Had a wonderful time hiking through Nuuksio National park. The park is beautiful, the hike is not too challenging but you have to be sure footed as the terrain is (of course) rather uneven. The meal was very nice and the bonus blueberries we got to pick along the trail were a nice little treat.

David knows the park inside and out and was able to tailor the routes to our physical limitations (as we have elderly parents). He is knowledgeable and very easy to liaise with. Homemade mushroom soup was 10/10. Must do if you have a chance to visit Helsinki!
