What To Keep In Mind

Our private tours take place in all weather conditions, so we kindly recommend dressing appropriately for both comfort and style. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and it’s always wise to bring an umbrella as Helsinki’s weather can change unexpectedly, offering sunshine one moment and rain or wind the next. During the winter months, please be sure to dress warmly, as temperatures can dip.

If your hotel is in the city centre, we can also arrange our meeting point in your lobby. Please make sure you leave a comment and the name and address of the hotel when you make the booking, and we will confirm if the hotel meeting is available.

Please note that our standard tours do not include museum visits. However, if you’re seeking a more exclusive or tailored experience, we’d be delighted to create a private tour designed just for you.

Whether you’d like to include museum visits, iconic landmarks, hidden gems, or a stop for fine dining, we’ll shape the experience around your tastes and preferences.
For an even more refined experience, we can also arrange premium services such as chauffeured transport, behind-the-scenes access, private tastings, or curated visits to design studios, galleries, or cultural institutions.

Get in touch, and we’ll begin crafting a bespoke itinerary designed to make your time in Helsinki effortless, luxurious, and unforgettable.
