Laura was born in Helsinki, and will show you her favourite spots in the city and share its best stories! Her special interests include mysteries, true crime, architecture and public transport.
Come and let us show you the sides of Helsinki you wouldn't otherwise see!
I highly recommend this tour, Laura was a patient, articulate and friendly guide. There were some excellent stories and sites, I had a great time!
Laura took us on a fantastic tour across less mainstream parts of Helsinki. We did a general Helsinki walking tour before, and this tour with Laura was a good complement to it with little repetition. Laura grew up in Helsinki and she clearly is very knowledgeable about the topics she talks about. Honestly for us taking the tour was a gamble since design isn't normally our biggest interest, and architecture normally only interests one of us. But the tour surprises us! Never boring and lots of quality information. Both of us enjoyed it a lot! It's funny to afterwards look around and recognize the details Laura talked about across the city. For example the ways architecture were used against russification were great to recognize. Laura was able to answer all kind of questions and generally helped us with recommendations/ activities to do afterwards too. Thank you Laura!
Absolutely recommend this tour, great info well delivered covers great deal of interesting history.
Very informative.
