Avoid Green Cap Tours – Unreliable and Canceled Without Explanation

My wife and I were visiting Helsinki from the USA and planned our short stay around the Taste of Helsinki & Suomenlinna tour. Green Cap Tours canceled it just one day before, with no real explanation — just a generic message saying they hope to see us “another time.” So far, we have not received any refund. We’ve traveled extensively and booked countless tours across the world. This is the first time any tour has ever been canceled on us, especially so close to the scheduled time and without a clear reason. This was not a minor change — it completely disrupted our limited itinerary, and we were left scrambling at the last minute with no support or alternatives. Green Cap is not a reliable company, and based on our experience, we strongly do not recommend them. If you care about your time and peace of mind while traveling, book elsewhere.
Great tour

Katia was our tour guide for the first part and she was awesome! The tour was fun and informative, the food was tasty. I can’t remember the name of our guide on Suomenlinna, but he was great. Highly recommend this tour.

This was our first tour in Helsinki after we arrived and it provided a great overview of the city, seeing the Cathedral, Market Hall, etc. The guide was very informative and we realized we would not have learned as much if we just did on our own. She customized to our small group (2 adults and 2 kids) and like that we could stay on Suomenlimna longer if wanted and not be rushed. Green Cap tours was easy to work with and I would recommend this tour!
