The entire session is for 90 minutes and the tour has a cost of about $ 36 per person.

A very smart move as a tourist would be to invest in a Helsinki Card. This card is designed especially for tourists to use it on all modes of travel and to roam around the adventurous city in peace without worrying of transport charges. The card has a certain number of trams and metros covered within it. This kind of tour is an independent choice that the tourist makes on his own of where and when to visit. Another advantage of the card is free entrance in major museums and cultural sites. Along with the card comes a guide book and a map that helps you around the city while you explore it. It is valid for one day.

However, if you plan to visit one neighborhood at a time, you can easily chose to walk around and take in the natural beauty of the capital.
