What you'll see

Our Chauffeur services offer our customers a high-class and extra-comfortable journey in our Luxury Van Mercedes Benz V class (up to 6 passengers).

Whether it’s for a business trip, sightseeing, or a shopping day out, explore Helsinki with ease with this private 4 or 8-hour chauffeured minivan service. Hop aboard your minivan at Helsinki Port or from your hotel then spin through the city streets with a private driver. Discover diverse corners of the city such as Kauppatori and Helsinki's harbor. You and the group decide which attractions will include.

Here are our top five recommendations:
• Helsinki Cathedral and Uspenski Cathedral: These two incredible cathedrals, the contrast with the sky and the incredible frontage inside and outside
• Temppeliaukio Church: The underground interior of the church was carved out of and built directly into the ancient solid rock of the Helsinki peninsula. On the inside, glorious natural light enters through the glazed dome.
• Seurasaari Open-Air Museum: If you want to learn about the way Finlanders lived in years gone by, this is the perfect place! It’s the largest outdoor museum in Finland and the guides are dressed in costumes demonstrating activities of daily life.
• The Market Square (Kauppatori): Try some real traditional Finnish food and buy local arts and crafts, or just enjoy walking by the open-air market.
• Sibelius Monument and Park: Have a nice and relaxing afternoon activity away from the busy city while enjoying the impressive monument. Great place for photographers.

All of our Chauffeurs are multi-lingual, have lots of experience, and will be present in full Chauffeur uniform.
