We had our dinner over the course of the tour - traditional meats & cheeses and learned about market halls, traditional meal at a cafe learning about life, cooking and city history, chocolate for dessert and then a wonderful tour of Oodi Library - our guide, Jola, was knowledgeable on so many topics, great conversation!
Jolantha was an excellent guide who combined local culture, history, and cuisine to create a memorable introduction to Helsinki's food scene. The tour offered the perfect balance of delicious local specialties and fascinating insights into the city's history and culture. It was a wonderful way to experience authentic Finnish cuisine while exploring Helsinki and learning more about the city. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Helsinki.
Perfectly titled as it is really a cultural and food tour both. We calmed traditional Finnish food and drinks that were not just delicious but in settings that helped mix culture and food too. It was like being shown the city and best spots by a friend. Jola was a gem of a guide. You couldn’t hope for better. So glad we booked this
We went with Ruslan and had an amazing afternoon! We discovered a lot of new spots to eat and relax in Helsinki and also got a nice share of cultural and history background information. Ruslan was a very capable guide!
A lot of city national and regional history while eating some really good food. Our tour guide Rusland was wonderful in that he was engaging interesting and friendly.
Ruslan was a great tour guide with insightful tips. We got to experience a lot in the 2.5 hours. We ended up purchasing some Finnish glassware from II TTALA and went back for more Fazer chocolates. Ruslan told us about a hidden “spy” bar which was a gem. We had a fabulous Finnish meal and got to try a flight of beers at a local brew house .
Our guide Ruslan was great. Friendly and very knowledgable. The mixture of seeing both the markets and restaurants made for a nice afternoon. The weather was surprisingly warm. Highly recommended.
Great local food, learned about local culture, Ruslan was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. Learned more than expected!
Lovely cultural walk through the Helsinki city center with amazing sights and good food. Easy to find starting location and sets you up to go back and try places.
A thorough tour of food hall with ideas for when we return on our own. Delicious selection of Finnish food and some history and culture along the way.
