At a glance

  • Huskies and reindeer in Nuuksio National Park
  • Berry wine tasting at Lepaa
  • Lakeside Tampere and a traditional Finnish sauna
  • Hands-on craft workshop in Fiskars Village

This eight-day private Finland route is designed for travellers who want Southern Finland to feel varied, well paced, and easy to move through. You begin in Helsinki with a calm arrival, time to settle, and no pressure to start sightseeing immediately. From there, the journey opens into forest, animals, lakes, small towns, craft villages, and design-led city life, with private transport keeping the route clean from start to finish.

The early days balance Helsinki with the nature around it. Nuuksio brings huskies, reindeer, forest air, and warm drinks by the fire, while the city adds architecture, local stories, design, and a softer alpaca forest walk. Then the route moves inland through Lepaa, where berry wines and rural production give the transfer day a reason to exist, before Tampere adds lakeside rhythm, industrial heritage, and a traditional sauna reset.

The final part of the journey slows again in Fiskars Village. Craft becomes hands-on, with a pre-booked workshop and time for galleries, design shops, cafés, and quiet wandering before returning to Helsinki. The last full day stays flexible for shopping, museums, rest, or a private add-on, while departure is handled with a private airport transfer and proper timing buffers.

Day by day

The itinerary

Day 01
1

Day 1 — Arrival in Helsinki, Helsinki Airport

You arrive in Helsinki and begin the journey without rushing into the programme. A private driver meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel, leaving the evening open for rest, a walk, or a dinner reservation. The first day is kept intentionally light so the route can begin properly the next morning.

  • Private airport pick-up
  • Private transfer to the hotel
  • Hotel check-in
  • Free evening in Helsinki
  • Optional dinner reservation support

Day 2 — Huskies + reindeer + campfire

The first full day takes you out of the city and into the Nuuksio area, where the rhythm shifts quickly from urban arrival to forest quiet. The husky experience is matched to the season: a hike in late spring, summer, and autumn, or a ride when winter conditions allow. Reindeer, warm drinks, and a campfire break keep the day grounded and calm before returning to Helsinki.

  • Private transfer to the Nuuksio area
  • Seasonal husky experience
  • Husky hike in late spring to autumn
  • Husky ride in winter
  • Campfire break with hot drinks
  • Reindeer park visit with feeding, warm drink, and bun
  • Private transfer back to Helsinki

Day 3 — Helsinki private tour + alpaca forest walk + local contrast

This day gives you Helsinki with context rather than a fixed sightseeing script. A private guide shapes the city tour around your interests, whether that means design, architecture, culture, key landmarks, or local neighbourhoods. Later, the mood softens with a private transfer to an alpaca farm for feeding and a guided forest walk.

  • Private Helsinki city tour
  • Route shaped around guest interests
  • Design, culture, key sights, or local neighbourhood focus
  • Private transfer to alpaca farm
  • Alpaca feeding and guided forest walk
  • Return to Helsinki
  • Free evening

Day 4 — Helsinki to Tampere via Lepaa + berry wine

The route moves inland from Helsinki towards Tampere, with Lepaa turning the transfer into part of the journey rather than a logistics day. You stop for a winery visit, production overview, and berry wine tasting, with non-alcoholic alternatives arranged where needed. By evening, you arrive in Tampere and settle into the city’s lakeside rhythm.

  • Private transfer from Helsinki
  • Lepaa winery visit
  • Production overview
  • Berry wine tasting
  • Continue by private transfer to Tampere
  • Hotel check-in
  • Light or free evening

Day 5 — Tampere culture + lakeside sauna + warm reset

Tampere gives the route a different kind of Finnish character: red-brick industrial history, lake views, local stories, and a slower city pace than Helsinki. Your private guided day can include the Finlayson area, Tampere Cathedral, Pyynikki, and other stops based on interests and timing. Later, a traditional lakeside sauna gives the day a clean Finnish ending.

  • Private guided Tampere day
  • Finlayson area, Cathedral, Pyynikki, or similar highlights
  • Lunch reservation support
  • Traditional lakeside sauna session
  • Return to hotel
  • Optional dinner reservation support

Day 6 — Tampere to Fiskars + hands-on craft

You leave Tampere and travel privately towards Fiskars, one of Southern Finland’s strongest craft and design villages. A pre-booked workshop gives the day a hands-on centre, with forging or glassblowing arranged around safety rules and the group profile. The rest of the day stays open for galleries, design shops, cafés, and village wandering.

  • Private transfer to Fiskars area
  • Pre-booked craft workshop
  • Forging or glassblowing
  • Free time in Fiskars Village
  • Galleries, design shops, cafés, and village walks
  • Overnight in the Fiskars area
