An Unforgettable Day in Helsinki with Pia! - We had the best time exploring Helsinki with Pia as our guide! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything we had hoped to — and more. She had the perfect route planned for us and shared so many interesting insights along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Helsinki. And if you’re lucky enough to have Pia as your guide, consider it a bonus — she truly made the experience unforgettable. Thank you, Pia, for everything!

Informative personal tour in Helsinki - The Finntastic tour we had booked cancelled at the last minute so we booked a Lokafy experience and it was a better choice anyway. The Lokafy concept is to be personally shown around by a local, not necessarily a professional guide, and in doing so, we got more of an insight into Finland. Ilari showed us all the main sights we wanted to see and some more. Before we got started, he asked questions about our interests and took the time to understand them - culture, architecture and history. It was a wonderful two hours getting to know a local and being shown around their neighbourhood in a private and personal tour. Thank you Ilari!

Good tour of Helsinki - Jorge, a Portugese transplant, was quite knowlegeable about Finnish history and the local sites. He also accomodated our interests of art and culture by noting specific sites and areas of intetest in those fields.

Interesting. - Susy is a very friendly and willing person. She gave us a lot of data and the route was pleasant. The stick that I put, not to the guide, but to the experience, is that it is a route that with 2 hours you have more than enough.
