Interesting information around every turn. A winner! - Santa, our guide, was incredible and filled us in on any details we’d want know to learn about Helsinki, its arts, its hero’s, its Ilyoic history, and the amazing Sumilina Fortress and its history. She made sure the once of walking was ok with us, our seers in the ferry adequate, and that we were hydrated. Wanna has a deep knowledge of the tour sites and is an educated lady in her fields of knowledge. Highly recommend. The tour was paced well. Well worth the cost:

Great Tour - Our tour was 20 April 2024. First I must recognize Zoe. Thank you for rescheduling our tour. All around exceptional customer service. Cesar was a very knowledgeable and professional guide. We toured Helsinki by Sprinter Van, foot and ferry. Cesar was personable. Cesar made sure we saw many interesting and important sites buildings, library, Olympic stadium and a couple of local shops. Cesar is very knowledgeable about the Finnish Culture. He taught us a few Finnish words. Kitos thank you, the only word I remember. We took a short break at the Old Market. My husband and I enjoyed talking over a cup of coffee. We took the ferry to Suomenlinna. Cesar told us the history of the Fort.
I highly recommend this tour.

Helsinki - An Inviting City - The history of Helsinki was brought to life. I was amazed by the culture of a city about which many Americans know little. Seeing Helsinki on a warm summer day is something that everyone should experience.

Good walking tour - In Helsinki we saw 2 churches and a garden. Nothing much to say about it. It was so so. The island Suomenlinna was good. Old township with a view on hill top.
