We will walk together in and around the city center for three hours, discovering Helsinki's secrets, learning its history, culture and traditions. Why do Helsinki people have picnic on top of graves? What was the meeting point of the bohemian people of 1880s in Helsinki? How did they build a church inside a giant granite rock? Where did Lenin hide when he was running away from the Tsarist Russia? Which statue is the one that seagulls hate the most? Where did they bury thousands of bodies during the plague? Why is the largest Orthodox cathedral located in a Lutheran country? Where can you eat the best salmon soup of your life? Why Finnish people still cheer for the opponents of the Swedish national football team?

We will find answers to all of these questions and more, while visiting each of these less known yet important locations in Helsinki.

The husky ride was really wonderful. The dogs were very kind. The sled was easy to steer and we got a good introduction to sled control. The staff was friendly and professional. The sausages tasted good after the trip and it was nice to hear stories about the dogs and the farm :) I warmly recommend the husky safari to everyone!

I have two problems with this tour from Levi. I recently took this tour with my fiance for our honeymoon. We spent the full 8hrs and payed the $600. although the tour was detailed and the ride was amazing i really dont see why it costs so much! My friend took another tour for only $100 and they told me how they got the exact same experience visiting all the same places. Levi get yo mind right and put an acceptable price for this your just ripping off %90 of your customers

We visited the reindeer farm + reindeer sleigh and husky park + husky sleigh. We appreciate it a lot, especially the story of these animals which has been very well told. The reindeer farm has more than a hundred years of history, we were able to touch and feed the reindeer. The husky park was very large and raised over 90 huskies, we were also able to pet and take pictures with the huskies. Alex was very welcoming and informative. Thanks for this morning.
