Perfect guide for me
"Tommy met me on time near the train station and we began our tour. He speaks clear and substantive English so our conversations were very free flow. He understood that I was very tired as I had just come off a 13 hour flight and was on a layover. He paced the tour knowing this. He showed me things I would never have discovered on my own or in a big tour group. We discussed Finnish history, architecture, contemporary issues and other subjects. His ability to figure out what I wanted to see and hear about made it a terrific tour. I just wish I had more time that day. We ended up back at the train station on time and he made sure I caught the correct train back to the airport. All in all, the tour felt like a leisurely stroll with a new friend rather than a guide trying to rush. Kudos for Tommy. I recommend him highly."

Anna is the best guide ever!
"With many Withlocals tours, I strongly recommend Anna and her vast Helsinki experience. Her complete knowledge of Finnish, Swedish and Russian history made the tour a lasting memory. Additionally, she allowed and answered every question we had with a smile that never ended. Anna checks all the boxes for a wonderful day. "

Correction to Previous Review
"Our tour was wonderful. Anna knows so much about the history and culture of Helsinki. Anna was incredibly kind and gracious. She encourage questions and made sure to add a hint of humor to her responses and explanations. When our tour was over she made sure we knew how to make it to our next destination. Anna is the best! Our previous review incorrectly stated we were in Estonia. "

Kurzweiliger und interessanter Rundgang
"Uns hat die Tour mit Tommy sehr gut gefallen. Er hat uns die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten Helsinkis vorgestellt, uns die Stadt und Finnland näher gebracht und hat uns darüber hinaus auch noch individuelle Tipps für unseren weiteren Aufenthalt gegeben. Wir können Tommy als Guide jederzeit empfehlen. "

Great tour, very informative!
"It was great to start our stay in Helsinki with a 3 hour tour by Anna! We have seen a lot, learned so much about the history of Finland and could ask all our questions. We would recommend Anna to everyone who likes to learn more about Finland in a short time."

Wonderful Walking Tour!
"My mom and I had a wonderful tour with Tommy! After giving us a brief introduction to Helsinki’s history, along with gifting us some traditional candy, we were off for a wonderful walk! Despite the rainy conditions, Tommy remained upbeat, full of life, and had so much knowledge to share with us. The tour consisted of both iconic and less well known sights of Helsinki! In addition, Tommy suggested several wonderful coffee shops/restaurants! Tommy was truly a breath of fresh air with an unparalleled sense of humor (we were laughing almost the whole time)! We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Helsinki and can handle the 3 hour duration! Thank you Tommy!"

Tommy was essential.
"Tommy is defnitely the best guide you could have on your visit to Helsinki, he is very educated and informative. He gave us a decent introduction and guidance in a short time to Helsinki, some history and understanding on Finland, the culture, customs and the wonderful people, food and much more. You should visit with Tommy before you start exploring Finland, for an introduction to Finland. I hope to see Finland again, and I hope that I will see Tommy in the future maybe. "
