    Everything was very nice. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We can’t understand why it was so expensive, since there was no bus, and it did rain intermittently.

    Harry was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave a wonderful understanding of the Finnish people and culture. (It would have been nice to know where other tour attendees were from.) We really enjoyed Harry’s knowledge of the history of Finland from Sweden to Russian to their independence and current affairs. The tour on Soumenlinna was ok, and we didn’t get to visit everything or walk around on our own. We recommend spending another full day to walk by the colorful houses and beautiful parks and explore the waterside of Helsinki.

    Was a great tour! Our tour was up graded to half a vehicle tour and half of a walking tour. Our guide provided an excellent tour of the city highlights and many out of the way, points of interest. Could never have seen so much on our own. This tour is one I can highly recommend.
