Marte was very enthusiastic about his country and gave great insight to living in Finland and Helsinki. Great walking tour with stops for photos and rest along the route while he gave talking points. He also gave recommendations for restaurants and other sites to see while in Helsinki. Wonderful tour and you get a good 2.5 hour tour of the most important sites.

Very nice walk around Helsinki. Our guide was not Finnish, but gave us a good picture of what the Finnish people enjoy in their everyday life (Saunas!). Wonderful city with an interesting history.
Sally_E, Jun 2026
Tatiana did a great job of explaining the history of Finland with clarity and humor. She also helped explain the character of the Finns with amusing stories.
She traced the history from ancient to modern, ending the tour in the impressive new National Library. This tour was an excellent introduction to Finland and orientation to Helsinki. .

Easy to find tour guide in senate square with blue and white umbrellas. Seamless check in process. Tour was on time and well guided. Very informational. Only wish we could stop for a moment and purchase items when told about wonderful things in Helsinki (for instance at bakery recommendation). Perfect experiences, give it a try!

This is a must do tour in Helsinki! I learnt so much about the history and the culture of Finland in one afternoon. The tour guide was finntastic! She was born in El Salvador and her style was great for a tour. Well done!

You will learn about the basics of Finnish history and culture. The explanations of the different architecture helped us understand how intertwined people and events impact even building styles.

Our guide have some interesting information, and some not so interesting. We felt he could have talked about a wider variety of topics.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Patrick, thanks for your review. You left the tour one hour early to meet your friends, so you missed the rest of the topics. Hope to see you in future on the tour so you can enjoy the full experience.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide, knew his stuff, amusing and considerate about where he stopped because of the rain

The tour is very worthwhile for a good insight into Helsinki. We were only in Helsinki for the day as we sailed from Tallinn and it was a great overview of the city.

Matti was very helpful with answering questions. Very approachable and provided good information. Very knowledgeable. Great intro to Helsinki and Finland
Sarah_P, May 2026
This was a large group walking tour and we were very happy that our guide, Tatiana, wore a microphone to help us hear her narration. She shared a lot of history and actually had a booklet with her to share pictures of various things through the walk. We found her friendly and engaging. She was upbeat and helpful.

Our guide was engaging, informative and entertaining. Nothing was too much trouble. It's an excellent way to get an overview of Helsinki and Finnish history.
Andy_P, May 2026
It truly was a Finntastic tour! Our guide was great (forgive me, he had a Finnish name that I didn’t quite catch), very informative, very warm, and very funny. The balance of history, culture, and recommendations was brilliant and, if you’re spending a week in Helsinki or are there for the day from Tallinn, as we were, this is the perfect introduction to Finland as a country. The guide instantly made the group feel at home- this tour is a must do if you want to learn about Helsinki, and the country of Finland as a whole.
