Helsinki Private Tour with a City Planner

What your day looks like

Forget those pre-scripted, crowded and boring touristy tours! Our walking tours will be adjusted according to your interests and preferences, the group size and the weather conditions; so you will get the best of Helsinki. We will walk together in and around the city centre, discovering Helsinki's secrets, learning its history, culture and traditions. Why do Helsinki people have a picnic on top of graves? What was the meeting point of the bohemian people of the 1880s in Helsinki? How did they build a church inside a giant granite rock? Where did Lenin hide when he was running away from Tsarist Russia? Why do the Finns swim in ice-cold waters? 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? Why a short bridge in city center is called “The Long Bridge”? We will find answers to all of these questions and more while visiting each of these important locations in Helsinki.
