    Kiitos paljon, Tristan and Henrik! You are good guides, good chefs, and good friends. I and my mom really enjoyed super relaxing experience. It was like I visited to my friends cottage. I strongly recommend it.

    My wife and I had a great time competing in the cottage games, having some wonderful Finnish food and drink with two great hosts. The highlight was enjoying the sauna and jumping into the Gulf of Finland afterwards. If you want to experience the tranquil life of Finland this is a must do.

    I have been using Viator for family vacations for many years and this was by far the best tour/experience we have had. We were traveling with young adults, who can be hard to please, but all agreed it was the best day of their holiday. Both Tristan and Henrik were incredible hosts who made us feel more like friends than customers. The Cottage was adorable and the Finnish landscape was breathtaking. We were not entirely sure what to expect from the day, but certainly the experience exceeded all possible expectations. Henrik is a very talented cook and baker and Tristan was organized, friendly and very responsive in setting up the logistics. They were a terrific team and we can’t wait to do it again. I highly recommend this experience!

    I just loved the island and the cottage. What a privilege to get to spend a day there, or a lifetime like our guide Henrik. I felt that both guides really enjoyed what they were doing: showing us around, telling stories about the Finnish culture, cottage culture, the history of the place and the nature and joking around. We chose the cottage olympics package and the games were so fun! The sauna in the end felt like the perfect finnish (pun intended) to the day!

    Our group had a great day in the Finnish nature with our two amazing guides. Upon arrival we got a tour on the island and heard all kinds of interesting stories from the region. After that we got to make some traditional Finnish food, which was awesome. Then we cut som wood for the sauna and lit it our selves which was very exciting. Everything was done in a relaxed fashion. The "Relax in the Archipelago" was the perfect combination of relaxing and activity.
