Such a successful walk. We learned so much about Finnish culture and history from our wonderful guide. It was a cold, wet day but the enthusiasm and humour of our guide kept us interested and engaged and he found various warm, dry places! Thank you so much, this walk is highly recommended.

Highly recommend this tour. It really encompasses the city of Helsinki and its history. The guide was fantastic, was clear speaking and very good English. It was never boring like some of these can be.

Matti was energetic and gave us amazing insights into Helsinki and its culture. We returned to his suggested bakery several times! During the walking tour he paid attention to the group and their needs (a cold day, he worked to get us inside), yet we had a great walk. Thank you!
