A great choice - This guided walk was great, we arrived in Helsinki the day before and our guide informed us of places we needed to go back to. She had a great sense of humour and heaps of knowledge.

Great for Helsinki overview - My guide was very transparent in sharing about "real" Helsinki. Other family members had a different guide who presented a sterilized version of the city that didn't seem authentic. So much is dependent on the guide with these tours.

Great way to get your bearings in Helsinki - Excellent way to get your bearings in Helsinki. Knowledgeable and engaging guide, Bianca was excellent and shared her insights with the group. We did the 0945 tour and it was great, not too long and at a good pace for everyone. Well worth it, highly recommend..

A great way to spend a rainy morning in Helsinki! - We had a wonderful tour with Marco. It was a rainy morning but this tour was extremely enjoyable and we hardly noticed the rain! Marco was full of information and made the tour a lot of fun.

Learned so much about Helsinki! - This was one of the best tours I have been on. Anna (sorry if that’s not how you spell it) the guide, had so many interesting stories and fun facts about Helsinki to share with us, which made the tour even more memorable. Definitely recommend if you’re in Helsinki and want to learn more about the city!

Recommended - The guides are professional and explain the sights in order, using the handmade materials they have. I have a red umbrella, so it's easy to see where the guide is. The next day, I saw the inside. I realized that it was a very efficient way forward.

Good, but walked too fast - It was a very good walk in terms of giving us a good overview of items of history and meaning in Helsinki. I felt that the tour guide went a little too fast for us.
