I am Kowen from Singapore, and i am here to express about my families Finland tour from Singapore. My wife Karen and Son, Evan accompanied me for our long awaited Finland trip. We took services from finlandtour.fi for Finland tour. I would also like to express my gratitude towards visitfinlanddmc.fi to give me platform to write about our Journey of Finland tour from Singapore.
About our Finland tour
Karen, My wife were researching on the Finland tour itineraries.In the process she landed on customer review article for finlandtour.fi. The author was from Singapore only and he had a good experience of Finland tour with the company. Karen shared the article with me and i contacted the company. Our concern was the local existence of company in Singapore, however later we understood that it always better to book with local Finnish company instead of keeping a mediator in between.
With the help of Paiivi, we were able to customise and finalise the itinerary within next 3 days. We booked the services in June 2023 and travelled in March 2024. My Son really wanted to stay in an Igloo room and we were aware about availability issues. The payment process was smooth and clear.
Our on ground Finland tour experience
We landed Helsinki on 2nd march 2024 and it was chilled. Snow was all around the city. The Aerial view of Helsinki covered with snow welcomed us to the country with opened arms. Because of new visa policies of Finland government for Singapore citizens immigration was very smooth. Actually there is no visa required if you are Singapore citizen. Our chauffeur was waiting for us at Airport lobby area with sign board of ours and logo of finlandtour.fi. He welcomed us warmly and took us to car which was a new BMW S4 and well maintained. We were dropped to our hotel in Central Heslinki . It was Radisson blu plaza and the stay was cozy. We were tired after the long flight, so had dinner and slept well to gather energy for next adventures of our Finland tour from Singapore.
The next day, we had Porvoo tour planned. We had breakfast in the morning and walked around hotel. Radisson’s best part is the location. It is the centre of the city. Sharp at 10 our car came to pick up us for Porvoo village tour. It took us an amazing 1 hour Journey to Porvoo where we met our Beautiful guide Heidi. She was so polite, humble and interactive that my son Evan got fond of her. We spent about 90 minutes with her in which she took us to a beautiful walking guided tour. After the tour, we had lunch in Porvoo and then our car came to pick us up again.
On Day 3, we checked out from hotel and flew to Ivalo, Lapland from Helsinki. It took us 1:30 hours to reach Ivalo from Helsinki and it was dam cool. An Igloo stay in Kakslauttanen arctic resort was arranged for us by Paiivi and team. Evan was so happy to see the room. He got so excited and happy, we felt that we have got more than what we have paid for. We were waiting for northern lights from our Igloo, though on first day we were not able to spot it.
Next day, Day 4 we had a snow mobile Safari tour organised. It was in the same premises and we just loved the experience. That night we were able to spot northern lights from our Igloo. It was fun :).
Day 5, we checked out of the resort and started our Journey for Rovaniemi city. It was 3 hours Scenic Journey to Rovaniemi and it is must do. You will see the real Finnish Lapland in the Journey. We reached there around 11 am,kept our bags in the hotels cloak room and were again picked up for Santa claus village. Evan was so happy to meet Santa, it was mind blowing to see. In Santa claus amusement park, we had already decided various activities for Evan like Husky ride, Snow man world access and lunch at Santamus restaurant. The whole day was full of fun and tiring. We came back to hotel and slept after dinner.
Day 6, was the Ice Breaker cruise day. We were taken to Kemi, around 2:30 hours Journey to Rovaniemi. It was the first time in life we saw the frozen sea. They board you to cruise which breaks the frozen ice. At a point you wear the thermal suite and float on the ice. It was altogether a different experience which we loved. Actually, every day was a fun day. We came back around 7:00 pm and had dinner and slept.
It was our time to leave Finland and fly to London from Rovaniemi on Day 7. As i said, every day was perfect for us and it was very well planned. We observed that the costing was almost the same or even the lesser of what we were getting when we were planning on own. After experiencing the service, we realised that it was the right decision to go with them. finlandtour.fi is the best company to book your Finland tour in Singapore, without a doubt. Last but not the least, the service was so perfect and professional that we didn’t even had one call with Paivii or any other member of company.Not even before booking it. Thanks for making it perfect, Team.
