John - Tour Guide in Helsinki

I am a 36 year old man from the archipelago of Orkney in the far north of Scotland. Since I have been living in Finland now for years, come let me show you the city I have chosen to be home from the perspective of both a foreigner and a local. Get the answers to the real questions about Finnish life and culture from a natural born storyteller. Let me show you a part of Helsinki you would otherwise miss and hear stories you would never hear!

Fenomenal & Outstanding! This tour is a MUST to understand and go in depth about Finland's history, troubles, leading figures, politics, ideals, art, architecture, social policies, recent history... all the while strolling around beautiful and less beaten corners, parks and cemeteries. Be the tourist that goes further than the old town, that wants to learn more and understand the why and the who. Do the classic old town tour, then give yourself the time (we added the coffee break and were quite chatty so ~2:50h) to learn more with the great insightful John.

Response from John
Thank you so much for such a nice review Serena! I am so happy you liked the tour. I am happy to see the rain stayed off for you, I hope you have a wonderful time exploring the city :)
