A 2.5-hour Helsinki walking tour with a local guide, classic sights, and a market hall food tasting of fish, rye, reindeer, caviar, and more.
“We had a fantastic experience! Our guide Lara was very knowledgeable and approachable, and we learnt a lot about the history of Helsinki. We are very grateful that she was able to start the tour an hour earlier due to my change of flight. We saw some interesting and beautiful sights in Helsinki - within very reasonable walking distance. And she took us to the oldest market in town to taste some amazing local specialties - including caviar and bear meat! Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious. I recommend this tour - it may seem pricey, but the products you get to taste are totally worth it! A & K”
