Harry was a great tour guide. We made a couple of extra unexpected stops to see a bit more and still finished on time.

Our guide was Leticia and she was delightful. We had a lovely time roaming the city, first by bus, then by foot. We took a ferry to Suomenlinna which was a highlight. Highly recommend this as an excursion on your first day in Helsinki, to help inform the remainder of your trip.

Wij hadden een superleuke 5u durende tour met Leticia. Gecombineerd met het Suomenlinna eiland per ferry. Haar kennis is van begin tot eind perfect aangevuld bij alles wat we bezochten!

Evy, our tour guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable. There was no question left unanswered. Her passion for & pride in her city of Helsinki was what made the whole tour memorable. It is one of the best walking tours we have experienced. Thank you Evy for sharing your city with us. Evy 5 stars!

I booked this tour several months ahead of our visit, and as the day drew closer, the tour operator contacted us to say we’d been upgraded to a bus tour with all the same stops. This was certainly fine with us and we did see all the wonderful sights in the city (except the rock church, which had sadly been taken off the itinerary without informing me in advance) as well as some free time in the market. The trip over to Suomenlinna, however, was quite rushed - it was not at all a leisurely stroll to learn about and appreciate the place, our guide was quite set on staying on schedule. Again, staying on schedule is understandable, but for us it was too rushed to feel comfortable. This, plus the change of itinerary without informing us, is the reason for 4 stars. Otherwise though, the guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our day - for first time visitors, I might suggest skipping Suomenlinna unless you have at least 3 hours dedicated to that part of the day, plus more time for the city sights.

Vraiment très instructif et César notre guide était attentionné. C'est un bon aperçu de la ville pour ceux qui n'ont pas trop de temps. Attention cependant à être bien chaussés. nous avons marché 15 kilomètres dans la journée.

We had a wonderful tour guide, Georg. He was a walking encyclopedia about Finland. We learned so much. If you want to learn the history and cultural significance of the various point of interest, Georg is the right person for it.
