Good tour - Zana is a very personable engaging young man. As a foreign student doing his graduate degree at Helsinki University he has a newcomer’s fresh perspective on the city. He showed us around the major sites and oriented us to the city. There were only 3 of us ( maximum of 6 people) so it was really nice to have a small tour
