Pickup details
We pick up from all cruise ports of Helsinki and hotels, located in the city center. If you're coming by a cruise ship, the meeting point is located outside the main port gate. If you're staying at a hotel, your guide will meet you there holding a sign with your name on it and/or the logo of ULKO Tours, so you will be able to easily recognize it.
Itinerary
Select your preferred start time and, after meeting your guide at your Helsinki hotel or Helsinki cruise port, begin your tour in a private vehicle and on foot.
Listen to tales of Helsinki’s history, architecture, and culture, and absorb the vibrant atmosphere of this elegant city. If there’s anything you want to see more of, or if you have specific sightseeing interests, let your guide know and they will do their best to accommodate you.
Stroll around Helsinki’s heart and view must-sees such as Parliament House, Finlandia Hall, City Hall, the Opera House, and Uspenski Cathedral. Hear about each landmark from your guide, gaining a fascinating overview of the city, and the events that have shaped its fortunes.
Visit the Temppeliaukio Church (Rock Church), completed in 1969. Head inside to view the circular design and copper wire roof, and learn how this underground church was hollowed out from granite.
Visit Market Square, where harborside food and handicrafts stalls bustle with shoppers, and then finish your tour with a hotel or port drop-off.
Alternatively stay on at Market Square's stalls on your own, picking up souvenirs before returning independently to the port or your hotel by cab or tram (own expense) or on foot.

We had a comfortable drive in a BMW with an excellent driver and wonderful guide, who was born in Brazil, lived in the US, and had lived in Finland for around 20 years. She was extremely personable and knowledgeable and we were most impressed with touring the Public Library and the Rock Church

Our 3.5 hour private tour of Helsinki was excellent !!! The tour guide was very informative and was also able to adjust our schedule to fit in a stop at the Hard Rock Cafe. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Helsinki.

Stanislav was the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide I've met. He took me to parts of the old city that most other tourists wouldnt explore and was a fountain of knowledge. Absolutely the best. I enjoyed this trip immensely and will credit him when people thank me for their lovely gifts!
