What are people saying about Helsinki

Patrick_W, Sept 2026

Great tour! Tour guide was terrific!

Helsinki was the first stop on our Nordic/Scandinavian adventure. Our tour guide was engaging, funny and very knowledgeable and gave us an amazing walking tour of Helsinki’s major sites. He also gave us a few recommendations for some food choices, which were fantastic suggestions because we visited them after the tour was over. Highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed.

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

Patrick_W, Sept 2026

Fantastic experience in Tallin!

This was an excellent tour and we had an incredible day traveling from Helsinki to Tallin. The old town is an amazing place to visit. We had a fantastic tour guide who took us from the upper town to the lower town and provided a lot of interesting facts about all of the places we visited. We also had about three hours of exploration time on our own, which was great. The whole process was very seamless from pick up at our hotel, ferry drop off and return to the hotel in the evening. Couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Overall, just a wonderful tour with a fantastic tour guide.

Such a wonderful...

Such a wonderful experience! The entire process was seamless and so well organized. I especially appreciated that the tour operator even arranged an Uber to pick me up and take me to the meeting point—such a thoughtful touch! A big thank you to Lukas for being a fantastic guide and for showing me around Finland and Sumerian. Despite the weather, he kept things fun, engaging, and enjoyable throughout. Highly recommend this tour!

Archipelago Excursion from Helsinki with Lunch and Transportation

Natalie_L, Sept 2026

This was soooo fun! We...

This was soooo fun! We were only in Helsinki for four days but we really wanted to get out into nature but with guidance and had no interest in traveling with a large group. Our tour guide Lydia was lovely. There were five of us in the tour total. We drove to an amazing location, the hike was not hard but not easy if you cannot navigate uneven ground. The lunch was spectacular and the views were stunning. I would do it again and highly recommend as a way to also learn a bit more of Finland’s history.

Helsinki Authentic Walking Food Tour with 8 Local Tastings

James_B, Aug 2026

Always a treat for your mind and taste buds.

Always a treat doing the food experiences as I travel to European cities, if they are offered. Not only learning about food, you get other bits thrown in, such as local history, modern lifestyle, city architecture, etc. I get more reinforced information I hear from other tours and travelers in random conversations brought up on food tours. For this one in Helsinki, pepparkoker cookies started off the afternoon followed by grazing on reindeer and moose sausage, local beer sampling, salmon and whitefish, the Finnish classics of longeda and salmon soup and the finale of apple pie with ice cream.

William_E, Aug 2026

Great Walking Tour of Helsinki with a great Tour Guide!

This is a GREAT tour - we saw the whole city, learned a lot and it was a great walk! But it all starts with the tour guide and he was the BEST! Our tour guide was EERO - and he was personable, FULL of wisdom and history of Helsinki. This tour was very informative - we visited most of what was listed on the tour schedule and saw a few stops that were not. But this certainly was a great tour - and a lot of this is because of our guide - EERO! Well worth the price of admission - this is a very affordable tour!

Helsinki and Suomenlinna Day Tour with Ferry Ride

Jenny_H, July 2026

Helsinki in a day

Ed our guide was brilliant. He took us to places we would not have even thought of including the Oodie library which was such an eye opener and what all libraries should be. Helsinki is a lovely city with friendly and obliging people. Our tour included the sea fortress of Suomenlinna with a long history and well worth a visit.

Day trip from Helsinki to Tallinn. Ferry included

Akshay_K, July 2026

Good day trip to see a beautiful old town!

The ferry is a very unique experience if you haven't been on a huge cruise liner before, but it gets boring after a while so bring something to keep you occupied for the entire duration (5h to and fro). Once we were in Tallinn, our guide Sergei was extremely knowledgeable, jovial and in general, made the 2 hour walking tour a very enjoyable and engaging experience. We had free time from 2:30 PM to 4:55 PM. If you are quick to have lunch and get some souvenirs, you will still have over an hour available which you will need to kill some way. Be prepared.

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.
