Question 1

Where is the starting point for the tour?

Accepted Answer

We meet at the Senate Square (Finnish: Senaatintori). Look for the orange ID-badge to find me. Trams 2 (also 2B), 4 (also 4S), 5 and 7 have a stop called Senaatintori on their route. This is displayed on the screens and announced in the intercoms.

Question 2

What if I´m running late?

Accepted Answer

Check-in for the tours starts about 15 min before the scheduled start. If you´re not at the meeting point by the time the tour starts, we´ll wait for about 10min. The tour starts on time and once it starts, I´m not able to respond to messages. You can join in along the tour as well.

Question 3

Something´s come up, and I need to change/cancel my tour booking. Is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel your tickets purchased via my Eventbrite-webshop until 24 hours before the tour starts to receive a full refund. If you want to transfer your ticket to someone else, please contact me to arrange this. There is a small 5€ fee applied to ticket transfers.

Question 4

What should I bring with me for the tour?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable shoes, a water bottle, an umbrella (if it looks like it could rain) and weather-appropriate clothing.

Question 5

What if the weather looks bad, does the tour still happen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I operate the tour in all weather conditions, so please dress accordingly. Helsinki is a seaside city with almost a constant breeze, so you might want to wear something that blocks the wind. Also, comfortable shoes are recommended.

Question 6

Do we have any breaks during the tour?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a small break indoors about half way through with an opportunity to use free toilets, fill up your water bottle (the tap water in Finland is the same quality as sold in bottles) and rest your feet a bit.

Question 7

I use a wheelchair to get around. Can I keep up with the group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The entire route is completely accessible so you´ll stay in pace with the rest of the group the whole time. There might be few regular street curbs to tackle here and there – just like in any other urban environment. So if you can get around in a normal city, you´ll be ok.
