Only 2 on the tour, which I enjoyed. The historical and art info was easy to understand, thankfully. I also liked having an hour only, plus 4 short walks in between locations. Andres was a very good tour guide and I enjoyed his stories and local recommendations.

Alberto was very interesting . Learnt lots about Finnish culture and life. A bit light on history for us . No reference to Finland knowingly cooperating militarily with Nazi Germany, this cooperation had moral and political consequences!- they handed over Soviet POWs to the Nazis and the Finnish Jews.
Roberta_F, Jul 2026
There is a fair amount of walking but it is so worth it. We walked all over the city and to the waterfront.

Anastasia was very enthusiastic and had great information. We saw all of the highlights of Helsinki and more. Loved her smile.

FINLAND HAD SO MUCH HIDDEN HISTORY. Our guide was very informative. Small group which made you feel you were on a private tour
MaryEllen_P, Jun 2026

Lovely guide and a good way to get to know more about Helsinki! I appreciated the recommendations from the guide.
Elizabeth_F, Jun 2026
Eero was a great guide! All the information he shared was interesting and helpful to better understand Helsinki and Finland as a whole. He responded very well to questions and kept the group engaged (and we were a big group). Highly recommend!
Alexandra_Z, Jun 2026
This was a fantastic tour. The guide was great and I learned a lot about the city, as well as spots I should work into my itinerary.
Barry_A, May 2026
Great intro to the city give nice detail on all of the key landmarks and history. Very knowledgeable guide.
Robert_H, May 2026
Although we were able to see a lot of places, the tour seemed unorganized and it was frustrating. I couldn’t wait for it to be over.
Response from Host, May 2026
F.a.o. Robert Hanson,
A very unusual review!
The guide said that you told him he enjoyed the tour, this seems very impromptu.
The guides all have a set route, and this particular guide (we saw which specific day and time your booking was for) has done several hundred tours in the last 2 years - each one almost the same; the tours are incredibly organised and structured - with fixed start point, stops, topics, and fixed end point.
I dont really know how to take this feedback to somehow improve - in our opinion the tour is completely structured.
If you happen to read this, please give feedback to a guide next time - instead of saying you enjoyed the tour to them, and then coming to leave a review like this.
What a shame!

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.

Very informative walking tour you get a great sense of the city. Alessandro was a very engaged guide.

Wonderful quick tour of the city! Fabio is a friendly and knowledgable guide and made sure we were staying warm while keeping a good pace! Really enjoyed my experience and would recommend to others. My tour group had a variety of travellers who were great, which made it fun as a solo traveller.

Catherine_B, Jan 2026
Fantastic tour to start your time in Helsinki! It helps to orient you around the city center and get all the highlights in a short walk. Matty was enthusiastic, entertaining, and helpful! I cannot recommend this tour enough!
Pearl_V, Dec 2025
I did this tour twice! Marius and Anastasia were so great! Loved their individual styles of sharing Finland’s history and architecture with us. They were so knowledgeable and didn’t mind anyone asking questions out of curiosity. Anastasia’s attentive and interactive style was lovely while Marius’s sense of humour was refreshing and entertaining.
Loved going back twice with two different guides for two different takes!
Ian_B, Dec 2025
Valeria was very friendly and knowledgeable and showed us the main areas & buildings of interest with added information and history. It gives you an idea of places you might like to visit properly such as inside the cathedrals or library. It was a very large group but for a tip-based tour it gave us a flavour of the city.
Tomy_K, Dec 2025
Valeria was very knowledgable about Finnish history and the Helsinki area. Would of enjoyed the tour more if there was a little leas rain but that is something you cannot control. Overall it was a pleasant experience.
Adrian_E, Dec 2025
Excellent way to see Helsinki. Eereo was an excellent guide, his commentary was very good Oh and a sense of humour. This should be a must for visitors.
Gloria_H, Oct 2025
Very informative guide who offered a fun look through a small portion of this beautiful city, rich in history.
Thomas_R, Oct 2025
So enjoyed our walking tour today. Guide was very friendly, full of interesting info about life in Finland and historical info about its capital. It was relaxed with lots of laughter and questions answered.
David_D, Oct 2025
Brilliant tour that gives a nice orientation of the city. Osmo was a really fun guide, who also had a deep understanding of his country. Recommended for first time visitors+++
SohNgoh_L, Sep 2025
Good to listen to history and background of landscapes. Ergo is knowledgeable and able to give us a good insight of the country.
Daphne_d, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful guided tour of Helsinki, by our guide Valeria. She shared the city’s history and stories in a clear and engaging way, making the tour both interesting and easy to follow. What really stood out was her kindness and enthusiasm, even after the tour she took the time to give me some extra Finnish language tips, which I truly appreciated. Highly recommended!
