Siri was great - We had a wonderful tour with Siri - she was local and very knowledgeable and interesting. We appreciated her flip book with photos to help her guide… she was a good pace, not too fast or slow, current cultural information as well as historic. Highly recommend - don’t forget to give her a good tip!

An informative and interesting walking tour. - Our guide Viki was a font of information and provided some snippets of history we were not aware of before undertaking this tour. She had a great sense of humour and we could not have asked for a better guide. The tour itself showed off a lot of the landmarks within Helsinki including some we would not have thought to visit ourselves. The walking distance and time involved was easily manageable and I can highly recommend this tour as a starting point for a visit to Helsinki to explore the city, especially to identify places you might want to spend some time at during subsequent days.

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.

I wouldnt recommend. - Honestly, their tour really wasnt great at all. We tried to give the guide a chance, but she kept going off on tangents that had nothing to do with where we were, and we ended up having to leave. We only paid 3 euros for the tour each so it wasnt a great loss, but still its really just a bit of a waste of time. I gave 2 stars because they were easy to find due to a green umbrella and green cap. But kinda wish we found someone else instead. I would say its worth paying for a more premium product.
