Helsinki Private Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour)

Glen_M, July 2026

Great tour, a lot of...

Great tour, a lot of interesting history shared about Finland and Helsinki. Very much enjoyed exploring Suomenlinna and learning about the history of the defense of Helsinki and the role of the islands. Glen (our guide) encouraged us to explore and take our time when needed. He kept a good pace and had a wealth of knowledge to share.

Fantastic finntastic tour!!!

Tatiana was a terrific guide! Lots of history and also info about customs/daily life. It was a great way to see a lot of sites and had time to go into several of them, not just seeing them from the street. Suggestions as to places to eat and visit afterwards were offered.

Helsinki and Suomenlinna Sightseeing Tour

Heather_E, July 2026

City high points, history and waterfront scenery all in one trip

We had a great guide, Rachel, who had plenty to tell, and she also was pleased to get questions. The city tour gives a good sense of where you might want to return for a closer look. The Sibelius monument is wonderful, and we had enough time to enjoy it and take some pics. We were able to stroll the market, get some lunch (delicious salmon soup is available), and have a nice scenic ferry ride over to Suomenlinna. There is a lot of walking and hills there, so be aware. The weather changes quickly, so having an umbrella or light rain gear is recommended.

Porvoo Old Town & Riverside Heritage Guided Tour from Helsinki

Heather_E, July 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.

From Helsinki: Moose & Wildlife Safari with Campfire Dinner

Nicola_P, July 2026

A great introduction to outdoor activities in Finland.

A great introduction to outdoor activities available in Finland. The experience was exactly as described - our informative guide Peter met us as arranged, drove us through farmland and forest, prepared a campfire dinner of traditional Finnish picnic food by a lake with visiting deer and overnight campers, and then drove us to encounter some European moose. First a large male in a field was watched at a safe distance, later a female surprised us all by coming very close to the van on the other side of a hedge. Everyone returned with good photos of moose and deer.

Day trip from Helsinki to Tallinn. Ferry included

Sharjeel_A, July 2026

The perfect way to experience Tallinn in a day

This tour was an excellent introduction to Tallinn, Estonia, and one of the highlights of my trip to Finland. The ferry ride from Helsinki was comfortable and efficient, making it remarkably easy to visit another country for the day. Once in Tallinn, our guide brought the city’s fascinating history to life as we explored its beautifully preserved UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town. Walking through the cobblestone streets felt like stepping back into the Middle Ages, surrounded by Gothic churches, medieval merchant houses, ancient city walls, and defensive towers. The guide shared interesting stories about Estonia’s history, the Hanseatic League, and how Tallinn has evolved into the vibrant capital it is today. The itinerary was well paced, with a great balance of guided sightseeing and free time to wander the charming streets, browse local shops, enjoy lunch, and take plenty of photos. Despite being a day trip, I never felt rushed and came away feeling that I had experienced the very best of Tallinn’s historic center. Transportation was seamless from start to finish, and everything was well organized. If you’re visiting Helsinki, I highly recommend taking this tour. It’s an effortless way to experience two Nordic-Baltic capitals in one trip and discover one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities. It was an unforgettable experience that left me wanting to return and spend even more time exploring Estonia.

Porvoo All-Way Guided Sightseeing Tour from Helsinki

Helen_T, July 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.

Roy_C, June 2026

Great tour!

We had an awesome tour with Peter. We went around the city in a very nice, spacious bus, best tour bus we’ve have ridden so far. Peter was very knowledgeable, friendly, very patient, considerate and gave us ample time to take pictures and we were never rushed. We were picked up from the hotel and at the end of the tour, we finished off at market square which is about 8min walk from the hotel.

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

Karthik_R, June 2026

Amazing tour and service

They picked us up from our hotels in limos and dropped us back in limos. The cruise ship was a luxury cruise ship. Our guide was Estonian and spoke fluent English. He picked us up in his car to take us to the old city, spoke about the old city for a good two hours and then dropped us back at the ferry. This is the best experience I've ever had on a tour in terms of all around service.

Helsinki: Nuuksio National park hiking with campfire lunch

Britt_S, May 2026

Everything I hoped it would be!

This hike was everything I hoped it would be. Exploring Nuuksio National Park with Patricia was the perfect way to spend a Sunday outside of Helsinki. We met Patricia at the designated location in the city, she explained to us what was in store, and then she drove us to the park. Once we arrived, she briefed us again about the hike and pointed out points of interest along the way. I was especially impressed by her knowledge of all the plants we saw. Her explanations were thorough, and the campfire lunch was delicious. The hike itself was five miles, and we had a beautiful day for it. If you are thinking about booking this hike, DO IT!

Juho is super knowledgable about Helsinki and Finland. The tour is a great way to get an overview of the city and also learn a lot about it in the process. He was engaged the entire time and kept the facts coming. It was a bit rainy, but there are blankets and the tuktuk flaps can be closed. Prompt pickup and return at the hotel.

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.
