Finland Tours for Seniors
Our senior guests really appreciate how smoothly Finnish tours run. The Helsinki and South Karelia tour works perfectly - you've got easy train rides between places and hotels right in the center of things. Lots of our travelers tell us they love the relaxed walks through Lappeenranta's Old Town and taking it easy on evening Lake Saimaa cruises. There's also this nice combination tour that lets you explore Helsinki's museums and culture, then pop over to medieval Tallinn for day trips. During summer, the midnight sun tours fit well with senior groups - you get to visit reindeer farms, try your hand at gold panning and move between places in comfortable buses with plenty of stops to take in the views.
