The guide mridul was also fun and very flexibile & accommodating as we were with a 6 year old”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 134 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $103

See Helsinki highlights and historic Porvoo by small-group car, with a personal guide, flexible stops, and chocolate tasting.

“We did not have a great experience, and even requested a refund (which I don't remember ever doing) which was ignored. I generally write positive reviews. The minibus was really a European minivan. I'm only 5'10" and my knees were cramped. We only went with one other couple but it was 1 in front and 3 of us in the middle. We had already learned quite a bit about Helsinki as we had been there a couple days, but we were expecting more as we love to learn the history. In reality it was a bit of time driving around Helsinki and pointing out a few things...but nothing in-depth or…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 131 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $175

See the Northern Lights from a private Lapland lake with local guides, a rustic cabin, homemade treats, and small-group comfort.

“Heli is so dedicated and makes the evening an unforgettable experience. She has a beautiful hut right by the lake where you can warm up and grill sausages or marshmallows. She offered homemade pastries and warm berry juice and told us a lot about Lapland and life here. While we waited for the northern lights to show up, we could enjoy a ride on a snowmobile or go on a short tour with snowshoes. She took great photos of us as well. When the Northern Lights were at their best, we were able to stay longer at the lake to enjoy the spectacle! It's the best Northern Lights tour I've…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 83 reviews · from $180

Review of Rovaniemi’s private lakeside sauna, with Aurora tips, pickup details, pricing, guides, swimwear rules, and booking advice.

“This experience is going to stand out for us as incredibly memorable for years to come! We arrived in the forest complex to the twinkle of fairy lights and floor candles lighting the pathway into the visitor centre, and as if by devine intervention the sky opened up with a fine show of Aurora for us as we were shown to our lakeside Finnish sauna. Our guide Mara gave us a good rundown of what to expect and how to keep the sauna going- though we confess the Northern lights specacle kept us distracted for a good portion of our time! That said, we found this trip a perfect amount…”

Review of Beyond Arctic’s private Rovaniemi Northern Lights photography tour, with gear, guides, pricing, transport, and booking advice.

“There are no refunds, so I would not book this activity in advance. I would book it the day of the activity so you can check the weather. I ended up paying over $1100 and we did not see anything. Other tours offer some kind of guarantee this one does not. However, our tour guide did try very hard, we drove for over two hours into Sweden but to no avail.”
