4.00Appreciate the effort that the tour guide put into the overall experience but felt we spent too much time talking about the shopping malls and going around the city center in circles to fill up the 3hr booking. We were on our feet the entire three hours and were pretty tired by the end of the session. She seemed well informed about the history, architecture, and culture of Helsinki as well so we appreciated that.

5.00We had the best time exploring Helsinki with Pia as our guide! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything we had hoped to — and more. She had the perfect route planned for us and shared so many interesting insights along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Helsinki. And if you’re lucky enough to have Pia as your guide, consider it a bonus — she truly made the experience unforgettable. Thank you, Pia, for everything!
