Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Anna was so much fun to spend three hours with. We learned about Finnish history, culture and native foods. We tried things we would not have known about and mingled with the locals. She is a gem! Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge with our group of six. "
"This tour was the first thing we did after landing, great food and Anna gave us great insights!"
"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."
"Anna was amazing. She completely tailored our tour to our interests. As our time with her went on, she made changes based on her observations of our reactions. She is highly knowledgeable about many many topics. What she doesn’t know, she will research. Highly recommend."
"Anna was outstanding! Her knowledge of the city and her food tasting choices were excellent "
"Absolutely LOVED our 10 Tastes of Helsinki tour with Anna! A word of advice: start hungry! Not only will you eat loads of fabulous food, but Anna is so informative with her information about the history of Finland and of the different foods we tried. A mix of savoury and sweet tastings, we just loved the whole tour and the time absolutely flew by. Anna is so friendly and entertaining and we could have spent hours chatting with her. Wish we had more time in Helsinki. We had visited previously and done another walking tour and this covered more about the history of Helsinki itself. This tour was the perfect complement. Highly recommended! We wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with Anna when we come back! "
"We had a fantastic food tour with Anna, experiencing a variety of delicious traditional local delicacies and specialties, both savoury and sweet treats. As well as introducing us to all these tastings she took time to explain to us much about Finnish history and specifically the historical background to and cultural significance behind many of the dishes we tried - it was great to learn so much while trying delicious food. We would very much recommend our experience to others visiting Helsinki."
"We did this tour on our first day in Helsinki, and it was the perfect way to start our trip! Anna was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the area and its history. We tried a wide range of wonderful local foods, all of which we really enjoyed. It was a great tour, and we would highly recommend Anna, she was an excellent tour host."
"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. "
