ExploraFinlandia does not work as a travel agency that is why we do NOT sell combined travel packages (Package that includes Transportation, activities and accommodation in the same price).

We only charge you for the great value that our service provides. We are Freelance travel designers and you are the one who controls 100% of your travel budget.

Look, we will explain it to you briefly.

The investment to make this trip is divided into 3 parts.

1.- ExploraFinlandia design, advice and support service – It is what we bill you.

2.- Travel budget – All local services that make this travel design possible – You pay it directly.

3.- Flights – The most variable part of the price – You buy it directly.

It is a way of ensuring that the value of your budget ends up where it has to, adding quality to the trip in the most sustainable way possible.

We want you to be an active part of the organization of the trip and of the enjoyment and illusion prior to the departure date. Starting from this idea of ​​enjoying during the months prior to the trip, we create united groups, we communicate constantly to get to know each other better, break the ice… With this we achieve 2 things; first we sow the seed of a united group with all the benefits that this brings to the trip. Second, collaborate so that each participant makes some reservations directly without intermediaries.

With our help, each participant will make some reservations directly (Flight, local reservations that are essential to make in time, etc.), without that money passing through us. This way you will be able to know at all times where for your money, without intermediaries, without losses, in a more sustainable way, reaching the local economy to value much more everything that the trip includes.

And don’t worry, everything you have to book from home will hardly take you time and is a perfect excuse to get in touch and start living the trip together. We will help you with all this and once done we will focus on enjoying the whole experience.

Now read carefully the sections “ExploraFinlandiaService”, “Travel budget”, “Flights” and “What we are not” because they are very very important.

The part that we bill you has 3 value points that help you get a signature trip that is not repeated anywhere.

1 – AUTHOR TRAVEL DESIGN and ACCESS TO A MASTERPIECE IN THE FORM OF A TRIP

To make the trip possible: we negotiate with the locals in search of the best prices and the best possible experiences, find the coolest hotels so that they add value to the trip, coordinate transport… But this is the minimum for the travel, what everyone does…

Our design work goes further: you pay us so that your trip is pure art full of special moments. Our goal is to create a masterpiece that combines the most special sites of each country with the iconic «must see» places. We land all our traveling experience and turn it into a route that combines organized moments with that magic of the spontaneous that is essential in a great trip.

The trips we organize are not out of obligation, they are because we feel like doing them. That is why we do not repeat trips year after year, to keep our motivation to the fullest and make you experience something very, very special by our side.

This is the way to make the trip special, and not the copy of the copy of the trip that your neighbor already made.

2 – CREATE A UNITED GROUP OF SUPER LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE

We work to find the right people and build a fireproof team. It is important that all the members of the group go in line with the type of trip that is proposed here; People with an open mind, collaborative, eager to contribute and receive.

To do this, we conduct live interviews with each of the interested parties. We talk, we solve doubts, we feel the feeling and thus we help each person who contacts us to make the best possible decision in order to join this trip. Not all trips are for everyone, and if we see that someone is not going to enjoy this trip, we recommend another type of trip more in line with their tastes and needs.

This small filter allows us to create a super fun team that wants to give everything and is capable of creating an exponential experience.

3 – CONTRIBUTION OF VALUE BEFORE AND DURING THE TRIP

For us, a journey begins at home, months before leaving. And to start dreaming, we create a PRE-trip experience that allows us to start group contact. This is how we break the ice, we see each other’s faces, we feel the atmosphere and we create a united team that is a pineapple.

> During the months prior to the trip we will be in direct contact in a WhatsApp group and we will hold videoconferences to design the luggage, the first-aid kit, resolve all doubts instantly, buy flights and share all the organizational information of the trip. We will even meet the local guides who will tell us things about what we are going to experience on the trip.

We can even personalize the trip more: We will give you ideas for days off and we can even organize extra activities in a personalized way that enhance the individual experience.

This is what people value most because when we arrive at the airport and from minute 1 we feel the warmth of a group that has been collaborating for months.

ZERO doubts! – MAX atmosphere!

>> During the trip, we will be your English, we will be your mechanic, we will be your advisor, we will be your experience. The objective is that we travel together, without fear, as a team. And above all that we enjoy as a team everything that arises on the trip.

It is the part of the price of the trip that you manage yourself (with our help) to pay directly to local suppliers: hotels, local transport, visits, local guide services… Later you will have the full price breakdown explained perfectly.

1.- Sometimes we have to make some reservations from home

On some trips we will use part of this budget to reserve the services of the local guide, for the advance purchase of tickets, train / bus tickets or other services necessary for the trip, etc …

Once the group is formed, we will make these reservations from home. We meet, we enjoy the group, we make these reservations together. Of course, whoever wants to can make reservations on his own account and in a simple way with the information that we pass on to him. Of course, they represent a tremendous cost savings.

2.- You will take the rest of the budget to the trip.

You take most of the travel budget with you and normally you will use it during the first days to pay for everything that has been budgeted for this trip.

1. – To pay the local guide.
2. – To pay for accommodation
3. – To pay for visits.
4. – To pay for transportation

There will be expenses that are not budgeted for on this trip, such as the extra activities that we propose, some lunches and dinners, some transportation…

We don’t budget because we don’t know what everyone wants to eat at certain times of the day, because we don’t know when we’ll need a taxi, because we don’t know if you want to do some optional activities.

But before you can access the reservation of your place, we always explain the prices of those optional activities that enhance the trip.

The rest of the expenses are minimal and depend on each participant and her little vices 🙂

Flights are the variable part of the cost of a trip. We never know how much the flight will cost, what we do know is that the sooner you buy the better for 2 reasons:

1. Best prices.
2. You forget about headaches and wasted time and focus on enjoying the experience prior to the trip.
   We buy the flights once we have the minimum confirmed group and we always do it directly where the prices are cheaper.

Of course, we recommend several insurance options because you never know…

Because flights are a part of the travel budget that does not depend on us, and it is always important to have all the ends tied up. We will help you to the fullest!

Before you join this magnificent journey it is important that you understand what we are not, to understand what we are.

To do this, the first thing you should do is visit our “about us” page.
