It really made me happy learn about the different buildings/sights and their historical background, meaning and today's use/importance of them. The guide was very nice and always tried to answer any questions, even the ones that didn't necessarily target the main sights of the tour. I enjoyed the tour!

Hicimos el tour con Álvaro y superó nuestras expectativas. Álvaro no sólo nos enseñó los principales lugares visitados en el centro, si no que aprovechó para adentrarnos en la cultura finlandesa, su historia y sus curiosidades, resultando de lo más interesante. Altamente recomendable
