Experience Food tours in the best of
Helsinki with Withlocals

"I highly recommend Anna's tour. She provided context to Finland's history with its neighboring countries, Sweden and Russia, and how both countries have played an important role in the evolution of Finland's food and culture over the years. Anna also had remembered a comment I had made about visiting a coffee shop in Helsinki (since the city is known for their cafes and love for coffee), and thus promptly took me to two popular cafes towards the end of my tour. Anna takes great pride in the Finnish culture and cuisine, supports the small local businesses, and is attentive to her guests. This was a tour I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to others visiting Helsinki."

"Ruth was wonderful! Her language skills were amazing and her food choices were spot on. She tailored the tour to what we wanted to see/eat/ had already seen and let us take a \"bubbly\" break vs a coffee break. She's very personable and knowledgeable about history as well as local food and architecture. We loved our tour and 100% recommend Ruth."

"We had a great tour with Anna. We had teenaged kids who are not the most food-adventurous and a mobility challenged adult. Anna created a tour that didn’t include a significant amount of walking which helped immensely. She shared a ton of great information about the food we tasted, and we had a wide variety. We were absolutely stuffed by the end. It’s clear she has great relationships with the vendors as well. In addition, she gave us a fantastic lesson about the history of Finland. "

"We had a wonderful afternoon/evening with Anna trying the Finnish foods of Helsinki. Because our layover in Helsinki was only one night, we took advantage of this tour to learn about the local history and culture AND sample bites of all the foods instead of going to a single restaurant for dinner! She took us to at least 10 vendors, and had a fantastic tale to go along with each stop. Anna is a skilled storyteller who kept our whole family entertained and informed during our time together- her enthusiasm is contagious and we loved every minute, highly recommend her!"

"Our walking and food tour with Anna was wonderful. We didn’t know much about the city before arriving but we left the tour with a wealth of knowledge on the history, people and customs of Helsinki. Anna was so kind and great to be with. We tried many delicious and interesting foods and enjoyed the entire tour with her. Definitely a not to miss experience. "

"We had a wonderfull afternoon and tasted the best finnish dishes. Anna is such a nice woman. She gives us a lot of information about food and lifestyle. So we taste more than 10 dishes and besides of that she told us where we can taste best finnish salmonsoup. Thank you very much Anna"

"Anna was extremely helpful and accommodating. Our flight was canceled and we couldn’t make the initial date for the tour, so she was able to move some things around to accommodate us. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Finland and was just a pleasure! Would highly recommend."

"Our group of 8 had a wonderful time learning about Finnish history and cuisine during our tour. Anna was awesome - so friendly, knowledgeable and generally a joy to be around. Would definitely recommend a tour with Anna. "

"Anna was the perfect guide for this tour. She told us so much about Finnish (food) culture. The tastings she selected were really good and showed us the best picks of the local cuisine. She also took into consideration that we had our tour in the middle of the winter and made sure that we saw and tasted a lot with a minimum time in the cold. I can only recommend this tour."

"Ann was delightful and picked delicious food for us to sample. She told us about the history of Finland and provided interesting insights about the culture. Her tour was one of the highlights of our trip!"
