About the operator
- Sapien7400Above and beyondIt was wonderful team work of Zoe and Darius making every step of my tour starting from planning, trouble shooting and culminated in wonderful trip of my life .I came with zero knowledge of Helsinki and Finland,left as an expert in Finnish culture and Helsinki.They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and even helping with handling my luggage storage needs . They customized it for my needs and fitting my shedule.I am looking forward to working with them again soon❤️
- I9919JHellad00Great Experience!I had 2 guides for two separate tours in Helsinki and they were both great. My day excursion to Tallin was also great. The tour operator kept me updated with info and pickup times, etc via texting on Whattsapp. Our guide in Tallin was also knowledgeable, we just ran short on time due to his willingness to share many suggestions and continued discussion on suggestions 🙂. I broke away from the group to grab lunch at a place he recommended and enjoyed being able to sit and people watch a little bit. This also left me a few minutes for some shopping.
- 974Sadie00Excellent OverviewThe tour was designed to cover major highlights in four days. The 3 guides who provided structured commentary were excellent. Helsinski Tours arranged everything. They were in contact before my trip and during my time in Helsinki. It was a very pleasant trip.
- H1938FVthomasr00good overvieworganized efficient for general overview of the city Does not include entrance to anything but one should not expect to see all that talin offers in a couple hours The driver drove a few places and quick tour of old city For the limited time got as much as could be expected However you reall need to do this a 2 day(one overnight) trip
- avidtraveler51900Great Helsinki StayI began working with Zoe in February to arrange a 4 night stay in Helsinki including hotel, airport transfers, and a tour each day. Zoe always contacted me within a day of my writing her as we worked together to arrange our plans. Our Helsinki visit was flawless. Easy airport transfers, and the tours with individual guides were great. Two tours were just for my wife and me, while two other tours had 2 other people along. No problems. All the guides were full of information, and several even spent more time with us than was allotted. We felt we really got to know the city, and it was far less confusing than trying to find our own way around since street signs in Swedish and Finnish are complicated to read. We had a wonderful visit and I highly recommend Helsinki Tours. It's a reputable company.
- kittyy58200Loved it!Me, my mom and dad went to this tour. My dad left his jacket in the Allas sea pool and went back after an hour and it was still there. Then he forgot his cellphone in the taxi and the taxi driver personally drove the car back to the hotel to return it. People in Finland is very honest and it’s safe here. We rode the tram, ferry, bus and subway/train everywhere with the transportation pass that the tour gave us. It was a very fun trip indeed. I highly recommend it but research where you want to go first because there’s a lot of free time in your hands. Finland people are very punctual. Try to be on time if you go on this tour but they will come back for you if you were late so don’t worry. Lastly, I won’t recommend riding the train. There’s homeless and mentally ill people in the train but the others are nice and safe. Enjoy!
- 183nabils00Well organised, covered those places in 4 days ontime.Well organized'informative tour guys. Unforgettable experience. Aviator did best 5 days Helsinki tour.
- Flyingboy5800Not much shown.I thought this was a very average tour. It was well run and the guy was nice. But it seemed like he couldn’t fill 4 hours. We spent almost an hour in the library. Which is a pretty standard library. And he explained an ATM which I think everyone knows. It was just kinda nothing. Although like I said, the organization was great.
- JohnP409200Hits the major sitesTerrific tour, the guide Harry was knowledgeable and interesting, he quickly understood what interested me and tailored his narrative accordingly. Saw most of the important Helsinki attractions and learned a lot about Helsinki and Finnish culture and life. Traveled around by foot and tram.
- 880alejandroc00Excellent layover option!Really nice way to get a glimpse of Helsinki in a few hours! Evi, our guide, surprised us by speaking Spanish, si that was an unexpected plus!
- Lisa C00Wonderful half day tour of Poorvo Old TownWhat a fantastic tour. Darius was wonderful he took us to the most beautiful spots in Poorvo Old Town. We had plenty of time to enjoy this gorgeous village and drink in its character.
- 330diyab00Amazing experience on LaplandThere were some very unfortunate circumstances at first. We had to cancel out two activities. But very calm and understanding, she managed a snowmobile tour for us and also provided a complimentary excursion. Always there when we needed and keeping up to date with her customers is what made us feel good. I can’t thank enough for the experience we were able to witness. Thank you Zoe.
- N6937SHscottp00An Excellent Experience in Tallinn!The Tallinn day-long excursion was worth every moment, from the hotel shuttle to and from the ferry, to the excellent guide service in Tallinn. The communication with Zoe at Helsinki Tour was superb and ensured that the entire experience was excellent! Unfortunately - for them - two others had to cancel at the last minute, so it was a solo tour with the guide, Julia, who was very informative and made the history come alive. I highly recommend the trip to anyone interested in Tallinn and Estonia's history and modern day culture.
- espacane00Remarkable experienceWe had the opportunity to learn about the city, the service was nice and Cristina the guide wonderful.
- Bedsyta00Remarkable experienceIt was funny, and we had the opportunity to learn about Tallin its medieval history thanks to Cristina, the guide

