Good and experience tour guide, will come again. We go to all the nice places and able to take many pictures.
Thankful that the miscommunication about meeting point was dealt with quickly (what’s app is a must) but disappointed in the pace of the tour (several kept wandering off) and the number of sites we saw in 3 hours. I would choose another tour if I came back another time.
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.
Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback:) During the Helsinki highlight tour, we show our guests the main sightseeing spots including Olympic Stadium, Sibelius Monument, Esplanade Park, Old Market Hall, Market Square, Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral, Senate Square, Helsinki Cathedral, etc. Besides this, if there is time our guide might show us some other interesting places like the library our guests, many guests give feedback it is really nice to visit the library since that is one of the places most close to the local's life:) We can understand that's might not interesting to every guest. This tour is 3 hours, but during that day the guide has spent his own time about 1 hour bringing the guest to the library so the tour extends to about 4 hours in the end. We thank you again for your review and wish you a nice summer ahead! Best Regards, Helsinki Tour Team
Library visit was great. Leticia was a great tour guide and explained about all important details about different monuments
Dear Customer, Thank you very much for your review, we really appreciated it! Our guides love what they do and like to share their knowledge with our guests. Our goal is to make sure our guests have a great experience with us:) Best Regards, Helsinki Tour
My husband and I came to Helsinki for a week and after doing a tour at the later end of a trip to Prague & wishing it was earlier since it gave us great ideas of where to go, I scheduled this tour for day 2. Our tour guide Cesar was great! He arrived right on time & lucky us, we were the only ones that day. He took us around to so many beautiful sights in Helsinki, ending in one of the coolest places ever! Even though he wasn't a native to Finland, Cesar's knowledge was out of this world! We learned so many little details about the history of Finland, Helsinki, and neighboring areas, saw the sights, and it was like a friend was taking us around with how warm & friendly he was. I can't recommend this tour (and Cesar in particular as your tour guide!) enough.
Dear Customer, We are so happy that you enjoyed the tour loved our guide. We thank you for your review and recommendation, and we really appreciate it a lot:) Have a wonderful year in 2022! Best Regards, Helsinki Tour Team
We had a wonderful tour guide, Georg. He was a walking encyclopedia about Finland. We learned so much. If you want to learn the history and cultural significance of the various point of interest, Georg is the right person for it.
Dear Customer, We are so glad to hear that you loved our guide Georg and the tour. We commit to providing an excellent experience to our customers. Thank you for your recommendation, we really appreciated it:) Best Regards Helsinki Tour Team
If I could give this tour 6 stars out of 5, I would. I contacted Ulla who set up my wife and I for the Helsinki Tour. This was set up on the morning of the tour, they accomodated us the day of. We could not believe the luck involved. Next, our tour guide arrived at our hotel and then we walked to several sights and took the trolley to many spots. Each place had meaning, our tour guide Cesar was EXCELLENT. We learned so much about the history of Helsinki and the great spots to go to that were easy accesible by foot or by trolley. Cesar really knows his stuff and will keep your attetion the whole time. You can tell that he truly loves what he does. Thanks for the great experience, we would definitely recommend to anyone going to Helsinki!
Dear Douglas, We are so happy to hear that you and your wife both liked our tour and our guide. We always do our best to provide customers an excellent experience since we love what we do:) Thank you very much for your recommendation and reveiw! Best regards, Helsinki Tour
