I truly enjoyed the Ataman tour of Helsinki architecture. Emek was a fantastic guide, providing an engaging narrative of Helsinki history a culture, as reflected in different architectonic styles and movements. He also explained current trends in Finnish architecture, and how they are shaped both by Finnish history and contemporary social influences. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour as a wonderful introduction to Finland history and culture.

I can 100% reccomend this tour and the guide. It was a super interesting tour about finnish architects and the buidldings they designed in Helsinki. The guide gave a lot of background to the architects and explained why and how they designed the buildings the way they did. So you could really understand the idea behind the concept of the buildings. We also went into many buildings such as the national library, main station, pohjola and buildings from Alvar Alto.
