5.00I followed 2 tours with Ainhoa in Helsinki, this morning classical tour and in the afternoon the modern Helsinki tour. She was very knowledgeable and had lots of pictures to show us to illustrate her points, which was highly appreciated! The mike is a nice touch to be sure everybody hears her well. Would highly recommend doing both tours, as the modern one is a complement of the classical one and we see completely different things.
