Perfect experience with perfect guide Guillermo - We had a magic experience… landscape was something you can see only in films.
It was very cold, but Guillermo helped us giving all the clothes we need to be warm.
What makes the experience perfect was our guide Guillermo: we has been kind, patient and explained us many things.
We could see how much He loves his job!!
After the walking we had sausages meat in front of fire and it was very nice to be there together.
We really reccomend Guillermo as guide, he was the best!!!

Amazing views & perfect itinerary - I travelled with my 17 year old daughter. Our Guide was Tia and she instinctively knew how much we could cover with our fitness level. We were picked up punctually, the van was super comfortable and huge. The journey interesting and comfortable. Tia was very informative and very sweet and friendly. The snack provided in the middle of the walk was adequate as a snack and the experience of chopping the wood and sitting besides the fire to eat was beautiful. The frozen waterfalls were a sight to behold. After the main walk, while going back Tia stopped at another place , also waterfalls which was even more prettier. Would highly recommend it.

Nice easy walk, lovely guides but you can do this if you have a hire car - Oh my guide was so lovely i'm really glad she was my guide. She got some photos and videos of me, was really knowledgeable.
I booked this as a group trip as I'd read it would be hard to do solo. As i had a hire car i could have done this easily myself. But, if you dont fancy a 1.5hr drive in the ice i would 100% recommend this tour. Its not a hard walk but some points are really slippy and need a bum slide down. The forest is stunning.
The company will give you boots, gloves & overalls if you need them. You get sausages & corn to roast on the fire and hot berry juice. I really enjoyed it and I now keep listening to the Finnish songs we listened to in the van ♡
I've forgotten the guides name Almia maybe.
