Great walking tour in Helsinki - Was a really fun, funny and informative walking tour. It helped that it was also a beatiful, sunny day! Oodi was a great way to finish, as the library itself was an interesting place to just wander, have coffee or buy some lunch.

A great way to introduce yourself to Finland - This tour was “finntastic” just like the title said. Matti was our guide and he had great enthusiasm, was very knowledgeable, a fantastic sense of humor, and did an amazing job of managing our group. We covered a lot of ground and felt that he gave us an inside look into Finnish life. He was very eager to answer all our questions.
