What can I say about Kerstin. We had a food tour earlier in the day and told her we didnt want to go over the same stuff again. She put together an unbelievable afternoon for us. We visited a hiking trail outside the city. We were able to see the beauty of Finland while also learning more about how they live. The personal interactions really were nice. She had homemade snacks with her too! I can go on and on. If you have the time in Finland to get outside the city, do it.

Very personal tour through Helsinki. Kerstin spoke German as requested. She considered some input we gave her before the tour. The tour was very interesting to us and we have learned a lot from her about the history often in connection with important buildings or places of Helsinki, as e.g. the Olympia Centre. The booked 4 hours were kept always interesting but also with personal sides from her and from us. We can really recommend to book this kind of tour. It is worth each EURO.

We loved our morning with Evi, our local guide! She was knowledgeable and pleasant. And, her English was excellent. The best part was the way Evi accommodated our desires and our pace. We told her a few of the highlights we wanted to see and a couple of places we wanted to skip because we had already seen them. She was very agreeable. Also, I appreciated the way she communicated with us ahead of time so everything went smoothly. We enjoyed her stories about Finnish Christmas customs and her perspective on life in her country. I certainly recommend this tour.

I booked the local guide not as a substitute to a professional guide but an add-on. Specially in Japan nearly every town has ist own Food speciallities. The guide brought us to places we would never found as a tourist. we are still in contact and will meet him at our next visit in Hiroshima

Hello, I am a student at the Hogeschool Rotterdam in the Netherlands. From Tuesday, April 21, I will be in Helsinki with a group of other students for a study trip. We would love to do a walking tour through the city, to see the most important sights in the city. Unfortunately our budget is not very large, but we are very curious about the walking tour for 25 euros. We are with 32 people in total, so I was curious if it is possible to do this walking tour with so many people. In addition, I am also curious if you offer group discounts, I would love to hear from you
