“My friend and I had a lovely evening on Lake Saimaa in Arto's eco-boat. Arto was a wonderful tour guide and I learnt a lot about Lake Saimaa and the Saimaa ringed seals, which was completely new to me. It was really nice that the group was small and that there were lots of opportunities to ask questions. I would highly recommend this cruise.”

“It was our first trip to Finland. Our boat guide Arto was knowledgeable and friendly. He shared interesting information about Finland. A very pleasant experience”

“Disfrutar de las vistas a las islas desde el kayak fue muy especial. El archipiélago de Turku cuanta con paisajes hermosos, que lucen mucho en esta época del año, con el sol de medianoche y unos cielos espectaculares. A pesar de la gran cantRead more”

“Leuke activiteit, dekens aanwezig. Eten en drinken. Vriendelijke mensen. Helaas geen saimaa-rob gezien. Olavinlinna goed kunnen bekijken vanaf het water.”

“Henrik showed us the main sights of Oulu and explained the historical background of the city in an easy and interesting way. His English and the way he tells stories are really good. We enjoyed the tour a lot and can recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know the city better — especially during the European Capital of Culture year in 2026. A small suggestion for the guide - Sharing further information: restaurant and sauna recommendations and some sightseeing spots outside the city center e.g. with a QR-Code or PDF.”

“Our guide, Janne though not a native was extremely knowledgeable and personable and had recently written a book about Aland. She took us to several special places including a visit with a 92 year old poetry writing fisherman. Her tour was exceptional and allowed us to learn more about the way of life in Aland”

“Great evening boat trip on Saimaa! Arto’s small electric boat literally places you at the level of the waterline. You can feel and smell the lake while enjoying his insightful explanations and commentary. Language on the trip was English due to a mixed group which Arto handled with ease. Though we didn’t see one of the rare ringed seals (anyway rather unlikely in August), a lot of wildlife could be observed including several sea eagles. Highly recommend this boat trip, great value for the money.”

“Kartano museo oli kaunis mutta alue oli laaja joten kaipaisin opastaulua jossa alue olisi selkeästi esitetty jotta museoihin tutustuminen olisi sujuvampaa.”

“Great experience! Easy booking and communication. Jussi was so friendly and a great photographer! He brought his camera and took beautiful photos of me and the northern lights. A true adventure I’ll never forget.”

“Visited today both Gösta/ Kartano and Pääkonttori museums. Amazing views! Special thanks for our great guides Tarja Viitanen and Mira Anttila who made the visit even more enjoyable🥰”

“Arto ist ein sehr freundlicher, geduldiger und lustiger Guide! Er war sehr flexibel bei seinen Angeboten (Ice Floating und Ice Scooter). Er hat interessante Dinge über Finnland und Umgebung erzählt und Tipps gegeben. Zwischendurch hat er Fotos und Videos zur Erinnerung gemacht. Klare Empfehlung!”

“Arto è molto simpatico, educato e ha spiegato tutto in maniera dettagliata e perfetta. Ha anche offerto un dolcetto e caffè o tea o succo di frutta per i bambini. Ci torneremo sicuramente in autunno per vedere i colori della natura e a maggio per avvisare le foche. Consigliato!!”

“Wonderful, enjoyed seeing a different area of Finland outside of Helsinki. Even though it was the end of the season for seals, the boat guide was able to locate one.”

“Reitti oli kaunis ja opas kertoi kivasti yksityiskohtia ohittamistamme alueista. Kalasääskin pesä oli kiva nähdä vaikkakin kaukaa.”

“We did this as a filler-day and very glad we added it to the itinerary. It is another beautiful location with a lot of history. The castle is not like what you imagine compared to other European medieval locations or in the movies. It's simple in many ways, and provided a new perspective of my imagery and understanding of its time period in this area of the world. Best word may be - illuminating. We had seniors with us, so I would like to provide awareness that this is not the best location to visit if you have a hard time getting around. The roads are old style coble stone,…”
