Exactly as advertised. Knowledgeable guide, excellent introducion to Helsinki and Finland - and stops that weren't those one would stumble across alone. Highly recommend!
Amy_Z, Apr 2026
Our guide was so friendly and engaging. 10/10 would recommend! I have done many tours in the past but this one felt effortless and fun!
Brigita_S, Apr 2026
We did this walking tour end of February when weather was still chilly. But lots of good info about Helsinki and Finland. Definitely worth it!
Jonina_K, Apr 2026
Very informative, especially about Finnish history and culture, and Matti is a lovely guy to talk to and a fantastic guide. This is mandatory for anyone who's traveling to Helsinki or even just Finland. The country and city are worth this tour alone.
Paul_H, Mar 2026
Excellent narrator and guide, with Finland's relationship with its neighbours carefully woven through the entire tour, so that you come away with some great information but aren't overloaded.
Janette_O, Mar 2026
Quite an enjoyable 2 hours of Helsinski City Centre in a nutshell tour. If you only have a short time in the city, I'd recommend you to join this walking tour. The guide gives a good overview of the city and a little history lesson of Finland in a fun, enjoyable way.
Stephen_S, Mar 2026

Ola_T, Mar 2026
This walking tour in Helsinki was underrated and an amazing value. I would honestly have been willing to pay more for the experience.
The guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and shared interesting facts and insights throughout the tour. It was engaging, informative, and well-paced.
I would highly recommend this tour!

Very interesting and informative. Marti the guide was super knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic.
Laura_M, Mar 2026
Great way to learn about Finland and see key places in Helsinki. This tour was one of the least expensive out there yet felt it didn’t skimp on details. We had 18 in our group and our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The tour covered a good area at a comfortable pace.
Aquino_C, Mar 2026
The guide was easy to find with the blue and white striped umbrella! Walking tour is mostly outside with some stops inside to warm up. Easy walking, minimal steps. Also easy to hear and understand in English as guide had a microphone headset. Learn about Finnish history and culture and see important sites along the way -with a lot of humor too! Excellent intro to Helsinki and Finland. Highly recommend!
Cynthia_W, Mar 2026
A great first day introduction to Helsinki- history, fun facts, walking inside & outdoors- Matte was wonderful!

Very interesting to learn about the history and culture of the Finnish people from Tatiana who is very knowledgable and she made up fun with some jokes.
tony_r, Feb 2026
Matti, our guide was passionate about Helsinki. He brought facts and fun bites about where we were. It's always a great intro to a city to do a walking tour and this one definitely kicked the holiday off to a great start.

This was a great tour with lots of information and history. Tatiana was the sweetest guide, very patient, and answered everyone’s questions!!
kristina_p, Feb 2026
Matti was both knowledgeable and funny! He sprinkled history with fun and it never felt too rushed or boring. The pace was perfect and I remembered so much of what he said because he was so engaging! He also made sure there were opportunities to go inside and warm up. Best time! Kiitos 💙
Colleen_B, Feb 2026
This was our first time to Finland and I love to do the walking tours right away in a new location so I can get the lay of land and see the “main attractions “. Our tour guide, Matti, was great, he showed us all the important locations like Senate Square and Oodi Library and even gave us a couple restaurant locations. The tour was just the perfect amount of time as well. Definitely money well spent and I would highly recommend this tour!
Jennifer_B, Jan 2026
Lovely! Simple and informative. The guide was easy to understand. He shared good info and facts, without overloading us.

It was super informative and we learnt a lot about Finland - more than expected. He was also quite funny and engaging for the entire experience. Also covered all the top attractions in Helsinki.

Tatiana was our guide and she was lovely. She loves this city and had a plethora of information to share with us. We talked about a little bit of everything and she was very willing to answer all of our questions!
Caroline_A, Dec 2025

Danielle_B, Dec 2025
Good for kids. Very entertaining your guide, Matti. Learned lots of history with good stories and pictures.
JenniferM, Dec 2025
The guide was great. Very knowledgeable and informative. Disappointing it was a big group. Made it hard to hear at times.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your feedback. We are glad you found the guide informative and knowledgable. There were 18 people on the tour you attended, which is not considered big. And all our guides speak with an amplifier. Is it possible you were standing too far?
Arkooliya_S, Dec 2025
Finland is a cold and windy country and need a bit of layers for a walk. But guide kindly let us buy some coffee to warm us up.
Everything was perfect! Knowledgeable guide, lots of very interesting information. Walked us through historical and beautiful spots. The length was just right. The cost was nicely affordable.
