It was Finntastic!! - We took English speaking tour. Matti was fabulous! He provided interesting historical background, funny stories, and great insights to Finnish culture. The walk was mostly flat with a few stairs.

Great history and culture walk around Helsinki - Mattie was a fantastic guide. I learned a lot more about Finnish history and culture. I had been to Helsinki before a long time ago and I learned some things I did not know. He provided so much information and made the tour really interesting.

A Must do Guided Tour!! - Aug 25th Guide was awesome! From the beginning at Senate Square through the 3 km walk through historical sites and ending at the Most Unique “Library” full of interactive rooms to record music, study rooms, and even a cinema. He was full of history, educational facts, culture, language and knowledge of Finnish cuisine!

Great Introduction to Helsinki - The guide was knowledgeable and charming. I’m an old lady with a bad knee, but the walk was quite manageable. I recommend it highly.
