Medi's tour of Helsinki was great, he covered the main sights that i wanted to visit as well as more. We learnt about Finnish history & culture in a relaxed & informative way. Ending at the wonderful new library was a highlight. Great tour.

Our Finntastic tour with Medi lived up to it’s name. We had a great time and especially appreciated the insights into Finnish culture. Seeing the Central Library and learning about the unique features of the library system were unexpected highlights.
