- JJen· March 21st, 2025We had the best time. This tour offered everything we were looking for when planning our trip. Our tour guide was good, but she did seem to google a lot of our questions but she got to where we needed to go on time. The day we flew back to Helsinki from Ivalo was kind of a wasted day. It would have been nice to have flown back the night before and had a day in Helsinki to do more exploring or go to a museum or fly back later in the day and have an excursion planned for the morning in Ivalo. The tour overall didn’t disappoint and we enjoyed every minute of it.Show moreTrip date: March 2025
