Overview

We'll walk together in the city center for three hours, discovering Helsinki's secrets, learning its history, culture and traditions. Why is there a statue of a Russian Tsar on the Senate Square? 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? Why do Helsinkians 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? 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.

A must-try!

Published on Feb, 2025

This Helsinki tour was amazing! From modern architecture to unique historical sites, we loved exploring the city’s culture. The guide was engaging and full of local knowledge.

Beautiful experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Helsinki’s minimalist design and modern architecture shine through the tour. The city's coastal beauty is mesmerizing, though the cold can be a factor if you're not used to the chill.

Not your Standard tourist experience- so much better than that

Published on Aug, 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Emak, his knowledge of the founding and development of Helsinki and Finland was obvious and he was easy to talk with and he engaged with everyone in the group. I would highly recommend this tour

A curious and chill tour

Published on Aug, 2024

The guide is very friendly and chill. I enjoyed learning about Helsinki history and facts about Finnish culture. I also like the we spent time discussing languages and the history of Finnish and Sweden in this country.

An intersting tour

Published on Aug, 2024

We loved this wander through Helsinki learning about its history and seeing some interesting places. Kids 16 & 13 loved it too.
