Oren was our guide, and he was very kind, friendly, and funny. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, gave us great information about Finland, and took us on a lovely walk. We had a wonderful time, and it was so good. I recommend it, and Oren was truly amazing.
We had a wonderful hike through the fresh snow. Meri was our guide and photographer. We received excellent explanations and lots of information about the area and nature around Levi. The barbecue in the wild was a special experience. A few days after the tour, we received some beautiful photos.
A fantastic experience in a very small group, authentic and peaceful, well-organized, and our guide, Ryan, was amazing! I will definitely book this again when we return.
The tour with Meri was fantastic – truly exciting, fun, and interesting! She also helped us with our camera settings and took beautiful photos of the trip. I would definitely do it again.
Our guide, Juhani, was fantastic! His enthusiasm for nature, the (sun)light, and his love of Lapland worked wonders for us. He took some truly amazing photos. We loved doing an active activity like backcountry ski touring. As a family of four, we have some downhill skiing experience, but we'd never been cross-country skiing or through deep, fresh snow.
