5.00Vicky was well informed and very flexible to our needs. She had a great planned route and nothing was too much trouble. We had some miserable weather, but she made the tour very interesting for the 4 of us. Vicky was absolutely excellent.
Great tour with a delightful and knowledgeable guide

5.00We were given a great tour of Helsinki by Victoria, who was very knowledgeable and told us the story of the city and Finland. The small group allowed us tailor the tour for our interests. A particular highlight was a stroll through the embassy area, and the different architecture around the city. Wear good walking shoes :)

5.00We spent three delightful hours touring Helsinki with Victoria K. and loved every minute. Vicky’s English is flawless—she lived in the U.S. and attended college in New York City. Although the tour was advertised as a small group, we happened to be the only two guests that morning, which made for a truly personalized experience. Vicky offered us a few options for what to see, and when I asked what she would show close friends visiting Helsinki for the first time, she suggested the waterfront. So that’s where we went—and it was absolutely wonderful. She's a fountain of knowledge: warm, engaging, and full of fascinating insights about the city. We recommend this tour with her wholeheartedly and without reservation.

5.00I had the incredible pleasure of exploring Helsinki with Victoria as my tour guide, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. Her professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of Finnish history and culture made the tour unforgettable. Victoria brought the city to life with fascinating historical insights, hidden gems, and personal touches. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does. Thanks to Victoria, I didn’t just see Helsinki I understood it. The tour left such a strong impression on me that I’m already looking forward to returning to Finland to explore more. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to experience Helsinki in a meaningful, informative, and truly memorable way. Thank you, Victoria! 💙 Rhegz
