See world-famous sights like the Rock Church and Uspenski Cathedral, plus hidden gems such as the Chapel of Silence, on this private walking tour of Helsinki. The Finnish language can be daunting to non-speakers, so avoid the hassle of deciphering street signs by leaving navigation to your guide. A choice of morning or afternoon departure adds flexibility, while a private guide means plenty of personal attention.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We got a very good tour through the city that took around 3h. It was stressless, adapted to our walking rhythm and very enlightening regarding the city history and its main points. We ended the tour with the feeling that there was not much more in the city to see.
Our guide (Katerina) had patience, gave us time to wonder around at the locations we looked more interested at and was always ready to answer our questions.
Big thumbs up to the overall experience.

I booked a private walking tour for four with Happy Guide Helsinki one week prior to coming. Their site was stress free, available for questions and responded quickly.
We had our tour on August 5 with Felippe. He is originally from Chile, his English is perfect, great personality, engaging and is very informative about the past/present of the city. We were together for almost 4 hours. A " Must" if you are in Helsinki!

We just returned from a two week trip to Finland. We didn't have much time to spend in Helsinki and decided to schedule a private walking tour for the afternoon we landed. This was a great idea as it gave us a feel for the city, hit spots we were able to check off our list in order to optimize the rest of our time there and stretched our legs after a long flight. Our guide Felipe was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and music shops. We also appreciated that even before we arrived, Happy Helsinki's email had great information and details regarding how the taxis worked at the airport and other ways to get to our hotel. I highly recommend them!

I did the free walking tour and it was great! The guide was actually from Helsinki itself and could tell us a lot about the culture and also the history. We met I think at 12pm at the big dome on the left platform. The guide hat an elch hat. Would recommend :)

Our group of 8 had Matti for our guide for our walking tour of Helsinki. He did a great job taking us around to all of the "must sees" in Helsinki and telling us about Helsinki's history. Especially enjoyed seeing the train station as its architect was the father of the architect who designed our St. Louis Arch! Our only suggestion was that he make sure everyone in the group could hear what he was saying. Matti was quite personable and interesting!

This was a fantastic experience. There were just 2 of us and the price for three hours was so reasonable. Maria, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and animated. She really made the city come alive and you could tell she is passionate about where she lives. I will definitely choose this company again if I ever find myself in Helsinki in the future. Thank you!

Great way to experience Helsinki. Our tour guide Maria was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had three hours which was perfect as we got all that we need to know but wasn’t information overload.
