Sunny Day in Helsinki

Edward_C, Jun 2023

Our tour guide took us around the main sites by foot. Helsinki is a pretty small town compared to other cities, so walking is a pretty great way to get around. I loved learning about Finnish history and seeing people going about their daily lives.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for your review! I’m happy that you guys liked the tour and got to know more about Finnish history :)

A must on day 1

This is probably the best tour of a European city that we have ever done! Catherine is fantastic, the tour feels like a stroll, she doesn't rush you and she is super generous in her information, as well as tips and tricks not only for Helsinki but other cities in Finland. I highly recommend it especially on your first day in the city.
