Well, earlier today it was time for the very first tour of Summer 2008. And for our very first updated A Taste of Porvoo and Countryside tour. We had actually done this tour a couple of times last year to test it out with some willing research subjects, but this was the Real Thing. And [...]

Our summer tours this year include the popular Turku & Archipelago Experience, updated Porvoo tour called A Taste of Porvoo and Countryside, which besides Porvoo visits the small country town of Elimäki, and the new evening tour we’re calling A Finnish Summer evening. The evening [...]

The Great Rudolf Flyer Run 2008 Part I now done. I’ve visited most of the over fifty places I had marked down for myself on a what turned out to be a very cramped and colourful map of central Helsinki. It was quite of an interesting operation in more ways than one.
I got [...]
Just how many hotels, hostels and B&Bs are there in Helsinki?!?

So, now that our summer flyers have arrived from the printers it’s time to think about how to get them around to all the places our potential customers might be looking for them.
I’ve spent a good deal of the day listing every single accommodation provider in Helsinki and marking them down with little red [...]
The Flyer. It’s done now. I hope.

I’d had the flyer sitting patiently on my computer’s hard drive for a few months now waiting for little details to be ironed out so it could be sent to the printers. Well, the details were sorted out, and I sent it off. After proof-reading and spotting a few obligatory spelling mistakes it was ready [...]
Inflation? Yay? No!

I’ve been busy at work trying to plan the Lapland Adventures for winter of 2009. The travel business is a strange business. We’ve only just come back from the Lapland tour, and the season is still going strong up in Lapland, and now I’m trying to find out how much things will cost in 2009. [...]

Yesterday we had the pleasure of touring with the some curlers (or should I say curling players?). The week Vierumäki Sport Academy is hosting the World Championship Curling for Seniors’ and Women. And we had the chance to take some of the Canadian curling players and their families on a tour around Southern Finland.
Vierumäki [...]

Today was our very first Turku & Archipelago Experience tour since late December. During 2008 were we first on holiday in New Zealand (yay!) and then we had the Lapland Adventure to keep us busy. And we couldn’t have done this tour even if we had wanted to since our special lunch place was also [...]
Global warming

In some ways I’m very concerned about the future of our winter Lapland tour. One of the biggest being that in the future due to global warming there might not be enough snow up in Lapland for all the winter activities that people love so.
The Metrological Institute had said that the past January [...]

So, since last August has the upcoming Lapland Adventure taken a good measure of my time. There’s been a whole to plan, as we have not run tours in Lapland before. I guess the most difficult thing after we decided what kind of activities and which places we would like to show to our tour [...]
