Jo was excellent, was able to answer all questions and made the commentary lively and interesting. We think he went over and above what was expected. The group was small, Jo spoke well and we think he covered everything. We think he was someone who obviously enjoyed doing this. A huge shout out to Jo and a big thanks to would recommend without hesitation
Learned a lot of interesting information from our very knowledgeable guide.
The booking was really easy and only a few hours before the tour started. Our Guide was a 10/10 she was so good and told is a lot of non boring Information.
Very nice and informative. Clear recommendation!
The walking tour with Ragnal (sp) was excellent! He gave us an overall and multi-faceted picture of Finland: historical, political, and cultural, engaging his listeners all along. Amazing job in only two hours!!! His attention to our comfort level was much appreciated: bathroom stop and finding places to sit even, in the shade. Thank you!
We really liked our "free tour" with Ruslan from "green cap tours": Entertaining, informative, humorously told - the history of Finland, everyday life, and various side stories... there is quite a bit of background knowledge there - no question could embarrass him. Ruslan's way of telling stories was a lot of fun for us, and we were also challenged - once or twice - to contribute an answer, so the exciting (good two hours) were over much too quickly.... At the end, there were further links and recommendations for the stay in Helsinki - a well-rounded package. It was absolutely worth it! Thank you Ruslan.
The guide didn’t show at the meeting place provided by Trip Advisor.
Excellent walking tour of the city, with history, stories and humor. In two hours covered a large part of the city in good detail, and it was really enjoyable. Easily worth at least 15 euros and you simply pay what you feel it's worth to the guide. Highly recommend.
Informative and nice guide, visited several spots in the city centre. I learnt more about the history and culture of the country and Helsinki
Been on several walking tours all over the world... and our guide here was the saddest one of them all. Yes it was raining, so we did a lot less walking than expected. So instead of jumpstarting our stay in Helsinki, it dampened my mood. Not the happiest guide for the happiest place on earth
