Jonna is such an awesome person and a fantastic guide. Her energy is the perfect vibe and her tour of the city was informative and educational. I will absolutely reach out to her again next time I visit Helsinki!

The was a superb walking tour. I was going to book another tour then I saw this one and read the reviews, all 5 star. I booked it for my wife, me and our two German “ daughters” ( our exchange students from 25 years ago) and her husband. Jonna was an outstanding guide. She was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We did 6 or 7 different tours on our trip and this was one of the best, if not the best. We all would highly recommend it.

We only had four days in Helsinki and wanted to make the most of it, so we decided to do a guided walking tour with top rated Rento Helsinki Tours. It was a beautiful late November day. Super cold but also sunny. Jonna is such a loveable person and managed to hit that sweet spot between telling us about finnish culture and history, the city and little anecdotes. The 2,5 hours also felt like the perfect period of time. They went by quickly but not in a rush, we even had time to warm up with a little hot drink. Also Jonna provided good advice for what we wanted to experience in beautiful Helsinki :) We can highly recommend the walk with Jonna to learn and feel the city/people. This will definitely not be the last time visiting Finland/Helsinki and we will surely book again <3

The tour was excellent. Jonna was very knowledgeable and made sure to cover the topics we wanted to hear about. Nice to hear about things based on personal experience.

A great walk with a great tour guide, Jonni. So good to get to know the center of a city you are visiting for the first time. A little bit of history, a little bit of random things that are good to know and you wouldn´t necessarily think to ask. I´ll be back to Helsinki for sure :)

With my limited time in Helsinki, it was nice to see everything in one concise tour. Jonna was an amazing local guide, the time flew by!

I loved how Jonna asked us to each share something we wanted to learn about Helsinki at the start of the tour. She then paid special attention to these areas of interest throughout the tour.

Tour was great! We did this our first day, which was super helpful in figuring out what we wanted to explore more on our own.

Jonah was so down to earth. She made history relevant and the tour was engaging. She kept it to a small group so we all got to know each other alongside learning about Finland current and past! Highly recommend!
