal would be to add two more days and spread it out a bit. Lot of walking, therefore very tiring and difficult to keep up with the pace even for the not so old, especially in bad weather conditions. The hotels were very good except for one which was average. Breakfast at hotels were very good. Included lunches and dinners were okay. The optional tours were not fabulous. The tour guide highly recommends them all, but I was disappointed with each of them. On the whole, a good tour but very rushed and tiring.
- Grand Lapland Tour, Finland, Sweden and with activites
It was good but a little bit less planned.
