Our guide Alvaro (spelling possibly wrong) was excellent. He was absolutely brimming with information about Helsinki and its history. His introduction explained how the tour would work and expanded that throughout the tour that three distinct time periods would be referred to. And true to his word he did just that. This structure made it possible to connect the places and information. Å really well informed guide that made sure his clients were comfortable with the speed etc of the tour. As a note, if you do embark on a winter Helsinki tour when the temperature is below minus 5C with a windchill of minus 13C then do wear lots of layers!! My only complaint would be it was cold 🥶… although with bright sun and blue skies it was beautiful and complimented by the quality of the tour. Thank Guru

Alvaro is a great guide.. super informed/educated and at the same time passionate about Helsinki.. super nice, funny and entertaining! Can only recommend him! PSA for winter times: bring proper shoes - you don't move at the speed/the amount you normally would .. and are more exposed to the cold coming from the floor .. accordingly your toes might freeze much earlier than you expect ;)

A nice intro to history of Finland and a good selection of places of interest. Siri, the guide was humorous with good use of q's to keep us engaged (didn't just talk at us).

Robert was a wonderful guide! Even though we were all freezing outside, he pointed out and explained to us the most important things in Helsinki. He also made sure that we warmed up during the tour.

Best things to do and see in Helsinki

Helsinki is one of the most modern cities in Europe. Capital of Finland, it is the largest and most populated town in the country, and its coast is bathed by the Gulf of Finland. This Scandinavian city is possible to visit in a few days and see the essential and most emblematic places. It has quite a varied architectural style that mixes classic with modern buildings, as well as with different influences from other countries such as Sweden or Russia and also has many museums, designer cafes and many other amazing buildings and monuments.


As in any city, if you want to get to know the culture, history and the most iconic places it is important that you get shown around by a local guide. If you do a free walking tour in Helsinki you can take a guided tour that will allow you to have a complete, different and fun view of the city. Some points of interest that you shouldn’t miss your trip are; Senate Square, where the Cathedral (Tuomiokirkko), the University Library and Casa Sederholm are located, the Lutheran Stone Church (Temppeliaukio) and built directly into the bedrock of the city and illuminated with natural light, the Old Market (Vanha Kauppahalli) and the Market Square are also obligatory stops.


The Sibelius park on the seafront, Esplanadi (urban park), the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral or the Kampi Chapel of Silence could be included in your route to stretch your legs. A little further away but worthwhile is the Fortress of Suomenlinna on 6 islands and built by the Swedes. You can choose a tour for the morning, afternoon, or evening. All the free tours available in Helsinki have opinions of walkers who have already done a tour in this city and evaluated the experience and the local guide.