Dear Customer,
We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the tour 100% due to the tour schedule that guests need to follow. On our tour, there are around 30-40 mins break for customers to spend time on their time, like taking more photos or having a cafe break. Besides this, we always reserve customers enough time to take photos on-site, we understand this might be not enough for some customers who really like to take lots of photos or a professional photographer who wish to capture the most beautiful photo on the sites. We wish customers can understand this since this is originally a shared group tour.
After investigating with the tour guide, we understand that the tour starts a bit late than the scheduled time. The reason is the guide wishes you to finish the breakfast peacefully and have enough time to change more suitable winter clothes since it is very important to dress up warm in this winter season. During the tour, there wasn't enough time to take a break due to the schedule being a bit behind and the guide wanted to show you all the other attractions when they are still open. Please understand that some of the attractions have their own opening time, the attractions might be closed if we can not reach there on time. The tour guide understands that you love Helsinki and like to take many photos, so the tour was ended 40 mins later than the scheduled time.
We are so sorry that the guide should have communicated more clearly at the beginning of the tour the schedule of the tour instead of letting you feel there is a rush during the tour. In each attraction the guide should communicate more clearly about how long time we are going to spend on the attraction and how much time is for the photo shoot, this will allow customers to have a clear idea of the schedule. Thank you for your feedback, we have taken this feedback to our quality control process.
Have a nice winter!
Best Regards,
Helsinki Tour Team

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry that you experience the inconvenience of the van which used for the tour. We have discussed the vehicle issue to the bus company, they investigated the air-condition worked properly in the car. We encourage customer to tell us during the tour if the cool air is not enough.
We try our best to operate the tours in more eco-friendly way. So we use the bus or car for the attractions which is far from city center, and in city center every attractions are close to each other with walking distance, it is almost more convenience to walk than drive vehicle around. In Suomnelinna, the sightseeing bus is not allowed, so guest will need to walk about 1or a bit more than 1 hour there.
We never consider this tour is a bus tour, it is a half-day city tour that covers most attractions of Helsinki. Thank you for telling us about this, we will contact TripAdvisor and ask them to change tour category of this tour to city tour since now we noticed on TripAdvisor they have marked it as bus tour.
Our guide normally give equally attention to every guests. Hope you can understand that if some guests are more active and ask many questions, it might feel the guide interact more with the active guests. We have discussed with the guide and ask to give a clear picture of the tour before the guiding, so guest will not fell it is aimless.
We really appreciate your review and wish you have a good summer!
Best Regards,
Helsinki Tour Team

I am interested in this day tour in Helsinki. I plan to take a ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki and will arrive at Helsinki ferry terminal at 8:15 am. And I have to take a return ferry to Tallinn, Estonia on the same day at 3:15 pm.
Questions:
- What time will this tour start and what time will it finish ?
- Do you have any pick-up and drop-off at the ferry terminal with Eckero Line ?
Thanks for your response.

My one day tour of Helsinki was set up through "Travel Local" formally "trip.me". It started with me being picked up at the hotel where I was staying at 0900 local time. Based on your departure time you could complete the Helsinki tour, but miss the tour to the island. For complete information I would contact "Travel Local" and se what they could do for me. Their local representative is Tara.

I have questions about arriving via Cruise ship (Azamara) at 9am and where best to meet. I don't know where the cruise port is in relation to the pickup hotels mentioned or if there is enough time to get to them. I wish they had a way to contact the tour providers directly on here.
