Everything was very nice. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We can’t understand why it was so expensive, since there was no bus, and it did rain intermittently.

Harry was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave a wonderful understanding of the Finnish people and culture. (It would have been nice to know where other tour attendees were from.) We really enjoyed Harry’s knowledge of the history of Finland from Sweden to Russian to their independence and current affairs.
The tour on Soumenlinna was ok, and we didn’t get to visit everything or walk around on our own.
We recommend spending another full day to walk by the colorful houses and beautiful parks and explore the waterside of Helsinki.
