Passengers who have ever traveled to Finland on large metro buses are well aware of the benefits of traveling to Finland from home to home (from address to address). And indeed, this is the same as going to Finland by taxi. You don’t need to get to the metro and carry shopping bags on your own two feet on the way back. Having traveled to Finland in a house-to-house mode (from address to address), anyone will feel the difference, because we are traveling in a group of up to 8 people in a minibus.

It's really a good option in order to get a visa, buy all sorts of overseas things, and at the same time unwind by walking along the quiet streets of a rather boring Finland. And our company is a good helper for you in this!

By clicking on a specific direction, you can find information about it in more detail. For now I’ll just say that all these voyages are not at all tiring and are always fun and relaxed. And most importantly, with benefit!

During a 1-day trip to Finland, in addition to visiting various “holy” (for the local population) places, you will have great opportunity do some shopping in border shops in Finland, such as: “Laplandia Market”, “Disa’s Fish”, “Scandinavian Market”, “Lidl”, “Rajamarket”, etc. Believe me, there is something to see and buy there to please yourself, to spite your neighbors. This includes food, first of all, and things from all world brands, tires and accessories for the car (which is really profitable to buy there), goods for the home and for the garden. And much more.

Not a single trip to Finland from home by minibus is complete without visiting the rather cozy cafe at Disa’s Fish. The designers worked there were local and this is immediately noticeable.

Now a few words about the trips to Finland themselves for 1 day from home to home. What are the advantages of such tours and what is the difference from trips on large fifty-seater buses?

Advantages of traveling to Finland by minibus from home

1. Well, first of all: we pick up passengers from their homes and return them home safe and sound. You don't have to get to the bus boarding point yourself early in the morning. The number of people is limited by the capacity of the cabin, i.e. each minibus accommodates from 7 to 9 people. Therefore, the fees are not so long. It is always easier to travel with a smaller group, it is easier to negotiate, and you can painlessly fulfill any whim of a (sane) passenger.
2. Secondly: due to the fact that a minibus is considered a passenger car, we cross our and Finnish borders much faster than these “heavyweights” by 50 people. As a rule, even in the most holidays This whole procedure takes no more than an hour.
3. The third reason to travel to Finland on a home-to-home basis. There is no fat and ugly-colored woman here, i.e. guide, always yelling and swearing at all passengers. No one slips packages of cigarettes or alcohol to anyone, in a word, everything happens quietly and peacefully, as it should be during a 1-day tour to Finland.
