Enjoyed large bus used for our small group around sites of Helsinki. Christina, our tour guide, was organized and knew the history. Ferry to Suomenlinna was worth the trip and we enjoyed hearing the background history of the island.

I read some of the negative comments from past visitors, and I wanted to give it a try anyway. However, disappointing. The tour guide was very friendly, and it's clear that he is a nice person. Still, from the professional side (that I must mention because the tour is not cheap and there is a reason why we paid for it), I could also tell there were several gaps and a lack of knowledge about the places we visited, such as essential dates and almost no explanation about the sites. I was literally on my phone, googling what he did not know, which was nearly the entire tour. The guide almost forgot one of the group members when we were moving towards Suomenlinna, not being aware of the group he was managing, despite it being a small group of 8 people. I feel sorry, but the company MUST make improvements in providing knowledge and information to their guides first. They will likely fail hard otherwise in the future.

Harry was a well informed hospitable guide that catered to everyone in our group. It was great learning about the Finnish history and culture and seeing the beautiful sites of Helsinki. Thanks Harry!

I booked my aunt on this tour and she was very happy to share to me that she had a great time. My aunt was picked up from the hotel since she was travelling solo and still don't know much about the city. The tour was very informative and they went through all the places as listed in the description. Would definitely recommend to those who have a short stay in Helsinki

Very, very poor time management by the guide (Czar). He literally left ZERO time for lunch or even to grab a snack or bathroom break. We were immediately put on a ferry after our long walk after being promised time for lunch. The second tour guide then ignored the fact we missed lunch and did another 2 hours of walking with no break. Huge waste of money and did not learn much. STAY AWAY.

This tour was a perfect introduction to Helsinki. It was well organized, informative, and enjoyable. Whether you’re short on time or just want to get your bearings before exploring further, it’s an excellent choice.

We had a wonderful experience learning about Helsinki and the history of Finland. Our guide, Francisco, was very knowledgeable and very accommodating.

The local office was super communicative. There was a chance our tour may be modified because of only three people signing up. Rodriguez was a great guide.

I thought the tour guide was very good. Helsinki is a beautiful city and we very much enjoyed the tour. It was about 5 hours long.
