Fantastic evening (pre-dinner) walking tour - Peter (spelling?) was a great guide! He answered all our many questions and gave us facts/fun stories along the way. This tour was the perfect way to start my visit with an overview of Helsinki history and a beautiful evening walk with a competent guide. Don't hesitate to book this tour. It is especially great as something fun to do before any dinner plans because the timing is perfect.
