Great city and fortress tour - Very nice tour of the city, which starts with a mini-bus with a small group (8-9 people), in the most famous sites (Olympic Stadium, Sibellius Park, Lutheran Church of Helsinki, Orthodox Church...), then the rest of the tour is on foot: lunch break at the old market, ferry crossing to Suomenlinna and outdoor walking tour of the different sites of the fortress.
Guide Sanna was charming and shared a lot of facts about Finnish history and life in Finland.
Very interesting!

A good tour - avoid Mondays if you want to go in the cathedrals. - A great way to see the highlights of Helsinki. Be warned the cathedrals are closed on Mondays so if you book on this day you won't be able to go in.
Would recommend the fortress, it was amazing and fantastic views.

A Great Tour - This was a great tour Harry and the driver met me at my hotel, and they were very excited to start the tour. They were both very knowledgeable about the city and enjoyed telling stories about the places that we visited. I enjoyed stopping by the Olympic stadium, as well as the beautiful art sculpture. We then went on a ferry ride over to the fortress. The fortress wasn’t exactly what I anticipated, but that was probably because it was very slippery and wasn’t as easy to get around. Harry was knowledgeable about the surroundings. My only complaint would be that Harry walked kind of fast so by time everybody caught up with him we missed some of the information or stories he was telling about the site. overall, this was a very interesting tour and I bet it’s amazing during the summertime.
