  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews.

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.

    In common with many other reviews, we really enjoyed our walking tour with Maati. He was enthusiastic and entertaining and provided just the right amount of detail at each attraction, with some really interesting facts.
    A perfect introduction to Helsinki - thank you!

    We were on a tour with Sanna. She did a great job touring us around, despite the rainy and cold weather. She was very knowledgeable on the sites and history of Helsinki, and gave us tips of what else was going on in the city that weekend. A good overview of the city and Suomenlinna! Would have enjoyed learning and doing more, but that would require a full day rather than a 5 hour tour. It went fast!

    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.

    This was the best tour I’ve ever taken - and made Helsinki the highlight of our trip. Phillipe was a terrific guide. His knowledge of the city, and especially of the history of Finland, was amazing - he made the city come alive for us. He was very accommodating, adjusting the tour for the things we most wanted to see, and took us places we wouldn’t have thought to go.

    When he started the tour, he said he was going to take us to the Library. My first thought was “the Library?”. But the library actually was incredible - everyone we’ve told about it wants to go!

    Don’t miss this tour - and ask for Philippe!

    We had a great tour! Great information and was very enjoyable. 10/10 recommend. Suggest for adventurous eaters, or at least one in the group, but there was something for everyone. I hesitated on the roe but definitely enjoyed it! Would not have been able to experience all we did in the almost 3 hours doing this ourselves. We were completely full by the end too! No need to buy any lunch :)

    A good way too see the sights of Helsinki, helps you get your bearings. Just be aware there are two Hop on Hop off buses run in Helsinki so make sure you get the right one, they do share a few stops beside each other.

    Knowledgeable, warm, intelligent guide Lara gave a great variety tour. Our tour was delicious and fun. Lara told us about Finnish culture and shared cool locations in the city.
    Before the tour, I had never tried smoked deer meat, it was unexpectedly delicious. The end of our tour was a beautiful view from the bar, where we continued to enjoy the city, drinks, and food. I am happy to recommend this tour with Lara!

    A lovely ride and the educational audio was super useful. As many have already said, the time allocated to visit the Rock Church is not enough for you to actually walk there and buy a ticket. Please listen to feedback and amend your itinerary. You can easily make the tour 2 hours instead of one hour 45 minutes so that people can actually visit a place and get some value
    Otherwise it’s quite a nice quick way to sight see from the bus

    We just had one day in Helsinki before heading north. We wanted to make the best use of our time and we did with Olga as our guide. And some of our group had physical limitations so we didn’t want to walk for miles on the cobblestones. If you have more time and don’t mind wandering around, you can see the city on your own, but a guided tour is very efficient and it met our needs.

    DO NOT BOOK this tour!! It is extremely overpriced! 305 Euros for myself, my husband, and my 8 year old. It was not even 2 hours and we only visited 3 places. As per the inclusions on the description we were to try different sausages and we were also supposed to be treated to champagne - neither of these happened. Instead we drank Prosecco - not a terrible alternative, but much cheaper than the champagne served at the restaurant. We never tried any sausage at all. We did try raw and smoked salmon and shrimp toast. My eight year old daughter does not eat fish, and there were no other alternatives offered. At the Kappelli restaurant, instead of a shrimp toast, I asked if instead she could have a croissant and this appeared to cause confusion with our tour guide who said the he ‘had to order shrimp toasts for everyone in our party according to the agreement with the company and the restaurant ‘. Finally after some lengthy dialogue, he ‘agreed’ to let her have a croissant. Our tour guide did not enlighten us with much Finland history (food history included), there was some, but not much....again considering the cost. He did cover a lengthy description of Finland’s recycling process...... He was a nice guy, but he should find another part-time gig (I’m sure this is not his full time job). Bottom line- I wish that I had my 300 Euro’s back. For a mere 30 Euro’s we could have all had something great to eat at the Old Market with some money left over for some chocolate or an ice cream.”
