Helsinki Tour on Bike/Ebike: BBQ, Sauna, Forest, & Parks

About this activity

Experience why Finland is the world’s happiest country with our “Happiest Helsinki” Guided Tour. This isn’t a typical city sightseeing loop; it’s an active immersion into the Finnish soul. Swap the crowded tourist center for the serene trails of Keskuspuisto (Central Park), the historic island of Seurasaari, and hidden local haunts.

Led by an expert local guide, you’ll master the Finnish art of “Sisu” as we cycle through lush forests, enjoy a traditional outdoor BBQ, and conclude with an authentic lakeside sauna.
