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.

What a great way to see Helsinki. Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, and it seems like we went just about everywhere you'd want to go in the city. There are several stops, allowing you to take in the beauty of Helsinki. I don't regularly cycle, so I was concerned if I could keep up. There was only one very steep hill that I had to walk with the bike, but everything else was fine. It's a remarkably bike-friendly city, so there was no fear of other vehicles on the road. Highly recommended!

This 3-hour bicycle tour exceeded our expectation, It was the highlight of our two weeks we spent in the region. The tour took us not only to some commonly visited tourist sites it also brought us to off-the-beaten-path areas which were very interesting to see and experience. Our guide was interested in customizing our tour to make sure we were happy. His knowledge and eagerness to share with us was extraordinary. I recommend this tour for all ages and it was an easy pedal on new and impressive bikes.

Helsinki Bike Tours gave us a wonderful overview of Helsinki our first day in the city! Appropriately designed and expertly led, we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this tour and we highly recommend it for everyone. The cycling is easy, the route is well-planned and expertly conducted, and the history lessons are terrific! Everything about it was just right!

I can highly recommend this bike tour to all visitors in Helsinki. Tourists and even for locals!! Me and my husband are locals living in Helsinki and we decided to spend our day off monday a little bit differently. Bike tour around our neihbourhoods☺. First of all our guide Riku was just fantastic and friendly. He made sure everyone there were comfortable with the bikes and in general. Also it is nice that the amount of people normally per tour is not so many (less than 10) because then you can really have interesting conversations during the ride. The tour was very well planned with all the told information, coffee stops and sights. The funnest sightseeing tour in Europe I have ever been by far.

We had a group of 5 age ranging from 21 to 77. Our tour leader Jarri was informative and knowledgeable giving us an insight into the architecture, history and culture of Finland and Helsinki. We got off the tourist routes and had a great time and the pace was leisurely and enjoyable with a very pleasant coffee stop.
I would highly recommend this mode of sightseeing and what a great fun and informative guide.

We were 2 people and we wanted to have a tour to have a first impression of the city.
We saw HELtours and we thought that it was a really good idea, besides, they said that with them we would be able to visit some places that are not possible to see from a bus.
Our guide, Riku, was relly nice and was always eager to answer our questions, the riding pace was adequate and the Jopo bikes were really confortable to ride.
In case of rain, they provide a disposable protection.
Definetively, this is a thing that I recomend to do.

Riku and Jari were extraordinarily accommodating. We had stopped in Helsinki for a day while on a cruise and our port time was at the same time of their first tour and we were not sure if taking the second tour would allow us enough time so they opened a new tour departure time an hour after we docked allowing us to spend an incredible afternoon taking in all the great sights in a beautiful city. The bike tour was one of our favorite things we did on our Baltic Cruise. This is a must Do!!! Thanks So Very Much!!!

We were a family of 4 who were in Helsinki for the day. We were cruisers and needed a family fun tour for the day. We met our tour guide who was so friendly and fun to spend the day with. He gave us a 3 hr tour of Helsinki , we toured the parks, the city, the seaside, residential area etc etc. We learned so much but we didn't feel like information was jammed down our throat. It was a feel good tour. The bikes were easy to ride and we had the most wonderful experience with this tour company. I rate this 5 stars. Enjoy Finland on a bike

Although I was the only one who had signed up for the bike tour, my guide Sammi was determined to take me on a rain-free (exceptional!), pokemon-free, hill-free (depends on your definition of hill), tourist-bus-free tour of the city. I had an amazing time, learning how to clean carpets and where to store beer in winter, as well as stories about sibling feuds and abandoned houses, better people and bad bridges. The well-devised scenic route was spiced up with lots of fun facts and crazy hunts for peas by the litre and other local cuisine. I recommend this tour and advise you to keep an eye on pineapples and onions (tip: Russian buildings)!

When we are busy with our explorers, unfortunately we dont always have a change to visit TripAdvisor pages, even we love to read our visitors greetings here.

I see that tours are for ages 14 and up only. Is that due only to the sizes of bikes you have available? Would you be open to giving a tour to a family of 7 (2 seniors, 2 adults, 2 teens, and one 10 year-old) if we brought a bike for the youngest son?

We will be on a cruise ship that stops in Helsinki. The bike tour or bike rental sounds great. Do any of the bikes have hand brakes as opposed to or in addition to pedal brakes?
Thanks for any input!
