This was my 3rd tour in Helsinki. Excellent tour, great locations chosen for viewing. I highly recommend it, especially guide Ruslan. Thank you
Well-paced, informative and fun - but dress warmly if needed.

Two hour tour of central Helsinki. Well-paced, informative and fun. Highly recommended. One tip - dress for the cold weather if needed. Standing in the shade and wind at zero Celsius does require some preparation. I was ok (having lived in Eastern Canada) but some of the more southerly Europeans on the tour (and their kids) were obviously cold. Which detracts from the experience.
Free Helsinki city trip by Ruslan from Green Cap is an absolute must!

With a guide you get to know a new city much better. Especially with Ruslan from Green Cap, who enthusiastically told us about Helsinki and Finnish history and culture. Absolutely recommended!

I participated in the tour on 24th September, unfortunately I don't remember the tour guide's name, she is originally from Germany and lives in Helsinki for 8 years. She was a great tour guide, took us to all main sights in the city centre, gave us a very good overview about the city and Finland's history and recommended many places (museums, restaurants, saunas, Soumenlinna island) that worth a visit.
Really a great guiding tour!!

I did not enjoy the tour that I took with Juoko. The tour was very low quality, with very little facts and details. 2 other people left part way through, I left shortly after. The narration was off, the details just weren't there. I would recommend taking a tour with a more well established company.
Lovely city walk

Lovely city walk with excellent guide who provided a lot of interesting information and tips. The walk took two hours but had many stops so it was not hard.
Amazing tour with a wonderful guide Vicki

Highly recommend this tour- worth a large tip especially if you are lucky to have Viki as your guide. We enjoy tours that balance history with humour and modern day relevance and this had it all. Would recommend you do this tour in day one of your stay in Helsinki !
Every one should do it

Ruslan was amazing. Taking us to interesting places and telling all backgrounds stories. His tempo was good. Not too long staying and telling long stories. We saw iconic buildings and also he told about Finish culture and gave us great advices where to go , to see and to eat. We loved it
Interesting history of Finland.

A really informative tour and worthwhile doing but, I didn’t like that the guide began the tour by saying that tips were necessary either in cash or by card. Obviously I was going to tip but this really put me off!
