Georg was phenomenal! His enthusiasm for Finland was evident during the entire tour. Despite it being Sunday with many things closed, we had a very enjoyable tour. We now have a good knowledge of Finnish culture and traditions. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Angela is a wonderful ambassador for Helsinki. I was very impressed with the library and liked learning about the culture.
