    Scrumptious Soup

    Anita_B, Feb 2026
    Driver met us in the hotel with a smile. He told us great stories about his life in Lapland and before. The property that the cottage is situated in is picturesque and beautiful. Very authentic and clean. We had a fun cooking class with Eliana, chef and hostess was a great teacher. She guided us to create a delicious soup. We enjoyed dinner together and for dessert a homemade berry pie. Go on this tour you will not be disappointed!

    What an experience to be able to learn how to prepare a traditional Finnish meal. Our host was truly amazing and very welcoming. We were picked up at our hotel and went to a cabin in the woods located on Tahtamalmapi lake. Our driver was filled with “fun facts” and was able to answer all of our questions. Our host surprised us with homemade blueberry pie and a variety of beverages for us besides the salmon soup we prepared under her guidance. This was a great afternoon and does not take up your whole day. Highly recommend this excursion.

    The cooking course was a birthday gift from my wife. We had a really good time! Andrey and his wife, Darya, picked us up at our cottage. Unfortunately we were a bit a late due to a delay of our other excursion so they had to wait for us, but they were very understanding and nice about it. Andrey and Darya told us a lot of fun facts about Rovaniemi and Lapland in general during the car ride.They are very knowledgable and amicable. At their cottage we met Elena who taught us how to make traditional Lappish salmon soup. Elena is a very friendly lady who was taught by her grandmother. The soup we made was delicious and rich in taste! We definitely will try to make this soup at home! At the end they sang happy birthday to me and we were treated with a great berry pie! Thank you, Elena, Andrey and Darya for this great experience, we had a wonderful time! We can recommend this course to everyone!

    Amazing experience. We're good food. Nice location in the middle of 2 lakes. Super stunning and welcoming people.

    Great food, Great location

    This whole trip was a delight. From the pick up at our hotel to the spot out between two lakes where we did the cooking, everything was great. The salmon soup is a very easy recipe and comes together pretty quickly. We were amazed by how much depth of flavor came from so few ingredients. There were only two of us so the tour was only about 2.5 hours, but we enjoyed it and would recommend it for others.
