Private Customizable Sightseeing Tour in Helsinki

Unique city sightseeing tour in a custom Volvo Amazon convertible from 1969. See the major sights and photo hotspots. The tour can be adjusted to your wishes, so please do not hesitate to share your interests. If you are not keen on seeing the amusement park, we can easily exchange it to a longer walk in the Lammassaari bird watching area or in the Kaivopuisto area or for example to a visit of Sompasauna or a shopping tour to vintage second hand stores or an extended visit of the City Garden. We can also end the tour at a restaurant or bar according to your preferences, rather than a drop off at the pickup location.
