Olaf – GermanyJuly 6, 2023 – Verified booking

For the first time in Helsinki we wanted to get a "basic set" of information about the city, the country and the people. Our guide Karim did very well. He provided us with information and showed or pointed out places in Helsinki that we would certainly not have come across on our first visit. The booked two-hour tour was a great start and made you want to do a lot more. - Kiitos, Karim!

Our guide Angela was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and informative and able to deal with every query we had. She also has a lovely personality and made the whole experience great fun for me and my partner. Having travelled extensively and come across many guides, I can honestly say she is easily the best. The 2 hours flew by and we were much wiser about Helsinki and Finland at the end.

Angela was fantastic, have used 'get your guide' many times. Angela has been the best 'get your guide' by a long way. When back in Helsinki would have no hesitation using her again. And likewise have no issue recommending Angela to others. She is extremely knowledgeable.
