Lilla Patrícia Walter

I’m originally from Budapest, Hungary, but I spent two years partly living in Portugal, which deepened my love for calmness and nature. Traveling has always been a big part of my life, and through my journeys, I’ve had the chance to connect with so many incredible people and places. Finland, and especially Lapland, holds a special place in my heart. The peace and beauty of the region are truly unmatched.

I believe in the power of travel to create meaningful experiences, and when I design trips, I strive to blend the must-see highlights with hidden gems and unique moments that help you connect with the places you visit. For me, responsible travel and respect for nature are essential values. Driven by a deep love for our planet, we ensure that every journey leaves a positive impact, supporting initiatives that restore nature and preserve the beauty of the world we explore.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I primarily specialize in Finland, with a particular focus on Lapland, while the Baltic States are a secondary area of expertise. My offerings range from city sightseeing to more off-the-beaten-path destinations. I specialize in unique, authentic, and traditional experiences, with a strong emphasis on nature-based tourism. This region is blessed with pristine natural beauty, and my aim is to showcase it in its purest form. Whether it’s chasing the northern lights, enjoying sustainable wildlife tours, or exploring the tranquil forests and lakes of Lapland, nature is at the heart of what I do. I strive to avoid large group tours and touristy activities, focusing instead on intimate experiences that allow you to connect deeply with the environment. From the serene lakes of Finland to the lush landscapes of Estonia, and the rugged beauty of northern Norway and Swedish Lapland, every trip is designed to give you a true taste of these breathtaking regions."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I spent two years partly living in Portugal before moving to Rovaniemi, seeking something completely different. It was during this time that I realized my passion for working with people and sharing beautiful destinations with them. I discovered how much I enjoy connecting with others while showcasing the wonders of the world. This experience inspired me to focus on offering unique travel experiences and helping people explore places that leave a lasting impression. Whether it's the charm of the Nordic landscapes or other stunning locations, I love showing people what the world has to offer!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of the most unforgettable travel experiences I had was a beautiful kayak trip in the Algarve, where I had the chance to visit the famous Benagil Cave by kayak. The clear blue waters and dramatic cliffs surrounding the coastline were simply breathtaking, and as I paddled closer to the cave, the anticipation grew. Once inside, the sunlight streamed through the natural opening in the cave, creating a magical glow on the water. It was so peaceful, surrounded by the echoes of the waves and the sense of being in such a unique place. The whole experience felt surreal, as though I was exploring a hidden world, and I couldn't help but appreciate the raw beauty of nature around me. After leaving the cave, I paddled along the coast, enjoying the quiet and the incredible scenery, feeling completely connected to the environment. It was a moment that truly reminded me of the importance of being present in nature, and it’s a memory I’ll cherish forever."

The guide in Tallinn was exceptional!! University history professor named Jonas. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The highlight of the day trip without a doubt!!
Overall trip planning was excellent!! Suggested activities were terrific!!
Only comment would be with the selection of the Hotel Lilla Roberts. Our room was 5 sets of stairs plus an open courtyard from the main desk. This was difficult for us being in our 70’s.

Would do it all over again with more time in Levi and Rovaniemi. The day trip to Tallinn was a highlight of the trip. As was the Levi hotel and the ice floating in Rovaniemi with the northern lights visible.
Overall the people in Lapland were more friendly than Helsinki. Although we had a cab driver there who lifted our spirits the last day we were there. Friendly, honest and helpful!!!

Our tours 100% wonderful. Saw lights thanks to Ryan and cannon hike guide a very nice person, Martin. Santa land very commercial. Reindeers farm was an unexpected highlight! A very impressive young man. Excellent and comfortable trip to Inari. There the trip went down hill. Resort atmosphere quite cold, dull staff and accomodation quite uncomfortable. Too hot! Highlight was the beauty of the lake and fabulous museum. Lilla is a delight and meeting her was a bonus. Well done Kim Kim
