“I loved this tour! I went in October and it was very cold but our guide had plenty of clean thick wool hats, gloves, and scarves, and windproof pants to slip over our pants to keep us warm. The forest was stunning and learning about mushrooms and finding them was enjoyable. Our guide was intelligent, made things comfortable and enjoyable. You ride over in van and it takes over an hour to get there. You get to help prepare the mushrooms which our guide cooks over a fire. We also had tasty salmon soup, rye bread, blueberry juice, cardamom bread and tea. It was a wonderful day!”
