What are people saying about Helsinki

Michelle_B, Jun 2026

A tailored tour

Jonna was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She was friendly, a great storyteller of history, and made sure we were all comfortable (letting us pick sun or shade for several stops and ensuring we took routes that have fewer stairs as my step-dad has a hard time with them). She made sure to understand what we wanted out of the tour up front so she could deliver that (and more). We got to see and better understand several really interesting places and how the Finnish country has changed over time. Our whole group of 6 thought she did a fantastic job.

Helsinki Private Walking Tour with a Local

Tammy_A, Jun 2026

Go ahead and book it (you know you want to)

We booked this tour to get a good overview of the city on our first day in Helsinki. It did not disappoint! Our guide Maru was the best. We walked all over, saw amazing things and chatted the whole way. It truly was like having an old friend walk us around. It was as if she had known us for years and knew all the things we would be curious about. She also recommended certain pastries, food, restaurants and coffee shops for us to visit during the rest of our stay. Don’t hesitate to book it! Kiitos Maru! Ensi kertaan asti!

Porvoo tour from Helsinki or Vantaa

Sally_E, Jun 2026

Authentic Finland

Helsinki is great, but it’s become multicultural like most cities today. To get a look at a more typical Finnish village, check out Porvoo. The town has modern sections but also carefully preserves the historic buildings. The town has a significant place in Finland’s history as well. Darius gave us a very informative talk on the drive out on the history and culture of Finland, with amusing anecdotes to help us better understand the people. It was one of the best summaries I have ever heard. That background was helpful context for the sites in Porvoo. The arrangements were good and clearly communicated. This outing was one of the highlights of our trip!

Easy to find tour guide in senate square with blue and white umbrellas. Seamless check in process. Tour was on time and well guided. Very informational. Only wish we could stop for a moment and purchase items when told about wonderful things in Helsinki (for instance at bakery recommendation). Perfect experiences, give it a try!

Excellent Late Afternoon Tour

Excellent walking tour of Helsinki with guide, Elena! What a beautiful, walkable city. Our two hours provided and excellent overview of the history and landmarks. I was especially drawn to this tour because we needed a late afternoon start time of 5pm based on arrival time to Helsinki. At the end of the tour Elena recommended the perfect restaurant for salmon soup and a local beer.

Beautiful park and David is so knowledgeable

I loved it! It was so nice to get out in nature and not worry about getting lost, as I sometimes do. David was a great tour guide and he has so much knowledge and respect for the nature. He showed us all the types of berries, trees, and bog plants in the area. We even saw a poisonous snake and David was fully informed and ready to handle any situation (nothing bad happened). The lake views are gorgeous and the air is so fresh.

Helsinki to Tallinn Guided Tour -cruise ticket & pick up included

Lee_M, May 2026

The best organized trip ever!

Let me start by saying this was the best-organized trip I have ever taken. From being picked up at the hotel, the driver took me to the ferry terminal, showed me where to check in, made sure I got my tickets, and showed me where to go before leaving. The guide was outside waiting at the ferry terminal in Tallinn. Once the tour was over, she showed me where the pickup point was for the driver to drop me back at the ferry terminal, and arriving back in Helsinki, the driver from this morning was there waiting to take me back to the hotel. Everyone was on time and so friendly. Although it was just me on the tour, I have never had so much fun laughing and joking with someone as I did with my Russian-born guide (I do know her name, but spelling it correctly is another thing altogether, and I really don't want to embarrass her with my attempt). Her knowledge was incredible, and she answered every question I had, which was many. The whole experience was one of the best I have ever had on my travels around the world. The three wonderful hours I spent with the guide walking around Tallinn is something I will always cherish.

Moi, moi moi!

Marius was a very good guide with nice energy, knowledgeable, and funny. I took during a 7 hour layover. I had time before to get coffee and karjalanpiirakka. Then after, went to a recommended restaurant for good salmon soup, and reindeer with mash. The tour took us around a fair amount of Helsinki centre, and ended near the railway station which was ideal.

Helsinki & Suomenlinna: City Highlights Tour with Ferry Ride

BENJAMIN_L, Apr 2026

Helsinki Highlights!

A packed day of Helsinki highlights. Sergio and our driver for the first half, Bekke, took us around and showed us the sights from the new library to the Olympic stadium, Sibelius monument and Senate square. Their double act was informative and hilarious with different perspectives and banter. We had time at the market square for lunch before taking the ferry to the sea fortress island (in reality a huge community!) with great info from Sergio at every step. On returning to the mainland he gave us a little souvenir of our time together. Highly recommend.

Awesome tour! Sanna was great!

Awesome tour, lots of history and sights, fun ferry ride to the island. Sanna was an excellent guide, making sure no one got lost in Finland. She provided current and historical details of all locations. It was a great tour that hit all the major points of Helsinki in an afternoon, thanks!

Porvoo Old Town & Riverside Heritage Guided Tour from Helsinki

Karan_A, Jan 2026

Time spent very well

Sergio is a very knowledgable, warm and patient guide. We were on the tour with kids and they had a lovely time, he was very attentive and responsive to the kids and had answers to all our questions. We absolutely loved the first half of the day spent on the Porvoo & Riverside Old Town Heritage tour. He went out of his way to help us plan the days in Helsinki and address scheduling issues. Would strongly recommend the experience..

Epic Helsinki: English Speaking Walking Tour

Dimitry_R, Oct 2025

Fun and thorough

The guide took us on a wide array of locations around central Helsinki. The tour is fun, informative, and not difficult. It is interesting to see the city from the perspective of a non-native local resident (the guide is an American student) - it may even be more valuable for a tourist than getting the perspective of a local guide. The guide has a good sense of humor which is apparent throughout the tour and a unique style. Well, actually, he could have used the word "actually" a bit less, it's kind of distracting, but not so much that it interferes with the experience. Anyway, highly recommended.
