A perfect tour of the amazing city where you will have an opportunity to learn lots about the city and also the country. I have been living in Helsinki for 19 years. I am originally from Portugal. My tours are not all about the facts and dates, but more to give you a balanced view of Finnish culture, history, economy and everday living. I am confident that at the end of the tour you will feel that it was not just a city tour but a memorable day in Helsinki with a new friend.

5.00Paulo was very kind, he was with us since we landed, he took us to see the city, the main tourist attractions, he gave us tips on cafes, shops and restaurants. It was really cool to learn a little more about the history of this beautiful place and how the people live. At the end of the trip we went to Porvoo, a small medieval town with wooden houses, super cool! I recommend 😊
Amazing in every way

5.00My husband and I came to Finland to explore his family history and learn about this beautiful country. Paulos was the perfect tour guide and ambassador of all that makes Finland so special. He is a fountain of information with regard to the history of the country as well as a champion for all that is beautiful in present day Finland and a beacon of hope for the bright light of Finlands future. Paulos is an amazing tour guide and a wonderful person. He is excited about showing this country. Thorough in his planning of the tour and responsive and kind both pre and post tour. He is truly a lovely person and consummate professional.
Excellent!

5.00Our recommendation: Half day Helsinki trip with Paulo in his car . He showed us this amazing European City from its best side, explained history as well as nowadays topics . We both were absolutely fascinated from the walk in the city and the car drive along the Baltic Sea . We have seen many different parts of the city, churches and the huge Icebreakers. Thank you so much Paulo for this 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Helsinki Tour . Jürgen and Bettina, Dreieich, Germany 🇩🇪

5.00Paulos tour thoughout Helsinki was simply amazing. What can you expect? An extremely pleasant and kind gentleman with good manners (very important for us), a great sense of humour (his Portuguese background), a clean, comfortable car (and safe driving!), lots of inside information about the city - and most importantly: a lot of fun! From taking a look at the icebreakers of the Baltic sea to the Russian church and the food market - great value for money! What I really think distinguishes Paulo from other fantastic local guides is that he has the ability to look at Helsinki and the Nordics not only as a resident of the city but also as someone who had to get accustomed to the Nordics himself. So he broadened our perspective of the city quite substantially. Bottom line: the trip was a birthday present for my wife and she absolutely loved it. We flew in from Frankfurt, Germany, in September and Paulo picked us up at the airport which was a very pleasant experience. Top man!

5.00I’ve sent several queries to several tour operators but Paulo was the most responsive. We were so happy we booked our tour with him. He was very thorough, friendly and cordial. He made sure we had a great time. Prior and after our trip, he was still in touch with us. Definitely, well recommended!
