Worth the time! - The entire experience was educational, relaxed, and fun! We left with a better understanding of Finland history, culture, and definitely a good layout of the area to be able to travel about on our own the next few days

Informative and Interesting - Our tour guide Sanna was wonderful! Her talks were informative and interesting, and she also took great pains to tend to individual needs and questions. I’ve traveled to over 70 countries and have taken dozens of tours. Her expertise and hospitality place her in the top 10%.

Suomenlinna and Helsinki Tour. - Our guide Leticia was awesome. She was like a history teacher. The city tour was great since it was done by bus and we did not have to walk too much. She even provided restroom breaks. Suomenlinna is a must. It was indeed a fortress to protect Helsinki, very well preserved and still a living community. Great tour!!!

Good tour; perhaps a bit expensive for what it is. - I don’t have anything overtly negative to say about the tour. We saw some things and the guide seemed knowledgeable. I’m just not sure that the value proposition is there.

Helsinki Tour - Easy pick up. Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Wish we had seen Oodi vs Olympic stadium. Out of the way to just look at building from afar. Should also make clear how long the day will be with trip to island and that there will be a different guide there. Overall good and would recommend.

Standard touristic experience - Standard Helsinki top sites tour with a friendly and relaxed guide. Going on a Saturday both churches were closed at the time we arrived and we went inside a café instead. Be aware that while the tour provides pick up at some hotels it ends on the Suomenlinna island. You will get a ferry ticket to go back yourself and should plan about 1 additional hour before you are back at the hotel. The last hour of the tour was a standard tour offered on Suomenlinna and our guide dropped us there handing us the tickets and said good bye. 30mins later at 2pm the regular island tour guide started the island tour with a larger group of tourists (but still below 25 as promised). The mini van used was a taxi and we did not need it after the cathedral from where we could walk to the ferry. The market is.a very touristic market next to the ferry.
