We chose a guided tour as... - We chose a guided tour as we wanted to know more about each site we visit.
Andy was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about Helsinki and the various sites we visited, and was very thoughtful and patient with the elderly in our family as they had mobility issues.
The town of Porvoo is also beautiful and a place not to miss when visiting Helsinki
All in I would definitely recommend this tour. But of course much of the success of the tour depends on a good guide.
Thanks Andy!

Awesome day in Helsinki! - Has a great day with Jenny and our driver Andrew! Jenny as full of energy and shared knowledge about historic sites, major events, buildings, people, but also covered current times, culture and people of Finland, economic aspects, really a bit of everything. It was a fantastic way to spend a day around Helsinki since I really only had one full day in the city!

A great introduction - This was an excellent tour that went as planned. Our guide Nadia, was full of information about Porvoo and Helsinki, as well as the history related to these places. We never felt rushed and enjoyed our time in both. Nadia even provided some helpful practical information about the train system and places to eat in Helsinki. It definitely made us more confident when navigating the city on our own.
The car was spotless and comfortable. Our driver Andrew was friendly and an excellent driver.

Highly recommend - We were picked up on time by Andrew who was not only a great driver but a very good guide until we picked up Pascale. The entire day was perfect. Pricey, but worth it

Informative & Fun - Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun. He was able to somewhat customize our tour to what he felt we'd enjoy more. The driver was also very professional. The tour itself is very well rounded and we learned a lot about Helsinki.
Porvoo was such a quaint little city and we really loved our time there. There's opportunity to buy souvenirs and treats, as well, without the pressure to do so if you prefer not to. Highly recommend, especially at the beginning of your visit or if you don't have a lot of time to explore Helsinki.

Bad Experience - Nadia keeping telling my tour time ends at 1pm. she got something on in the afternoon. according to the plan, each place at least 15 mini and some of them are 30 mini. but every place I went was very rush, she just help me take a photo and dont event got time to take a short walk then take me away . in the end still missing 2 place did not go , Kauppatori and Old Market Hall due to lack of time. It's not worth it for the tour fee, I will never attend again and will not recommend to my friend also :(
