Our battlefield tours are arranged to the places that we know best: WWII battlefields in Karelia and around St Petersburg.

Special features of our trips:

  • Our guiding on the battlefields is based on research in Finnish (Sota-arkisto) and Russian (RGVA) archives and veteran interviews from Russia and Finland.
  • Our guides are from the Karelian Isthmus and St Petersburg, so they know the battlefields and can take tourists to the places that other guides are unaware of.
  • Our guides are wearnig original and replica uniforms from WWII.
  • We have extensive contacts with official Russian search parties, so we are able to provide insight into events on the battlefields after WWII.
  • We have contacts wth local Russian bus companies and can arrange transportation to places where normal tourist bus will not pass.
  • During the trip we try our best to give a balanced view of the battles.
  • Trips are scheduled in times when mosquitos and tall grass do not frustrate travellers in forests.

All these features make our battlefield tours unique.
