Great view on history through arts and design
I had a great tour, which showed me new sites of Helsinki. After three days in the city this tour showed new lights on how Finnish ibdependence was achieved amd how architecture and arts helped! Saw all new parts of the city and learned more (in depth) stories about its people. Many space we had for question. I loved it.

Our guide Laura
It was a very nice tour with Laura.. I liked how she implemented various types of explaining (not only through arhitecture but also for example poetry), which was really an added value to the content. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic which keept us focused and in the good mood despite of ugly weather that day. Her english is also fantastic! My recommendation!

A tour not to be missed...
A fascinating insight into the history and soul of Helsinki and Finland through its architecture, design and culture. Our guide, Johnny, was friendly, knowledgeable and considerate as we strolled the streets, parks and waterfront. His anecdotes and stories helped us understand Helsinki and its relationship with others cities as well as raising a smile. Our multi-national group was 10-strong and Johnny ensured regular interaction during more than two hours-plus of easy walking, punctured by an excellent coffee stop. We would highly recommend this tour.
