This was a great tour for our first time visiting Helsinki. It gave us a really good overview of the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the country and its history. Unfortunately we were there on a Sunday, so were not able to go to the Church in the Rock. There was a service taking place in the Uspenski Cathedral, but we were able to go inside for a quick look.”

Awesome. We had a great guide "Rita" who was extremely knowledgeable. Small group was the best way to tour.”

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I had read about Helsinki ahead of time and got to see the places I had read about. Our tour guide was well informed and personable. Beautiful modern sculptures.”

We had a lovely tour guide, who was super helpful- she even gave us extra advice and maps on where to go next on our remaining days of our holiday. The tour was informative and gave you a really good sense of the city. The tour bus was very comfortable as well.”

Our guide was excellent and very experienced at managing group tours. Coming off of an extensive two day tour in St. Petersburg its hard for any city to measure up however seeing the sites offered were interesting and I can cross it off my bucket list.”

Very nice tour, with a great guide who provided a great overview with some light downhill walking. In on a Sunday, so shops closed early, but that was no fault of the tour, but were a little rushed so we could see everything before it closed for the night. If you have never been to Helsinki, a good tour to start with but would not do it again on a second visit.”

Good tour and tour guide. We appreciated time at the market and took advantage of a nearby stop to get off, visit a spa/restaurant and walk the rest of the way back to our cruise ship, watching sail boats and birds along the return trip.”

It is quite a short tour and mostly spent sitting in the bus! The Uspenskin Cathedral was not covered as promised in the overview and itinerary print out that I had, when I asked the guide she said she didn’t have it in hers which is surprising. It is shown on the itinerary on the Viator website even now!”

“

Short tour, pretty city, few stops. We were supposed to look for a guide holding a sign for Ulko tours. We waited about 15-20 minutes past the meet time when a lady holding a sign for JT Tours approached and asked who we were waiting for, she checked her list and found our names there was another couple waiting with us for the same tour and they had actually approached her initially to ask if she knew where Ulko Tours would be. Not a big deal, but delayed the tour.”
