This was the best tour I’ve ever taken - and made Helsinki the highlight of our trip. Phillipe was a terrific guide. His knowledge of the city, and especially of the history of Finland, was amazing - he made the city come alive for us. He was very accommodating, adjusting the tour for the things we most wanted to see, and took us places we wouldn’t have thought to go. When he started the tour, he said he was going to take us to the Library. My first thought was “the Library?”. But the library actually was incredible - everyone we’ve told about it wants to go! Don’t miss this tour - and ask for Philippe!

What a great way to kick off a visit to Helsinki. Our private tour guide picked us up at our hotel and walked us around the city, giving us history and cultural information and letting us take some amazing photos. I would recommend you start your journey with this tour as it helped us get an understanding of the city layout and get our bearings. Really cool experience.

We just returned from a two week trip to Finland. We didn't have much time to spend in Helsinki and decided to schedule a private walking tour for the afternoon we landed. This was a great idea as it gave us a feel for the city, hit spots we were able to check off our list in order to optimize the rest of our time there and stretched our legs after a long flight. Our guide Felipe was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and music shops. We also appreciated that even before we arrived, Happy Helsinki's email had great information and details regarding how the taxis worked at the airport and other ways to get to our hotel. I highly recommend them!

We got a very good tour through the city that took around 3h. It was stressless, adapted to our walking rhythm and very enlightening regarding the city history and its main points. We ended the tour with the feeling that there was not much more in the city to see. Our guide (Katerina) had patience, gave us time to wonder around at the locations we looked more interested at and was always ready to answer our questions. Big thumbs up to the overall experience.

Great way to experience Helsinki. Our tour guide Maria was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had three hours which was perfect as we got all that we need to know but wasn’t information overload.

Leslie_J

Maria, our guide, was amazing. Full of fun facts, informative and enthusiastic. She took us to places we would never have thought to go which were incredible. One of the best private guided tours we’ve ever had. Thanks.

Karen_K

We had an excellent time despite it snowing the entire tour. Maria was extremely knowledgeable. She provided us with everything we’d want to know about Helsinki and Finland in general. She was lots of fun and made having a history lesson in the snow really enjoyable. Maria gave us many recommendations for places to visit by ourselves and also where to go for dinner to try Finnish cuisine. Definitely recommend !
