“This tour was supposed to be a walking tour, but was upgraded with hotel pick-up and drive to the various attractions which made me happy considering it was a very cold day in Helsinki. Our first guide Henry, was a cautious driver and provided us with adequate information about the sites and enough time for us to walk around on our own. Our other guide at the Suomenlinna was Christina who was a wealth on information. She pointed out important areas of the fortress and history of the attraction. My husband & I enjoyed the tour including the ferry going to Suomenlinna.”
