Great discovery of Helsinki with Ainhoa - I followed 2 tours with Ainhoa in Helsinki, this morning classical tour and in the afternoon the modern Helsinki tour. She was very knowledgeable and had lots of pictures to show us to illustrate her points, which was highly appreciated! The mike is a nice touch to be sure everybody hears her well. Would highly recommend doing both tours, as the modern one is a complement of the classical one and we see completely different things.

Good way to learn more about Helsinki and the Fins - The tour was an excellent way to get to know Helsinki and the Fins. Sufficient time to take a good look, ask questions. Focus on (modern architecture and design but also on some more traditional architecture) . Great guide: Katia

Tour of modern Helsinki - I found the tour of modern Helsinki very good. Our guide Kieto told us interesting facts about Helsinki and Finnish culture. The other participants were also very pleasant and international. The group wasn't too big either. Thank you so much!
