Excellent guide - nice mix of history, economics, politics and banter. Group had about 20 in it but Matt marshalled everyone very well.

Perfect, absolutely loved it, so informative and full of humour! It was a great length, with considerate sitting breaks and speed of walking. Guide was very open to answering questions, and we’ve left the tour with high opinions of this country and their people.

Very informative, interactive and fun! Our guide is very proud of his country and it shows in how good he is at his job. The public library in Helsinki is fabulous.

Excellent walking tour. Matti is knowledgeable and engaging. Great for orientating yourself to central Helsinki. The library was a particular highlight.
