Nikolai went above and beyond. He was an excellent tour guide! He shared interesting information about the flora and fauna of the peninsula as well as its historical significance. He was very kind and patient with my 85 year old mother in law. We walked at a gentle pace so that she could enjoy the walk. In addition, we had a wonderful lunch near a cozy fire on a very windy day. We highly recommend this tour and the guide!

We were in Helsinki on a cruise ship and deliberately decided to take a trip into nature. Szabi is an excellent guide who knows how to impart a lot of interesting information about the flora and fauna at Porkkalanniemi peninsula to his guests. Under his guidance, we discovered beautiful places that we would never have found without him. There was enough time for photo stops and individual leisure time. The absolute highlight of the trip was a picnic around the campfire with delicious Finnish specialties. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and can only recommend it to everyone. Thank you Szabi for this fantastic day and continued success with your company!
Highlight of my trip!

Spent a few days in Helsinki in March 2025, and decided to take this trip to explore some of the nature around the Helsinki-area. Despite loving the charm of Helsinki, this trip was by far the highlight of my entire trip! Our guide was friendly and keen to share knowledge about the flora and fauna of the area, local history and Finnish folklore. I know for sure that I'll book another tour with these guys when I return to Finland.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide, Szabo, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He took great care of our group, especially my husband when he needed to take a break and rest. We loved learning about the forest and the chance to appreciate the natural beauty of Finland. The stop for a campfire and Finnish treats was a bonus. Would highly recommend!

Meeting point was a little confusing but we managed to meet up with the van . Atrocious weather for June on the day but fortunately when we arrived at the reserve it started to ease off with the rain . Hike was excellent and campfire snack was tasty . Peaceful rewarding experience albeit a little expensive.

Such a beautiful day out! The hike was lovely, views were gorgeous and overall a relaxing experience. Our guide, Nikolai, was great! He was knowledgeable about plant life and told us so much about Finnish life, language and culture. The campfire lunch was lovely. They were kind enough to provide a vegan option for me, which was very appreciated (and tasty!). Highly recommend!
