7.FOOD Tour with Roof Top Bar in Helsinki

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 2 hours to 2 hours 10 minutes (approx.) · from $119

Taste Finnish salmon, herring, reindeer, caviar, cheese, chocolate, and coffee before a rooftop drink above Helsinki.

“The food was good, and Lara was nice, but it isn’t worth the price. We payed almost $200 usd per person and the food we got wasn’t worth more than $50 dlls all together. We have been in other food tours in Europe, and you usually end up feeling full, but in this tour you just get very small samples of food and you spend so much money, extremely overpriced. The photos are also misleading, she didn’t take us to the market square to see the stands of fruits as the picture shows, just to the old market hall where we had two tastings, then a bakery and we ended…”

Fish on frozen Bodom Lake, then warm up with grilled Finnish sausage, glögi, and cookies on a five-hour small-group trip.

“Expérience hors du commun avec un guide GÉNIAL ! Rien à dire, c était magique et à refaire. De plus il est très prévenant : bottes supplémentaires, gants au cas où votre tenue ne serait pas adaptée ! Prévoyez des bottes hyper waterproof + des vêtements de ski bien chauds ! Pour couronner le tout, à la fin de l'activité, le guide propose de griller des saucisses avec du pain traditionnel accompagné d'une boisson chaude finlandaise et des réglisses + petits biscuits. 10/10, rien à dire !”
