A great tour - A wonderful walk and food tour of the city. Larisa ( Lara ) was a great guide and easy to talk to. A great way to learn a bit about the culture.

We enjoyed walking around... - We enjoyed walking around the city, visiting multiple places, and tasting different local foods. Our guide was very friendly. Worth knowing is that she was unaware of the food restrictions that we entered for the booking!

Well worth it if you have an adventurous palate at all!!! - This tour is incredible!! Our guide, Larisa, was so knowledgeable and kind! She answered all our questions and told me how to get to non-food related ships I was interested in. The food was incredible! We ate reindeer meat, bear, licorice, lingonberry juice, blueberry gelato, chocolates from the largest bakery and chocolatier in Finland and well as small batch chocolates from an amazing chocolate shop! I think I missed listing some of the incredible experiences we had plus you end at a rooftop bar that had amazing views of the city! FYI the bar has inside and outside options. The tour had the perfect bites of food and the walking made it possible to consume all of the offerings! I would do this again in a heartbeat!!! Worth every penny! !!

Delicious Salmon and Herring and Cloudberry Jam - Lara was a great guide. We got to taste food we would not have tried without her prompting. I especially enjoyed the herring and the rice pudding cake, my wife the salmon with rye bread and hand made chocolates. We also got to see parts of Helsinki we had not yet visited and got recommendations on the best place for Salmon soup.

Beverley minster roof top tour UK - The guides we had this morning - Sat 22nd March were patient and friendly and the guide giving the talk was so knowledgeable about the history of the minster and the different styles of architecture between the different parts. The climb be it up a narrow spiral stone staircase of over 100 steps was worth it to see the indoor roof space and the amazing internal roof structure as well as the views through the wheel windows. Many features were pointed out including the etchings in the glass which I'm sure we would not have noticed if they had not been pointed out. The guides were patient and always emphasised to go at our own pace and said to pause if necessary both going up and going down. This certainly eased my feelings of worry about holding up other tour visitors. Thank you David and Cristiano.

A great food tour with excellent food and great guide - We had a great tour with Larisa (Lara). There was our group of 4 plus another couple. We went to a number of venues and got to taste a range of interesting and high quality things. We tried a number of things that we would not otherwise have tried. (I won’t spoil the surprise by saying what they were. ) Larisa was a great guide and told us a lot about the food as well as an overview of Finnish history. Considering the foods that we got to try, we thought that the tour was good value.

Good introduction to Helsinki at a price - Lara was an excellent guide. We spent an interesting morning in Helsinki and had some excellent tastings. I've rated 4 star rather than 5 as I felt the tour was expensive for what it was. Having been warned we would find Helsinki expensive other than this your we didn't find it to be so. We had excellent tastings but I still feel it was overpriced. Other than that an enjoyable tour
