Super interesting, well paced - Really enjoyed our tour guided by a non Finnish lady Inhoa who gave us a great insight to the Finns, their habits, the history and so many interesting buildings. She really knew her stuff and made it enjoyable. Kept us out of the drizzle and strong winds where she could. Definitely worth doing thank you

Wonderful Free Walking Tour - On a recent trip to Helsinki with my dad, we went on the Green Cap free walking tour. It was a wonderful tour - I can't recommend it enough. We saw all the essential Helsinki sites and learned so much about Helsinki, Finland, and Finnish culture. Our tour guide was personable, clearly passionate about Helsinki, and you could tell enjoyed what she was doing. Although it is a free tour, we of course compensated our tour guide via tip since that's the only way she gets paid for the tour. Overall, was a great experience.

Helsinki free walking tour - This was a wonderful walking tour and I would recommend to anyone spending a day in Helsinki. Our guide, Katia, was so friendly and well informed on the history and sights the 2 hours flew by. It was extremely easy to find our guide ( just at bottom of steps to white cathedral holding a green umbrella) and a pleasant stroll through the city, which should not be too taxing for many people. Thank you Katia.

Excellent walking tour in Helsinki - We completed the free walking tour today with Siri as our tour guide. She was wonderful. We received a confirmation email after booking online, detailing where to meet, and Siri was easily located, exactly where we expected her to be. Siri offered so much information about Finnish history, answered all questions confidently and was easy to hear and understand throughout the tour. She patiently waited for everyone to catch up before speaking about the next area and gave great recommendations of other things to do and places to eat. Would recommend this to anyone with limited time in Helsinki or anyone wishing to know more about Finlands history and the beautiful City of Helsinki. Thank you Siri!

Great tour in Helsinki, 100% recommended. - I took part on this walking tour, guided by Siri. She not only showed us the city center and but she also gave us a lecture on the history of her country, city and even some cultural insights. I really enjoyed this tour, thank you so much :)

Unpleasant - There was definitely a lot of good information. However, the way the guide communicated with the group was, in my opinion, a disaster. First of all, even though the tour was advertised as a "free tour", the guide started and ended her speech by insistently asking for tips. (How is that possible?!!). Then there were a lot of very subjective comments from the guide about how the buildings looked. It was even more unpleasant to hear her comments about some Finnish companies and politics, which sounded inappropriate from an ethical point of view. I wish the company would be more professional in training the guides to avoid giving a wrong impression of Finland.
