    Namaste was our tour guide in what turned out to be a 3 hour tour. We learned so much about the various buildings, and the roles the various historical governments/rulers played in the city design, layout and architecture.He spoke with knowledge and wonderful pride of all the world-class Finnish architects influenced Helsinki and other cities in the world. It was so good. During our time together or conversation meandered into Finnish, culture, economy and sociological traits. It's the fun of traveling. Clearly Namaste's PhD studies shined bright during these discussions. Great tour by excellent guide.

    Loved this tour. It was the perfect way to start our Helsinki trip. This city lives and breathes architecture. The buildings tell the story of Finland. You see a ton on the walk. Zana was passionate, knowledgable, and connected with my high school-age nephew. I wish Zana all the best.
