    Great Experience!
    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.

    Excellent Overview
    The tour was designed to cover major highlights in four days. The 3 guides who provided structured commentary were excellent. Helsinski Tours arranged everything. They were in contact before my trip and during my time in Helsinki. It was a very pleasant trip.

    Great Helsinki Stay
    I began working with Zoe in February to arrange a 4 night stay in Helsinki including hotel, airport transfers, and a tour each day. Zoe always contacted me within a day of my writing her as we worked together to arrange our plans. Our Helsinki visit was flawless. Easy airport transfers, and the tours with individual guides were great. Two tours were just for my wife and me, while two other tours had 2 other people along. No problems. All the guides were full of information, and several even spent more time with us than was allotted. We felt we really got to know the city, and it was far less confusing than trying to find our own way around since street signs in Swedish and Finnish are complicated to read. We had a wonderful visit and I highly recommend Helsinki Tours. It's a reputable company.

    Loved it!
    Me, my mom and dad went to this tour. My dad left his jacket in the Allas sea pool and went back after an hour and it was still there. Then he forgot his cellphone in the taxi and the taxi driver personally drove the car back to the hotel to return it. People in Finland is very honest and it’s safe here. We rode the tram, ferry, bus and subway/train everywhere with the transportation pass that the tour gave us. It was a very fun trip indeed. I highly recommend it but research where you want to go first because there’s a lot of free time in your hands. Finland people are very punctual. Try to be on time if you go on this tour but they will come back for you if you were late so don’t worry. Lastly, I won’t recommend riding the train. There’s homeless and mentally ill people in the train but the others are nice and safe. Enjoy!

    I thought this was a very average tour. It was well run and the guy was nice. But it seemed like he couldn’t fill 4 hours. We spent almost an hour in the library. Which is a pretty standard library. And he explained an ATM which I think everyone knows. It was just kinda nothing. Although like I said, the organization was great.

    Terrific tour, the guide Harry was knowledgeable and interesting, he quickly understood what interested me and tailored his narrative accordingly. Saw most of the important Helsinki attractions and learned a lot about Helsinki and Finnish culture and life. Traveled around by foot and tram.

    Amazing experience on Lapland
    There were some very unfortunate circumstances at first. We had to cancel out two activities. But very calm and understanding, she managed a snowmobile tour for us and also provided a complimentary excursion. Always there when we needed and keeping up to date with her customers is what made us feel good. I can’t thank enough for the experience we were able to witness. Thank you Zoe.

    An Excellent Experience in Tallinn!
    The Tallinn day-long excursion was worth every moment, from the hotel shuttle to and from the ferry, to the excellent guide service in Tallinn. The communication with Zoe at Helsinki Tour was superb and ensured that the entire experience was excellent! Unfortunately - for them - two others had to cancel at the last minute, so it was a solo tour with the guide, Julia, who was very informative and made the history come alive. I highly recommend the trip to anyone interested in Tallinn and Estonia's history and modern day culture.

For the cost of this activity, we hoped to learn more than information that could be read from an basic encyclopedia page about Finland.

There is so much that could be done to bring these places to life- the bus driver knew how to tell a story- he should have run the tour.

As nice as our guide was, this tour should be led by someone who really knows Helsinki “inside and out,” and can make the stories come alive for visitors. When a guide walks several feet ahead of a group, he/she misses out on the questions group members might ask. Be excited to share, prepare, and engage with your audience- I’m sure there is much to tell, and this trip fell very short of the mark.

Very disappointing.

This was a tour that I had being waiting for a very long time. Apparently it was only me and my family for the tour so it was like a private tour. The tour that we had was good enough but because of the tour guide our expectations went low and we didn't enjoy it 100%. Our tour guide (though gave us all the information and took us to different places) was always in a rush and rushing us as well as if she just wanted to finish the tour fast. She would be running away and rushing us while we were taking pictures around the city like she wasn't giving us time for photo's. Because of this I have rating of 3/5.

Dear Customer, We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the tour 100% due to the tour schedule that guests need to follow. On our tour, there are around 30-40 mins break for customers to spend time on their time, like taking more photos or having a cafe break. Besides this, we always reserve customers enough time to take photos on-site, we understand this might be not enough for some customers who really like to take lots of photos or a professional photographer who wish to capture the most beautiful photo on the sites. We wish customers can understand this since this is originally a shared group tour. After investigating with the tour guide, we understand that the tour starts a bit late than the scheduled time. The reason is the guide wishes you to finish the breakfast peacefully and have enough time to change more suitable winter clothes since it is very important to dress up warm in this winter season. During the tour, there wasn't enough time to take a break due to the schedule being a bit behind and the guide wanted to show you all the other attractions when they are still open. Please understand that some of the attractions have their own opening time, the attractions might be closed if we can not reach there on time. The tour guide understands that you love Helsinki and like to take many photos, so the tour was ended 40 mins later than the scheduled time. We are so sorry that the guide should have communicated more clearly at the beginning of the tour the schedule of the tour instead of letting you feel there is a rush during the tour. In each attraction the guide should communicate more clearly about how long time we are going to spend on the attraction and how much time is for the photo shoot, this will allow customers to have a clear idea of the schedule. Thank you for your feedback, we have taken this feedback to our quality control process. Have a nice winter! Best Regards, Helsinki Tour Team

This was an excellent introduction to Helsinki and gave us a good insight into the character of Finland and the Finnish people. The tour company was the epitome of professional - contacting me multiple times prior to the trip to confirm all details, bringing raincoats for my family (didn’t need them on our beautiful day), as customizing the tour to our interests.
Our guide Harry was punctual, personable, knowledgeable, and showed an interest in all our family members.
One of the best run tours I have taken in Europe.
Highest Recommendation.

