Helsinki with Robbie, a guide service, introduces first-timers to Finnish sauna culture and eases worries about cold water and nudity. Options include a 1.5-hour visit to a modern floating sauna about ten minutes from the centre, where nobody is naked; guided visits to Allas Sea Pool and Löyly; ice-dipping at the seaside; and an outing to Lonna island, about ten minutes by ferry from Market Square, with a bar and restaurant. There is also a tour of underground war bunkers.
Everything is booked online in advance, also via GetYourGuide, Viator and Tripadvisor. Contact is by phone, email, Instagram or WhatsApp, and the website is in English. Cards and contactless mobile payments are accepted.
