Cycle Meilahti and Seurasaari by e-bike or bike, learn löyly in a Finnish sauna, enjoy BBQ and thermal baths in Helsinki.
“Luca was an awesome guide. He was well prepared and ensured that all bikes were working properly and kept the group on track, while providing an interesting narrative about the sights. This bike tour was a great way to get an overview of some distinctive aspects of Finnish culture in an off the beaten track way. Luca quickly stepped in and came through with a Plan B for a different sauna when there was a glitch with the lick on original sauna (not by fault of operator), which provided another dimension to our tour. Highly recommended!!!”

Amazing experience and a fantastic way to see Helsinki's archipelago 😊 Excellent service from start to finish, through booking, going on a hike, to being on the RIB itself.
