Top Helsinki Dining Experiences

Kiki was a wonderful host and guide for me and the small group I was a part of. Answers all our questions, brought all energy, food was amazing and was a wonderful adventure hiking/exploring the island! I also had the pleasure to do another tour with this company! I highly recommend them!

We started off our trip to Finland with this awesome excursion and we couldn’t have chosen better! My husband and I attended the last Baltic Bites tour of the season and were the only ones which made this even better. Kiia was a wonderful guide and taught us how to pick berries as we hiked around the iskand and gave us great recommendations in and around Helsinki, including restaurants, food from the market, and public saunas to try! The picnic lunch was delicious and was a perfect introduction to Finnish food. Would highly recommend this tour - we only wish we had more time for other Taiga Times tours!

We took part of this tour with our business, we came all the way from Tallinn and we were a team of 9. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the whole team had nothing but positive feedback!I especially appreciated the ease of communication and flexibility from Kiia's side. On the day of the tour the weather was promising to be pouring so we reorganized our day and went 2h later than the original planned time. Thanks to that we had only sunshine and warmth on our tour.The food was delicious and filling!

Kiia was such a wonderful and thorough guide, telling us all about the history of Pihlajasaari, the plants that grow on the island, the history of the food she served us. Very friendly and happy to answer all our questions about Finnish food and environment!

Such a lovely way to spend a summer day in Helsinki! Pihlajasaari is so pretty and located only a short (very scenic!!!) boat ride away from the city's hassle. The picnic-style lunch was absolutely delicious and it tasted extra good after a relaxed walk around the island. Our guide, Kiia, was great and her passion to nature and food was really inspiring. I will happily recommend this trip to anyone looking for a relaxed day with a little island twist!

Beautiful island walk with delicious local food including. Fun with friends and nice to see some more of Helsinki. Great guiding!

Just amazing day to spend in nature and yet stay so close to the city. Our guide was very kind, open and told us so many intresting facts about Finland, Helsinki and the lovely island we visited. She also prepared us a lovely picnic with some traditional finnish flavors. Absolutely loved the whole tour.

This tour was a perfect way to experience nature without going far from the city. Kiia took us on a ferry from a convenient meeting spot to a nearby island. She told us about Finnish culture and a bit about the language, and made us feel so welcome. We walked around the island and learned about its history and the types of things locals do there today. We even got to pick and eat wild berries on our walk! When we reached the picnic area, Kiia set up an amazing lunch for us. I appreciated that she asked about food limitations before the tour too. Every bite was more delicious than the last, and we were quite full by the time we left to head back to the city. This was a wonderful way to spend a morning enjoying the outdoors in Helsinki!

Incredibly delicious food, amazing views throught, immaculate vibes, and such a lovely host! It was the best way to spend my final day, perfect for a foodie. 100/10, take me back.Thank you Kiia!

I would recommend this trip to everybody!First of all, the guides were super friendly, they explained about the food and answered all of our questions. We had such great time with them!Secondly, the food was amazing! If you haven’t tasted Finnish food yet or even if you have - this tour gives the perfect environment to experience the delicious food.Also the island - Pihlajansaari is so worth visiting.Everything went so well and I will definitely come back to Taiga Times tours again soon!

What an incredible day! First we took a short boat ride to the island, followed by a walk in the nature with amazing views and the ocean breeze. We heard many interesting facts about the island and the Finnish nature. The highlight was the Finnish food, savoury and sweet, accompanied by talks and laughs with others!

I had an incredible time, thank you Kiia and Jeff. Even though I went alone, I met so many new people along the way. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of the area, making the experience even more enriching. The food provided was delicious, adding a wonderful touch to the overall experience. It was truly unforgettable and a memory that I will cherish for a long time. Highly recommend it!😍
