I highly recommend this tour to everyone!”

“Our guide Harry was very informative, patient, courteous, showed us an exhibit in the Lutheran church, and navigated us through the Pride Parade. The ferry ride to Sumolina was fun and he showed us all the highlights of the town and fortress. We got to spend time in a lovely garden. It was wonderful picking up the ferry at the fortress, so we didn't have to walk all the way back. It was a very nice day. The bus driver was also very informative and friendly as well.”
Eco-friendly Helsinki tour by tram and ferry, hitting top sights plus Suomenlinna. Includes guide, tickets, and sea fortress views.
“Sanna is very knowledgeable and she kept us entertained by sharing little nuggets of information here and there apart from the tour which we found very interesting. We specifically enjoyed our visit to the Suomenlinna Island very much. Initially we had to wait over 35minutes which was not a pleasant feeling, especially when travelling with a child, but we were impressed how Sanna took care of it to ensure our comfort. There was enough time given to walk carefully given it had been snowing heavily and the roads were somewhat slippery, and also for lunch and bathroom breaks. We also got quite a lot of helpful suggestions about other places…”
Aurora nights, husky yards, icebreakers and archipelago ferries — and the best of each.
