Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Anna was exceptionally knowledgeable. She obviously loves her city and was anxious to share everything. We very much enjoyed her tour and learned an amazing amount about this beautiful city. "
"Our group of 6 cruisers met Tommy for Highlight of Helsinki 3 Hour City Tour and were so glad we did. Tommy tailored our tour to start and finish at places convenient to us and to make for an easy walk back to our ship shuttle bus. We visited so many interesting places but the highlight was the library of all places - what a world class facility. Tommy was full of plenty of interesting facts all expressed with good humour and knowledge. He kept a pace that was comfortable for everyone. Absolutely recommend."
"We visited with Anna all what you have to see in Helsinki. She has a wide knowledge about the Hotspots in Helsinki and also very good informations about people, policy, history and news about Finnland and Helsinki. She was so friendly and we had a lot of fun with her. Thank you so much Anna for 2 trips with you. All the best "
"Anna is the best! We truly enjoyed our 5 hour tour of Helsinki. We had very limited time to see the city and Anna did an amazing job not just showing us the highlights of Helsinki,but also a great deal of history and culture. She is very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and caring, making sure we were comfortable at all times. I would highly recommend Anna for your tours of Helsinki, she is awesome!"
"I had one full day to tour Helsinki. Anna met me at my hotel and the adventure began. The day started with an in-depth, fascinating explanation of Helsinki's development and history. Then a walking tour to some iconic landmarks that took us along the waterfront to downtown. Anna was accommodating, friendly, and well versed in the culture and history of the city. She made some requested detours that allowed me prime shopping experiences and a real feel for Helsinki culture. By the end of the day, I felt like I had made a friend. Her enthusiasm for and knowledge of the city contributed to a truly wonderful day! "
"Tommy was very informative and fun! He took us to so many interesting places! We loved learning the history of Helsinki! He made the tour very fun for us!! "
"We loved out tour of Helsinki with Tommy! We took a ferry from Tallinn and met Tommy at the cruise terminal. He showed us how to ride public transportation as we toured the highlights of Helsinki. Not only is he knowledgeable and professional in his guiding, but also offers personanl insights into his life in Helsinki. We especially enjoyed that he included the library and showed us all its offerings. It should be a model for all modern libraries! We would highly recommend this tour and Tommy!"
"Timo was a terrific guide. His knowledge of Helsinki was amazing. We had a combination walking/driving tour, which was perfect. "
"Tommi presents Helsinki both historically and culturally in grand fashion. His voluminous knowledge of the history of Helsinki and Finland really shines through. We let him determine the tour and were treated to an array of historical and cultural experiences. I can’t recommend Tommi enough for a small group walking tour. "
