Editor’s Take
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.
Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Finland tours can be among the most diverse and comprehensive of vacations to northern Europe. You have medieval architecture, lakeside villages, ancient market squares, ample opportunities for cycling, the Northern Lights, reindeer, interesting cuisine, unique museums and hiking in some of the world’s most untouched wilderness. Keep this in mind when reading reviews of various Finland tour operators.
By and large, Finland tour reviews are positive and focus on the pleasing balance of relaxation and adventure that can be achieved here. There are significant mentions of clean accommodations, well-organized activities and tours and once-in-a-lifetime Nordic moments, i.e. meeting a reindeer in its natural habitat, glimpsing golden eagles and seeing the Northern Lights.
One thing to note: If the weather and temperature are of concern to you during your Finland vacation, pay close attention to reviews for trips that took place in the winter. This way, you’ll get an insider’s POV in terms of just how cold it is and what to pack.
