    My friend and I really loved the tour. Everything was organized well and the tour guide really tried their best to make everyone fell welcome. They also tried to accomodate all our wishes for ice bathing and sauna. I can really recommend everyone to do this

    Everything about this trip was incredible - the landscape, snoeshowing, Finnish saunas, the culture, and even our Guides! You cover a lot of ground snoeshowing, so this isn't for the fainthearted, but it is definitely worth it! For me it would have been better without the cabins with no electricity/running water, but you know what you are getting into at least! And it didn't spoil the experience in any way. Overall, a brilliant trip, would highly, highly recommend.
