I had a wonderful time on this walking tour of Helsinki. Sergio was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Prior to this tour, I knew very little about Helsinki. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to learn about this fascinating city. I also appreciate Sergio’s advice regarding where to eat after the end of the tour, and for showing us how to reach the restaurant (which was fantastic). I highly recommend this educational and interesting walking tour of Helsinki.

Easy walking tour with lots of great information about the Finnish culture, which where I come from would be considered a little bit crazy. For instance, the Kalsarikaennit, drinking in one's underwear !
