An Unforgettable Day in Helsinki with Pia! - We had the best time exploring Helsinki with Pia as our guide! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything we had hoped to — and more. She had the perfect route planned for us and shared so many interesting insights along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Helsinki. And if you’re lucky enough to have Pia as your guide, consider it a bonus — she truly made the experience unforgettable. Thank you, Pia, for everything!

Interesting. - Susy is a very friendly and willing person. She gave us a lot of data and the route was pleasant. The stick that I put, not to the guide, but to the experience, is that it is a route that with 2 hours you have more than enough.
