5.00I did the Helsinki & Suomenlinna City Tour with Sergio as the guide, and I really enjoyed it. He knows the city inside out and you can tell he genuinely cares about its history and culture. That enthusiasm comes through in the way he explains things — it makes you want to learn more. Sergio gave a great mix of historical background and little details about everyday life in Helsinki today. It was very informative and easy to follow. I’d definitely recommend this tour, and Sergio in particular, to anyone who wants a clear and engaging introduction to the city.

5.00The tour of Helsinki and Suomenlinna was the rod, super cool to catch the top of the city and its history. We saw the cathedral, the flea market and the monument to Sibelius, then we stuck a ferry ride to the fortress of Suomenlinna, where the guide released a lot of interesting facts and good vibes about its military and cultural past. Organized luxury and very cool, I highly recommend it to anyone who comes to Helsinki.
Friendly Helsinki.
