5Nice time to see the fort and city
Great time. It was nice and easy to see the sites and fortress. 5 to 6 hours. I went in May. Wear a jacket in case it's windy or rainy.
5Solo traveller loves Viator Tours!
They will have a super guide if they have Lucas. Will see the highlights on Helsinki with great explanations of sites & history .
5Interesting Tour
Knowledgeable guide, interesting stops and balance of walking and riding made for an enjoyable introduction to Helsinki. The ferry ride and Fortress were highlight of the Tour.
5Great weather. Great day
We had two different guides. One for the city in the morning and a different one for the ferry and island tour. Learned a lot And it was a beautiful day
5Danielle is an exceptional tour guide! Love Helsinki!
Daniella was an excellent guide and made our experience in Helsinki fantastic! Her knowledge was extensive and her personality made our day so enjoyable! Highly recommend a tour with Daniella!
3Nice but...
The Helsinki sightseeing tour started well, but the Suomenlinna part could have been much better. The guide provided very little information and mostly walked quickly from one point to another in silence. Overall, it was decent, but I expected more explanation and engagement during the fortress visit.

About Helsinki
Helsinki is Finland's capital on the Baltic, a compact seaside city of neoclassical squares, Art Nouveau streets, design shops and saunas.
The white neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral looks down on Senate Square, and the red-brick Uspenski Cathedral stands on a rocky headland to the east. Carl Ludvig Engel planned the city centre in the early nineteenth century after Finland passed to Russia, and Art Nouveau houses line the streets of Katajanokka and Eira. The Market Square on the harbour front has stalls of fish, berries and crafts, with the Old Market Hall nearby.
Top-ranked sights in Helsinki: Helsinki Senate Square (Senaatintori), Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki Central Library Oodi.
