Great Accessible tour of Helsinki

Gi, our driver and tour guide, did a great job showing us usual highlights of Helsinki and area stopping so we could experience the places up close and to take photographs. While there are many things to see, the Helsinki Library is definitely one you should not be missed. Gi modified the excursion to make it easy for my wife (who is wheelchair bound) to enjoy and participate. An added surprise was a visit to the major bomb shelter deep underneath the city large enough for 1,000,000 people. During the whole time we learned about the Finnish people, culture, and history.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was a pleasure to welcome you and your wife to Helsinki, and I'm so glad the accessible tour arrangements worked well for her to fully enjoy and participate in the excursion. Helsinki Central Library (Oodi) is indeed one of our city's true gems, and I always love sharing the story of the bomb shelter with guests — it's such a unique piece of Finnish civil preparedness history that surprises everyone! Thank you for trusting us with your time in Helsinki, and for taking the time to share such kind words. I hope our paths cross again on your future travels in the Nordics.
