Lily was a fantastic guide! Despite the freezing -16 degree temperature which couldn’t be helped, we managed to have a great tour of Helsinki and Suomenlinna. Took some great pictures which Lily helped us with and had a great day with the group. Thanks again!

Enjoyed our tour with Harry and the ferry ride was great! Saw a good deal of Helsinki and the hotel pick-up was appreciated. They do not coordinate drop-off as an FYI so you will be responsible for your return after the ferry ride. Very enjoyable!
