Tour Overview

The profound dive into Finnish society! This tour will give you all the must know information on the past and present of Helsinki and Finland.

We’ll start from the oldest neoclassical part of Helsinki and move forward to the modern functionalist center. During the tour, the changing architectural styles will give us visual references of the different historical era’s of Helsinki. This tour fills you in how Finland has come to and how everything operates nowadays.

We cover the main stories on politics, wars, economics and history in general that have shaped our country to what it is nowadays. If you are looking for a lighter, “I just wanna get my bearings set up!" -type of tour, we recommend our Free Walking Tour.

Some of the sites on the route are:
Senate Square, Helsinki Cathedral, Helsinki University, Finnish Bank, Log Harbour, Uspenski Cathedral, President's Castle, Saunacenter Allas, Market Square, Esplanade and more.

By default we start at 10 AM from White Cathedral stairs, Hallituskatu 9, Helsinki. Look for guide with a green cap! However by request we can pick you up from your Hotel also.
