1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Cycling across a lake on a narrow roadway2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Don't take the shortest route between accommodation premises. This was a personal poor judgement.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Only in a negative way. Many of the places I stayed in seemed to be run by large companies.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I was very pleased to have been. However, the 30 hour ferry journey each way from Travemunde ate too much into the time available. I would want to explore the possibility of train travel from, say, Sweden another time.Read the operator's response here:
Please note! These 6 days in Finland were a very small, tailormade part of a longer cycle tour the guest had planned on his own. The hotels, which were booked by us were all small and family run, local companies. We did not influence on the ferry decisions or any hotels on the way from the UK to Travemünde.
