A Finntastic Walking Tour in Helsinki

Andy_P, May 2026

The best introduction to Finland and Helsinki!

It truly was a Finntastic tour! Our guide was great (forgive me, he had a Finnish name that I didn’t quite catch), very informative, very warm, and very funny. The balance of history, culture, and recommendations was brilliant and, if you’re spending a week in Helsinki or are there for the day from Tallinn, as we were, this is the perfect introduction to Finland as a country. The guide instantly made the group feel at home- this tour is a must do if you want to learn about Helsinki, and the country of Finland as a whole.

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 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.

Por Voo

Great tour. Sergio was very knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. This tour leaves from Helsinki on a public coach bus which is nice, clean and has a bathroom. The bus fare is included in the tour price. The ride is less than an hour. It rained on us so bring an umbrella as it is mostly outdoors. Lots of little shops with local crafts and trinkets for sale. There is a fair amount of walking with a couple of small hills over cobblestones. Sergio gave us an hour and ten minutes of free time in Por Voo to eat, wander and shop. I went to an Irish pub and talked to some locals.

As well as store with black/white flower items representing the locals. Saw major sites with historical info

Luxury Day Trip to Tallinn with superior cabin VIP guide and lavish buffet

The thing to do if you have only one day in Helsinki

This was the highlight of our week-long trip to Helsinki! Driver picked us up and took us to port. You do need to go to the ticket office when you get there because the tickets you have through the app are for them to get you your tickets. The rooms were a great addition to have. We took pictures on deck and then rested in the cabin the rest of the way. It takes a few hours between ports. Tallin was a beautiful place. It was the real life version of the recreations you see at theme parks. Our tour guide Irina was wonderful and went at our pace for each site. We had the grandparents with us so we went a little more slowly than normal. That said, it is very commercialized spot for the tourists, but it is a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. VERY safe as well. All the police appear to be in plain clothes. We saw a drunk person and officers were on him very quickly and quietly. Removed him with hardly any notice. Trip back was nice and easy as well. Definitely recommend this one if you are in Helsinki and looking to fill a day.

Don’t miss Porvoo!

Wonderful outing to Porvoo. Peter was great in explaining important historical Finnish events and added contemporary cultural tidbits along the way. Picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Loved the quaint town of Porvoo. Peter stayed with us offering explanations about the town’s past. We stopped for the famous Runebergintorttu cake and coffee. We ended the tour with a bit of shopping including a stop at the Porvoo chocolate factory/shop of Brunberg! Peter answered all of our questions and was pleased to share his knowledge.
