Great experience and great conversation. Would Recommend! - My wife and I signed up for a 2 hour walking tour with the guide Juliette. Juliette was very informative about the surrounding area, she provided excellent tips about the city, and made our tour very enjoyable. She was humorous and fun to be around. As this was our first Lokafy experience, we weren't sure how it would be, but after talking to Juliette for a few minutes, we were glad we signed up for this. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Helsinki. Many thanks to Juliette for providing such a wonderful experience.

Excellent experience - Marc was absolutely great he is very experienced! The previous day he asked about our preferences, and he prepared an excellent tour with information about the places and local things. He sent us links of restaurants and stores to visit and passed by some of them. Highly recommended.

City stay - Stayed at hotel F6. Walkable to everything. Highlights include: Allas sauna; old market; ferry and island suomenlinna; Oodi; cathedral; and many restaurants. Breakfast at F6 is excellent. You can’t lose. We stayed 3 nights. 3 or 4 would be good.

Outstanding tour of central Helsinki - Maru did an outstanding job guiding us around central Helsinki. She picked up on our interests & wove them into the tour. Maru was easy to tour with, extremely knowledgeable & it was a pleasure to listen to the info she provided.

Good tour of Helsinki - Jorge, a Portugese transplant, was quite knowlegeable about Finnish history and the local sites. He also accomodated our interests of art and culture by noting specific sites and areas of intetest in those fields.

Avoid Ahmed the tour guide and avoid Lokify, which Viator uses. - Our tour guide, Ahmed, confirmed at 10pm the night before then didn't show up for for private tour. We waited and waited and sent him whatsapp messages and not only did he not respond but he then switched off his phone. In the end, we gave up and went to the tourism office and signed up for a free 'green cap' tour, which was pretty good but we had high hopes for our original tour and were very disappointed. Although we booked Ahmed through Viator, he was with a company called Lokify and Viator clearly subs out to Lokify. We have had two no-shows with Lokify and our third experience with them was mediocre. We suggest you avoid any tours with Lokify and check carefully when you book on Viator.
