Customer testimonials

“Wide-ranging, packed, and target-oriented program; excellent organization and support, interesting insights into the digital economy and start-up scene of the visited countries (including one or the other suggestion for the IHK work) – and, not least, a group with which it was fun to spend four intensive days together. If you couldn’t be there, you missed something!”

“An entertaining, eye-opening and informative journey. Not only did we get to discover interesting companies and concepts, the tour group itself was great too. I will book again! Many thanks for the first-class organization! ”

“Diving into the founding culture of Sweden, Estonia and Finland in less than four days was not only incredibly inspiring, but also an eye-opener. Anyone looking towards a digitized future, seeking to redefine or expand their business model, or who is simply keen to take ideas and suggestions for their own work really has a lot to gain from a Baltic & Scandinavia Tec Tour. As participants, we were able to benefit from Stefan’s broad network and expertise, which he shared with us throughout the journey. Many thanks for the memorable experience. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!”

“It was very intense and eventful week. The program was ambitious and highly diverse. It felt a bit like being in a weekly sprint with one highlight straight after another (like in a startup that properly employs the Lean Startup methodology). Everyone in the group benefited from your tireless commitment. Many thanks for everything!”

“I was on the Baltic Tour organized by SpeedUp Europe in Hamburg, Stockholm, Tallinn and Helsinki from 07-10.10.2014. The tour was perfectly organized and the on-site talks were consistently enlightening. Particularly noteworthy is that the supporting activities were designed so that there was enough time to discuss what we’d learned with the rest of the fantastic travel group.”

“I was very fortunate to be part of the premier Lean Startup Conference 2016 tour in San Francisco. The program was rigorous and full of highlights. In addition to the impressive conference and outstanding speakers, there were several tours around some well-known startups in Silicon Valley. Thanks to the dedication of glocal consult, it was also possible to talk to interesting people from the startup scene and establish contact with them. Not only do have I some very nice memories from this trip, but I also received many helpful suggestions for further developing my company. Many thanks!”

“I have a lot of lasting impressions from the tour to the Lean Startup Conference in San Francisco! Through a combination of listening, interacting, experiencing, seeing and discussing, I was able to gather a lot experience that has given me new ideas and inspiration in my daily work. Thank you for the great organization and great collaboration! ”

“In 2015, I travelled to Silicon Valley and attended the Lean Startup Conference with tec.tours as part of our startup accelerator ‘SpeedUP! Europe’.” The trip was a great way to get a feel for the local ecosystem and to make new contacts. Thanks for the great memories!”

“Tec.tours organized and implemented our trip to Silicon Valley 2015 in a highly professionally manner. They were even so courteous as to grant our requests for specific flights and hotels. The program on-site was really diverse. It offered lots of interesting contacts and lasting impressions. Along with our luggage, we also were able to pack a lot of new ideas that we can put into practice when we get home! Would love to do it again!”
