Great first experience

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great free walking tour with our amazing guide Siri. We learned a lot about the city and the country. A perfect first insight!

Siri was great

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a wonderful tour with Siri - she was local and very knowledgeable and interesting. We appreciated her flip book with photos to help her guide… she was a good pace, not too fast or slow, current cultural information as well as historic. Highly recommend - don’t forget to give her a good tip!

Informative Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a very informative Guide and places to stop to get warm. I would definitely recommend this tour and company and would try another tour from them again.

An informative and interesting walking tour.

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Viki was a font of information and provided some snippets of history we were not aware of before undertaking this tour. She had a great sense of humour and we could not have asked for a better guide. The tour itself showed off a lot of the landmarks within Helsinki including some we would not have thought to visit ourselves. The walking distance and time involved was easily manageable and I can highly recommend this tour as a starting point for a visit to Helsinki to explore the city, especially to identify places you might want to spend some time at during subsequent days.

Excellent, fun and informative tour!

Published on Dec, 2024
