Standard Helsinki top sites tour with a friendly and relaxed guide. Going on a Saturday both churches were closed at the time we arrived and we went inside a café instead. Be aware that while the tour provides pick up at some hotels it ends on the Suomenlinna island. You will get a ferry ticket to go back yourself and should plan about 1 additional hour before you are back at the hotel. The last hour of the tour was a standard tour offered on Suomenlinna and our guide dropped us there handing us the tickets and said good bye. 30mins later at 2pm the regular island tour guide started the island tour with a larger group of tourists (but still below 25 as promised). The mini van used was a taxi and we did not need it after the cathedral from where we could walk to the ferry. The market is.a very touristic market next to the ferry.

Our guide Leticia was awesome. She was like a history teacher. The city tour was great since it was done by bus and we did not have to walk too much. She even provided restroom breaks. Suomenlinna is a must. It was indeed a fortress to protect Helsinki, very well preserved and still a living community. Great tour!!!

Easy pick up. Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Wish we had seen Oodi vs Olympic stadium. Out of the way to just look at building from afar. Should also make clear how long the day will be with trip to island and that there will be a different guide there. Overall good and would recommend.
