The guide was nice, friendly and clearly tried to make the tour enjoyable. However, if you are an architect, designer, or simply have an interest in architecture and design, I would probably recommend looking for another tour. Our guide is a sociologist and I felt that he did not have the specific sensitivity and depth of knowledge that you would expect from an architecture-focused tour. For example, when we passed in front of Artek, he mentioned that it was founded by Alvar Aalto and compared it to something like IKEA. For someone interested in design, Artek is a cult design brand with an extraordinary place in Finnish and international design history. So, a nice person, but unfortunately not the right tour if your main interest is architecture and design.
Thank you for the comment. During our three-hour tour, I discussed the buildings on our itinerary in detail, as well as several other buildings and aspects of Helsinki’s architectural history. As a Sociologist, however, I approach architecture from a somewhat different perspective. I focus not only on the buildings themselves, but also on how they reflect Finnish culture, history, society, and mythology. I believe this provides depth of knowledge to this experience. At the same time, I understand that you may have different expectations for an architecture tour. Regarding your comment about Artek, I did mention that Artek is like “the IKEA of Finland.” However, I also explained that Artek is a very different level of design and quality and that its products are more expensive than IKEA. I am sorry if this part of the explanation was not clear. Throughout the tour, I took you inside the buildings and not just looked at the facade. I also shared details about the buildings we visited, including the Finnish National Library, Alvar Aalto’s buildings, the Saarinen building, Sanomatalo, Amos Rex, Kamppi Chapel, and Jugend Robert’s Coffee, as well as their wider historical and social context. These are also places that are not typically included in other standard walking tours in Helsinki, particularly from architectural and social perspectives. My intention for this tour is to provide not only information about individual buildings, but also an understanding of how Helsinki’s architecture connects with Finnish society, history, culture, and everyday life. Again, I am so sorry that this tour did not fully meet your expectations.
Helsinki is a treasure trove of architectural marvels from 1896-1904. Getting to know them and the context in world history is enlightening.
The tour with Zana is a great way to walk around Helsinki with a guide who is knowledgeable about local architecture, history and customs . We especially enjoyed going inside buildings that didn’t look particularly special on the exterior to reveal beautiful, hidden gem spaces on the interior.
Zana was a great tour guide highly recommend! He was very knowledgeable and funny and picked up on what we were interested in
Zana was an excellent guide! This was a very interesting introduction to the rich architectural history of Helsinki. I appreciated Zana drawing connections between architectural trends and Finnish history and culture. He is very personable and kind. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for an overview of the top sights around Helsinki!
Extremely knowledgeable guide. Provided social and cultural contexts that enriched my understanding of the architecture. Encouraged questions and tried to adapt tour to participants' interests.
The guide was very courteous, professional and took pains to address all queries and the flow of information was well paced
Zana is an excellent guide. I recommend the tour for a first approach to the beautiful and quiet Helsinki and be able to discover its different architectural styles. Very good tour!
Zana is a nice guy who didn't know much about architecture or Finnish culture or Finnish education. He would take you to a building and point out artificial flowers as important architectural features, confuse architectural styles, not know many architects beyond Engel and Aalto. He kept repeating the same meager facts - "eat salmon soup" was repeated 6 times even though we said we did. Zana kept asking if we had any questions but couldn't answer them when we did or made up the answer incorrectly. Absolutely the worst tour I ever taken Now Zana is trying to cancel my review claiming that there were no tour on that day. We can show the invoice and credit card charge to prove that the tour happened. Zana also did ask us to change the review and even offered to refund the the tour fee.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. I provide an engaging and informative, architecture-focused experience, and I understand that the style and depth may not have aligned with what you were hoping for. I appreciate your feedback regarding repetition, as it is valuable and will be taken into account when refining future tours. Regarding the date of the tour, it did take place as scheduled. I regret any confusion surrounding this matter. My goal is for every guest to leave with a positive impression of the city. While this was not your experience, I value the feedback and will use it to continue improving.
This tour is a great way to start your visit to Helsinki. The walking tour takes you through central Helsinki with stops at major sites and buildings. Our guide Zana, what can I say? He was very knowledgeable of the history, culture and architecture of Helsinki and Finland. He was very in tune to our individual interests and questions. I think he gave great insight into the people and structures of Helsinki. I will remember this tour as one of the highlights of my visit to this wonderful city!
