“I thoroughly enjoyed my biking tour with Luca. we had a great group of people I liked most, was a diversity of activities. There was cycling and walking, we got to go through the open air museum, had a barbecue, and, the icing on the cake was going to the sauna! Although I'm not vegetarian or vegan, the food was very good. It is very clear that Luca is a very detail orientated guy who thinks of everything to make sure his guests have a great time! I'd highly recommend this tour!”

“We had such a memorable day today! Olli was an AMAZING guide. He took my husband and out on the RIB boat, which felt a lot like riding a jet ski (without getting wet of course). From there we went to a small island where we got to take in the sights, spend time in a wood sauna, have a wonderful Finnish lunch of Salmon soup (prepared by Olli), and just enjoy the beautiful outdoor weather. My husband and I felt safe and in good capable hands all day. We will never forget this excursion and definitely recommend it to anyone coming to Helsinki.”
