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.

    Brilliant way to see round Helsinki. Tour guide was very informative and funny. He not only told us about the buildings he also told us about history and the modern day Finish lifestyle which you would not know just walking around by yourself

    This was my first visit to Helsinki and as usual I look for a city and food tour that will give me the lay of the land. This wonderful tour gave me both Lara as she asked me to call her was an exceptional tour guide. She had an exceptional knowledge of the history of Helsinki and Finland, the high points and key places to visit and as well and exceptional knowledge of the cuisine of the city and the country. she was a wonderful and friendly person who was concerned not only for doing a great job but also in care of her attendees. I will definitely recommend this tour to others and when I return to Helsinki, I will definitely take it again.

    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.

    Recently, my family and I went on a sightseeing tour of Helsinki and the medieval town of Porvoo, and it was an unforgettable journey! Our guide was simply magnificent – not only did he know all the historical facts and interesting stories perfectly, but he also delivered them with such enthusiasm and charisma that we were all captivated.

    The car we traveled in was very comfortable, making the trip even more enjoyable. In the car, we found bottles of water and various snacks, which were very welcome after our walks through the beautiful streets of Helsinki and the cozy lanes of Porvoo.

    The tour was perfectly organized, the itinerary well thought out, and we managed to see all the key places and landmarks. In Porvoo, we immersed ourselves in a medieval atmosphere, enjoying stunning views and unique architecture.

    Overall, this tour left us with the most positive impressions, and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see and feel the true charm of Finland.

    Discover Turku's charm on a 6-hour tour of landmarks and stories. Begin at a majestic cathedral, meander through the historic Great Old Square, and uncover local treasures. Marvel at the Turku City Library, soak in the ambiance of the Market Square, and explore the ancient Market Hall. Conclude at the scenic Riverboats, immersing in centuries of history and culture. Turku, Finland's oldest city, offers a captivating blend of medieval and modern.

    Really enjoyed our tour guided by a non Finnish lady Inhoa who gave us a great insight to the Finns, their habits, the history and so many interesting buildings. She really knew her stuff and made it enjoyable. Kept us out of the drizzle and strong winds where she could. Definitely worth doing thank you

    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.

    We had a great day with Sergei inTallinn! The company provided clear instructions and made getting on the ferry easy and Sergei was there to greet us as we arrived in Tallinn. He spent the majority of the day driving us from site to site and was incredibly knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. He walked us around Old Town and then gave us a little time on our own to eat and circle back to things we wanted to see more closely. Again, it was incredibly easy to get the ferry back to Helsinki.

    My husband mistakenly left his cell phone in a cafe and I cannot say enough good things about how hard this company worked to help us get it back- even across the Gulf of Finland! I would 100% recommend this your for an enjoyable and informative day trip to Tallinn.

    We had a great tour with Paolo. He showed us around Helsinki and Porvoo and was very knowledgable and personable. He knew a lot of facts and history, but also shared the "normal life" experience information that we find fascinating about different countries and cultures. Highly recommend this tour!

    Great host. Good fun. Not averse to being teased 😁
    Not strenuous.
    Interesting sauna at the Olympic stadium. Very hot but can cool off in the outside swim pool.
