Helsinki on Foot and Public Transport

Why not discover Helsinki on a city tram?
Trams are reliable and run smothly. You can see all the main highlights sitting comfortably on a tram. You purchase the ticket from the driver, with cash. There are vending machines for example at the Ralway Station, or every metro station (you may have to get underground).

Local Guide Maarit in Helsinki

Helsinki Guide Maarit
Welcome to Helsinki! 
The best way to get to know a place is to hire a local guide who can show you all the city highlights. We can take a walking tour and use public transport, which in Helsinki is excellent. The green city trams (street cars) can take you anywhere! Did you know that in Helsinki  you can take the tram to Arabia? It is the name for an artistic part of the city and also the cradle of design.
Finnish design is world renowned and Helsinki has been the Culture Capital in 2012.
Sightseeing in a minivan is also possible, please ask for a quotation.

White Nights

Few things impress first-time visitors to Finland more than the midnight sun in summertime.

You can experience the magic with us by getting in our London Taxi Cab and taking a tour along the shores of Helsinki