We spent 9 days in Nordic countries. This tour was hands down the best at communicating! A couple of examples:
-they messaged us with the address and a picture of the meeting spot, and that really helped because the picture was on one side of a corner and the address was on the other side. So that made it very clear where to go.
-they emailed, what's app, and texted with trip advisor/viator messaging. We met some ladies in Estonia who were talking the tour the next day and had the same experience with communicating!

Our tour guide (Leticia) was knowledgeable and very flexible with our interests and abilities. The fort (Suomellina) had a lot of walking. It was fine for me but someone not used to walking a lot might have to take things slower. She handled all the transportation. The sights were interesting and I felt we got a good well traveled native's experience. One highlight was she showed us one of the indoor food markets and gave us a quick tour, some tips and let us find some fun things to try on our own for lunch. If you watch Someone Feed Phil, Helsinki, it was the same market!

Highly recommend this tour!

The Helsinki tour with Harry was more than a mere sightseeing! He is a true professional who held a lot of knowledge about the places we went to, ensured that we had the best of experiences with food, activities and cared about us (seeing us worried, took us to the hotel to ensure our lost luggages had arrived and continued the tour later on). All the places we visited were absolutely stunning with marvelous architectural styles. Harry also told us about the Finnish culture, coffee, music etc. Our day in Helsinki could not have been better! Thank you so much Harry. 🙂

A few things to know - this is primarily a walking tour - 4 hours of walking, this wasn’t clear to me when I booked. The air conditioned van isn’t - the driver did not keep the van cool and there were only burst of cool air (the van left after and hour). The guide was nice but was soft spoken and didn’t know much outside of the things she was scripted to say. She also didn’t engage with the whole group and primarily talked with one guest. The walking part at the island was nice but she didn’t tell us where we were going or why so it felt like aimless marching. I was disappointed by the experience and while not her fault it was a warm day she didn’t accommodate for the extreme heat. I felt like the walking both in the city center and on the island was to fill time.

Dear Customer, Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you experience the inconvenience of the van which used for the tour. We have discussed the vehicle issue to the bus company, they investigated the air-condition worked properly in the car. We encourage customer to tell us during the tour if the cool air is not enough. We try our best to operate the tours in more eco-friendly way. So we use the bus or car for the attractions which is far from city center, and in city center every attractions are close to each other with walking distance, it is almost more convenience to walk than drive vehicle around. In Suomnelinna, the sightseeing bus is not allowed, so guest will need to walk about 1or a bit more than 1 hour there. We never consider this tour is a bus tour, it is a half-day city tour that covers most attractions of Helsinki. Thank you for telling us about this, we will contact TripAdvisor and ask them to change tour category of this tour to city tour since now we noticed on TripAdvisor they have marked it as bus tour. Our guide normally give equally attention to every guests. Hope you can understand that if some guests are more active and ask many questions, it might feel the guide interact more with the active guests. We have discussed with the guide and ask to give a clear picture of the tour before the guiding, so guest will not fell it is aimless. We really appreciate your review and wish you have a good summer! Best Regards, Helsinki Tour Team

The tour was amazing! The guides answer all your questions relating to history, fun facts, agriculture, and economics, and more. There was a lot of time at each stop at churches or UNESCO sites to take pictures and relax for a bit before heading back onto the bus. Suomenlinna was beautiful as well and the tour showed off the island perfectly! 10/10 experience.

Keeping in mind that I took this tour in the dead cold winter, it was pretty nice! Most of our time was spent walking, but not an excruciating amount. We saw the main highlights of Helsinki and Suomenlinna. It certainly was not long enough to get in depth into all the sights. My one disappointment was that our tour guide was a bit disconnected from the group and had his headphones on at times. He kind of left us alone, which is fine, but this tour did not compare to others I have experienced. I would recommend it, but it can be hit or miss with tour guides. If you don't care much about total engagement with the guide, the tour itself is worthwhile.

Our favorite part was interaction with our tour guide, by which we gained a lot of knowledge regarding Finish history and culture. He was also very accommodating to our needs as the two of use are elderly so we do not walk as fast as some of our younger counter parts and we needed a few more rest stops. The tour itself gave us an excellent view of Helsinki and its various high points. I highly recommend it to other travelers.

The guide made the tour and he was well informed. This is a fast paced and jammed packed tour. As long as you and your companions understand that you will be covering the sights quickly because so much to do, it is worth it. Since so much to see, not much idle time to see/take pictures of things not included on tour.

Since no one else had booked the tour, we had the tour guide all to ourselves and learned a lot of history. We covered Temppeliaukio (Rock Church) and Sibelius Monument up close; but saw Olympic stadium from a distance and saw (from a bit of a distance) National Museum of Finland, Parliament, and Mannerheim Statue. Saw up close Uspenskin Cathedral and Helsinki Cathedral, Senate Square, and Esplandi Park. We had lunch at Old Market Hall (on our own) and then saw the Sea Fortress Suomenlinna (rode ferry both ways). Also, saw up close various famous statues like Pavoo Nurmi. Loved to have had chance to wander or see the museum at Suomenlinna but just no time in the schedule.
