Overview

We will walk together in and around the city center for three hours, discovering Helsinki's secrets, learning its history, culture and traditions. Why do Helsinki people have picnic on top of graves? What was the meeting point of the bohemian people of 1880s in Helsinki? How did they build a church inside a giant granite rock? Where did Lenin hide when he was running away from the Tsarist Russia? Which statue is the one that seagulls hate the most? Where did they bury thousands of bodies during the plague? Why is the largest Orthodox cathedral located in a Lutheran country? Where can you eat the best salmon soup of your life? Why Finnish people still cheer for the opponents of the Swedish national football team? How did a Finnish architect influence generations of American architects and skyscraper designs? We will find answers to all of these questions and more, while visiting each of these less known yet important locations in Helsinki.

Great historical city tour of Helsinki

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour guide Emek was very knowledgeable about the history of Finland. We had a great time and enjoyed our tour 100%.

Well worth your time

Published on Sep, 2024

What a wonderful tour! We learned so much about the history and architecture of Helsinki in a short amount of time. Well worth your time.

Great Private Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Emek was a fantastic tour guide. He took us across the key areas of “downtown” Helsinki and spent plenty of time pointing out key landmarks and explaining the city’s history. He also answered all of our many questions about the city and life in Finland. Would highly recommend that you book him for small, personalized groups tours.

Hands down best tour of Helsinki

Published on Jun, 2024

This private tour was fantastic. We booked this walk through Helsinki after looking for similar tours, and it did not disappoint. If I could give Emek more than five stars, I would! It was so informative, tailored to my group and incredible value for money. We saw a whole bunch of highlights across the city and learned more about Finnish culture in this three hours than the past few days. Fantastic use of time and not too walking intensive (plenty of stops). Emek answered all of our questions expertly, even the difficult ones, and made sure to really show us what life in Helsinki is like. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Helsinki and wanting an overview of history, architecture, politics, culture and modern life. Emek does a great job of tailoring this and our conversations were incredibly valuable.

Perfect guiding!

Published on May, 2024

A fantastic tour with Emek. Interesting (and fun) from start to end! A true sample of excellent tour guide. It was such a friendly atmosphere. His way of explaining everything from architecture, markets, arrangements and tourism to Helsinkis exciting history was extremely good. He was very flexible and could answer any kind of questions. We had three great hours in a fantastic weather. We highly recommend Ataman Tours!
