Tallin to Vladivostok with Peter Pan Tours

I too would be interested in a testimonial from someone who has been on the first tour they are doing this august 2019. I think this august will be the first attempt at this trip.

Second hand info only, friend and his wife took their Route 66 tour a couple of years ago. They were happy with it and enjoyed the information of the tour guide a lot.

Thumbs down Peter Pan . com tours or Peter Rutsalo

Hi, i would strongly advise against using Peter Pan bike tours or any company headed up by Peter Rutsalo / peterpan.com. I (& others) paid him a €400 deposit for a tour he didn't deliver and never told us. We ended up having to hire the guide directly. The guide is completely independent of Peter Pan and was let down by PP also. He refuses to return the money

on the date of your post i had just left peter in estonia after touring finland, sweden, norway and russia with him for 2 weeks. peter is funny, warm, generous and the guide you wish could take you everywhere. it is difficult to reconcile your post with my experience. something is amiss.

Peter Ruotsalo founded PeterPan Bike and have now to my knowledge separated from PeterPan Bike
and have a new company in France. I have no experience with him.

http://www.peterpanbike.fi

PeterPan Bike is operating from Finland and highly recommended.
I was on their 20y anniversary trip Chennai, India - Helsinki, Finland 2018.
65 days and 15000km. We bought Royal Enfield Himalayan and rode in
2 groups to Finland.

India - Nepal - China - Kyrgyzstan - Tadziskistan - Uzbekistan - Turkmenistan -
Azerbaijan - Georgia - Turkey - Bulgaria - Romania - Ukraina - Belarus - Latvia -
Estonia - Finland.

Here a video of our India - Finland ride.

Been also on a PPB short ride in Finland and in May we go to Georgia for 12days.
Check here a video from Georgia in our strange language.

PeterPan Bike web pages are in Finnish, but you can contact them in English.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
