Highly recommend touring Helsinki with Jens - Jens met us with a warm smile on a snowy morning and took us on an amazing loop around Helsinki. He was knowledgeable and made the hours fly by. We learned so much about the history and architecture of Finland. He offered ideas for us to see other sites and steered us to a great place for lunch. Jens also gave us some insight into the town’s culture. Everyone stayed engaged in the tour it was great!

Great tour with fantastic guide - I did this tour when I had a 12 hour layover at Helsinki. A rainy day but Victoria gave me a wonderful experience with her knowledge of history and special places to visit. I always try to go on a walking tour whenever I visit a city and Victoria is one of the best guides I have had. She turned a wet day into a very memorable experience.

It was ok - The walking tour was ok. Our guide Victoria was friendly and very knowledgeable as she provided a lot of history in detail. However, it was a bit too much history and detail. It is very easy to lose attention while leaving no time to really soak in the site and take it in. I would suggest keeping history to a minimum and allowing people a few minutes to explore the site and take a few pictures. If someone is interested in more history, they can do so during this time. The walking tour could have been planned better.
