Helsinki, Northern Lights and Glass Igloo Visit

March 1st 2025

Your choreography was perfect. All drivers and activities were on time, we never were worried that we had missed a connection, and the preparatory material very helpful.

The walking tour guides were outstanding. All three women were extremely knowledgeable about their cities and cultural aspects of the places we visited. Easily, the best city walking tours I have ever taken. (I am absolutely in love with the architecture of Helsinki.)

We especially enjoyed the dogsled trip. The people working with the dogs were very friendly, kindly answered all our questions, and were not rushed so it all felt very relaxing. The owner was terrific!

Of course, the glass igloos were unimaginably magnificent! We were fortunate that two of our three nights were clear and allowed us to watch spectacular demonstrations of dancing lights in the heavens. Our third and last night was a snowstorm, so it provided yet another opportunity to experience something different.

The other hotels were certainly a different experience for us. I can say neither of us has ever stayed in a hotel as elegant as the Grand Poet in Riga! And the staff at the front desk were all so friendly and accommodating.

It was a magnificent trip. You did a wonderful job planning and executing every day. I would definitely recommend 50 Degrees North to others who want to experience Finland!
