Oodi, Helsinki’s award-winning central library, is a striking showcase of Finnish design and innovation. On this tour, you’ll explore this stunning building with its flowing wooden curves and crisp white roof, and experience firsthand how Finnish culture comes together here. The tour begins on the bustling ground floor, where floor-to-ceiling glass walls symbolize Finnish transparency and openness. You’ll discover how this architectural gem earned its name (”Ode” in English) through a public competition, and why it was crowned the world’s best public library in 2019. As you explore, I’ll share insights into Finnish values and cultural quirks – with a touch of my characteristic dry humor. You’ll make your way through all three of Oodi’s delightfully distinct floors, each with its own personality. You’ll ascend to the book-filled third floor where 100,000 volumes in over 80 languages share space with living trees, art installations, and breathtaking views of the Finnish Parliament.

Suomenlinna is one of the world’s largest sea fortresses, and it sprawls across a series of six small islands. On this walking tour, I’ll show you around, and share the rich history of the island that’s been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991. You'll see the Jetty Barracks which were designed to accommodate 250 soldiers in peacetime, the Suomenlinna Church which was once an Orthodox garrison church and is now an Evangelical-Lutheran church, and the Great Courtyard where you’ll find Augustin Ehrensvärd's grave. As you make your way around the island, I’ll tell you about the Mortuis Memorial Stone, the Military Museum of Manes and the 1918 Prisoner-of-War Camp Memorial which marks the spot where 8,000 prisons were held. While this two-hour tour is perfect for those who want to find out more about the island fortress’ history, we’ll also share some interesting facts about Helsinki and Finland with you. Did you know, for instance, that there are more saunas than cars in Finland?

Helsinki & Suomenlinna: City Highlights Tour with Ferry Ride

Georganne_M, Aug 2026

It was very nice to...

It was very nice to travel in a van with a small number of people. Sergio and Jamie were wonderful guides who gave us lots of interesting information about Helsinki and Finland in general. The ferry ride was pleasant and Suomenlinna was interesting to visit. We did have some rain during the day, but that’s unavoidable.

A wonderful hiking of tiaga

It was a perfect Sunday hiking in Liesarvi National Park. The travel from Helsinki was a comfortable drive. Our tour leader Alex was awesome.

He shared all the interesting information about the forest. He prepared a delicious lunch for us. Overall it was a wonderful tour.

Porvoo Old Town & Riverside Heritage Guided Tour from Helsinki

Heather_E, Jul 2026

An educational and relaxing tour

The town is very worth seeing. History markers plus our guide’s informative comments were great. I travel to learn, so shopping and eating are mot my priority. But Porvoo has both, too. I loved the gentle waters lined with old structures, and the abundant summer wildflowers along the walk. A nice no-hurry outing. There is a lot of cobblestone walking, and hill climbing, so be aware.

Porvoo All-Way Guided Sightseeing Tour from Helsinki

Helen_T, Jul 2026

Quaint place to visit

The meeting point was easy to find. Caesar our guide booked the public bus tickets and it took about an hour to travel to Porvoo. We took a walk around the old town which was very beautiful. We had some free time to look around and then headed back to the bus station. The walk was only minutes to catch the bus. The tour was very good and Porvoo is a beautiful quaint place. A little more time to look around would have been nice.

Archipelago Excursion from Helsinki with Lunch and Transportation

Helen_T, Jul 2026

Peace and quiet at its best with stunning views

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.

A trip not to miss

The meet point was easy to find. Our guide Matti made introductions and from the start the history lesson began. Matti was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and informative. It was a very hot day and he paced us well, stopping to talk in shaded areas for our comfort. The tour took in areas of the city we would not of thought of visiting and we were extremely pleased we did. Definitely would recommend this trip,

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.

Hiking tour in Nuuksio National Park with meal and snacks

Jennifer_P, May 2026

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 and Suomenlinna Sightseeing Tour

Steve_N, Mar 2026

Thumbs up!

There’s a good mix of walking and sightseeing from the van. Dress in layers depending on the weather. We didn’t get a lunch break - too much to see. There were a couple of places I wish we could have stopped but didn’t. Oh well. All in all a very good tour. It was a good use of time with only a couple of days in Helsinki.
