Amazing tour with a wonderful guide Vicki - Highly recommend this tour- worth a large tip especially if you are lucky to have Viki as your guide. We enjoy tours that balance history with humour and modern day relevance and this had it all. Would recommend you do this tour in day one of your stay in Helsinki !

Every one should do it - Ruslan was amazing. Taking us to interesting places and telling all backgrounds stories. His tempo was good. Not too long staying and telling long stories. We saw iconic buildings and also he told about Finish culture and gave us great advices where to go , to see and to eat. We loved it

Excellent informative tour of both historical and present day Finland told in a clear and at times amusing manner! - Excellent tour with very good guide. Very informative but not so much you can’t take it all in , some amusing stories as well as historical. She covered so much about life in Finland too now , the winters , food, culture etc. I would highly recommend

Excellent Overview of Helsinki - A lovely, leisurely tour of Helsinki highlights. The guide provided interesting historical information and even had visual aids to enrich the tour. We wandered through old and new parts of the city, and saw different sights of historical, religious, cultural, and artistic import.

Great tour of Helsinki - The tour guide was very knowledgeable of Helsinki. He told us some funny stories. We would highly recommend as it was also wheelchair accessible although the cobbled streets were very bumpy

Affordable and Enjoyable Tour - Such a great way to see the city! We enjoyed the smaller group size and sharing travel experiences with each other. The meeting place was easy to find. Our guide, Jola, was there early to greet all the members. She was friendly, courteous, professional and full of sooooo much Helsinki information. Despite the rainy weather, the tour group didn't miss out on any sites. Be sure to wear good walking shoes, pack an umbrella/rain gear and a TIP!

Interesting history of Finland. - A really informative tour and worthwhile doing but, I didn’t like that the guide began the tour by saying that tips were necessary either in cash or by card. Obviously I was going to tip but this really put me off!

Dont waste your time. - I did not enjoy the tour that I took with Juoko. The tour was very low quality, with very little facts and details. 2 other people left part way through, I left shortly after. The narration was off, the details just weren't there. I would recommend taking a tour with a more well established company.
