On our Secret Food Tour Helsinki, get onboard a journey through one of the most secretive country of the Nordic Regions .
Step into the heart of authentic Helsinki life with our visit to Kallio, meaning "The Rock" in suomi. This district pulses with a vibrant energy, fueled by the diverse spirits of its residents. It is a world away from the glossy, commercial core of the city center and the predictable rows of well-known international brand shops.
Kallio offers a stark, captivating contrast—a neighborhood where history, community, and contemporary Finnish bohemian culture thrive. We invite you to immerse yourself in this unique atmosphere.
Our guides will take you deep into the streets, uncovering the hidden narratives and local hangouts that define this area. This is more than just a sightseeing tour; it is a cultural deep dive that will reveal the Finnish life and identity. Discover why "The Rock" is the true beating, counter-cultural heart of Helsinki.

I had booked this tour because another company had cancelled. I’m so so glad it worked out this way since this tour was an incredible experience. I hadn’t realized it would be a private tour for just my wife and me. Anna the guide was wonderful! If I could give her ten stars, I would. Anna was knowledgeable about the food and Helsinki area we traveled through. She was an absolute delight to talk with; we felt we spent an afternoon with a close,personable, fun friend. I can’t rave enough about Anna’s skills as a tour guide!
