Wonderful day - A wonderful experience. I was visiting Helsinki and this was the perfect way to see the magical Finnish forests. The guide was friendly, funny, and super knowledgeable. The meal was wonderful and they even made a vegetarian option for me. Everything was well planned. Highly recommend!

Perfect - Highly relaxing and informative trip with Jeff managing the whole experience with skill and a great sense of humor. Even if your not a mushroom expert he creates a fabulous day in the Finnish national park a pleasure and manages to cook a delicious meal as well.

Amazing experience w/ a great company - Jeff was an excellent guide, and a kind and empathetic person. He was full of knowledge about mushrooms and the Finnish flora and fauna. We had a really enjoyable trip, learnt so much about mushrooms and the Finnish culture, and loved cooking up the mushrooms at our Airbnb afterwards. I'd highly recommend this trip (and have already recommended it to a friend who is visiting Helsinki soon).

Easy escape into nature - We enjoyed this excursion very much. It’s a favorite memory of this trip to Helsinki for my nature-loving son. I recommend it if you want to see something outside the city without hassle. Very friendly for kids who have some attention span and ability to hike/walk. Details: We had good communication from the tour organizer, including messages about potential delays for our pickup. The drive to the forest was over 1.5 hours with a stretch break at a gas station. I enjoyed the hike. The park was peaceful with few people in it (perhaps with the weekday and the end of summer holidays). The hike itself is easy with a clear flat trail. There was a break halfway to rest and enjoy the scenery. No running water at the park but there are clean ‘dry toilets.’ The forest environment had lots of blueberries and lingonberries to pick on our visit. There were many mushroome to identify: brittle, boletus, shelf brackets, amanite, destroying angel. Alex our guide pointed out interesting details on the hike. He was very solicitous with our comfort and enjoyment of the excursion. He prepared a nice lunch of hot soup, bread, and a sweet. Overall, a good experience that matched my expectations!

Even the locals don't know about this secret retreat! A not-to-be-missed opportunity. - Beautiful, serene, peaceful, relaxing hike through the forest. Very personable and knowledgeable guide. Didn't see or hear any other people. The chanterelles were out. Our guide cooked what we picked over an open fire and made a delicious appetizer to go with a lovely lunch.
