Great experience! Mikhail...
Great experience! Mikhail is very knowledgeable. We would not have been able to see as much of Helsinki, let alone understand what we were seeing, if it weren't for Mikhail. Harbors, markets, residential neighborhoods, and Helsinki's modern library are just some of the highlights.

Above and beyond
Michail met us at our apartment where we are staying in a suburb. We have been here for a few days so we have walked around and seen most of the 'tourist' attractions so it was a bit more of a challenge to show us things we hadn't previously seen, but he managed to very well for 4 hours. His knowledge of Finnish history and life was very extensive and we got a very good overview of the way of the Fins. I would highly recommend this tour and Michail as a guide.

An excellent dive into the history & culture of Helsinki
Michail was a very knowledgeable guide and had the incredible ability to pass that on to us. We had very little knowledge of the history & culture of Helsinki. But thank to Michail we now do such more. An excellent experience

Excellent morning in Helsinki
We really enjoyed our tour. The walking pace was perfectly suited to us. Mikhail knew so much about the history of the buildings in Helsinki and pointed out so many features that we would have missed. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent half day intro to Helsinki
Darius did a great job giving us an overview of the key area of the city in a morning. We loved the central library which was so much more than expected. He also left us with a recommendation for a great lunch after the tour.
