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 had a great time. We met our guide at 10am sharp an wandered the streets of Helsinki for almost 3 hours. Learned a lot about the complicated history of this wonderful city, ate some lovely food and saw some beautiful site. The only down side was that we travelled on a Sunday and a lot of places are closed then.

Stayed at hotel F6. Walkable to everything. Highlights include: Allas sauna; old market; ferry and island suomenlinna; Oodi; cathedral; and many restaurants. Breakfast at F6 is excellent. You can’t lose. We stayed 3 nights. 3 or 4 would be good.

My private tour was wonderful and exactly the type of tour I was seeking. Isabella was a knowledgable and friendly guide who took to a range of places in Helsinki including some well-known places such as the Old Market Hall and Oodi and some off the beaten path. Being May 1st, it was a lively, festive day to go walking and one place Isabella took me to was the Kaivopuisto park where all the locals were gathering to celebrate. This was a lovely experience and I'm so glad I decided to go on this tour!

Isabella knew her way around the city and where to go to get out of the rain for a bit. She took us to many interesting spots and showed us how to get thru the underground tunnels.

For some reason the date we entered was changed and they have NO service at all. Not flexible on refunding, NOTHING!
Pick an agency that's more flexible!

Our 6 hour tour with Georg was outstanding! Georg's narration, in depth knowledge was more than a match for the rainy windy weather! He showed us Helsinki historically, culturally and even taught us how to navigate the public transport: We used the ferry system to the islands the next day and made it back!
Georg has infinite energy and introduced us to the local cuisine, history, architecture, art, the magnificent inclusive library, and explained the unique culture to us.
Our highest recommendations!

Hello, I am a student at the Hogeschool Rotterdam in the Netherlands. From Tuesday, April 21, I will be in Helsinki with a group of other students for a study trip. We would love to do a walking tour through the city, to see the most important sights in the city. Unfortunately our budget is not very large, but we are very curious about the walking tour for 25 euros. We are with 32 people in total, so I was curious if it is possible to do this walking tour with so many people. In addition, I am also curious if you offer group discounts, I would love to hear from you
