Great experience with a personalised guide, it was definitely the highlight of our Helsinki trip. We walk through the forest while Jeff was explaining everything about the different types of berries and when are their season, he was very nice and gave a very nice touch to the experience. When we got to the coast we walked around and admired the landscape while Jeff prepared a very nice meal for us. On the return way through the forest, we had a snowballs fight that was very fun. We totally recommend this experience and any other from Taiga Times :)This excursion was the highlight of our trip to Finland! Jeff was a fabulous guide. He taught us a lot about the people and culture on the drive. He is very knowledgeable along the hike as well. The forest is magical and beautiful. My 16 year old loved it as well.

As swiss, this was my first time in finland. And I booked some hikes with tiaga tour. It was a blast. Jeff was friendly, helpfull and always trying his best to see if you are confortable and if you enjoy the tour. While this tour is short compared to the other that tiaga tour propose, you still get many great photos, and flavourfull discovery. The meal are simple but typical and really good ! You also get many informations on plants and wild life. And you get to taste safely the products of the forest. Also jeff is always answering your questions whether you hve a few of them or 3000 (like me). Always a nice smile on his face and cheerfull. You will not waste your money with this tour.This was just the nature break I was looking for. I am not an experienced hiker but had an amazing time on this morning walk.

This was just the nature break I was looking for. I am not an experienced hiker but had an amazing time on this morning walk. Jeff picked us up right on time and was even able to accommodate vegan lunches on short notice. He was kind and engaging throughout the day and by the end of it we felt refreshed and that we had learned a lot of new things about Finland. It's an easy hike with great views--definitely worth it!
