Unforgettable experience with Piritta - Piritta was absolutely amazing. We got in touch even before my trip to Lapland, and she was always extremely kind, helpful and available, answering all my questions and making me feel well prepared and at ease. My husband and I did a private tour with her to visit Riisitunturi National Park, and it was truly a special experience. The snowshoe hike to the top was beautiful, and once we arrived, Piritta surprised us by cooking delicious pancakes, served with jam and warm blueberry juice. It was such a magical moment, surrounded by Arctic nature. Everything was perfect and thoughtfully organized. Piritta is not only a fantastic guide, but also a very special person who puts genuine care and passion into what she does. Highly recommended — an experience we will never forget! ❄️💕

Wonderful nature experience! - We had a wonderful day in beautiful nature! Our guide, Piritta, made sure we had everything we needed, she explained how the equipment worked and told us interesting facts about the area and nature during our trip. She made sure the speed and intensity of the trip matched our capabilities. We were well informed before and during the trip. Pick up from our accomodation was convenient and on time. Our guide brought and prepared an excellent lunch (with wonderful homemade blackcurrant hot drink) that we enjoyed during the trip. I can highly recommend this tour company and this activity!

Wonderful experience!!!! - Super knowledgeable, nice, very friendly guide. She is really a professional and told us the authentic history of Lapland. I absolutely recommend her for an authentic experience in the parks. I forgot, super good lunch, with a fire lit in the woods, instant pancakes and incredible reindeer salami sandwiches!
