I cannot emphasize how great this trip was enough. I booked a solo trip to snowshoe in Oulanka National Park. Piritta, my tour guide picked me up at the agreed location, she was able to provide a more personalized experience since it was a solo tour and I constantly lost track of time because of the interesting facts I'd hear about Finnish traditions, folklore, beliefs along with history and of course the nature itself. I feel like I learned so much from her and have a better understanding and appreciation of Finnish culture that I wouldn't have got if I hadn't booked the tour.
Piritta is so very knowledgeable and hospitable. She definitely went above and beyond during the trip, even giving me recommendations of where to shop for souvenirs, what is more authentic, and assisting me with the bus schedule after the tour. She is wonderful.
I took plenty of photos during my trip, as photography is a great hobby of mine and Piritta was very helpful in assisting me in finding nice angles, different perspectives, and wonderful views to get photos of.
I say this company is a must to book with during your time in Kuusamo or Ruka.
