The most civilised city I have ever been to.
Possibly the most civilised place I have ever been to. Very clean, no graffiti, no louts, brilliant transport system, best airport I,ve ever been to, friendly people, interesting food. Interestingly the prices were not as bad as I thought they would be. Maybe 10 to 15% more than the UK.

Great Introduction to Helsinki
Perfect introduction to Helsinki. Elodie was an excellent guide. She shared history of Finland and Helsinki and also what modern day life is like. She also showed us the highlights of the city plus a few extras like the underground tunnels and the stunning train station. Highly recommend the tour.

It was a great half day...
It was a great half day hike, David was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the forest and its plants, trees and animals, and he set the pace perfectly. It was a small group, there was only 8 of us. Also, the mushroom soup was delicious and that’s coming from someone who otherwise doesn’t eat mushrooms.

This is a special tour. You're not just getting a different view of a city, but you're learning about a place and it's people through the interests and focus of your group. It's a small group, a deep discussion and a fascinating experience. I'll never forget it.

Reindeer Farm Adventure with George
This was such an utterly unique and memorable experience, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to get up close and interact with the reindeer. It was easily one of the highlights of our time in Helsinki.Our guide, George, was an absolute delight — warm, funny, knowledgeable, and wonderful company from start to finish. Somewhere along the way, we also learned that The Carpenters have completely stolen his heart, which somehow made the day even more charming. By the end of the tour, we were pretty happy to have spent the day close to him, too.We highly recommend this tour, and if you have the chance to get George as your guide, absolutely do it!

Great experience learning about Porvoo and Finnish culture. Darius was great and very knowledgeable. Did a walkabout, had a coffee break, time for shopping, and learned a lot. Half day trip, so leaves time for other activity in the afternoon. Convenient pick-up from hotel. Good pre-excursion communication from Darius.

Superb day trip. We had the most wonderful time.
Our number one highlight of our week in Helsinki. Jeff was one of the best guides we have ever had. Very knowledgeable, especially about the fauna and flora in the park. The walk through the national park was delightful, topped off with a delicious meal by a lake. The afternoon in Porvoo was lovely. Nice church, quaint little town with craft shops, a local chocolate shop, ending with coffee and cake sat outside of one of the charming local cafes. In all a day to remember.
