We got deep lessons in the history of the region, the local culture, and got to hear about daily life in Helsinki. Anna was friendly and open and we appreciated her passion and knowledge for Helsinki and the tour. I loved being able to ask about and discuss questions about Finnish local daily life. We loved the tour and loved spending time with Anna. I highly recommend her specifically!"

"I highly recommend doing a tour with Anna. She is a very kind and interesting person, provided me a ton of insights about Helsinki and Porvoo.

"We had a great 3 hour tour with Anna. She was a fabulous guide with local cultural historical and political insights which enriched our visit to Helsinki. We visited some main and interesting sites and her recommendations for further exploration were spot on. Thank you Anna "
"Our group of 6 cruisers met Tommy for Highlight of Helsinki 3 Hour City Tour and were so glad we did. Tommy tailored our tour to start and finish at places convenient to us and to make for an easy walk back to our ship shuttle bus. We visited so many interesting places but the highlight was the library of all places - what a world class facility. Tommy was full of plenty of interesting facts all expressed with good humour and knowledge. He kept a pace that was comfortable for everyone. Absolutely recommend."
"Solo traveler and had a great tour with Anna. The tour of the library of all things was the highlight as what a great investment in the community. Anna knows history, the city, culture and has great recommendations for you. Thanks for the city tour Anna."
"We had a long layover in Helsinki, so decided to go touring. Timo picked us up in a van so we could store our carry-on luggage and did a wonderful job showing us the highlights of Helsinki in the few hours that we had. He was knowledgeable, funny, warm, and welcoming. When I’m back in Helsinki, one day, he’ll be the first person I contact."

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Helsinki, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Helsinki spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Helsinki.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Helsinki, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Helsinki awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Helsinki, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Helsinki. Get ready to explore like a local!
