Top Helsinki Day Trips

From pick up to drop off the trip was lovely. It was a small group and Annette started with introductions to everyone. The journey was not too long and the last part was through the forest which was beautiful and green. Once parked we walked through the forest with regular stops to hear about the flora and fauna. Such an interesting history. Once we arrived we had an opportunity to explore whilst our lunch was prepared. We took a short walk and enjoyed the sunshine and dipped our feet in the Baltic Sea. The water was mesmerising reflecting off the sky, the views idyllic and the peace and quiet just incredible to sit, pause and relax. We all met back for lunch. Annette explained our local delicacies, which she had carried on her back from the van. My many dietary needs were catered for and I am extremely grateful, it is not often to get to enjoy a catered picnic when thinking about your diet. The communication about this from start to finish was excellent. Thank you Kia. We headed back a different route again enjoying our surroundings. It was a lovely way to enjoy Finland’s nature and I would highly recommend this trip.

If you like walking in the woods and want the experience of a true Finnish sauna, this is definitely the tour to take! Annetta was an excellent guide and took us through all the different temperature saunas and lake swims with much care as to what people in the group could handle. The hike was easy enough but still enjoyable and a good way to start. She cooked lunch while we were able to take time to explore by ourselves. But the saunas... wow! What an experience! I wish we had more time to do other tours that she was leading as she was a great guide!

Paulo was very responsive to our communications and requests for this tour. He is very knowledgeable of Helsinki and Finnish history. The trip to Porvoo was wonderful and he gave great recommendations for shopping and places to dine during our free time. The time spent in Helsinki was really worth it also as we got to see other sites that we had not been to prior to his tour. Paulo really goes out of his way to ensure you get the most out if your tour when in Helsinki. Highly recommend that you book an excursion with him or his company as you will not regret it. Absolutely the best day in Finland! All four of us are heaving this city feeling like we really got a great feeling of how life is here in this beautiful city and country.
