Amazing holiday - well planned routes - excellent bikes and equipment. The accommodation was comfortable with saunas and good food. Cycling around the archipelago was simply fantastic and the route information included lots of places we would have missed on our own. Matti was so helpful - arranging the holiday at the last minute for us (during the pandemic) and he also drove us from Helsinki as the train line was out of service on our first day. I highly recommend booking through Happy e-bikers. It's a lovely way to see Finland.
