Excellent way to see the major tourist sights in Helsinki - Excellent way to see the major tourist sights in Helsinki and try some of the local food. We felt there was plenty of food to eat- but we are not fussy! Lara was lovely and very knowledgeable. We think these tours are worth the cost- this tour very much equivalent to others we’ve taken in New York, Iceland and krakow.

Fabulous food tour in historic Helsinki - Lara combined a deep history of Helsinki with a fun food tour…..sausages, cheese, pastries, and hot lingonberry juice. While we sampled delicacies the rich history of this part of the world came alive. She is a superb guide.

Nice tour but could have had more food than just sliced salami - Friendly tour guide and we got to see a lot. The guide should have realized that the Orthodox cathedral was closed in certain days. The food part of the tour was ok with trying different deli meats and caviar, but it could have involved more food.

Eat something before - Not s lot of food here. More than half the tour is spent walking to places unrelated to food that you’ve seen already. Doesn’t provide the scoop on the best/good places to eat in town. Instead of sampling varieties of chocolates when we got to a chocolate cafe she brought (from home) ONE piece for each person. If the price of ticket was bit so high I wouldn’t be writing this review, but being what it is, I don’t think its right. They didn’t spend more than 20 euros per person. Overall disappointing.
