What are people saying about Helsinki

Helsinki and Suomenlinna Day Tour with Ferry Ride

Robert_I, Oct 2026

Helsinki in a day.

Our Guide Rachael was great. We had a small group but her care, knowledge of the city and her positivity throughout the tour was refreshing. We had a little rain - so out came some Ponchos etc. My wife and I were glad we took this tour as our stay in Helsinki was brief so it was wonderful to get a "feel" for the city. I would recommend the tour. It was a little like speed dating for us as we flew out that afternoon but our time with this tour and our guide, ,Rachael was a pleasure.

Aiko_S, Oct 2026

Great walking tour in Helsinki!

Zack was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. She gave us a great introduction to Helsinki and Finland’s history while walking us through the town. I learned so many new and interesting things about Finland that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. This was a great walking tour to get familiar with Helsinki before exploring more on our own. Highly recommended!

A Finntastic Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Michelle_J, Oct 2026

Wonderful walking tour...

Wonderful walking tour with Matti, who spoke flawless English. The tour was well-paced; we covered a number of important sights within two hours. Matti’s dialogue was informative and engaging, both about the sights we saw and life in Finland generally. Highly recommend!

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.

Helsinki & Suomenlinna: City Highlights Tour with Ferry Ride

Holli_R, Sept 2026

Best way to see Suomenlinna Sea Fortress.

This was a great tour, and our guide, Sergio was wonderful. I appreciated his knowledge of the area and interesting insights. Our driver, Pekka, was also very helpful and fun to talk to. We saw a lot of the key sights in Helsinki, the highlight being the trip to the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress. It was historically interesting and so beautiful. Sergio was able to fill us in with the history of the island made the tour well worth it. I definitely recommend this tour as a way to see Helsinki points of interest and to learn a bit about the city and country of Finland as well.

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.

National Park Hike & Finnish Smoke Sauna Experience with Campfire Lunch

Michelle_A, Aug 2026

Great time in the woods, the sauna, and the lake!

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the combination of an easy going hike, lunch prepared for us in the woods, and Finnish sauna/lake jumping, made for a great day! I highly recommend this experience if you want a taste of the flora of Finland, and an authentic sauna. The hike is fairly flat for most of it, with a few small inclines and some roots and rocks here and there. They accommodated my dietary request for lunch as well.

Helsinki and Suomenlinna Sightseeing Tour

Jeff_G, July 2026

An excellent Helsinki Overview!

A nice small group allowed for friendly discussions and a fun, chill and engaging tour guide, Daniela was wonderful! Van was comfy and got on/off several times before the Markets and the Ferry to the Fort. Great guide and story telling about the history of Finland!! Recommend! Thank you!!

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.
