Review of: Tour Helsinki with a City Planner
Our 3 hours with Emek were incredibly fun and incredibly informative! We learnt so much about finish culture, the history of Finland and Helsinki and all the important sites and buildings in the city center. Emek was able to answer ALL of my inquisitive questions and did so with a big smile, regardless of whether they related to a building, Sauna-Etikett or the price of housing in Helsinki. We enjoyed every minute and can definitely recommend this tour!!…

It was a pleasure to take a architecture tour with Emek. He told me so much about every detail and the meaning of every house we went to. We went into several buildings and that was pretty interesting because as a tourist you did‘t have the experience to know what building is worth a visit. I had to shift the schedule because of a long line in front of the ateneum and he managed to find a new meetingtime. I‘m very glad that it turn out that way. If I ever will be in Helsinki again I would book another tour with aramantours.…

My wife and I had a wonderful tour that Emek conducted for us this past Wednesday. His experience and knowledge of his adopted hometown shone through, and we are gratefully that he took time to answer the many questions that we had. We were grateful too that he was not rushed and although the pace was leisurely, we felt that we covered a lot of interesting sites and subjects connected with these places. Ending up at the city library was great. Especially since we could sit down and share a cup of coffee with him. Appreciated him answering our many “off topic” questions also.…

Review of: Tour Helsinki with a City Planner
I have traveled to over 100 cities in the world and this tour was, by far, one of the very best! Emek is a smart, friendly, and well-informed guide -- a university professor and a world traveler himself! -- who really knows how to make the city's history come alive by showing you key locations from ancient times to the newest, hippest spaces (the new city library is a marvel of modern design and, inside, offers a fascinating glimpse into everyday Finnish ideals of community involvement), while always being fun and interesting. This tour is a real treat for travelers interested in understanding Helsinki's history and place in the world, and Emek is the perfect "friend" to spend the afternoon with while he shows it all to you!…
