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.

    Excellent guide - helped by the fact that there were only four of us in the Group. This allowed time to ask specific questions which were answered very well. Tallinn was a beautiful city and the Christmas market magical.

    We were a group of 10 adults. Our guide was wonderful- he was kind and thoughtful. He shared lots of interesting information as he showed us many sights along the way. We had a wonderful driver who provided transportation in a very nice, clean van. this was a great tour!

    Fabulous hike through the woods! The walk is pretty easy going and the terrain quite flat (depending on how much snow I suppose) and the guides were extremely knowledgable, friendly and helpful.

    The little camp that you arrive at to have lunch is beautiful as it is set by a frozen lake. Also it is worth mentioning that there are non-flushing toilets at the comp (as hadn’t noticed many other reviews pointing this out and I had wondered this myself!).

    Overall a great experience to see a bit more of Finland and would recommend to everyone staying in Helsinki :)

    Thanks guys!

    Tatiana, our guide, was wonderful! She did an excellent job showing us around Porvoo. Although it’s not peak season anymore and most shops were closed. We loved the Autumn colors and privacy.

    This tour is a must! The hike was spectacular, with amazing views and Jeff is very knowledgeable which made it also educational. The Finnish sauna is definitely worth doing and whilst the Lake was pretty cold in October you still have to give it a go. The food Jeff cooked on the hike was also great and quite filling. This was a great day out and I'd definitely recommend it. If we come back to Helsinki we'll be doing it again.

    Great hike that showcased some beautiful nature - we even got lucky that it snowed. This guided hike was much easier that trying to navigate ourselves.

    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.

    We joined the guided tour through Nuuksio National Park and enjoyed a pleasant autumn hike through the forest. Our guide Szabi was very knowledgeable and not only introduced us to to the Finnish taiga forest, showing us edible berries, mushrooms and how to make a fire without matches/lighter but also told us about the Finnish way of life and the history of the country. On top, we received some really nice shots that will definitely make it into our vacation album :) Thanks a lot to Wild Frame Adventures!

    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.

    It was a great experience and very well put together. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but was not great at deviating from what she wanted to show and discuss. Our group however wanted to deviate from the script.

    This was a very enjoyable tour where we walked, used the tram and a bus to see the famous sights in Helsinki city centre. We we were very lucky with the weather and also we were the only ones on the tour . As a result we were able to ask as many questions as we wanted. Well worth the money and a great way to get around
