Finland Tours for Solo Travelers
Our solo travelers really connect with Finland's mix of city life and natural spaces. There's this great 5-day tour combining Helsinki with Lappeenranta - you get to explore the capital then head out for peaceful lake views. The evening boat trip on Lake Saimaa is a highlight; our guests love chatting with other travelers while taking in the Finnish sunset. If you're after something more northern, we've got this winter journey that starts in Helsinki and takes the overnight Santa Claus Express up to Rovaniemi. The small groups work really well for solo travelers, and you get both guided activities and time to wander on your own. Lots of our customers also enjoy the Helsinki-Tallinn combo tour - it's easy to move between these historic cities and you've got local guides to show you around plus nice hotels already sorted.
