I spent only six hours in Helsinki, so I needed a relatively quick and easy route through the historic center, along with a concentrated dose of information about the city's history. From that perspective, the tour was the perfect choice.
Thank you so much! 😊 A quick, easy route through Helsinki's historic centre with a concentrated dose of history, that's exactly what we want to offer, especially when time is tight! We're glad it was the perfect choice for your six hours. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
A bit too convoluted, several steps to take, jumping from the guided tour app to Google Maps for each stop. Truly nerve-wracking.
Grazie per il suo feedback, e ci dispiace che il continuo passaggio tra l'app e Google Maps sia risultato snervante a Helsinki. Prendiamo sul serio questa osservazione e la trasmettiamo al nostro team tecnico per rendere l'esperienza più fluida. Il nostro chat 24/7 su worldcitytrail.com/chat è sempre disponibile per aiutare. Speriamo di poterle offrire un'esperienza migliore in un'altra città. 🗺️
Informative self-guided tour with fun but not too challenging puzzles and interesting anecdotes. A good length. Recommended.
Thank you so much! 😊 Informative, fun puzzles, interesting anecdotes and just the right length — that's exactly the balance we aim for in Helsinki! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
The best value - saw so much we would never have found and the information was interesting and entertaining. We LOVED solving the riddles. I would definitely do this again in a different city.
Thank you so much Louise! 😊 Seeing so much you'd never have found otherwise, with interesting information and riddles you loved solving — that's exactly the experience we want to create in Helsinki! We're thrilled you'd do it again. With 167 cities available, your next adventure is waiting! 🗺️
This was so much fun!! It kind of felt like being on the Amazing Race, but way more chill. We got to experience Helsinki in a deeper way than we would have otherwise, and some of the puzzles really stumped us (which was part of the fun). Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzles or learning about cultural spots.
Thank you so much Bethany! 😊 "Like the Amazing Race, but way more chill" — what a perfect description, we love it! Experiencing Helsinki more deeply while being genuinely stumped by a few puzzles is exactly the mix we aim for. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
Very fun way to see the city. We not only played the games but also could stop for food and activities we found along the way
Thank you so much! 😊 Playing the games while stopping for food and activities you discovered along the way — that's exactly the flexible, fun experience we want to create in Helsinki! We hope to welcome your family of 6 on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
Pleasant walk, the puzzles are accessible. Point of improvement: some places mentioned are not on the route and therefore not visited. Examples: archives and places of execution.
😊 Merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la balade et trouvé les énigmes accessibles. Nous comprenons votre remarque concernant les lieux mentionnés dans les informations mais qui ne font pas partie du parcours, comme les archives et les anciens lieux d’exécution. C’est un point intéressant à prendre en compte pour rendre le contenu encore plus cohérent avec l’itinéraire. 🗺️
This is a fun way to explore a city with friends. Once you get going it makes sense but it’s a challenge to figure out the app/puzzles at first. I know this is because they have to do it visually since there’s so many languages but just be aware of that. No matter where on the list you start it makes the circuit so you will see everything. With that in mind, I wouldn’t recommend starting at the National Theatre (our first stop) because the question is confusing. We actually couldn’t get our phone to work at first so started exploring on our own and then later picked up the game at a different spot when we could connect. This ended up being a good thing as we wouldn’t have understood what we were supposed to do if we had started at the theatre. Also be aware there is a LOT of walking and quite a bit of climbing. We were able to do it all but it would be extremely difficult for someone with disabilities or health issues.
😊 Thank you, Carla, for such detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Helsinki with friends and that the flexible route allowed you to pick up the game at another stop. We’re sorry the app and first puzzle were confusing at first, especially at the National Theatre. We also appreciate your note about the amount of walking and climbing, as this is useful for guests planning their route. 🗺️
This was a good first activity to do when we arrived in Helsinki as it gave us an overview of the city and the key sights, with the addition of puzzles to keep my teenager engaged! The puzzles were generally pitched at a good level, just one that was a little too easy. You can go at your own pace, start and finish whenever you want and stop along the way. We had beautiful sun come out as we passed a park so stopped there for a bit.
😊 Thank you, Nicola! We’re delighted that the tour was a good first activity for discovering Helsinki and gave you a helpful overview of the city and its key sights. It’s great to hear the puzzles kept your teenager engaged and that you could enjoy the flexibility of stopping along the way, especially with that sunny park break! 🗺️
