Dive into the Beauty of Helsinki with a Great Guide - We had the real pleasure to join the tram tour with Emek this August. The tour was definitive one of our highlights during visiting Finland, Sweden, and other countries of the Baltic Sea. Emek gave us remarkably interesting insights into life, culture, and history of Finland and Helsinki. Emek will guide you to remarkable places and show you also the beauty of the buildings and places that Helsinki can provide to you. And we will never forget the visit of the central library in Helsinki - not only because of its architecture, but also because of the wise concept behind it (be surprised, what Emek can tell you about it). Also because of the wonderful experience made with the tram tour we fell in love with Finland and Helsinki. We plan to return to Helsinki in near future. And if we arrive, we will surely book Emek for another tour! So, join Emek and let hin guide you through Helsinki. Helsinki and Finland are far more than (the great band) "Nightwish" (this is an insider for Emek :-) ).

Finland is not Scandinavian. Finland is different. Finland is fun and you know because of this tour - The gentleman hosting the tour is super funny, nerdy and ensures every query of how Finnish people live their life in and all about Finland gets resolved. My trip to Helsinki honestly couldn't have been more memorable without him because he goes above and beyond to make sure you have the most of your trip. To be precise, I asked him about nature soaked spots which are noteworthy truly and not just touristy spots. He texted me all the cool spots along with restaurants where I can experience the Nordic spirit. In addition, the day trip pass is an extra bonus which you can utilize for travelling throughout the city whether it be ferry to island or tram to your accomodation. I would definitely recommend to join the tour which he gives at a competitive price.

Tram rides - Very easy access. You have to purchase a day ticket which is available from the blue ticket machines then hop on hop off any tram. They are very frequent and very clean.

Tram/ walking tour - best tour I have ever been on - Amazing. Best tour I have ever been on. So much info packed into a short time in a fun and interactive manner Loved that he discussed issues in a respectful manner while giving us information on the present day situation. The modern library is a must see and he is so excited to show it off.

Helsinki Tram Tour - Unique Way to Get to Know Helsinki - We thoroughly enjoyed the tram tour of Helsinki. The tour gave us a unique perspective on the city, showing us a wide variety of locations via the city’s trams. Our guide, Emek, provided a breadth of knowledge of Helsinki’s transportation, history and culture. We left feeling we knew Helsinki that much better and were equipped to navigate the city on our own for the rest of our stay. Thanks, Emek, for a wonderful experience!

Do it! - I’d do it again! Great overview of Helskini and the day to day lives of locals. Highly recommended tour!

5-star architectural, cultural and historical introduction to Helsinki by a pro - Emek exceeded our expectations. He shared his knowledge about Finnish/Russian/Swedish history and culture; provided interesting anecdotes that underscored several points me made and answered every question we raised. It was fun to share urban issues we experienced in San Francisco and how Helsinki solved or avoided the same issues through better planning and policies. He delivered a tour from the point of view of an architect and urban planner that included some of the architectural and historical highlights of Finland, not a generic check-the-box tourist tour. He even provided some restaurant recommendations and the best vintage shops. We can’t recommend Emek enough. 5+ stars

Helsinki Tram Tour with a City Planner - I’m a City Planning Commissioner with over 15 years experience.

Besides contributing to the City as a professional he does these tours for fun! We lucked out finding him. Highly recommended!!!
