Excellent walking tour around the heart of the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us a lot of information and details within 2.5 hrs. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it if you visit Helsinki.

Excellent walking tour by a local guide. He was very knowledgeable and put across the history af Helsinki in a way that was most engaging. A number of indoor stops were appreciated as it was cold. A most enjoyable and educational experience

Fantastic History.Stunning buildings.But hope you dont get our guide.She was very bad.Waited for no one.Even though we were a small group of 10 Many times had no idea where she was. As she would walk off ahead and we had no idea where she was.Just heard her through our ear piece.

Matti was a super tour guide. He provided very knowledgeable insight into the history and culture of Helsinki as well as Finland overall. To keep the group engaged, he included humorous and personal anecdotes. The pace of the tour was just right to see all the highlights. We then used the late afternoon and following day to revisit a few sites. Don’t miss the opportunity to walk with Matti, but be sure to have comfortable shoes and be warmly dressed.

Tour guide was excellent and conveyed the information in a digestible way. He was engaging and made everyone feel welcome. Enough time was spent at each stop so that everyone could understand the history or significance without getting bored. Would highly recommend.

Matti is a great tour guide with a contagious positive attitude! Good balance between history, general information and very useful tips!

Matti was excellent. He provided a wealth of historic information with humor and panache. He kept the group involved and moving. Don't miss the opportunity to walk with him.
