Mylien_M, Apr 2026

Great hike and lunch with knowledgeable guide!

The city of Helsinki is just like any big city so I was very happy to see this hike offered. I enjoyed the park and delicious lunch (sausages, squeaky cheese, hand pies) that our guide prepared. We helped chop wood and carry it to the bbq site. Our guide Patrica, was so knowledgeable about the park, wildlife, and local vegetation. 10/10. They thought of everything that we might need to participate. I highly recommend this hike.

Bite-size historical walk!

Only 2 on the tour, which I enjoyed. The historical and art info was easy to understand, thankfully. I also liked having an hour only, plus 4 short walks in between locations. Andres was a very good tour guide and I enjoyed his stories and local recommendations.

Great tour, lots of interesting information about history and lifestyle.

I arrived earlier than my other organized tour, so that I can spend more time in Helsinki and around. I reserved this half-day tour on Viator way in advance. Darius picked me up at hotel on time and I was lucky, I was the only client! Loved the tour of little Porvoo, it is great to go with guide rather than alone, otherwise you won’t know some of the interesting details and stories.

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.

day trip to tallinn from Helsinki

This trip was a full day. Guide met us at the ferry terminal with a car on the tallinn side of the harbor and we did a walking tour of the upper and lower part of the historic old town. Saw the lovely russian church and several nice photo stops. Some lite shopping along the way. Very informative and felt we saw what we needed to see in a short amount of time. We have free time later in the day for lunch and more touring or shopping on our own. If you have limited time in Tallinn, this is a good way to see a good bit of it. Driver met us and took us back to port afterward. Was a small group (5 of us total). would recommend this for a great day trip.
