  • A Waste of Time and Money

    Our tour guide was very good, but the tour itself was a waste of time and money. The synagogue is the only Jewish site, yet the company did not arrange for a visit and we were not allowed to enter. We could have viewed the exterior on our own. We have taken many Viator tours; this is the first time that we are disappointed.

  • Enjoyed the Tour of Downtown

    This was an informative tour of the old town, and we very much appreciated the flexibility of scheduling. Our guide showed us unique landmarks and clearly was invested in us understanding Helsinki history.
