"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

Finland Tour Selection Trips

  • Most Finland tour arrive in Helsinki. Use this as your jumping-off point to travel by air, rail, road or water to the other major regions of Finland: Lakeland, Archipelago and Lapland.
  • Meet as many local people as you can during your Finland tour - it’s the best way to get to know the culture and personality of the destination. If at first the Finns seem reserved, this is just a symptom of their very polite, yet not overly gregarious behavior. They’re so happy you’re here!
  • A local tour guide can help translate where necessary, but English is widely spoken, particularly in the larger cities like Helsinki. Finnish and Swedish are officially the two languages spoken here - the Swedish population is about 5.5 percent.
  • Dress in layers, no matter what time of year your Finland tour takes place. The summer days can generally get up to 68 to 80 degrees F, but they can just as easily drop down to the low 60s. Blizzards are a threat in the winter, but if you love snow sports, rejoice and head to Lapland!
  • Bare it all in the sauna. It’s likely, and highly encouraged, that during your Finland tour, you partake of the sauna tradition as much as possible. Typically, Finns enter the sauna in groups separated by gender, and naked - but, if that’s just not your thing, bring a towel and at least give the sauna a try!
  • Consider an off-season Finland tour. Although the temperatures from September to May can be quite cold, the cities will be less crowded with tourists and the prices will be lower. Plus, there’s that added benefit of September to March being the best time to view the Northern Lights.

Additional details

Weather in Finland

Finland guided tours are offered year-round, with the bulk of the travel taking place between June and August, when the summer temperatures rise and it’s pleasant to take advantage of the countless lakes and rivers in the country. Remember, however, that Finland sits in both a maritime and continental climate, so travelers should be prepared for diverse weather - in short, dress in layers! The cold here is not brutal … warm air flowing in off the Atlantic and the Baltic keep the average winter temperatures higher than other countries of the same latitude (think southern Greenland, for example).

Summers in Finland are beautiful, thanks to mild, warm weather. Lapland’s Midnight Sun lasts for about two months. July is the warmest month, while February is the coldest. Note, however, that February is also the driest month and August is the wettest. As for the Northern Lights you’ve come so far to see, the Aurora Borealis are best viewed during Finland tours that take place September to March.

Do Finland Tours Visit Sweden and Norway?

It makes sense, if you have the time, to combine your Finland tour with guided visits of Sweden and Norway. Keep in mind that there is no direct train service between Sweden or Norway and Finland, but there are busses, some ferry service and of course, highways. Scandinavian guided tours will often include two or more of the countries in this region in one trip, choosing from the Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and the Nordic countries of Finland and Iceland.

What Language Do They Speak in Finland?

Finland’s two main languages are Finnish and Swedish - 91.6 percent of the population speak Finnish, while 5.5 percent speak Swedish. If you visit Lapland during your Finland tour, you may hear the Sami language spoken - about 2,000 residents speak this dialect.
