“This was a fantastic experience. Driver was friendly and very skilled on the icy roads. We were greeted by our guide who explained the plan for the evening then showed us around the hotel and how it was built. He showed us all the rooms, each incredibly unique with fantastic ice sculptures. We had a chance to have a shot in the Ice Bar and throw the ice glass against the wall.

A small-group Helsinki sightseeing tour with short food tastings, Finnish history, and market hall bites, guided in English for about 2 to 3 hours.

“Overall great experience learning about the history of Helsinki and sampling various local foods. I enjoyed walking off the main streets and learning about the not only the city but also the neighborhood and parks within Helsinki. Larisa, our guide, is very informative and attentive and offered a personal touch to our experience. Although my partner and I were the only 2 people in the group, we did not feel rushed at all. Some definite highlights were walking the streets which inspired Moomin and the tastings (the caviar options, smoked meats, pastries, and (one of my new favorites, spruce tea). We definitely recommend this tour to others!!”

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”

Taste Finnish classics on a 2-hour guided walk from Old Market Hall to Esplanadi Park, Fazer, and Alko, plus smart drink tips.

“Needs an exertion level attached with the hills in Helsinki. A "moderate exertion due to walking, uneven walkways, and some hilly terrain" notice would have been nice. Yaneka {sp} was a great tour guide of the inner city blocks, and her knowledge of the area and some local food traditions and history was great! She did spend a little more time than what was originally intended, and we appreciate her staying with us until all was completed in her tour and all our questions were answered. I would do another tour with her, as she was very personable and we left feeling as-if we had made a friend in Helsinki.…”

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!
