    Denise

    Asked on July 24th, 2025

    I am interested in a shorter version of this tour to start on August 2, 2025.

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written July 2025

      I'm afraid we don't have a shorter version of the Helsinki & South Karelia Express - 5 days. The shortest option we can offer will be Helsinki City stay. The cost of this tour based on a single traveller is USD$1,212.
