“We had an amazing time with our tour guide (Olga) as we discovered the city and all the important landmarks ! We chose to begin the tour near the Kumpulan kampus tramway station instead of the city center and it was perfect as it gave us the chance to know a little more about where the city’s story really began 😁 We also loved all the funny and historical stories she share with us ! 😄 We definitely recommend giving this tour a try if you are interested in discovering Helsinki, the Suomenlinna Fortress and the history behind their foundation 👍”

It was wonderful picking up the ferry at the fortress, so we didn't have to walk all the way back. It was a very nice day. The bus driver was also very informative and friendly as well.”
