What are people saying about Helsinki

Todd_M, May 2026

Stop scrolling..sign up…go…have a great time!

Quintas and Jeff were awesome! Personable, professional, and on-time. They went out of their way to engage with everyone, work through any language barriers and anything else needed to ensure all had a great experience. The terrain is not very taxing, the food is tasty, and the sauna is…well, it’s an experience you really shouldn’t miss. We did not have much time in Helsinki and, when asked, they offered other interesting things to do that we would never have known about. Please make the time to do this tour. It is absolutely something you are unlikely to do any other way.

Porvoo tour from Helsinki or Vantaa

Sam_G, May 2026

Fantastic and informative day

Terrific tour for our three-generation trip to Finland! Darius picked us up promptly and his van was roomy (seats 6 passengers comfortably plus room in the trunk for bags). He has a microphone and speaker to make it easy for people in the back to hear him clearly – nice touch, especially for those hard of hearing! The 40-minute trip to Porvoo included his rich history of Finland which provides context for the current Finnish culture, food, religion, and more. This was our third tour, and we learned a lot that was not covered in other tours! Porvoo itself is lovely – a beautiful and typical Finnish town with a rich history. Darius moved comfortably at our pace – 3 generations means we can be very slow on uphills (and there are a few hills here!) – and stops included a coffeehouse with the top-rated Porvoo cake (we also stopped at a second shop for gluten-free goodies), the beautiful and typical church, the standard views of Porvoo, a chocolate/candy shop and more. Highly recommend this tour! Wear good walking shoes (all cobblestones!) and layers for the Finnish weather!

Winter Wonderland Hike in a National Park

Brigita_S, Apr 2026

Beautiful woodland hike!

What a fun outing end of February. Stopped each way about halfway to/from Helsinki for restroom and any snacks. Our guide was fun, lots of good info, yummy lunch, and well worth heading out of Helsinki on this guided forest tour. Even provided spikes to put over boots so less slippery on ice. Brought hiking poles but didn’t need them.

Archipelago Excursion from Helsinki with Lunch and Transportation

BENJAMIN_L, Apr 2026

Archipelago adventure

A brilliant trip out into the natural world to see the archipelago and experience some stunning and remote Finnish wildlife. Jeff looked after us at every step, explaining all the flora and fauna we saw, cooking us dome delicious salmon soup with rye bread, cinnamon roll for afters and blueberry juice and sea buckthorn shots to wash it down with, and giving us some free time to explore. As there were only two of us, we had Jeff's undivided attention and he really made us feel welcome and looked after. We saw many birds, quite a few deer and found some interesting trees and plants too. On our return, Jeff even dropped us right by our hotel. An absolute highlight of our trip.

Paulo!

I did a tour with Paulo in January 2026, and it was an outstanding experience. Paulo was professional, knowledgeable, and above all, genuinely honest. He delivered exactly what was promised and made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. You can tell he takes pride in his work; clear communication, great local insight, and no pressure or gimmicks. Just a solid, well-run tour with a guide you can trust. Highly recommend Paulo to anyone considering this tour. I’d happily book with him again.

Magical Taiga Forest Hike with Lunch and Transportation

Valerie_S, Oct 2025

Great way to spend a day in Finland

This was a wonderful day with Alex. Walking through the woods he pointed out the mushrooms, lichen, and birds around us. He shared information about Finland which is helpful in learning about a country and their culture. He made a delicious Finnish lunch by the lake, salmon and potato soup. The walk back to the vehicle was just as enjoyable-the ground looked like various shades of green carpeting. The nice part is also that the weather cooperated-no rain. No wind either until the end. Perfect day and a wonderful way to spend a day in Finland. Thanks Alex!

Half-Day Nature Adventure to Nuuksio National Park from Helsinki

Patricia_M, Sep 2025

Whooper Swan Sighting

This hike involved bus rides to the national park an hour from Helsinki, and the time was well spent visiting with our guide. The hike was a bit strenuous and involved walking over granite rocks, walking through the restful forest and finally down (fortunately for me) about 300 stairs to our last stop at a 7 meter lake that flows into the Baltic Sea. We were fortunate to see a whooper swan, the national bird of Finland. The hike was worth experiencing, and our guide was knowledgeable about both the flora and fauna of the park, and gave us other interesting information such as the vast number of lakes in the park, and in Finland, thanks to glacier activity during the ice age, only 10,000 or so years ago. He also told us about the bird population in the park and those flying over us on their way to warmer climes. A word of caution, restroom facilities are about halfway through the hike.

Porvoo Old Town & Riverside Heritage Guided Tour from Helsinki

John_K, Sep 2025

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.
