The best way to spend your day trip in Helsinki We take free walking tours everywhere we go and have done maybe 25-30 in the past few years. We agreed that this one was amongst our top 3 favourites. Matti is so engaging and informative. We only had a few hours in Helsinki, on a day trip from Tallinn, and this was the perfect way to get a taste for the city. We visited a couple of Matti’s recommendations before getting the ferry back but we will certainly return! Go raibh míle maith agat, Matti! 🇫🇮🇮🇪

Best tour for ADHD people Really the best tour I've been to, so far. Not overwhelming, not underwhelming, just right amount of information, sights, history, fun facts, jokes. I'm ADHD, so also the storytelling was so compelling, Matti is really charismatic and talented at what he does, you just WANT to listen, I usually have a hard time listening to tour guides, but this time I didn't lose focus at all and learned a ton about Helsinki. Thanks!

Engaging Walking Tour Excellent narrator and guide, with Finland's relationship with its neighbours carefully woven throughout the entire tour, so that you came away with some great knowledge without feeling overloaded.

Engaging tour with Marti Marti gave us a very informative and insightful tour of the main highlights of Helsinki in an enthusiastic and engaging manner. The group was not too large so everyone could hear him talk and Marti ensured everyone was involved in the experience.

A must do tour in Helsinki We have done more tours around the world than we can count and this tour is among the best we have experienced. I am always skeptical about "cheaply" priced group tours with no maximum number of participants, but this tour was surprisingly great. Matti was an amazing guide. One of the best we have encountered anywhere. He was very knowledgeable and provided great insights into Finnish history, architecture and culture. We had no idea how interesting and different Finnish culture was! He provided so much information in a friendly, interesting and often humorous way. Don't even give it a second thought - just book this tour! It is a must for anyone visiting Helsinki.

Top class city tour Having had many tours in the past I can safely say this was one of the best. Informative, with the right dose of humour and a guide able to answer all our questions (as well as teach us some Finnish). Highly recommended

A perfect introduction to Helsinki Wonderful tour and a perfect introduction to Helsinki - Matti is an excellent guide. Friendly and welcoming, and provided lots of fascinating information about Helsinki and Finland. Great tips for places to see and things to do after the tour. And a great tour for solo travellers too. Kiitos!

Brilliant and entertaining! I booked this tour for my first morning in Helsinki and it was an excellent introduction to the streets and buildings of the city centre. I particularly enjoyed Matti’s stories about Finnish history and culture. I feel I really learned more about Finland than if I had just visited on my own. Matti is an engaging and amusing guide. His English is immaculate. Overall I thought the tour was great value for money and a great way to find your feet in Helsinki.

Great experience. Recommended. Toured with Matti. Excellent. Entertaining and informative, Gave an excellent overview of Helsinki history, local geography, and the people and their customs - all done in an interesting and personable way. Also compassionate - made sure we kept warm, including a coffee stop, as it was some -20 degrees C. Matti - I promise we will henceforth always pronounce 'Sauna' correctly!! Recommended.
