Best walking tour in Europe - I have absolutely enjoyed the walking tour with Valentin today. He is very a professional tour guide with lots of knowledge relating to the history and architecture in Helsinki. He is very passionate with his job and eager to show us around the city. He also went above and beyond to give me tips on how to catch the public transport. I love the Finnish people as they are lovely and friendly. Valentin is definitely one of them to give Finland a good name. I will be back. Love the country and the people. Keep up the excellent work my friend. Well done and thank you so much.

Memorable tour with Calin - Calin gave us a very good introductory tour of Helsinki, even under strong wind and rain condition. Very friendly and humorous. Good coverage of history and culture. Very useful recommendations on where to find good eateries. He also stopped a pickpocket from stealing the purse of one of our tour participants.

great walking tour with Vera - the free walking tour around Helsinki was a great way to learn about the history of the city and of Finland (and neighbors). our guide, Vera, was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny! Even though it was raining for a portion of the tour, we had lots of fun, and as history geeks we had a bunch of extra questions, all of which were promptly answered. i definitely recommend this tour if you enjoy a guided but relaxing walk around the city while learning quite a lot!
