Hey, I am Laura from Finlandtour.fi. I am going to give you a brief overview of this 7-night, 8-day Finland tour package. This is not a group tour and can be customized to meet your specific requirements. The itinerary begins in Helsinki. Before diving into the itinerary, let’s go over the inclusions and exclusions of this tour.
This quote excludes international flights but includes domestic flights to and from Lapland. Specifically, your flights from Helsinki to Ivalo and Rovaniemi to Helsinki are included. Hotel stays with breakfast are also included. In Saariselka, dinner is typically included depending on the availability of the resort.
Transfers will be a mix of shared and private options. For instance, your airport transfers will be private, while transfers for tours like the Northern Lights tour or the Icebreaker cruise will always be on a shared basis. Additionally, insurance and visa charges are not included in this quote.
