  • The Best of Helsinki and South Karelia in 5 days (Guaranteed departure) reviewer 1
    · August 19th, 2025
    Our short tour program in Helsinki and Lappeenranta was well-organized and efficient, with excellent local guides well-versed in English and also a great tour leader. The tour kept to the well-balanced itinerary that provided informative highlights of each city while giving each individual traveler adequate free time to explore on their own. The accommodations and included breakfasts were quite good, especially with regard to each hotel's close proximity to points of interest.
