What You’ll Experience

Your private small group tour starts with a pickup from your hotel in Helsinki if requested, or from Helsinki Market Square. You continue to the Old Market Hall where you sample Finnish delicatesses and get to browse the finest ingredients available. Here the growing season is short and frost during season rather common. The Finnish forests, however, more than make up for what is lost in terms of agricultural products, in terms of the treasure chest of berries, mushrooms and game it offers. The tour continues to a nearby brewery and bar where the local beer scene will be presented at its best. The tour ends in a classical Finnish restaurant with a traditional Finnish cooking and a bit of candy for the sweet aftertaste. Then you'll be ready roll on to your next adventure.
