What To Expect
Riistavuoren and Huopalahden parks. Riistavuoren Park is situated in the eastern part of the city, while Huopalahden Park is located in the west. Riistavuoren Park is a hilly and wooded area that covers approximately 10 hectares. It is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, and picnicking. The park features a network of trails that wind through the forested hills and offer scenic views of the city. Huopalahden Park, on the other hand, is a larger and more varied green space that covers approximately 50 hectares. It features a mix of forested areas, meadows, and wetlands, as well as several small lakes. The park is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. Both parks offer a peaceful escape from the urban environment of Helsinki and provide opportunities for visitors to connect with nature and engage in outdoor recreation. They are valued resources for the local community.

Easy riding on park trails!

5.00The other reviews are telling the truth - this is an excellent bike tour led by a local! Plenty of stops to take pics or learn about Finnish history & culture, and fun trails out in nature and the forests. Except when visiting the public sauna, in a nice part of the city. It was a beautiful clean gym with a choice of a lap pool, therapy pool, or aqua jogging after showering, soaking in the sauna heat, and cold plunging! I’m a big fan now. (Women & men are segregated in the sauna, locker room, and showers, not to worry). Robert is a kind and easy going family man. As a 50+ woman in moderate shape, I felt perfectly capable of operating the ebike, and comfortable with just 3 of us total on the tour. The other bike rider used a road bike, and kept up no problem (though he was in excellent shape). E-bikes are in excellent shape, and appear fairly new. What a special experience! Such thoughtful perks too, with local chocolate and a vegan repast. I highly recommend it!

5.00Wow - what an amazing experience exploring Helsinki on e-bike. Robert our guide was very friendly and informative, the bikes were super comfortable and easy to use, and the route was suitable for all. Just as we settled in for our yummy lunch it started to snow, and once we completed our Sauna we were greeted by a white-out which was a magical experience cycling our last leg through the local park and forest - Highly Recommend!!

5.00Lovely day at a relaxed pace. Robert the guide was very engaging, knowledgable and enthusiastic. Cycling is mostly on excellent infrastructure cycle paths and forest trails. E-bikes are a little industrial but do the job if pedal assistance is required, but route is largely flat and pace very easy. Transport links and directions to start are excellent, although I would pay close attention to the weather, as you will get soaked if it's raining. very scenic and uplifting experience and the genuine Finnish sauna was fascinating.
Be aware of the weather...

Best way to experience Helsinki

5.00This Helsinki Forest bike tour was outstanding, much to the credit of our guide, Robert. Robert’s knowledge of Finland’s history is diverse and he shared out of the ordinary stories of the country’s past. We rode e-bikes through the local forest to a heritage island where we ate a special lunch made by Robert, enjoyed in a little hut sheltered from the rain. The true highlight for my husband and I was the public pool where we enjoyed a hot sauna, a relaxing pool and attempts at a cold plunge. Afterwards, we were back on our bikes to see the Helsinki police horse stables and the beautiful community gardens. Robert also showed us the President and Prime Minister of Finland’s residences. The forest foliage hosted many varieties of mushrooms and small wildlife. This bike tour was definitely the highlight of our holiday in Helsinki. We highly recommend it! Special thanks to Robert for making the tour top notch :)
Highly recommend!

5.00We had an absolute blast on our eBike tour and BBQ experience in Helsinki with Robert and his son Luca! Our family of 13, including kids, were all thrilled with the adventure. Robert's knowledge of Helsinki's history and landmarks added so much depth to the tour, and both he and Luca ensured our safety on the streets. The BBQ was delicious, and the lake dip was refreshing! The scenery was stunning, and the weather was perfect. We can't recommend this experience enough - it's a must-do in Helsinki! 5 stars isn't enough - we'd give it 10 stars if we could! Highly recommend!"

5.00Turned out to be a private tour, as I was the only booking for the day! Fantastic experience, a truly different way to take in Helsinki, it's sights, and Finnish culture. If I was returning with others, I'd book this again in a heart beat.
Great route and excellent guide
