“This was a really challenging activity for beginners, but our amazing guide, Eniko (I hope that’s how you spell his name!), made all the difference! He was incredibly patient, offering constant support, reassurance, and words of encouragement that helped us push through. Even though I wasn’t able to fully complete the trek, i still had an amazing time. The scenery was breathtaking, and the area he took us to was absolutely stunning. The experience was made even better with a cozy campfire, veggie sausages, and delicious snacks—a perfect way to warm up after the trek! Thank you, Eniko, for making this such a memorable and enjoyable adventure. Highly recommend this…”

“This was a wonderful day with Alex. Walking through the woods he pointed out the mushrooms, lichen, and birds around us. He shared information about Finland which is helpful in learning about a country and their culture. He made a delicious Finnish lunch by the lake, salmon and potato soup. The walk back to the vehicle was just as enjoyable-the ground looked like various shades of green carpeting. The nice part is also that the weather cooperated-no rain. No wind either until the end. Perfect day and a wonderful way to spend a day in Finland. Thanks Alex!”
