Hello, my name is Jorge. In Portugal, I was conceived, and in Helsinki, I was made amd still its innumerable wonders continue to astound me, and I'd want to share them with you. I am a specialist in Photography and Video, and I have a passion for history. This love led to Travel Photography. The more I learned about this city, the more I wanted to share its hidden gems and undiscovered stories with others. "When you truly desire something, the entire universe conspires to assist you in achieving it," a wise man once said, and that is precisely what occurred to me.

Tour description


Helsinki Hilarity: The Two-Hour Tour de Force

Welcome to the quirkiest walking tour in Helsinki! We start behind the Swedish Theatre, where we’ll warm up our leg muscles for this epic two-hour adventure. Strut your stuff down Esplanadi, where you can admire the greenery and maybe spot a local squirrel—or at least a suspiciously squirrel-like pigeon.

Next up, we’ll hit Market Square, where you can sniff out local delicacies or ponder how many tourists it takes to order a reindeer hot dog. Don’t worry, we won’t judge!

Feeling a bit more cultured? Perfect! We’re heading to Uspenski Cathedral, because nothing says “I’m sophisticated” like snapping selfies in front of a majestic Eastern Orthodox church. Then we’ll take a leisurely stroll to see the statue of Snellman, a Finnish national hero who—let’s face it—you probably never heard of until now. But hey, he’s got a statue!

Finally, we’ll wrap up our tour at Senate Square, in front of the iconic Helsinki Cathedral. Marvel at the architecture, absorb the history, and wonder if your feet will ever forgive you. Join us for "Helsinki Hilarity"—where the sights are stunning, the jokes are questionable, and the memories are unforgettable!
