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!
I have been to 35 countries and the first thing i typically do when i arrive to a new location is a walking tour, so i have been on many walking tours. This tour was one of the best, if not the best walking tour i have been on! The tour was focused on history, but also culture, language, and aspects of finnish life. He explains things really well! Not too much information not too little, just the right amount of detail. Phenomenal walking tour. It made me appreciate Finland and Helsinki even more.
Johnny is a great guide. He is very knowledgeable, freindly, covers a large range of topics. The tour is well planned and involves quite a lot of walking through less central areas. He relates to questions generously and honestly. I feel I gained a lot from it and surely recommend it.
It was a very good tour and you could see thing that are not part of the usual tourist tour. Highly recommended!
We greatly appreciated the uniqueness of the tour. It was an experience that introduced us to new locations. John provided insightful commentaries at each site, enhancing our understanding. His explanations and readiness to address all our questions reflected his extensive knowledge and passion for his work. We highly recommend it!
We had a great experience with our tour guru John. He was very engaging, full of interesting information, and extremely friendly from start to finish. John made us feel as though we were part of the everyday life of the city while also helping us discover Finland’s rich history. The pace of the tour was comfortable and we never felt rushed. It was a superb experience and we would recommend John to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable tour.
