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
I unfortunately had a cancelled flight and missed the first two days of the tour in Helsinki and didn't meet anyone until the morning we left for Tallinn, but after that everything went smoothly and probably exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed all of the places we visited and our tour leader Michelle and driver Gareth were top-notch.
- Express Grand Lapland Tour, Finland, Sweden and Norway with activites
It was good but a little bit less planned.
