Best of the best in Helsinki! This 4-hour tour takes you around to vital places of Helsinki. The capital city of Finland includes various historical places, modern Finnish art, and monumental churches. With this tour, we'll find out how all these mix together to build up the present Finnish lifestyle. The Senate Square offers you historical vibes with our neighbor Russia as Alexander the second still stands there reminding of his empire. Also, the Helsinki Cathedral, a symbol of Helsinki, reminds of Finnish under hard times. The marketplace offers you great shopping possibilities, with extraordinary local products. To bring up the mix of modern and historical Finland, we visit Oodi, the new library! And Rock church. If you like coffee like us finns do - we will have a stop to drink Finnish coffee and taste some local pasteries.
Paivi was very knowledgeable and we leaned so much about the history of Finland and Helsinki. She asked us questions and also answered the many questions we had. We would highly recommend Paivi to travelers wanting to learn about Helsinki and Finland. Thank you Paivi for a wonderful tour.
Paivi was a wonderful guide. She took us on an enjoyable walking tour of all the highlights of Helsinki. We highly recommend her.
Paivi is a great guide. She is very knowledgeable about Helsinki and Finland. When she was going to be a few minutes late due to traffic, she contacted us right away. She is flexible about taking you to what you want to see and at your pace. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and would definitely recommend her as a tour guide.
All three of us were very satisfied with our four-hour walking tour – exactly what we had hoped for, and more. We also got many ideas to organise three more days in Helsinki on our own. Paivi seemed to have a sixth sense for adjusting the tour and her commentary on the spot, in ways that exceeded our expectations.
It was a great introductory tour of Helsinki.
