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.

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.

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!

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.

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+++

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!

Great tour of Helsinki- very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide - she did a great job combining the history and the modern
Barry_C, Sep 2025
Great guide provided a good insight into both the history and present day Finnish society. Not so many significant buildings as other Scandinavian cities. Quite a lot of walking.
S_M, Sep 2025
Amazing guide Anatasia. So friendly, informative and in excellent English. All delivered with a smile on her face. Can’t rate her and the tour highly enough.
Anafelma_S, Aug 2025
We had a fantastic tour in Helsinki, Our guide covered so much in a short amount of time—key landmarks, history, and local insights. Highly recommend for anyone new to Helsinki short on time!
Lucia_M, Aug 2025
Eero is a great guide, the best. We are 9 colleagues and we enjoy the time walking around the most important monuments and attractions. He explained the history and finnish culture. Top.
Sabine_D, Aug 2025
Interesting background information to get a first impression of the city and its people. History was also part of the deal, but only as much as is necessary.
Very nice guide who made the whole thing a very pleasant experience.
Robert_C, Aug 2025
Osmo was delightfully, informative, considerate if and attentive to all members of our large group. Clear English spoken as he related the history of this remarkable country.

Amanda_U, Aug 2025
Our guide, an 11 year resident originally from Argentina, is clearly passionate about her adopted city and it came across in her tour! Tons of background info on Helsinki, great primer to exploring the city! Highly recommended!
Brenda_C, Aug 2025
Interesting tour with a nice guide. The group size was too big, but it worked okay. We learned about many aspects of life in Finland
Gerry_J, Aug 2025
This tour was absolutely fantastic! The tour guide Valeria from Buenos Aires was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. We had 25 people in our group and some were only in country for 8 hours. I learned so much about Finland from her. I will continue to take these tours in other cities I travel to in the future.
