“It was an amazing night and we saw the lights the whole night! Our tour guide Jeremy was great and flexible, pivoting quickly to find spots to view the lights, everywhere! He was also super friendly and accommodating to my kids even though the tour we chose is not the “family friendly version” one, since we wanted to focus on being able to view the lights! He specially prepared a toy companion for them, marshmallows for them for the campfire, and even going above and beyond and sending us all the way back to our resort! Great experience and highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 654 reviews · from $158

Hike through frozen waterfalls at Korouoma Canyon from Rovaniemi, then warm up with grilled sausages and hot drinks by an open fire.

“This is a 5 km or 3.2 mile hike through the canyon, walking in the winter wonderland and seeing 3 frozen waterfalls. The company provides overalls and crampons (spikes) for the feet which really kept us from slipping on the snowy paths. Our guide, Walter, was fun and informative, taking great care of the group. He was dedicated to taking great photos at different angles of everyone in the group in iconic viewpoints. He also carried hot water to make cocoa in the middle of our hike and cooked sausages for us during the bbq time. Met some great people. I highly recommend this tour!Read more”

See Helsinki’s top sights from a warm double-decker, with 11-language audio, two photo stops, Wi-Fi, and a 105-minute winter route.

“Was a standard city bus tour. The bus was clean, it arrived on time, the driver was friendly. Was not hop on hop off as they do not operate that in the winter which is fair. Been on many of these tours, would just be amazing if they could get the commentary to match the actual location. But got to see some sights further out of the city that would not have seen otherwise.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group Northern Lights photography tour, with warm gear, aurora chasing, campfire snacks, photos, and practical booking advice.

“Spontaneously booked this night tour on the morning due to the guide being so great. Started at 8pm meeting point where rucksack was given with hot drinks, head torches & other essentials for the evening. Clothing was given to those who needed it as it’s a cold evening ahead. Then it’s a drive out to first viewing point. Juhani was great at telling us how to set out camera settings correctly to get best photos & also explained exactly what the Auroras are and conditions needed to see them.
